When I was a kid, I always asked my mom to make this.

Italian sub squares are a delightful and hearty treat that’s perfect for feeding a crowd, especially on game day or at family gatherings. This dish captures the essence of a classic Italian sub sandwich but in a fun, shareable form. It’s loaded with layers of delicious meats, cheeses, and vegetables, all baked to perfection in a flaky crescent roll crust. These squares are satisfying and easy to handle, making them a favorite for both adults and kids.

These Italian sub squares pair beautifully with a simple side salad or a bowl of minestrone soup. For a more Italian-American inspired meal, serve them alongside some crispy garlic bread and a heaping tray of antipasto with olives, marinated vegetables, and Italian cheeses. A fizzy soda or a chilled glass of sweet tea also makes for a refreshing accompaniment.
