Colossal. These are the words I would use to describe the 12” Pepperoni Pizza Steak from Bub and Pop’s, just as readily as I would for legendary sea creatures. Both that sandwich and the Real Obama, which my wife opted for in a more modest 6” size, were astonishingly loaded with juicy, mouthwatering meat, cheese, sauce, and vegetables. It’s the kind of sandwich that forces you to pause for breath between bites to prevent being pulled into a flavorful abyss. The hoagie rolls holding everything together are delightfully crunchy and chewy, doing their best to contain the delicious chaos but ultimately leaving you in need of a sink and paper towels, depending on your choice. The Real Obama might be forgiving enough for a quick exit to a White House Press Conference, but beware — all hope is lost for those taking on the pepperoni pizza steak. If this review has made you smile or raised an eyebrow at my dramatic flair (though perhaps not as much as Jules Verne or Herman Melville), just know that the sandwich is to blame.

The fried shrimp on the rich boy and the roast porchetta on the Philly are tempting, but I might never experience their flavors because the Italian is simply perfection.
