What is interesting about the pickle sandwich is that it will replace the bread with a huge kosher dill pickle. Jimmy John’s pickle sandwich will have two varieties, the Vito Picklewich and the Turkey Picklewich. Netizens have reacted to the launch of the new sandwich with various comments. One social media user wrote,
“Either gonna be a banger or horrible, not in-between.”
Reddit users had ambivalent opinions about Jimmy John’s pickle sandwich as they called it a ‘messy’ sandwich.
“I feel like it would taste fine, but everything would just slide out of the "pickle bread" when you bite into it.”
“Chomping into split pickle like it's a sandwich sounds wrong.”
“Pickles are a very wet food, this sounds like a messy sandwich.”
Netizens expressed concerns over the pickle while others suggested alternatives.
“Looks like a sandwich with a pretty big pickle in it. I wonder how much they're spending on marketing.”
“i love pickles, don't get me wrong, but this just seems like it'd be tricky to eat. i'd rather do a lettuce wrap with extra pickles on the inside.”
“Seems like everything in between the pickle will just smoosh out the sides with every bite. Stupid sandwich architecture.”
“If they did like a ham/cream cheese/jalapeno it would be bangin.”
The Vito Picklewich features a combination of salami, capocollo, provolone cheese, fresh-sliced lettuce, tomato, onion, oil and vinegar, and oregano-basil, all with a crispy pickle crunch while the Turkey Picklewich will have premium turkey and provolone layered between two halves of a crisp Jimmy Pickle.
Jimmy John's latest pickle sandwich can be complemented with their Pickle Jimmy Chips
It seems like a viral claim that Jimmy John’s pickle sandwich isn’t complete without Jimmy Chips. Hence, to pair perfectly with the Picklewich, the beloved Pickle Jimmy Chips will be introduced.
These fan favorites combine the salty, sour, and dill pickle flavor with the classic Jimmy Chips, made from thick-sliced potatoes, real salt, and 100% peanut oil.
According to a review by People Magazine, both Picklewich sandwich varieties delivered a strong pickle flavor, with each bite offering roughly an even balance of pickle with meat and cheese.
The provolone cheese adds a creamy contrast to the briny taste in both the Turkey and Vito versions, with testers recommending the Vito for those who prefer more meat.
The Picklewich options were described as much lighter than a typical sandwich. They also held up well as leftovers, with no sogginess thanks to the absence of bread or other absorbent ingredients, keeping the pickle juice from softening the sandwich.
On National Sandwich Day on November 3, 2024, Jimmy John’s is giving Freaky Fast Reward Members a 50% discount on the new Picklewich with the purchase of any 8-inch sandwich under certain terms and conditions.
Starting November 3, 2024, any 8-inch sandwich ordered after 2 PM can be made into a combo, including a bag of Jimmy Chips and a drink, at no extra cost. This offer will be available throughout November and December but will have terms and conditions. Sandwich lovers can head over to jimmyjohns.com to know more.
