Subway has always been known for their customization. You can choose whatever goes into your sandwich and how it is prepared. Pair that with the amount of toppings, fillings, sauce, and meat they have available and there’s basically endless possibilities on what kind of sandwich you can make.
In theory, you can actually invent a sandwich and make it a part of Subway’s secret menu. But for this list, we just went with the most popular choices that aren’t advertised on their regular menu.
So get ready to try some of the best sandwiches you’ll ever have because these are the 10 best Subway secret menu items.
10. Pizza Sub
Who doesn’t love pizza right? Sometimes a good ol’ pizza is just what does the trick. But what if you find yourself at Subway? Do they have a pizza option? The good news is that they do but it takes a bit of creativity to get it made. The Pizza Sub was actually on their official menu for a limited time back in 2012. It has since been gone but Subway still has the ingredients available to make one. The Pizza Sub will definitely satisfy your pizza cravings in a pinch.
How to order this secret menu item: Order an Italian Herbs and Cheese, then ask for pepperoni, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese to be included on toasted bread.
9. The Wing Effect
The Wing Effect is more of a menu hack rather than an actual item. It’s also more about the visual appearance of your sandwich instead of what the sandwich itself is made of. It’s called the Wing Effect because it makes your sandwich look like it has wings. Subway usually tucks the meat in but if you ask to have your sandwich with the Wind Effect, they’ll leave the meat (usually bologna) hanging on the sides.
How to order this secret menu item: Ask your sandwich artist to give your sandwich the Wing Effect. You can also tell them to leave the meat hanging off the edge of your sub.
8. The V Cut
Like the Wing Effect, the V Cut focuses more on the appearance rather than what the sandwich is made of. It adds more to your experience and gives another layer of personalization to your sub. Back in the day, Subway had a specific way of cutting the bread on their sandwiches. They would dig out the top half of the bread in the shape of a V instead of cutting it from the side. This way, when you put everything together it would hold everything in place and make it easier to eat.
How to order this secret menu item: Ask the sandwich artist preparing your sub to have it cut in the V Cut. If they’re having trouble, just explain to them how it’s done.
7. Chicken Cordon Bleu
There really is no shortage of sandwiches you can come up with at Subway. With a wide range of ingredients at your disposal, you are literally only limited by your imagination. Ever wanted to have a Cordon Bleu Sub Sandwich? Well you can do just that at your local Subway.
How to order this secret menu item: To get this secret menu item, just order a sub with roasted chicken breast, ham, Swiss cheese, a few slices of bacon, and honey mustard.
6. Deconstructed Breakfast Taco
Subway once tried to up their breakfast game and decided to throw their hat into the ring back in 2010. It didn’t work out in their favor since they were a little late to the party. But they still came out with lots of delicious breakfast items that sound so good, it’s mind-boggling why they took them out of their menu. One of those meals is the Deconstructed Breakfast Taco. Fortunately, Subway still has all the ingredients available so you just have to ask specifically to get this sandwich made.
How to order this secret menu item: Order a sandwich with flatbread, steak, egg whites, tomatoes, guacamole, red onion, and chipotle sauce.
5. Sweet and Sour
This chicken sub has to be one of the best sandwiches you can have at Subway since it combines its two best sauces: red wine vinaigrette and sweet onion sauce. Sweet and tangy flavors just go really well together. The contrasting tastes create an explosion of flavor inside your mouth that no other item at Subway can do.
How to order this secret menu item: Order a Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Sub and then ask to have the red wine vinaigrette sauce added into it.
4. Tuna Melt
Sometimes, you just want a simple sandwich with a little twist. If you find yourself in this mood, then the Tuna Melt is the perfect secret menu item for you. I mean, Subway has everything needed for this classic sandwich. They got tuna. They got cheese. They got veggies. And they can toast it up for you. That’s pretty much all you need to know.
How to order this secret menu item: Order a sub with tuna salad and then ask to have cheese added. Provolone and Cheddar are good choices. Then ask them to heat it up until the cheese is melted.
3. Chicken Parmesan
This is a discontinued item that drove fans crazy when it was removed back in 2010. I mean a chicken parm is a classic sandwich that belongs in any sandwich shop’s menu. I guess Subway had their reasons so they had to take it off. But with a little customization, you can still have a Chicken Parmesan at Subway.
How to order this secret menu item: Order a sandwich with roast chicken, marinara sauce, parmesan cheese, black pepper, spinach, a handful of olives.
2. The Carnivore
Vegans, cover your eyes. This next menu item may be your worst nightmare. There’s a reason why this sandwich is called the Carnivore. That reason is because it is absolutely filled with tons of meat. You get three kinds of meat on this sandwich: beef, bacon and pepperoni. The amount depends on how you like it. You can have it as is or you can add some veggies and some cheese to make it taste even better.
How to order this secret menu item: Order a sandwich with 3 scoops of steak, 6 slices of bacon, and plenty of pepperonis. That’s the default order but you can customize it to your liking.
1. The Feast
Last but definitely not the least, we have the Feast. It’s actually the most extra sandwich that you can get at Subway. This is the menu item you order when you’re so hungry you feel like you can eat a horse. It basically combines all of the deli meat that Subway has to offer and adds other fillings like cheese and veggies. Like the Carnivore, the Feast truly lives up to its name.
How to order this secret menu item: Order a sandwich that includes roast beef, turkey and ham. Then ask to have pepperoni and salami added to double the meat. Then have them add other vegetables, sauces, and cheeses based on your preference.
