The Subway Ciabatta Collection has been announced by the QSR sandwich brand as a new Italian-inspired lineup of menu items that will satisfy consumers with premium ingredients and flavor.
The menu consists of four new sandwiches including the Chicken Pesto Ciabatta, Italian Ciabatta, Caprese Ciabatta and the Garlic Steak & Provolone Ciabatta. Each of the sandwiches are made with an array of new sauces and cheeses, which help to elevate the flavor experience without breaking the bank.
The Subway Ciabatta Collection comes as a response to the consumer demand for artisan-inspired food varieties that are easily accessible and competitively priced. Customers who want to try a different sandwich with the new ciabatta bread can do so for an additional 50 cent charge.
