## Story

PHILADELPHIA — PrimoHoagies is turning up the heat with the debut of the NEW Bada Boom Meatball, a bold, spicy limited-time hoagie that puts a fiery twist on classic Primo flavor.

Crafted from PrimoHoagies’ authentic Italian, proprietary family recipe, the Bada Boom Meatball showcases tender, flavorful meatballs made from a traditional blend of one-third veal, one-third beef, and one-third pork, and seasoned with the brand’s signature mix of Italian spices. Served on PrimoHoagies’ award-winning seeded bread, the Bada Boom Meatball is layered with sharp provolone, fiery long hots and finished with a drizzle of Primo’s signature spice and oil blend. Available for a limited time starting Monday, March 30, the Bada Boom Meatball brings an irresistible kick to a classic Italian favorite.

“Our family’s premium meatball recipe has set a high standard for years,” said Nicholas Papanier Jr., Owner, President & CEO of PrimoHoagies. “Think of the new Bada Boom Meatball like the old‑school Sunday way to enjoy meatballs, done the Primo way. It’s simple, it’s classic. No sauce, just quality ingredients and the spicy kick people are looking for.”

All day on Monday, March 30, PrimoPerks members can celebrate “Mangia Monday” with an exclusive offer on $9.99 Primo Size Bada Boom Meatball or Italian Hoagies, including the signature Italian, Mild Italian, Old Italian, Sharp Italian, Mild Sharp Italian, and Italian Diablo sandwiches.
