Blackstone Chopped Italian Sandwich
This viral TikTok sensation is getting the griddle treatment in this new twist on a popular social media craze. We took pepperoni, salami, and ham, chopped it up, and let it get sizzling hot on the griddle before being smooshed between two pieces of a toasty Italian loaf that was loaded with melted provolone cheese.
Then, we amped up the whole thing by dousing some lettuce in a homemade (and easy) Italian Vinaigrette.
The teenagers in the house ate all of these with no complaints and said it needed to return to the menu, stat. We’re busy coming up with more fun variations for this easy, toasty, satisfying meal.

Chopped Italian Sandwich FAQ
Can this be made ahead of time?
Sure! Just wait to toss the dressing with the lettuce until right before you serve the sandwiches. You can grill up the meat and the bread before-hand, wrap it in foil, and then fully assemble once you’re ready to eat.
What’s the best way to store and reheat leftovers?
Only assemble what you’re going to eat in one sitting, for starters. Lettuce on a sandwich doesn’t keep. If you DO assemble too much to eat in one sitting, eat the leftovers cold instead of reheated for the best results.
Are there any recommended substitutions or additions?
This is a sandwich, and sandwiches are very flexible. Want some onions? Chop them up and toss with the lettuce. Love mustard? Drizzle that in the dressing too, or right on the bread after it comes off the griddle.
