7 Stellar Sandwiches to Try, Volume Two

7 Stellar Sandwiches to Try, Volume Two

Jan 21, 20192 min read

Sure you can make a sandwich at home, but are you going to bake your own bread or roast your own beef? Or wash and leaf your own lettuce?

If you do, good for you — for the rest of us, it’s worth the money for someone else to make the sandwiches. They’re cheap anyways.

Complicated sandwiches are filled with many layered components that require care, but they are oh so worth it. Here’s our second list of stellar sandwiches in Tucson to put on your radar.

Max’s Muffalotta at Beyond Bread

421 W. Ina Rd. • 3026 N. Campbell Ave. • 6260 E. Speedway Blvd.

Max’s Muffalotta lives up to its name with alotta filling: capicola, ham, pepperoni, provolone, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, olive paste, tomato, red onion, and vinaigrette on Beyond Bread’s freshly baked ciabatta.

For a heavy but oh-so-satisfying sandwich, get the Chicken Parmesan Sub. If you want to take it to the next level with garlic bread, order the Greasy Italian Sub. You’ll need your stretchy pants for this one.
