Here is the complete Subway gluten-free menu.
Subway is experimenting with gluten-free bread in select locations. Check with your local store. Unfortunately, if they don’t have gluten-free bread, then your only choice is a salad. Hopefully, Subway will expand their gluten-free options nationwide eventually!
Note: I can confirm there are no stores in Arizona that have gluten-free options.

Subway History
Subway is currently ranked as the fastest growing fast food restaurant chain in the world. It is a privately held company with the main headquarters located in Milford, Connecticut. It’s the brainchild of Fred DeLuca who founded it in August 1965 at the age of 17. He borrowed $1,000 to start a sandwich shop with the sole aim of paying for his college fees.
DeLuca wanted to study medicine but did not have the funds for tuition. His friend suggested that they open a business and with an initial input of $1,000 from the same person, the landscape was set for a future success story in the fast food industry. Subway’s first store was located in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
The founders set a goal of opening 32 stores within the first 10 years. Fred soon mastered the art of running a business, including the importance of serving well cooked, high quality food and providing exceptional customer service. They also learned how to keep operational costs low and identify great locations for opening new stores. These lessons still play an integral part in Subway restaurants to this day.
The food chain is known for selling made-to-order sandwiches, including foot long ‘submarines’ which are oblong-shaped buns filled with meat and toppings. They also have salads, desserts and beverages which were introduced to increase the customer base. Subway has managed to undercut its competitors mainly because of the low startup costs, affordable food prices and marketing techniques that focus on fresh ingredients with low calorie content and reduced sodium.
Today, Subway is an internationally acclaimed brand with more than 44,000 locations around the globe. They are the leading choice for those looking for a quick, nutritious meal that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Though the company doesn’t list its financial results publicly, Forbes estimates that they have an annual revenue of approximately $18 billion. Mr. DeLuca is credited with turning a simple idea into a multi-billion dollar empire.

Summary
Subway does have some great salads, but unfortunately only a few stores have experimented with gluten-free bread. No gluten-free turkey sandwiches quite yet!
Be careful to steer clear of the teriyaki chicken… made with soy sauce that has gluten in it.
Thanks for the heads up Chris!
The oven-roasted chicken has corn gluten. I didn’t even know what that was until I ate it on gluten-free bread and still got sick (no one in the restaurant told me that was in it), but after ordering something else (buffalo chicken sandwhich), I haven’t had problems since. So just be aware of that because I don’t even have a severe allergy, just a mild intolerance.
Do you know what the gluten free buns are made of? Is there wheat in them? My husband has a wheat allergy so it would be great to know if he could eat this. Thanks.
wheat has gluten in it so yeah it’s absolutely wheat free. everything gluten free is wheat free, however, not everything wheat free is gluten free
What Marcos said :)
All of the subways in my area have gluten-free bread and it’s great! I thought I’d have to give up my favorite fast food chain when I gave up gluten but luckily I won’t. They aren’t always careful about preventing cross-contamination, though, so you have to keep that in mind if you have a really serious allergy.
Glad to hear it Ciarra! I wish mine area had gluten-free bread. Maybe one day.
What locations offer gluten free bread
Unfortunately it’s up to the franchise owner, so you would have to call ahead. However, if you live near a Jersey Mikes, they just launched nationwide Udi’s gluten-free buns this month!
Udi’s GF Bread is yucky IMOP
Thanks for telling me about Jersey Mikes. They just opened one near me.
There is gluten free flour made from wheat. Look up Juvela Fibre Mix. It has had the gluten extracted… probably through a process that sounds scientific using methods one probably would make a first choice!
Hey Rob!
Thanks for the comment. Yes, hopefully, Subway offers a good gluten-free bread one of these days. I know some local Subways have been testing gluten-free packaged bread, but there is nothing that has been rolled out across their entire chain.
I live in Cuyahoga and I wend to subway out here and they don’t have gluten free subs . were can I buy a subway sub that is gluten free
Thank you for your help I will keep trying until I found one the sell a subway that is gluten free but I will try jersey mikes we have one here
Hey Carolyn… I think it is up to the franchise owner. My family in WA state has tried it and they said it was horrible. So perhaps we aren’t missing out on anything :) I personally go to Jersey Mike’s once a week. Their bread is great in my opinion. And it was a nationwide rollout for bread, meaning every location has it.
I would like to know if any of their dressings are gluten-free.
Years ago when my local Subway started carrying a GF bread it was a lighter colored round bun and it tasted great with no stomach issues afterwards. However when they switched to this elongated bread that was darker in color my stomach would hurt afterwards. I looked into the ingredients and realized the majority of the flour was millet which does upset my stomach. So unfortunately I still cannot have a subway sandwich. It was my go to for travel food when I was younger (14 years ago) before wheat started affecting me. I’m hoping they switch back or find another bread option.
Hey Alicia,
Just curious, are you in the US? I haven’t seen many Subways in the US offer gluten-free options. Although I think sometimes it is up to the franchise owner as well. I would be at Subway every day if they had a good gluten-free bread option. Subway is probably one of the fast-food places I miss the most.
Subway in Scarborough Maine has gluten free bread now!
Awesome, I’m jealous Jill! None of the Subways here in AZ area have gluten-free bread options yet. How does it taste?
