Method
Bread & Prep
Prepare roll
Warm the hoagie roll briefly (optional) — 10–15 seconds in a microwave or 3–4 minutes in a 350°F/175°C oven wrapped in foil. Slice the roll lengthwise without cutting completely through, leaving a hinge.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on the bottom half of the roll. Brush 1 tablespoon olive oil on the inside of the top half of the roll.
Assemble Meats & Cheese
Layer the sliced meats on the bottom half of the roll in this order for balanced flavor and texture: prosciutto, mortadella, salami, pepperoni, then capicola. Fan the slices so they slightly overlap and cover the length of the roll.
Top the meats with the provolone slices, distributing them evenly so each bite contains cheese.
Vegetables & Pickles
Drain the marinated artichoke hearts well and quarter them if not pre-cut. Arrange the artichoke quarters on top of the provolone, distributing them along the sandwich.
Evenly layer the shredded lettuce over the artichokes, then place the tomato slices on top of the lettuce. Add the dill pickle slices where they fit — either along the length of the sandwich or at one end, depending on preference.
If using banana pepper rings or sliced olives, scatter them now for a bright, briny contrast.
Seasoning & Finish
In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp red wine vinegar with 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, dried oregano, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to emulsify briefly.
Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the vegetables and meats. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tsp dried oregano (if desired) for extra aroma.
Close the sandwich and press gently to compact the layers. If serving later or to help set, wrap tightly in parchment paper and press for 10 minutes. Slice the sandwich in half on the diagonal and serve immediately.
