What is the Publix New Sub
The Publix New Sub is a fresh, customizable submarine sandwich available at Publix Deli counters and select prepared-food counters. It typically features sliced proteins such as Publix Premium Thin sliced Turkey or Roast Beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, and choice of cheese on a soft, seeded sub roll with vinaigrette and mustard. Designed as a made-to-order option, it balances protein, vegetables, and bread to fit a casual lunch or grab-and-go meal. This overview covers standard ingredients, nutrition, ordering steps, and how it compares with other Publix sub choices.
Standard ingredients and build-your-own options
The Publix New Sub is built on a soft seeded roll and a choice of deli proteins, commonly including:
- Sliced turkey (often Oven Roasted Turkey)
- Sliced roast beef (such as Publix Premium Thin Roast Beef)
- Ham or chicken options where available
- Choice of cheese (commonly Swiss, provolone, or American)
- Fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion
- Condiments such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and vinaigrette or oil-based dressing
- Optional extras like peppers, cucumbers, olives, and hot peppers
Because it is made to order, you can typically request protein substitutions, extra vegetables, or different bread and dressing choices at most Publix deli counters.

How the Publix New Sub compares to other Publix subs
The Publix New Sub is positioned as a made-to-order, fresh alternative to classic Publix subs such as the Turkey Sub or Ham Sub. While those may feature a single protein with similar toppings, the New Sub emphasizes customization and a balanced, fresh approach. Compared to hot-style subs or specialty signature subs, it generally focuses on lighter preparation with vinaigrette rather than heavy sauces or fried elements.
Ordering and preparation notes
At most Publix stores, you can order the New Sub at the deli counter or through digital ordering for in-store pickup. Common options include:
- Choice of protein and protein quantity
- Choice of cheese
- Add or omit vegetables
- Select dressing (vinaigrette, oil, or creamy options where available)
- Choice of roll type when available
Because servings are made to order, sodium and nutrition can vary based on protein portion and dressing amount. If you have dietary restrictions, ask the deli associate about ingredient disclosures and possible substitutions.
Availability and location tips
The Publix New Sub is typically available at deli counters in stores where a staffed deli operates. Hours and menu offerings vary by location, so it helps to check your local Publix store hours and menu online or via the Publix app before visiting. Some smaller markets may offer a limited selection of sub options.
Is the Publix New Sub a good value
Value depends on your priorities: protein choice, portion size, and customization. For a made-to-order deli sub with fresh ingredients and flexible options, the Publix New Sub can be a convenient, balanced choice. For specific calorie, sodium, or budget goals, ask for nutrition estimates at the counter or review local menu postings where available.
