Capriotti’s: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Capriotti’s built its name on meat classics like the Bobbie turkey sub, so vegetarians have to look past most of the menu. What’s left is two genuine plant proteins, and they’re not interchangeable if you’re vegan.

What to order at Capriotti’s

The Impossible Cheesesteak and the Veggie Chicken Cheese Steak both skip meat and egg, so either one goes fully vegan the moment you ask for no cheese and no mayo. The Veggie Turkey sub looks like the safer choice, but skip it if you’re vegan. The vegetarian and vegan picks mostly live in the Cap’s Specials and the Salads and Sides sections, so start your search for a filling meal there instead of the classic sub board. Catering orders can follow the same rule, so ask your location to build a tray from the vegetarian subs instead of the standard assorted platter.

What to watch out for at Capriotti’s

The Veggie Turkey sub is built on a Worthington Foods product that contains real egg whites, so it stays vegetarian no matter what you leave off, not vegan. Soups, desserts, and the Cap’s Kids menu don’t have a published vegetarian ingredient list, so ask before ordering from those sections if you’re strict about dairy, egg, or meat-based stock. And steer clear of the named meat classics entirely, including the Bobbie, Homemade Turkey, Homemade Roast Beef, Homemade Tuna, the Capastrami, and the meatballs in marinara.
