In July 2022, Subway fundamentally transformed its national menu by dividing sandwiches into two distinct categories:Classic Subs (Build Your Own) and the Subway Series (Chef-Curated Builds). Here is how they compare.
| Comparison Factor | Subway Classic Subs (The Originals) | Subway Series (Numbered Builds) |
|---|---|---|
| Ordering Style | 100% Build-Your-Own: You choose every single ingredient step-by-step with the Sandwich Artist. | Pre-set Chef Recipes: Ordered by sandwich number and name (e.g., #1 The Beast, #7 MexiCali). |
| Standard Cheese Portion | Standard single cheese portion (2 slices on 6-inch / 4 slices on Footlong). | Double cheese portion included automatically (4 slices on 6-inch / 8 slices on Footlong). |
| Average Benchmark Price | Economical: 6-Inch ($5.49 – $8.29) | Footlong ($8.49 – $12.79). | Premium: 6-Inch ($7.99 – $9.49) | Footlong ($12.49 – $14.99). (~$1.50 to $2.00 more). |
| Ingredient Customization | Total freedom: Swap, add, or skip any vegetable, sauce, or seasoning with zero friction. | Designed to be enjoyed as-is, though minor substitutions can be requested at counter. |
| Protein Formulations | Heritage single-protein builds (e.g. Tuna, Roast Turkey, Meatball Marinara, Black Forest Ham). | Multi-meat stacked combinations (e.g. #1 The Beast features pepperoni, salami, turkey, ham, and roast beef). |
Want the double cheese richness and gourmet taste of a Subway Series sub without paying the $14+ Footlong Series price tag? Order your favorite Classic Sub (such as the Italian B.M.T. or Turkey Breast), ask for Double Cheese (adds only ~$0.80), toast it with onions and green peppers, and finish it with Subway's signature MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette or Baja Chipotle. You get the exact same premium flavor profile while saving $1.20 to $1.80 on every order!
The magic of Subway Classic Subs is 100% build-your-own freedom. Follow this expert ordering sequence to craft the ultimate sandwich with balanced textures, rich flavors, and ideal nutrition.
Choose between 6-Inch (single meal) or Footlong (best value). Options include classic Artisan Italian (White), Hearty Multigrain (Wheat), Italian Herbs & Cheese, Jalapeño Cheddar, or warm Artisan Flatbread.
Choose your classic favorite (Italian B.M.T., Tuna, Meatball Marinara, Turkey, Steak). Want maximum gains? Request Double Meat (adds +$3.00 and roughly 20g to 26g of protein).
Select your cheese: American (creamiest melt), Provolone (mild & savory), Monterey Cheddar (sharp shredded blend), or Pepper Jack (spicy kick). Request to toast together so cheese melts directly onto meats.
Layer crisp vegetables to maintain structural integrity and crunch: start with spinach and shredded lettuce, follow with tomatoes and cucumbers, and top with crunchy pickles, banana peppers, or black olives.
Finish with signature dressings: Baja Chipotle (smoky kick), MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette (herbaceous Italian tang), Sweet Onion Teriyaki, Peppercorn Ranch, or classic Olive Oil & Red Wine Vinegar.
Common questions about Subway Classic subs, build-your-own customization, difference from Subway Series, cheapest menu options, meats in Italian B.M.T., Cold Cut Combo ingredients, and calorie counts.
Subway Classic Subs are the heritage, build-your-own sandwiches that have defined Subway's menu for decades. Unlike the pre-set Subway Series, Classic Subs include all-time fan favorites such as the Italian B.M.T.®, Meatball Marinara, Tuna, Cold Cut Combo, Spicy Italian, Black Forest Ham, Oven-Roasted Turkey Breast, Steak & Cheese, Roast Beef, BLT, Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki, Rotisserie-Style Chicken, Grilled Chicken, and the Veggie Delite®.
Yes, absolutely. Despite Subway's introduction of the chef-curated Subway Series menu, all Subway restaurants continue to offer the full Build Your Own (Classic) experience. You select your bread (or flatbread), choose your primary protein portion, pick your cheese, decide whether to toast it, and instruct the Sandwich Artist on every single vegetable and sauce to create your customized meal.
The primary difference lies in formulation and pricing. Subway Series sandwiches (numbered #1 to #44) are chef-crafted recipes with fixed ingredient combinations that automatically include double cheese and specific sauce pairings, priced approximately $1.00 to $2.00 higher. Classic Subs are traditional single-cheese builds where you have total freedom to customize toppings and sauces from scratch at a more economical price point.
In 2026, the lowest-priced sandwich on Subway's national menu is the Veggie Delite®, starting at benchmark prices of $5.49 for a 6-Inch and $8.49 for a Footlong. Among meat-based sandwiches, the Cold Cut Combo ($5.99 for 6-Inch / $8.99 for Footlong) and Black Forest Ham ($6.29 for 6-Inch / $9.49 for Footlong) are consistently the most affordable value options.
The Italian B.M.T.® contains three distinct meats: Genoa salami, spicy pepperoni, and sliced Black Forest ham. The Spicy Italian features a double portion of only two meats: spicy pepperoni and Genoa salami. Both subs are traditionally topped with provolone or pepper jack cheese, oil & vinegar, and Italian seasonings.
Subway's Cold Cut Combo meats are made entirely from turkey-based deli meats seasoned to replicate traditional pork charcuterie. Specifically, it consists of turkey-based ham, turkey-based salami, and turkey-based bologna. This makes the Cold Cut Combo leaner and a long-time staple of Subway's value menu.
Among the Classic Sub lineup, the Footlong Steak & Cheese packs the highest protein at 52 grams, followed closely by the Footlong Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki (50 grams), Footlong Roast Beef (50 grams), and Footlong Rotisserie-Style Chicken (50 grams). For an extra $3.00, ordering 'Double Meat' adds another 23g to 26g of protein.
The 6-inch Veggie Delite® is the lowest-calorie option at just 200 calories and 2 grams of fat (without cheese). For meat eaters, the 6-inch Oven-Roasted Turkey Breast and 6-inch Black Forest Ham are the leanest choices, each containing just 260 calories and under 5 grams of fat on 9-grain multigrain bread.
