Meaty Italian-Inspired QSR Sandwiches

The Subway Italian Sandwiches Come in Three Varieties

— March 8, 2022 — Lifestyle
These new Subway Italian sandwiches are being launched by the QSR brand in partnership with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as a lineup of options for curious patrons to pick up when craving a meat-heavy indulgence.

The sandwiches are arriving as part of the brand's The Vault, which can only be accessed via Subway.com or the Subway app to help drive traffic to its digital presences. The sandwiches come in the form of the Mozza Meat, the Supreme Meats and the Benissimo, of which the latter was created by Garoppolo himself.

The Subway Italian sandwiches come as part of the brand's continued shift towards premium ingredients, sauces, recipes and more. This could help to draw in a more mature consumer base seeking out elevated menu items to pick up.
