Jimmy John's has launched two new pizza-inspired toasted sandwiches across the UK, expanding its toasted sandwich range introduced earlier this year. The new offerings cater to both vegetarian and meat lovers, featuring marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese.
The Toasted Three Cheese Pizza Sandwich includes mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan cheese, along with marinara sauce and oregano-basil seasoning. It marks the first vegetarian option on the toasted sandwich menu.
For meat enthusiasts, the Toasted Sicilian Pizza Sandwich combines salami, capocollo, and ham with mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, and a sprinkle of oregano-basil. Both sandwiches are served on Jimmy John's toasted French bread.
“Who says you have to pick between pizza and a toasted sandwich?” said Kate Carpenter, Vice President of Marketing at Jimmy John’s, in a press release. “Jimmy John’s Toasted Pizza Sandwiches give our fans the best of both worlds—our perfectly toasted French bread, zesty marinara sauce, premium toppings, and of course, a melty mozzarella cheese pull.”
The sandwiches launched on Monday and are available for a limited time at participating locations across the country. Competitors such as Jersey Mike's and Firehouse Subs offer similar toasted sandwiches, with Firehouse Subs featuring a Pepperoni Pizza Meatball Sub.
Social media reactions included suggestions for a meatball sub and questions about the absence of pepperoni in the pizza-inspired options.
