FAQS

Its balance of flavors stands out without overwhelming toppings.

8-inch French bread: ~600-630 calories

16-inch French bread: ~1200 calories

Unwich (lettuce wrap): ~370 calories

The Pepe includes ham, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. To make it healthier, skip the mayo, opt for the Unwich to reduce carbs, or add nutrient-rich toppings like cucumbers or avocado spread (extra cost). Choosing wheat bread adds fiber compared to French bread. Be cautious of sodium (~1500-1700mg in the 8-inch), which is high for those watching salt intake.
