**100** Balance, out of 100

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

- **Salami + Pepperoni**: the italian sub's spiced cures
- **Pepperoni + Mozzarella**: pizza law: pepperoni under the melt
- **Lettuce + Balsamic (vinegar, glaze)**: dressed shredded lettuce, the sub shop way
- **Tomato + Mozzarella**: caprese core: milky against sweet acid
- **Tomato + Balsamic (vinegar, glaze)**: vinegar on tomato, salad logic
- **Onion + Balsamic (vinegar, glaze)**: raw onion in vinegar, the quick pickle
- **Mozzarella + Balsamic (vinegar, glaze)**: dark acid against milky cheese

## How to raise it

- Outstanding, not legendary: nothing on this sandwich is house-made, named or exceptional.
