Sometimes the craving just hits for a spectacular Pizza Oven Sub! Brushing the Buns with Garlic Butter or Garlic Sauce before saucing with Pizza Sauce is one of the key items to elevate this from any standard Pizza Oven Sub. The other key item is to use Top Quality ingredients. Don’t buy that 3 in one Pizza Pack. Buy Top Quality Ingredients.

Oven Sub Bread
With the bread, we have a few choices. We can pick up a long Artisan or Ciabatta bread loaf, or we can use a Garlic Bread Loaf. In either case, we want to deliver the Oven Sub, Open-Faced. Two of my favorite buns to use are the Panini Bread & Italian Bread coated in Cornmeal.

Garlic Butter
Use either the Garlic Butter or Garlic Sauce to brush the Ovensubs before saucing with the Pizza Sauce.

Garlic Sauce
Pizza Sauce
Use Passata Pizza Sauce. Optionally, with a dash of Ketchup to the Pizza Sauce to slightly change it for Oven Subs. This will give it a higher note. We do the same thing for Cheeseburger Oven Subs, which uses the Quick Tomato Sauce.

Pizza Oven Sub Toppings
Be sure to pick up High Quality Ingredients for the Pizza Oven Subs. Go with your choice of Toppings.
Pepperoni
The Pepperoni I highly recommend is below. This is a high quality, cured pepperoni excellent for Pizza, Pizza Subs, Pasta, and Pasta Sauce.

Ground Beef
Heat a pan up on medium heat and throw some ground beef in with a splash of Worcestershire or soy sauce and cover with a lid.
You can also portion out ground beef into 1/2 tsp and roll into tiny meatballs, the same as you would get at a Pizzeria. Then bake in the oven, air fryer or in a pan over medium heat until cooked through. This will give you perfectly cooked, Nugget of ground beef which you can use for Pizza, Oven Subs, Cheeseburger Soup, Cheeseburger Poutine, and other recipes.

Italian Sausage
Use a Homemade Italian Sausage meat mix or store bought Italian Sausage with the casing removed. These can also be portioned into 1/2 tsp tiny little nuggets, the same as Pizzerias.

Mozza Cheese blend
Use a blend of a High Moisture Mozzarella Cheese mixed with Provolone Cheese at a 3:1 Ratio. This is a must and really elevates the Ovensubs more.
