There's no shortage of good Italian sandwiches in Chicago, so if you plan to serve one, it better be good. Now that that public service announcement is out of the way, please go get a Spicy Italian (12" for $12) from Chop Shop in Bucktown.
This new butcher/deli/bar/restaurant/event space (seriously) is still getting its feet wet in Bucktown, but it's got a near-perfect Italian sandwich coming out of the deli section. The meats are all incredibly flavorful, each showcasing their own unique seasoning.
