Which Wich, 411 State St.; 2177 Deming Way, Middleton; 2828 Prairie Lakes Dr., Sun Prairie
The chain offers little in the way of pre-invented combos; you’re the boss, among a world of add-ons. Scribble your choices onto pre-printed order slips that double as bags for your sandwich.

Grab-and-go
Fraboni’s, 822 Regent St.; 108 Owen Rd., Monona
The Italian sub — Genoa salami paired with coppa ham that’s just a little spicy, provolone, lettuce, tomatoes and a little Italian dressing — is simple and satisfying. Perfect picnic fare.

The “Power Ball” is a lusciously yielding meatball stuffed with — surprise! — mozzarella cheese, topped with a hearty, earthy homemade marinara sauce. For sides, try the vinegary three-bean salad and some hand-sliced, homemade chips.
