All 14 numbered cold subs, in the order most people actually order them, not alphabetical. Every one can be made Mini, Regular, or Giant, and every one can go Mike's Way at no extra charge.
Quick answer: Most popular, Original Italian (#13). Lightest, Turkey and Provolone (#7). Only vegetarian option, The Veggie (#14). For a side-by-side on portions and price, see our Regular vs Giant comparison.
A quick note before the list: Jersey Mike's numbers its subs by the order they were added to the menu, not by popularity, which is why the Original Italian is #13, not #1. We've kept the official numbers below so they match what you'll see on the in-store menu board, but sorted the cards by how often each one comes up in online reviews and social mentions, last checked August 2026. If you've heard talk of hidden or unlisted orders, that's covered on our secret menu page, though most of it comes down to the same free customization described here.
13
Provolone, ham, prosciuttini, cappacuolo, salami, and pepperoni
The default order for first-timers, and for good reason, it's the one that put the chain on the map back in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, where the original shop opened in 1956.
8
Turkey, ham, provolone, applewood smoked bacon and mayo
The safe pick if you're ordering for someone who doesn't like a strong, vinegar-forward sub, the mayo mellows it out.
7
Provolone and turkey
The lightest option on the list by ingredient count, good if you want the fresh-sliced quality without a heavy sub.
2
Provolone, ham and cappacuolo
A stripped-down version of the Original Italian, same Jersey deli flavor, minus the salami and pepperoni.
3
Provolone and ham
About as simple as the menu gets, a solid pick for kids or picky eaters who just want ham and cheese.
14
Swiss, provolone, and green bell peppers
The only fully vegetarian cold sub on the list. Extra veggies are usually free if you ask, it just varies by store how generous they are with it.
5
Provolone, ham, prosciuttini and cappacuolo
Think of it as the middle ground on the menu, heavier than a basic Ham and Provolone, milder than the Original Italian.
6
All natural oven roasted top round
Roasted in-house rather than pre-packaged, noticeably different texture from a standard deli roast beef sub.
10
Freshly made on premises
Mixed fresh in-store rather than pre-packaged, texture and seasoning can vary slightly location to location because of that.
N/A
Roasted chicken breast, mayonnaise, celery, black pepper
Not every location carries this one year-round, some run it as a rotating or seasonal item, so it's a good one to double-check on your local store's board.
1
Bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo
Sub #1 on the official numbering, and the only cold sub with no deli meat or cheese at all.
4
Provolone, prosciuttini and cappacuolo
This one leaves out the ham you'll find in most of the other combos. What's left, prosciuttini and cappacuolo, carries a sharper, more cured flavor on its own.
11
Provolone, ham and salami
Named after the street game popular in Jersey Mike's original hometown, provolone, ham, and salami is a solid pick if you want deli flavor without overthinking it.
12
All natural oven roasted top round and provolone, with a layer of pepperoni
Named after Peter Cancro, who bought the original sub shop as a 17-year-old in 1975 and later grew it into the Jersey Mike's franchise. Roast beef and pepperoni together isn't a combination you'll see on most other menus.
9
Roast beef, turkey, swiss, applewood smoked bacon and mayo
The biggest combination of meats on the cold sub menu, closer to a deli sampler than a single-flavor sub.
The Veggie (#14) and Turkey and Provolone (#7) are the lightest picks on the cold sub side, both skip the cured, higher-sodium meats like salami and cappacuolo. Ordering any sub "in a tub" (over lettuce, no bread) cuts calories further if that's the goal.
A quick way to narrow it down if you've never been. Whatever you land on, pairing it with a side from the sides menu and something from the drinks menu rounds out the order.
