Subway adds freshly grilled paninis to its menu

Subway has called “game-over” on drab lunch leftovers, with a sensational new range of hot, grilled paninis that are pressed-to-impress, and sure to “Win at Lunch” in any workplace.

The new crispy and cheesy range is the next phase in Subway’s menu evolution and features four signature panini flavours, perfect for lunch or dinner, as well as four breakfast paninis to help kick-start the day.

“As the weather cools down, lunchrooms are filled with hungry Kiwis searching for something more exciting than their dreary reheated leftovers. Our grilled paninis, oozing with cheese and hot fillings will ‘Win at Lunch’ in any workplace,” said Subway’s Senior Manager of Brand Marketing, Ben Miles.

“Put an end to food-envy and bite into one of our crispy, cheesy paninis. Each individually-crafted panini is topped with toasty tomato, onion, spinach and capsicum, and crowned with a layer of smoky mozzarella, before being toasted until the oozy cheese drips from the crispy ciabatta bread.”

Subway’s panini range features a delectable new flavour, Mediterranean Veg, as well as menu favourites Buffalo Chicken, Chicken & Bacon Ranch and Pizza Melt. To help our guests rise and shine, breakfast paninis include
Ham, Egg & Cheese Melt and Steak, Egg & Cheese.

The brand’s menu evolution started with an overhaul of the core menu in January. Subway now continues to challenge with a fresh take on the classic sandwich with its grilled paninis, as well as crunchy new salads, delicious wraps and more.

Mr Miles said Subway’s fresh menu gave guests the chance to indulge in premium-quality café and deli style ingredients such as crispy ciabatta, sundried tomatoes, crumbled feta, carved meats and tasty new sauces – as well as nutritious, fresh and healthy New Zealand salads.

“With more than 20 ingredients recently added to the menu, food-lovers are spoilt for choice when creating their masterpiece. Smashed falafel, carved turkey, smoked leg ham or tender chicken breast create the perfect base and can be complemented by our tasty natural cheddar and mozzarella cheeses,” he said.

“Top off the perfect meal with our hot, sweet or tangy sauces – try the habanero hot sauce, blue cheese dressing, pesto mayo, smoky BBQ sauce, tzatziki, seeded mustard, cranberry relish or smoky tomato chutney for an instant injection of flavour.”

Paninis are now in all Subway restaurants and are available for delivery with Uber Eats. For more information about Subway’s menu, including nutrition information, visit www.subway.co.nz and www.subwayisfresh.co.nz.
