Speedway: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Speedway beats the average gas station because select stores run a Speedy Cafe counter that makes food to order. Build a vegetable and cheese sub, order a whole cheese pizza, and you’ve got a real meal instead of a bag of chips. Call ahead if you’re counting on one specific item, since Speedway stores vary and the chain is folding into 7-Eleven.

What to order at Speedway

Start with the build-your-own veggie sub, loaded with vegetables and cheese. Order cheese pizza by the slice or as a whole pie. Add Speedy Cafe french fries if a shared fryer doesn’t bother you. The bakery case covers donuts, muffins, and pastries, and the cooler has fresh fruit, string cheese, and yogurt cups. Coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate, and the Slurpee and fountain drinks round out the easy wins.

What to watch out for

Not every Speedway has a Speedy Cafe counter, and the lineup shifts by location more than it used to since the 2021 sale to 7-Eleven’s parent company. Speedy Cafe fries and mozzarella sticks usually share a fryer with meat, so ask if that matters to you. The roller grill runs entirely on hot dogs, taquitos, and sausages, no exceptions. Gummy candy and marshmallow treats contain gelatin. Build your sub without cheese and mayo to keep it vegan.
