Firehouse Subs Pepperoni Pizza Meatball Sub (Copycat Recipe)
The Pepperoni Pizza Meatball Sub is a Firehouse Subs fan-favorite that combines tender meatballs, zesty marinara, melty provolone, and crispy pepperoni on buttery garlic bread. This recipe recreates the same bold, comforting flavors at home.
Ingredients
For the Meatballs & Marinara:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for flavor and juiciness)
- 1/2 lb ground pork or mild Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce (or homemade)
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
For the Sandwich:
- 1 large sub roll (or hoagie roll)
- 2–3 slices provolone cheese
- 10–12 slices deli pepperoni
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
1. Make the Meatballs
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, pork/sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently by hand until just combined (avoid overmixing).
- Roll into 1 to 1.5-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Cook the Meatballs
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
(Alternatively, pan-sear in a skillet for extra flavor before simmering in sauce.)
3. Simmer in Sauce
- Heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes if using.
- Add cooked meatballs and simmer for 15–20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
4. Prepare the Garlic Roll
- Mix melted butter with minced garlic and Italian seasoning.
- Slice the sub roll lengthwise (not all the way through).
- Brush garlic butter inside the roll and lightly toast under the broiler or in a skillet until fragrant.
5. Assemble the Sub
- Place meatballs with marinara inside the garlic roll.
- Lay provolone slices over the meatballs.
- Add pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
6. Broil to Finish
- Place the open sandwich under a preheated broiler for 2–3 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and pepperoni edges curl slightly.
- Watch closely to prevent burning.
7. Serve
- Sprinkle with extra Italian seasoning if desired.
- Close the roll, slice in half, and serve hot with a side of marinara for dipping.
✨ Pro Tip: For an even more Firehouse-style experience, serve with a dill pickle spear on the side.
