    As Nick commented, melted mozz is definitely an Italian beef thing. That's what I get at Portillo's along with the hot giardiniera. Also, olives appear in giardiniera from time to time. Jars of Ditka's giardiniera from Jewels have them. Have you guys tried Al's?

    I had one of these the other day and thought it was great! (So is the "pizza style" beef with marinara, which I've been getting since before it was a "real" menu item.) I am semi-addicted to Buona's chopped salad so getting me to get anything else there is a big deal - luckily I live super close to one.
    FWIW pretty much any place will put cheese on your beef! Just not pub cheese, usually either mozz or provolone. I'm not sure if Johnnie's would though, they might consider that an affront to their craft 😂
