I especially like meatball subs. Sauce and melted "mutz".

Always bake in the oven. Even hardcore Italians are doing it this way. This batch I mixed in pork. About 33%. I usually go with straight venison and add other "fatty" type ingredients like ricotta to make it less dry. I don't have a preference. They both come out good.

Speaking as a hardcore Italian  yes, we bake in the oven . I will say, however, we have only started doing it that way for a few years (and not all the time).

MOST times (and this is how I grew up eating them)... we just roll them and plop them into the gravy (er.. sauce :-)  and cook low-and-slow all day. So in the morning, we mix up the gravy (er.. sauce) ingredients in a pot, put the raw meatballs in the pot, cook on low all day, ready by dinner time.

Fry brings out more flavor without a doubt

ABSOLUTELY!!!  But I still bake mine because I don't want to deal with the mess of frying.

Bake and then a quick fry with a clove or two of garlic in the olive oil.

Baking meatballs is like using a condem with holes in it......USELESS

I have to agree with BHC on this. Baking meatballs is just useless. And no self-respecting Italian bakes them.
