Roma Market

Roma Market. Christmas decorations up year-round (for who knows how many years). Their signature sandwich, a loaf of bread drenched in imported Italian olive oil and filled with freshly sliced provolone and artichoke hearts. $7. If you really want a treat, buy some olives and a blood orange soda. Eat it in the parking lot. One of Pasadena’s greatest joys.

(There’s also a meat version of this sandwich, which has three types of meat)
