The seven flavor axes of the whole sandwich, each summed across its layers. The shaded ring is the catalog's middle 80%; the small number under each axis is where this sandwich falls in the catalog. A shape that sits inside the ring is in the range most sandwiches live in; a spike past it is where this one stands apart.

Points: what the Sandwich Score would lose if that one layer were left out, everything else the same. A negative number means the sandwich scores higher without it. Flavor runs 0 to 5 on each axis.

## Pairings

- **Pepperoni + Salami**: the italian sub's spiced cures
- **Pepperoni + Provolone**: pizzeria cure under sharp provolone
- **Salami + Provolone**: italian sub spine: salami and provolone
- **Salami + Italian Vinaigrette (oil & vinegar)**: vinaigrette cuts fatty salami, sub shop law
- **Provolone + Italian Vinaigrette (oil & vinegar)**: sharp cheese, sharp dressing
- **Mayonnaise + Tomato**: summer tomato sandwich: acid on rich
- **Lettuce + Italian Vinaigrette (oil & vinegar)**: dressed greens, the sub shop way
- **Tomato + Italian Vinaigrette (oil & vinegar)**: vinaigrette on tomato, salad logic
- **Onion + Italian Vinaigrette (oil & vinegar)**: raw onion in vinegar, the quick pickle

## How to raise it

- Outstanding, not legendary: the menu does not name its bread.
