What Is the Jimmy John’s Veggie Sandwich?

Prices usually range from $7.49 to $10.99, depending on size and location. It is filling but higher in calories due to cheese and mayo.

- Provolone cheese
- Soft, fresh-baked bread
Unlike many fast-food veggie sandwiches, this one is not dry or bland.

- The Order: Ask for a #6 Veggie, No Cheese, No Mayo.
- The Add-On: Add Oil & Vinegar and Extra Oregano-Basil.
- The Result: A 100% vegan sub on our French bread (which is vegan-certified) that stays creamy thanks to the avocado spread.
Customization: The “BLAHS” Trend (2026)
One of the most viral hacks of early 2026 is the “BLAHS” sandwich. If you aren’t strictly vegetarian but love the Veggie base, here is how you order it:
- Bacon
- Lettuce
- Avocado (from the #6)
- Hot Peppers (Jimmy Peppers®)
- Salami
- To order: Start with a #6, add Bacon and Salami. It’s the ultimate savory-spicy hybrid.
