Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Slice the sub rolls lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through. Open them slightly and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the insides of the sub rolls with olive oil and sprinkle the minced garlic evenly across each roll.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce inside each sub roll.
Layer shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across all sub rolls, reserving a small handful for topping later.
Add 5 pepperoni slices to each sub roll, followed by an even distribution of crumbled cooked Italian sausage.
Top each sub with a few banana pepper rings and a pinch of red chili flakes, adjusting according to your spice preference.
Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra gooeyness.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves.
Serve hot and enjoy your spicy, cheesy pizza sub sandwiches!
