If you want to sink your teeth into a true taste of Thanksgiving, get your hands on The Gobbler. This premium sandwich from Wawa has everything that you could ever want on one hoagie, including tender turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and plenty of gravy. Even though this Wawa sandwich is seasonal, it’s one of Wawa’s most popular items. In some locations, you can add additional goodies to your sandwich, including mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes. You can forgo the hoagie, opting instead to get the contents served up in a big bowl. This seasonal treat is easily one of my favorite sandwiches at Wawa, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you really don’t know what you are missing.


Classic Italian Hoagie

The Classic Italian Hoagie is one of the best Wawa sandwiches around, combining traditional flavors and delectable ingredients together in one stellar sandwich. Expect bread piled high with some generous cold cuts, like hot ham, traditional ham, and salami. Top off your sandwich with tomato, fresh cheese, lettuce, and a little onion. The Classic Italian Hoagie usually comes with provolone cheese, but you can request a different type if you want. I love slathering my Classic Italian Hoagie with plenty of oil and vinegar for an authentic old-world taste that’s comforting food at its absolute finest. 


Turkey Club

Wawa’s Turkey Club is an excellent example of how delicious a classic sandwich can be when you use premium ingredients and add on a little bit of specialty sauce. Although you can get it with virtually any topping, I prefer to get my Turkey Club topped with some chipotle mayo for just the right amount of spice and creaminess.  Thinly sliced turkey pairs beautifully with smoky applewood bacon, American cheese, fresh tomato, and lettuce. It’s a balanced sandwich that’s great enjoyed on the spot. However, if you want to save it for later, I suggest that you keep the chipotle mayo on the side until you’re ready to eat. That way, the bread stays dry, and the bacon is crisp.

Cheesesteak

The best Cheesesteaks are greasy, cheesy, and packed full of meaty flavor. They aren’t diet food, and they certainly don’t pretend to be healthy. Wawa’s Cheesesteak ticks off all the boxes with a delightfully-packed sandwich jammed with a ton of hot meat and cheese. If you’re looking for the best, saltiest comfort food around, you really can’t go wrong with this particular sandwich. Wawa’s Cheesesteaks are also great for sharing, especially if you’re not extra hungry. I like to pair my Cheesesteak with a side of potato chips and a tall soda on ice.


Turkey Hoagie

If you’re looking for a well-executed sandwich with familiar flavors, reach for Wawa’s Turkey Hoagie. One of the most extraordinary things about this sandwich is that you can dress it up for down. Turkey purists might simply want to toss on a bit of lettuce, tomato, and cheese and top it off with some oil or mayonnaise. Alternately, you can opt for more adventurous toppings, like olives, peppers, or different dressings. This sandwich is an excellent option for splitting with a friend. Virtually everyone loves Turkey Hoagies, and you can always put out some toppings on the side so they can customize it to their liking. 


Ham Hoagie

As with their Turkey Hoagie, Wawa’s Ham Hoagie is a masterpiece of simplicity. You can personalize it any way that you would like, or just enjoy it with a dab of mayo, some lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Personally, I like to ask for extra ham, toss on a slice of American cheese, and put some pepper and oil on my sandwich. I find that the ham is flavorful enough on its own and that I don’t need too much dressing to make an exceptional sandwich. 


Roasted Veggie Hoagie

If you want to go the healthier route and get some vegetables in your diet, try Wawa’s Roasted Veggie Hoagie. This hoagie stands out from the crowd because it incorporates flavorful, seasonal vegetables into the mix for a combination that’s both refreshing and unexpected. Each bite yields huge pieces of spinach, squash, and tomatoes. I like to add a slice of provolone cheese, just to kick up the flavor a little bit and add some texture to the sandwich. The Roasted Veggie Hoagie generally comes with one piece of cheese, but if you want a more even cheese to vegetable balance, you might want to get two. 


Chicken Finger Hoagie

The Chicken Finger Hoagie is a meaty, classic sandwich that pairs two of Wawa’s best food items; a hoagie and their crunchy breaded chicken tenders. As with most of their sandwiches, Wawa is generous with the portions. In addition, they will load up your hoagie roll with several tenders. Top your tenders with some vegetables of choice, cheese, and a dressing. I like the classic combination of tomatoes, lettuce, and just a touch of onion. Of course, you can always experiment with different flavor combinations to find the one that you like best. This sandwich is a true winner no matter how you slice it or top it.

As with the Chicken Finger Hoagie, Wawa’s Meatball Sandwich takes a classic food and elevates it by putting it between a soft hoagie roll. The key to a perfect sandwich is making sure that the ratio of cheese to meatballs is absolutely on point. The sandwich also needs to balance the meatballs and bread so that one doesn’t overpower the other. Wawa definitely strikes the right balance with their Meatball Sandwich. You will get deliciously gooey cheese, meatballs, and soft bread in every bite. So if you’re a true meatball connoisseur, get to Wawa for this great sandwich.

Since Wawa definitely does the classics right, it should come as no surprise that their BLT is an exceptional sandwich that balances bacon, toppings, and dressing expertly. Wawa doesn’t skimp on the bacon, which is one of the reasons why this sandwich is so impressive. You’ll get crunchy, delicious bacon in every bite. Wawa’s BLT also comes with shredded lettuce, making it easier to eat and ensuring that you will get a good ratio of vegetables to bacon throughout the entire sandwich. I like to order this sandwich with mustard for a fun flavor twist instead of the traditional mayonnaise.  


Pepperoni Hoagie

Wawa’s Pepperoni Hoagie is one of their more obscure sandwiches, and you will be rewarded heavily for venturing off the beaten path and trying it. This Pepperoni Hoagie fuses all of the best flavors you would expect from a pizza and presents them on a fresh, warm, hoagie roll. As with most of Wawa’s exceptional sandwiches, you can customize your Pepperoni Hoagie with vegetables, different cheese, or dressings. I like to opt for provolone cheese, some olives and onions, and a little bit of tomato for a twist on great pizza flavor.


Chicken Salad Sandwich

Wawa’s signature chicken salad comes with large chunks of juicy chicken and creamy mayonnaise. They really get the ratio of chicken salad to bread right also, so you have just enough in every bite. I enjoy this sandwich because it shows how delicious something simple can be if you make it with premium ingredients and get the portions right. Although I like the sandwich plain, you can top off your sandwich with a few slices of bacon or add a few vegetables for some variety and crunch. You can even ask them to make it with a little extra mayonnaise for a creamier, decadent version.
