The meatball hero is available at the Cascarino’s Pizza locations throughout Citi Field. I got mine at the one in straightaway center near Beer Island or whatever it’s called. Cascarino’s makes excellent pizza, but I rarely get pizza at the park because it seems like the difference in price between pizza in the stadium and pizza outside the stadium is proportionately higher than it is with other foods.

Anyway, here’s the meatball hero:

This is a tough one for me to judge because I am — as I have mentioned here before — enormously biased toward my mother’s meatballs. In terms of meatballs that weren’t made by mom, though, these seem pretty decent. And the sauce and cheese are good. But it was pretty clear that the meatball hero had been pre-prepared and under heat for a while, and that was a too much for the bread to withstand. The sauce soaked into its crevices, rendering it soggy and the sandwich very messy — less than ideal for eating at the ballpark.
