10 Subway Sandwich Combos That Are Surprisingly Delicious

Think you’ve tried every possible Subway sandwich combination? A few smart additions can completely change the flavor of a familiar sub. From creamy avocado and spicy sauces to tangy peppers and garlicky aioli, these easy customizations turn classic Subway sandwiches into something a little more exciting. We’ve also updated the combinations to reflect ingredients and sauces currently available on Subway’s U.S. menu, although selections can vary by restaurant.

Chicken Bacon Ranch + Sweet Onion Sauce

Chicken, bacon, Monterey cheddar and Peppercorn Ranch already give this sandwich plenty of creamy, savory flavor. Adding a little Sweet Onion Teriyaki brings a sweet, tangy contrast that keeps the rich ingredients from feeling too heavy. The sauce also complements the smoky bacon and tender rotisserie-style chicken surprisingly well. For the best balance, go light on the extra sauce.

Steak Philly + Baja Chipotle

Subway currently lists Steak Philly among its menu options, making it a good starting point for a smoky, spicy combination. Add Baja Chipotle for a creamy sauce with a peppery kick that pairs naturally with the savory steak. Provolone is another good choice if you want extra cheesiness without overwhelming the sauce. Add green peppers and onions for even more of a classic steak-and-peppers flavor.

Oven-Roasted Turkey + Pepper Jack + Smashed Avocado

This combination gives mild turkey a creamy, spicy and fresh upgrade. Pepper Jack adds a gentle heat, while Subway’s Smashed Avocado provides richness and a smooth texture. Lettuce, tomatoes and banana peppers can add freshness and acidity to balance the avocado. It’s a satisfying option when you want something substantial without the heavier flavors of an Italian-style sub.

Meatball + Jalapeños + Extra Parmesan

Subway’s current Meatball sandwich comes with meatballs, marinara, provolone and Parmesan on Artisan Italian bread. Adding jalapeños gives the rich, saucy sandwich a bright burst of heat and crunch. Extra Parmesan intensifies the savory, cheesy flavor without requiring another sauce. If you like spicy Italian-inspired flavors, this is one of the easiest customizations to try.

Italian B.M.T. + Banana Peppers + Honey Mustard

The current B.M.T. combines spicy pepperoni, Genoa salami, ham and provolone with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and mayonnaise. Banana peppers add a tangy bite that cuts through the richness of the cured meats. A drizzle of Honey Mustard then adds sweetness and acidity for a more balanced flavor. The result is salty, tangy, sweet and spicy in every bite.

Veggie Delite + Smashed Avocado + Oil

The Veggie Delite makes a fresh base for a meat-free combination, with plenty of room for customization. Instead of the hummus listed in the original version, try Subway’s currently available Smashed Avocado for creamy texture and a richer flavor. A small drizzle of oil adds another layer of richness without overpowering the vegetables. Add spinach, banana peppers or jalapeños if you want more color, tang or heat.

Rotisserie-Style Chicken + Spinach + Buffalo Sauce

Rotisserie-style chicken and Buffalo Sauce make a simple but reliable pairing for anyone who likes a little heat. Subway currently lists Buffalo Sauce among its available sauces, along with spinach and other fresh vegetables. Spinach adds a mild, fresh element that balances the tangy sauce and savory chicken. For extra crunch, add pickles or banana peppers.

Tuna + Pickles + Creamy Sriracha Mayo

Tuna has a rich, creamy texture that works particularly well with something crisp and acidic. Pickles provide that sharp crunch, while Subway’s Creamy Sriracha adds chili heat without the need for a separate sriracha-mayo sauce. Creamy Sriracha is currently listed among Subway’s available sauces. Add lettuce and tomatoes for a fresher finish, or keep the combination simple if you prefer the tuna and spicy sauce to stand out.

Black Forest Ham + Provolone + Sweet Onion Teriyaki

Black Forest Ham and provolone are already a classic Subway pairing, with the current sandwich traditionally served with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and mayonnaise. Swapping in Sweet Onion Teriyaki creates a sweet-and-savory contrast that works especially well with the salty ham. The sauce adds moisture and flavor without requiring a heavy combination of toppings. Add banana peppers for a little tangy bite that keeps the sandwich lively.

Roast Beef + Provolone + Roasted Garlic Aioli

Subway’s current Roast Beef sandwich pairs roast beef with provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and mayonnaise. For a richer, more savory variation, replace the mayonnaise with Roasted Garlic Aioli, which is currently listed among Subway’s sauces. The garlic-forward sauce complements the beef and cheese while giving the sandwich a steakhouse-inspired feel. Add spinach and onions for extra freshness and texture.
