"Subway's 5-Meat Italian sub just didn't cut it, primarily due to the presence of one ingredient that dominated the rest of the sandwich: roast beef. It's marketed as a 5-meat sub, but the roast beef's flavor and texture - along with the turkey and ham - completely overpower the cured meats, which are typically at the center of a traditional Italian sub."
"We ranked this Italian sub last for more reasons than one. In addition to the out-of-place, overwhelming roast beef, the sandwich itself was a bit dry, despite featuring both mayonnaise and the MVP vinaigrette. The provolone cheese, an Italian sub staple, was pretty bland, adding nothing to the already-unimpressive sandwich, and we found the veggies - lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion - to be oddly layered and chopped up too small for our liking."
Subway's 5‑Meat Italian sub is dominated by roast beef, whose flavor and texture overwhelm the cured meats traditionally central to an Italian sub. The inclusion of turkey and ham does not offset the roast beef's dominance. The sandwich is described as somewhat dry despite mayonnaise and an MVP vinaigrette. Provolone cheese proved bland and failed to add flavor. Vegetables — lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion — were oddly layered and chopped too small, reducing textural appeal. The overall result is an unbalanced, disappointing sandwich compared unfavorably to rivals like Panera Bread's Toasted Italiano.
