Mortadella.
Bologna's silky, delicately spiced pork sausage, studded with cubes of fat and sometimes pistachios. The ancestor that American bologna wishes it still resembled.
Sliced whisper-thin, it eats soft and faintly sweet, which is why Italian subs layer it against sharper salami and coppa.
At Paisan’s: Mortadella anchors Nonno Ben's Gourmet Sub alongside salami, coppa, and Swiss.
