The Sandwich That Started It All
While Schlotzsky’s menu has grown over the years, everything started with one sandwich: The Original.
Created in 1971 in Austin, Texas, The Original combines ham, salami, cheddar, mozzarella, olives, lettuce, tomato, mustard, and Schlotzsky’s signature sauce — all served on warm, freshly baked sourdough bread.
More than 50 years later, it remains the restaurant’s best-selling sandwich. To celebrate National Sandwich Day 2025, some locations are featuring a “Throwback Combo” that includes The Original, chips, and a drink at a special price.
New Sandwiches Making Waves in 2025
In addition to classic favorites, Schlotzsky’s has introduced several new sandwiches this year — just in time for National Sandwich Day celebrations.
Here are a few of the latest must-try items:
- Smoky Brisket Melt: Tender smoked brisket, cheddar cheese, and jalapeños drizzled with barbecue sauce.
- Turkey Bacon Club Supreme: A hearty upgrade on the traditional club, with roasted turkey, crispy bacon, and Swiss cheese on sourdough.
- Italian Feast: Layered with salami, pepperoni, mozzarella, and zesty Italian dressing.
- Veggie Supreme: A lighter option packed with roasted red peppers, spinach, avocado spread, and provolone.
Each sandwich is baked on Schlotzsky’s signature round sourdough bread — freshly made every day for that perfect crunch and softness.

Schlotzsky’s Legacy: From Austin to America
Founded in 1971, Schlotzsky’s began as a small sandwich shop in Austin, Texas. What started with one menu item — The Original — quickly grew into a national brand.
Today, Schlotzsky’s operates more than 300 locations across the U.S., known for its oven-baked sandwiches, fresh sourdough bread, and unique circular buns.
Over the years, the brand has also expanded into pizzas, flatbreads, and salads, while staying true to its roots as a destination for sandwich lovers who crave flavor and freshness.
Giving Back on National Sandwich Day
Beyond serving up delicious food, Schlotzsky’s is using National Sandwich Day to make a difference.
In 2025, many Schlotzsky’s franchise owners are partnering with local food banks and hunger relief charities. A portion of proceeds from select sales on November 3 will go toward providing meals for families in need.
Last year, Schlotzsky’s and its franchise community donated over $250,000 worth of meals, and this year, they’re aiming to exceed that number. It’s another reason National Sandwich Day feels a little more meaningful — a celebration that gives back.
Sandwiches in the Spotlight: A Growing Industry
The sandwich industry continues to thrive in 2025, with fast-casual restaurants seeing major growth across the country. Consumers are looking for high-quality ingredients, customizable options, and quick service — all areas where Schlotzsky’s shines.
Industry data shows that U.S. sandwich sales rose 8% this year, driven by the popularity of craft bread and premium meats. Schlotzsky’s remains at the forefront of this trend with its handmade bread, fresh ingredients, and customer-focused loyalty program.
The company’s focus on technology — including online ordering, pickup lockers, and delivery — has also helped it stay competitive in an ever-changing dining landscape.
Customer Excitement and Online Buzz
Every National Sandwich Day, fans flood social media with posts celebrating their favorite Schlotzsky’s sandwiches. This year is no exception.
On TikTok and Instagram, hashtags like #SchlotzskysSandwichDay and #TheOriginal are trending as users show off their sandwiches, loyalty rewards, and creative “sandwich hacks.”
Schlotzsky’s is also running an online poll to vote for the most beloved sandwich on its menu. Early favorites include The Original, the Turkey Bacon Club, and the French Dip Supreme. The winning item will receive a feature spot in Schlotzsky’s 2026 marketing campaign.
