Pizza at Subway
I was in Bristol a week ago where Subway were advertising that you could turn your sub into a pizza for just a pound more.
Sadly I didn't try one (I chose Dominos disappointing Meltdown the Revenge instead ) and they haven't introduced this to London branches yet.Has anyone tried one of these? How big are they, how long does it take to cook and more importantly,what do they taste like? If/when they do have this in London, I might ask for a Veggie Delight pizza just to confuse them! ![]() (Yawn-worthy comments such as 'Subway smells vile' and 'you can make fresh pizza at home' can vacate to another thread! )

I have never heard of this before. I am not a fan of subway myself but I am curious what do they do to change a subway sandwich into a pizza? Does it basically mean adding more cheese and melting over the rest of the sandwich filling?
I am not convinced obviously it will be some kind of french bread pizza but I am not sure if it will be a pizza or more of a "melt" |

Subway are clutching at straws now.
Greggs are wiping the floor with them in this country; I don't know if there's an equivalent in the US. Never tried one but no way a "Subway Pizza" will be hot if the store is quiet. "Sandwich Artist" will heat it for as long as they can be arsed rather than as long as it's supposed to be. |

Taken from Wikipedia...
'Subway also offers items other than sandwiches; breakfast items include such baked goods as bagels, egg & sausage sandwiches, and as of July and August 2006, "personal pizzas" are available in select markets to their menu. The personal pizzas are made upon order (as with their sandwiches) and heated "in less than 90 seconds" (cooking for 85 seconds) as advertised on televised commercials. Breakfast and pizza items are only available in some stores. Most stores offer additional toppings upon request.' US ad... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxvUDCmip6k I want a Steak 'n' cheese pizza NOW!!!

![]() Or 8.5 seconds if the Subway is quiet and you and the Sandwich Artist have run out of small-talk. It's not that I have a beef with Subway's not microwaving or toasting stuff for as long as it's supposed to be it's just that I have a beef with Subway's not microwaving or toasting stuff for as long as it's supposed to be. |

The Wikipedia article is correct, these have been around for a while in some American stores. I think they've been trialed in a few UK stores over the last couple of years.
I haven't seen or tried one myself, so can't really comment on what the ones you've seen are like. To the best of my knowledge though, they are the same as the ones served at some stores in America. They're a 7", round pizza and take about a minute and a half in the toaster. Personally I can't imagine them being all that great, but they're probably a decent option if you fancy something different. |

Now I am more convinced it could work although I probably won't be trying it out myself as I tend not to eat there. |

I cannot think of anything more hideous. Even from a pizzaria, a pizza is a festival of saturated fat and empty carbs, from a fast food "restaurant" however, it will be a hideous concoction that could be potentially damaging to your health.
Avoid at all costs and make your own! Not only is it cheaper, but it's easier and more tasty! I love to try and cook my own food but what you said is somewhat wrong. And to say making it yourself is easier is plain silly. |

How is asking someone for a Pepperoni pizza and then handing over a bit of cash harder than making your own pizza???

Did I ask anything about health? I was talking about the ease of it since you think making a pizza from scratch is easier - somehow I am getting the impression you have never made anything from scratch, you probably live off food you bang in the oven from the freezer and I don't even think you are healthy either.

Handling cash and eating pizza? No thanks, that's one way to add even more bacteria to the salt and fat you're pumping into your body.
Wow, you're hilarious. You should become a comedian. :sleep: |

![]() Aah, I guess you have a handy debit card. But how do you pay parking without handling cash?

Are there a load of posts missing from this thread? It doesn't make sense.
Has Mantey gone on another enforced holiday or something? |

Garbage, I always have my sub toasted and its never stopped before its time and is always as warm / hot as needed.
TBH though it's more the products that require microwaving where there is a longer awkward silence - the standard toasting is only about 20 seconds and is more likely to be allowed to run for time - but honestly, bear it in mind and you will frequently see the toaster stopped with 2-3 seconds to go. |

Well you either only ever go to Subway when it's busy; or you do smalltalk.

Your store has the wrong toaster settings, or the toaster is not functioning correctly. 2) I have never seen anyone take products out of the toaster early, in the store I run or in any store I've been to as a customer. 3) Perhaps you're too boring to make smalltalk with? Either complain to the manager at the store that so frequently serves you cold food, or shut the **** up. |

I had a steak and cheese sub (my only experience of subway) and the steak meat was in a little white pot thing with some kind of sauce. They microwaved the steak meat w/sauce I stood and watched them do it so I don't know if this is standard practice but my experience was that they did this and I didn't find the sandwich at all appealing. As I said I have not been to a subway since so if they don't do this now then fair enough but they did microwave that steak meat much to my dismay. |

The Steak shouldn't be in any kind of sauce , it's just shaved steak strips with peppers and onions. It needs to be heated, but the correct procedure would be for the steak to be placed on the bread and then the whole Sub placed in the toaster. There shouldn't be any need for it to be microwaved aswell as toasted and it certainly shouldn't be microwaved instead of being toasted, unless specifically requested.

Subway makes me nervous. Too many choices, too much pressure to choose complimentary ingredients, I can't deal with it
I always seem to be in front of a couple of superior 12 year olds going 'ah man, she's never putting mustard with that'.
