Subway Menu: Full Prices, Best Subs & Deals (2026)

# Subway Menu: Full Prices, Best Subs & Deals (2026)

By Daniel Rozin | A Versus B | December 28, 2026

Subway is the largest restaurant chain in the world by number of locations, with over 20,000 US locations and approximately 37,000 worldwide. Founded in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1965, Subway built its model on one proposition: fresh, made-to-order submarine sandwiches with fresh-baked bread. The chain allows complete customization of every sandwich — protein, bread, cheese, vegetables, and sauce. A 6-inch Tuna sub costs $7.49, a Footlong Italian BMT is $12.49, and the $6.99 Footlong Series deal (via the Subway app) is the best value footlong in fast food. Here is the full Subway menu with 2026 prices.

Subway Menu Prices (2026)#

All sandwiches are available in 6-inch or Footlong (12-inch). Prices below are for Footlong unless noted.

The Subway Series (Signature Footlongs)#

Subway's curated lineup of pre-built signature sandwiches — no customization needed:

The #9 Italian B.M.T. (Genoa salami, Black Forest ham, and pepperoni) is the classic best-seller. The #3 The Monster (Black Forest ham, pepperoni, salami, roast beef, turkey, and bacon) is the most loaded option at $13.99.

Bread Options#

Subway's daily-baked bread is the foundation of the experience:

• Italian — the classic white bread option; soft, mild
• 9-Grain Wheat — nutty, slightly chewy; the most popular healthier option
• Hearty Multigrain — denser texture, more filling
• Italian Herbs & Cheese — topped with Parmesan, oregano, and sesame; the most flavorful
• Flatbread — thinner, fewer calories than standard bread
• Wrap — flour tortilla option

Italian Herbs & Cheese bread is the highest-rated bread on Subway's menu — the Parmesan crust adds a savory complexity that elevates the sub. Always a worthwhile upgrade.

Subway Bread, Toppings & Sauce Guide#

Free vegetables included with every sub: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, cucumbers, pickles, olives, jalapeños, banana peppers, spinach, and avocado (at locations with avocado).

Sauces: Yellow mustard, ranch, chipotle southwest, sweet onion, Subway vinaigrette, mayo, light mayo, olive oil blend, red wine vinegar, honey mustard, Parmesan vinaigrette, and Sriracha.

Cheese: American, Swiss, provolone, pepper jack, cheddar, Monterey cheddar, and mozzarella.

Toasting: Any sub can be toasted in Subway's bread oven. The Meatball Marinara is always better toasted — it melts the cheese and crisps the bread. The Steak & Cheese and Chicken Bacon Ranch also benefit significantly from toasting.

Best Items at Subway#

1. Italian B.M.T. on Italian Herbs & Cheese (Footlong) — $12.49. The enduring classic. Genoa salami, Black Forest ham, and pepperoni on the best bread Subway offers. Add provolone, banana peppers, oil and vinegar, and all the vegetables. Toast it. This is the foundational Subway order.

2. Chicken & Bacon Ranch Melt (Footlong) — $12.99. Rotisserie chicken, bacon, and ranch dressing with pepperjack cheese. One of the most satisfying hot subs. The chicken at Subway is one of the better-quality proteins — rotisserie style, genuinely tender.

3. Meatball Marinara (Footlong) — $11.49. Italian meatballs in marinara sauce, always toasted with provolone. The most affordable protein-rich Footlong on the menu. A comfort food staple.

4. The Philly (#1) (Footlong) — $12.99. Steak, peppers, onions, and provolone. Subway's best hot sub from the Series lineup. The Philly is griddled and layered — closer to an actual cheesesteak than most fast food versions.

5. Veggie Delite on 9-Grain Wheat — $9.99. Every vegetable Subway offers on the best healthier bread. Under 400 calories for a Footlong if you use vinegar and mustard instead of mayo. The most calorie-efficient filling lunch in fast food.

Is Subway Worth It in 2026?#

Subway without the app deals is fair value at $12–$13 for a footlong — comparable to Jersey Mike's but with lower ingredient quality. With the app deals at $6.99/footlong, Subway becomes the best sandwich value in the US — a full 12-inch sub with vegetables for under $7 is unmatched. The key insight: never pay full Subway prices. Always check the app first. The Italian Herbs & Cheese bread and Italian B.M.T. combination is the gold standard; the Meatball Marinara is the most filling budget option. Download the app, use the weekly $6.99 deals, and Subway becomes one of the best-value food chains in America.
