3. Popular Subway Sandwiches

3.1 Italian B.M.T.

The B.M.T. stands for Bigger, Meatier, Tastier, and it earns that name with a stack of Genoa salami, pepperoni, and ham. It has a salty, savory punch that most other sandwiches on the menu do not really try to match. I usually get mine on Italian bread with provolone, and I keep the vegetables simple, lettuce, onion, and a few banana peppers if the location has them, finished with a light oil and vinegar. Anyone who wants a proper deli-style sandwich rather than something mild should start here.

3.2 Meatball Marinara

This one is closer to comfort food than a typical cold sub. Meatballs sit in marinara sauce and melt into whatever cheese you pick, and it genuinely needs to be toasted, an untoasted meatball sub just does not work the same way. Provolone or a parmesan-style cheese are both good choices. I keep my toppings minimal here, maybe extra onions, since the sauce and meatballs already carry most of the flavor.

3.3 Steak and Cheese

If I am hungry enough that I actually want a full meal rather than a light lunch, this is usually what I order. Sliced steak with melted cheese, grilled onions, and green peppers, toasted until everything is warm and slightly crisp at the edges. A smoky chipotle sauce or a BBQ style sauce both work well here, and either one adds a bit more depth than plain mayo would.

3.4 Turkey Sandwich

Turkey is the sandwich I recommend to anyone who says they do not really know what to order yet. It is mild enough to pair with almost anything, and it takes on flavor from whatever sauce or vegetables you build around it. Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and a honey mustard sauce keep it fresh without being boring.

3.5 Tuna Sandwich

Subway’s tuna is a mayo-based salad, so it is creamier and richer than most of the other proteins on the menu. Because of that richness, I like pairing it with crunchy vegetables, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and pickles, rather than adding another creamy sauce on top of it.

3.6 Chicken Sandwiches

There is more than one chicken option here. Grilled or rotisserie-style chicken on its own is fairly lean and pairs well with almost any sauce, while Chicken Bacon Ranch leans heavier and richer thanks to the bacon and the ranch dressing built into the recipe. If I am deciding between the two, I usually go grilled chicken when I want something lighter and Bacon Ranch when I actually want a treat.

3.7 Veggie Delite

This is the lowest calorie option on the standard menu by a fair margin, since it is really just bread, cheese, and a full stack of vegetables. It can feel a little light on its own, so I usually add a veggie patty if the location offers one, or extra cheese, to make it more of a real meal rather than a side dish.

3.8 Spicy Italian

A spicier cousin of the B.M.T., built around salami and pepperoni with a bit more heat. Pepper Jack cheese, jalapenos, and a hot sauce push it further if that is what you are after. This is the one I point people toward when they say the regular Italian sub
