The meatball sub is an Italian-American creation, evolving from Italian immigrant communities in the early 20th century who adapted their meatball and tomato sauce traditions to the American hoagie roll. It became a beloved staple of delis and pizzerias throughout the 20th century, especially popular in Northeastern cities.
