Potbelly Menu 2026
Every Sandwich, Soup, Shake, and Deal in One Place
Looking for the full Potbelly menu with prices? You've landed on the right page. This guide covers every sandwich, wrap, salad, soup, mac, shake, cookie, side, drink, kids meal, and combo on the Potbelly Sandwich Works board for 2026, plus current BOGO deals, the free PDF download, nutrition quick links, and the location finder.
What Makes Potbelly Different From Subway and Jimmy John's
Plenty of sandwich chains exist. Potbelly stands apart for three reasons.
Toasted By Default
Every sandwich runs through a warming oven before it hits the counter. The cheese melts, the bread crisps on the outside, and the middle stays soft. Subway toasts on request. Jimmy John's doesn't toast at all. Potbelly toasts by default, and that's the whole identity.
In-Shop Baked Bread
Potbelly bakes its multigrain wheat and white loaves in-shop. The multigrain has a nutty, sturdy chew that holds up to wet fillings like meatballs and BBQ pork. Jimmy John's French bread is softer and shorter. Subway's Italian herb loaf sits somewhere in the middle. Potbelly wins on bread texture for most buyers.
Desserts That Rival the Sandwich
Potbelly throws in hand-dipped shakes, freshly baked cookies, and the Dream Bar, a caramel-oatmeal cookie bar that fans order by the dozen. Neither Subway nor Jimmy John's does dessert at this level.
Pricing sits a dollar or two above Subway and about even with Jimmy John's for comparable sizes. You're paying a little more for the toaster, the bread, and the cookies.
Potbelly is an American sandwich shop that got started in a 1977 Chicago antique store, where the owner sold toasted subs to draw customers in. The subs took over, the antiques went out, and the chain now runs more than 400 shops across the United States. If you're new to Potbelly, think toasted sandwiches on fresh-baked multigrain bread, hand-dipped shakes, warm cookies, and soups that rotate with the season.
Prices below reflect national averages updated April 2026. Your local shop may price things a bit differently. Quick note on pricing: Potbelly shops are franchised or company-operated across every region, so expect a $0.50 to $1.50 swing on most items depending on the city. Airport and mall shops usually sit at the higher end. Downtown stores in New York, Chicago, and DC run slightly above the national average too.
Potbelly Sandwich Sizes: Skinny, Original, and Big
Every Potbelly sandwich comes in three sizes. Picking the right one saves you money or calories depending on your day.
The Skinny is Potbelly's lightest option. It's built on thin-cut bread with about 25% less meat and cheese than the Original, and every Skinny sandwich clocks in under 400 calories. Great if you're watching calories or want room for a cookie and soup on the side.
The Original is the signature Potbelly size and the one pictured on most of the menu boards. Full bread, full portions of meat and cheese, toasted and warm. This is what most people order and what reviewers review.
The Big is the hungry-day choice. It packs roughly 40% more meat and cheese than the Original on a longer loaf. Expect calorie counts in the 800 to 1,100 range depending on the sandwich. Best for split orders, growing teens, or people who skipped breakfast.

Bread Choices and Build-Your-Own Guide
Every Potbelly sandwich starts with a bread choice. Here's what's on the rack.
🍞 Bread Options
- Multigrain Wheat (default): Nutty, sturdy, holds wet fillings well
- Thin-Cut Wheat: Used on Skinny sandwiches and Pick Your Pair halves
- White Italian: Softer, lighter, the classic white sub roll
- Flatbread: Thinner press, lower calorie
- Potbelly Gluten-Free Menu: Available at most shops, prepared in a shared kitchen
- Lettuce Wrap: No-bread option, cuts about 200 calories off any sandwich
🧀 Premium Add-Ons
- Fresh avocado: $1.99
- Extra cheese: $0.99
- Bacon: $1.49
- Extra meat: $1.49
- Double meat: $2.59
Free Toppings: Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, hot peppers, giardiniera, mustard, mayo, oil, vinegar, Italian seasoning
How the Toasting Works: Every sandwich rides a conveyor oven for roughly 50 seconds. The cheese melts, the edges of the bread crisp, and the filling warms through without cooking it. If you don't want yours toasted, say so at the counter. Potbelly will build it cold.

How to Order at Potbelly (In-Store, App, Delivery, Catering)
Five ways to get a Potbelly sandwich in your hands. Here's how each one works.

Third-Party Delivery
Potbelly partners with DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. Third-party menus usually run 10% to 15% higher than in-shop prices to cover the platform fees. The Potbelly app offers native delivery through DoorDash at the standard in-shop price point. See our Potbelly delivery guide for a fee-by-platform breakdown.

Does Potbelly have vegan options?
Partially. The Mediterranean sandwich goes vegan if you drop the feta, and most salads can be built vegan by removing cheese and picking oil and vinegar or balsamic vinaigrette. Garden Vegetable soup is the most reliable vegan soup on the rotation. Details on our Potbelly Vegan Options page.

Is Potbelly cheaper than Subway or Jimmy John's?
Subway runs roughly $1 to $2 cheaper per sandwich. Jimmy John's sits at about the same price point as Potbelly Original size.

What time does Potbelly open?

Yes. Order native delivery through the Potbelly app (powered by DoorDash, in-shop pricing) or through DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub directly (expect a 10 to 15% price markup plus delivery and service fees). Catering orders $150+ get free delivery with promo code FREEDELIVERY.
What's the 8-minute rule at Potbelly?
Potbelly has an internal goal of getting every in-shop order from counter to hand in 8 minutes or less. Staff push hard to hit that window even at peak lunch. It's why Potbelly lines move faster than most toasted-sandwich chains.
What's the most popular sandwich at Potbelly?
A Wreck is the number-one seller. It stacks Angus roast beef, turkey, ham, salami, and Swiss on toasted multigrain. The Italian sits close behind, and the Mediterranean leads the vegetarian picks.
Does Potbelly have a secret menu?
Yes. Potbelly calls it the Underground Menu, and you can access the current list through the Perks app. Fan favorites include the Chicken Avocado Twist (grilled chicken, avocado, provolone, chipotle lime sauce) and several off-board build combinations. Full list on our Potbelly secret menu page.
What cookies does Potbelly sell?
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip, Sugar, Chocolate Brownie, and the Dream Bar (a caramel-chocolate oatmeal bar). Cookies are $1.75 each or $11.99 for a 6-pack. See the full cookies menu.

Can I order a Potbelly sandwich as a wrap?
Yes. Any sandwich on the menu can be made as a wrap for a $0.50 upcharge. The tortilla holds heat well and travels better than toasted bread on delivery orders. Potbelly recommends keeping toppings to three or fewer on wraps for a cleaner roll.
