Ditto around here (New Haven), although my usual concern is the
distinction between "hot" and "sweet", not that between "capicola"
and "cappocollo" (or other variants).  The hot version is truly
ambrosial, although no doubt higher in cholesterol than ambrosia.
And, as the OED foresaw, particularly good with provolone, whether or
not you pronounce the final vowel of the latter.
