You can get whole size Signature sandwiches for similar prices as above. The signature sandwiches options are a little limited, but have more choices than the premium versions.
You can choose from Bacon Turkey Bravo, Napa Almond Chicken Salad, Italian Combo (although this has been removed from some menus), or Steak & Arugula.
The Italian Combo was released from some Panera Bread menus in recent years, which was met with fury amongst regular visitors.

Ask at your local store to see if they still serve it.

You can choose from our favorite, the Chicken Tortellini Alfredo (chicken, garlic cloves, Italian cheese blend, cheese tortellini, salt and pepper, and parsley) for around $8, Butternut Squash Ravioli, Pasta Primavera, Pesto Sacchettini Pasta, Tortellini Alfredo Pasta, Pesto Sacchettini or Tortellini Alfredo Pasta, as well as the Chicken Tortellini Alfredo, Butternut Squash Ravioli, or Pasta Primavera.
