Hero Sandwiches in NYC — Pizza Pete's NY

Italian heros on Columbus between 85th and 86th

A hero sandwich in NYC is the long Italian roll — the New York name for what other cities call a sub or a hoagie. Pizza Pete's NY lists four heros at 528 Columbus Avenue in 10024: Chicken Parmigiana Hero, Meatball Parmigiana Hero, Eggplant Parmigiana Hero, and Sausage, Pepper, & Onion Hero. That is the Heros board on the live menu, not a hidden lunch list.

If you searched hero sandwich NYC or Italian heros on the Upper West Side, this is the shop between 85th and 86th Street on Columbus. Dine-in, takeout, and delivery all come from that same kitchen as the slice line.

The four heros, plus a sausage & pepper roll

Chicken, meatball, and eggplant parm heros are the sandwich versions of those Italian-American plates. The Sausage, Pepper, & Onion Hero is the grilled-sausage option on the same roll. Live delivery menus list each of those four heros at $10.

Calzones & Rolls is a different section. If you want sausage and peppers in baked dough instead of on a hero, that item is the Sausage & Pepper Roll — a roll, not a fifth hero.

Dine-in, takeout, or delivery in 10024

Eat the hero at a table at Pizza Pete's NY, pick it up on Columbus Avenue, or have it delivered through the Upper West Side. Hours are 10AM–10PM daily.

Pizza still shares the ticket

NY-style pies, specialty slices, pasta entrees, and Garlic Knots stay on the same order if only part of the table wants a hero. The shop has been on Columbus Avenue since 2003 — one location, not a sandwich chain.
