We take a look at sandwich options for your winter and fall menu

As the weather begins to turn cooler, customers inevitably yearn for heavier foods, even at lunch. Since sandwiches are often ordered at lunch and not so much during the dinner daypart in pizzerias, now is a great time to begin planning a sandwich lineup you can deploy as limited time offerings or weekly specials to get you through the upcoming cold months.

We’ll start with Chicken Parmesan because it’s a classic staple that utilizes ingredients you are likely to have on hand. Most love this dish, so let’s turn it into a delicious sub.

Next up is a cheesesteak, in honor of the upcoming visit to Philadelphia for PizzaCon next month. I’m sure many of you will trek to some of the City of Brotherly Love’s iconic cheesesteak shops while there. I know I will. A juicy cheesesteak is easily one of my favorite sandwiches. However, let’s put a twist on this one and use chicken instead of beef.

Sliders remain all the rage, and appetizer sales continue to be popular. This Caprese Meatball Slider is not only guaranteed to fly off the shelves, but it is versatile. Use it on your appetizer menu or serve 3 together for a weekly sandwich deal. The choice is yours, but you won’t go wrong either way.
