Smash or Pass? Jimmy John’s Introduces Picklewich – A Sandwich with a Giant Pickle Instead of Bread

Jimmy John’s is giving pickle lovers something to look forward to with its latest menu item, the Picklewich. Starting October 28 through November 14, participating locations nationwide will offer this bread-free alternative, featuring a giant kosher dill pickle in place of the traditional sandwich loaf.

The Picklewich will be available in two different options:

• The Vito Picklewich: A twist on the original Vito, combining salami, capocollo, and provolone cheese with lettuce, tomato, onion, oil & vinegar, and oregano-basil—all inside two halves of a Jimmy Pickle.
• The Turkey Picklewich: Premium turkey and provolone cheese, along with fresh lettuce and tomato, served between two pickle halves.

To complement the new Picklewich, Jimmy John’s is also bringing back the popular Pickle Jimmy Chips, which add a pickle-flavored twist to their classic, thick-sliced potato chips.

For those curious but hesitant, Jimmy John’s is offering a promotion on National Sandwich Day, November 3, where Freaky Fast Rewards members can get 50% off the Picklewich when they buy any 8-inch sandwich. Not a fan of pickles? Starting the same day, customers can enjoy a free combo (chips and a drink) with any 8-inch sandwich order placed after 2 p.m. through November and December.
