In Pennsylvania, New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic, "let's grab Wawa" usually means one thing: a hoagie from the touchscreen. If you're new to Wawa, the size names alone can be confusing. Here's the guide.

Wawa Hoagie Sizes
| Size | Approx. length | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Junior | ~4–5 inches | Kids, snack |
| Shorti | ~6–7 inches | Normal lunch |
| Classic | ~10–12 inches | Big appetite or sharing |
Shorti vs Classic: a Classic is roughly double the Shorti. If you're hungry, the Classic usually costs less than two Shortis.
Typical Prices (Estimates)
| Size | Cold hoagie | Hot hoagie / specialty |
|---|---|---|
| Junior | $4 – $6 | $5 – $7 |
| Shorti | $6 – $8.50 | $7 – $9.50 |
| Classic | $8.50 – $12 | $10 – $13.50 |
Calories (Approximate, Shorti)
| Hoagie | Calories |
|---|---|
| Turkey & cheese | ~450 – 550 |
| Italian | ~650 – 800 |
| Chicken salad | ~600 – 750 |
| Meatball (hot) | ~700 – 900 |
| Veggie | ~350 – 450 |
Bread choice, cheese and sauces change these numbers a lot.
The Gobbler (Seasonal)
Wawa's fall/winter favorite: turkey, stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce on a roll. It usually appears in the fall (around October–November) and stays through the holidays.
Hoagiefest
Every summer, Wawa runs Hoagiefest, with discounted Shorti and Classic hoagies (often several weeks starting around June). It's the cheapest time of year to eat Wawa hoagies.
Best Hot Hoagies
- Meatball hoagie
- Cheesesteak (beef or chicken)
- Buffalo chicken
- Gobbler (seasonal)
How to Build the Best Wawa Hoagie
- Choose size and bread (white, wheat, etc.).
- Pick your meat and ask for double meat if hungry.
- Cheese: provolone is the classic.
- Toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, hot peppers.
- Sauces: oil and vinegar, mayo, sweet peppers, or a creamy sauce.
- Toast it for a warm hoagie.
- Seasoning: salt, pepper, oregano.
Keto & Lighter Options
- Hoagie bowl (no bread) for keto
- Wheat roll and lean meats
- Skip mayo, use oil and vinegar lightly
Touchscreen Tips From Wawa Regulars
Wawa’s ordering touchscreens make customization easy, but there are so many options that first-timers can feel lost. Here’s how regulars build a great hoagie fast.
Save time
- Use the Wawa app to order ahead and pick up without waiting at the screen.
- Save favorite orders in the app so you can reorder with one tap.
- Order before lunch rush (around 11:30 a.m.) for faster pickup.
Flavor upgrades
Small extras change everything. Add sweet peppers or hot peppers to an Italian hoagie, ask for oil and vinegar instead of mayo for a lighter, tangier sandwich, and choose toasted to melt the cheese. A sprinkle of oregano and black pepper finishes a classic deli flavor.
Picking the right roll
Wawa offers several bread choices depending on location. Soft white rolls are classic; wheat adds a little fiber; some stores offer seeded or specialty rolls. If you’re watching carbs, a bowl or salad version skips the roll entirely.
Hoagies for groups
Wawa sells hoagie trays and party options at many locations for events. Classic hoagies cut into pieces make easy party food, and you can mix Italian, turkey and veggie options to cover different tastes.
Storage
Cold hoagies are best eaten within a few hours. If you buy one for later, ask for spreads on the side so the bread stays firm, and keep it refrigerated.
