Schlotzsky’s Deli, one of the iconic brands within the GoTo Foods portfolio, is raising the bar—and the height—of its menu. On Wednesday, May 6, 2026, the fast-casual restaurant chain announced the nationwide launch of its new Stacked Subs lineup.
To ensure these new sandwiches meet the highest internet standards, Schlotzsky’s has collaborated with viral content creator and cookbook author Owen Han, widely recognized online as the “King of Sandwiches”.
The Stacked Subs Lineup
The new menu evolution represents a modern take on what sandwich lovers are craving in 2026, delivering generous portions and premium ingredients. The sandwiches are served on Schlotzsky’s new Artisan White or Harvest Wheat sub rolls.
The Stacked Subs lineup debuts with three signature combinations:
- Zesty Italian: Crafted with bold flavors, high-quality ingredients, and house-made sauces.
- Honey Mustard Club: A towering build layered with fresh ingredients to satisfy serious cravings.
- Turkey Avocado BLT: A classic flavor combination elevated through meticulous ingredient balance and a craveable build.
Combating the “Shrinkflation” Frustration
The launch of the Stacked Subs is a direct response to modern consumer grievances regarding value and food volume.
“At Schlotzsky’s, ‘Lotz’ isn’t just a tagline – it’s our promise,” said Donna Varner, Chief Brand Officer at Schlotzsky’s Deli. “As we’ve heard the growing consumer frustration around shrinking portions and corner‑cutting, the launch of Stacked Subs reinforces what we’ve always been about – generous portions, hearty flavors and sandwiches that truly satisfy.”
The “King of Sandwiches” Stamp of Approval
To prove the structural integrity and flavor profile of the new subs, Schlotzsky’s tapped Owen Han to apply his signature “stack tests”. Han has amassed millions of followers through his sensorial, ASMR-style sandwich builds and honest taste tests.
“Teaming up with Schlotzsky’s is a natural fit – we both care about doing sandwiches right,” said Han. “Stacked Subs nail what I look for in a great sandwich – strong flavor combinations, quality ingredients and a craveable build that keeps me coming back for another bite. They don’t just stack up – they stand out.”
