A Zep is a distant relative of the Hoagie, specific to Norristown, PA, a small town about 20 miles outside Philadelphia. It is notable because it uses ONE meat (usually spicy salami, but could be ham or even tuna salad.) It traditionally has thick cut tomato and onion slices, a smear of hot pepper relish and a sprinkle of oregano. Many believe it was named after the zeppelin, but it may have been named after an Italian guy named "Zeppoli" or something. Generally, the roll is so what shorter than a hoagie roll. Most connoisseurs prefer the rolls from Conshohocken Bakery which is very close to Norristown.

Yes it is similar to a Hoagie, but a Norristown PA ZEP IS MADE WITH REGULAR OIL NO VINEGAR, AND OREGANO ON THE ROLL, AND SOME PREFER TO GET MORE OIL AND OREGANO ON TOP OF YOUR CHOICE OF ITALIAN, TURKEY, ROAST BEEF, HAM, AND MOST GET PROVOLONE CHEESE!!!! ITS AN AWESOME ZEP, THE ROLLS FROM CONSHOHOCKEN BAKERY COME FRESH EVERYDAY, ITS THE ROLL, AND THE WAY IT ALL COMES TOGETHER THAT MAKES IT A VERY GREAT SANDWICH, OR NO ITS A NORRISTOWN ZEP, I GREW UP IN NORRISTOWN PA AND HAD THE PLEASURE OF GOING TO LOU'S STEAK AND ZEP RESTAURANT, YUM YUM!!!!

A zep is a hoagie without lettuce and tomato. It's a roll, meat and cheese
