Amighetti’s Nutrition Information | Smart Menu Guide

Amighetti’s nutrition info varies; a half Special averages 550–700 calories, while a whole ranges 1,000–1,300.

What You’re Looking For, Fast

The classic deli shop lists meats, cheese, house dressing, and produce on its menu but does not publish a full nutrition panel. That leaves diners asking the same question: how many calories, carbs, protein, and sodium do the most popular builds carry? This guide gives practical ranges based on standard deli portions for ham, salami, roast beef, bread, cheese, and oil-based dressing. You’ll also see a simple way to trim a few hundred calories without losing the spirit of the sandwich.

The anchor here is the famous Special. The default build places ham, salami, and roast beef on the house loaf, then adds a slice of cheese, lettuce, tomato, thin pickles, onion, and a touch of pepperoncini with the signature sauce. Portions vary by crew and location, so the numbers below sit in tight bands, not single points.

Ingredient-Level Estimate For One Half Special

Ingredient	Typical Amount	Calories
Ham (deli)	2 oz	90–110
Genoa salami	1.5 oz	140–180
Roast beef	2 oz	90–120
Cheese slice	1 oz	80–110
House bread	Half roll	180–240
Special dressing	1 tbsp	60–120
Veg & peppers	—	15–25

Add those pieces and a half lands in the 550–700 calorie window. Double the meats, bread, and cheese and a full size pushes near 1,000–1,300 calories. The sauce swing explains many of the gaps; a heavy hand can add more than 200 calories on its own.

Close Variant: Amighetti Special Nutrition Facts Guide

When people search for the Special’s nutrition, they want numbers they can act on. Here’s a grounded way to read the plate without lab equipment. First, meat weight drives the count more than anything besides bread. A leaner stack keeps flavor but reins in energy. Second, the loaf brings structure and a big share of starch. Third, the sauce is oil forward, which means a small change has a large effect on calories and fat.

If you’re tracking carbs, the bread sets the pace. A half roll usually carries 30–40 grams, while a whole can reach 60–80 grams. Pickles, tomato, onion, and peppers barely move the needle for carbs or calories, so load those freely if you like crunch and bite.

How We Built The Numbers

The ranges come from standard USDA listings for deli meats, sliced cheese, white or Italian bread, and vinaigrette-style dressing. Where menu notes give choices, we used midline items that match the brand’s typical build. For meats, think two ounces per layer on a half size and double that for a full. For cheese, one ounce per half. For the loaf, most halves sit near 180–240 calories based on weight and crumb.

Sodium varies by brand and curing method. Deli ham and salami carry more sodium than roast beef. The sandwich remains a high-sodium meal even with light sauce. If you monitor sodium intake, consider a half size with extra vegetables and a lighter hand on the dressing.

Menu references confirm the build and the sauce. You can skim the current PDF to match ingredients listed for the Specials: digital menu PDF. For carb and calorie context on the loaf style, see nutrient tables for white bread on a trusted database such as MyFoodData white bread.

Make It Lighter Without Losing The Point

Five Tweaks That Keep The Flavor

• Ask for light sauce or sauce on the side; two teaspoons saves 40–80 calories compared with a heaping tablespoon.
• Keep two meats instead of three on a half; dropping salami trims 140–180 calories and a dose of saturated fat.
• Swap one cheese slice for a thinner shave; many counters can do this without changing the taste balance.
• Choose a half with a side salad instead of chips; that swap alone can save 150–250 calories.
• Load lettuce, tomato, onion, and pepperoncini; volume helps satiety for almost no energy cost.

These switches hold up in daily ordering. The sandwich keeps its snap, tang, and savory pull, and you free up room for a cookie or a side without overshooting your target.

What About Protein, Carbs, Fat, And Sodium?

Protein lands in a friendly range because of the triple-meat build. A half with standard layers brings 30–40 grams of protein. A whole can reach 60–75 grams. Carbs come mainly from the loaf: 30–40 grams for a half, 60–80 grams for a whole. Fat varies with salami and sauce. A half with a light pour sits near 20–30 grams of fat, while a hearty pour and full salami layer can nudge past 40 grams. Sodium often crosses 1,500 milligrams on a whole size, mainly from cured meats and cheese.

If you’re pairing a salad, be mindful of dressing. A heavy pour can match the sandwich calories. A measured two tablespoons of oil-rich dressing adds 240–280 calories, so start with less and taste.

Swap Guide: Calorie Change By Choice (Per Half)

Swap	Calorie Change	Notes
No salami layer	−140 to −180	Lowers fat and sodium
Light sauce (2 tsp)	−40 to −80	Oil-based dressing
Thinner cheese shave	−30 to −50	Keep flavor balance
Extra vegetables	0	More volume, same calories
Half size instead of whole	−450 to −600	Biggest single lever

Use the table like a slider. Stack two or three changes on a half and you can trim 200–300 calories while keeping the core taste and texture that made the sandwich a local classic.

Allergy And Ingredient Notes

The bread contains wheat and the standard cheese contains dairy. The sauce may contain egg, depending on the recipe used that day. Meats contain common curing agents. If you need a change, ask the counter to hold a layer or swap a cheese. The team is used to tailoring orders.

Cross-contact can occur in busy lunch service. If you need a stricter prep, call ahead and ask what steps the location can take.

Ordering Tips That Save Time

Pick Size First

Half or whole sets the baseline. Choose half for a solo lunch or whole to share.

Pick Your Layers

Go with the classic triple-meat stack or choose two layers if you want a leaner profile. Cheese style depends on the shop’s default that day; a mild white slice is common and Provel is an option at some counters.

Set The Sauce

Ask for light, regular, or heavy. A small change here has a clear calorie effect.

Add The Crunch

Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and pepperoncini bring balance. Ask for extra if you love a tall bite.

Portion Visuals That Help

Two ounces of deli meat looks like a modest handful of folded slices. That’s the usual layer on a half. One ounce of sliced cheese is about a thin square the size of your palm. A tablespoon of dressing is a level soup spoon. Picture those markers when you ask for light, regular, or heavy, and your order will match the target in your head.

When splitting a whole, ask the crew to cut into thirds or quarters. Smaller pieces slow the pace and make sharing easier. If you plan to save a piece, wrap it snugly to protect the crumb and keep the vegetables crisp.

Beyond The Special: Other Items In Brief

Salad builds mirror the sandwich layers without the loaf. The house salad version brings the same meats and cheese over greens with the signature dressing. That swap trims a large chunk of carbs, though calories can climb if the pour gets generous. Pasta plates land across a broad span, since sauces and add-ons vary. A red-sauce bowl sits lower than a creamy sauce. If you want a smaller add-on, look at a side salad or a cup of soup.

For sandwich variations, the turkey or roast beef versions dial back fat compared with the salami-heavy picks. Veggie builds lean on cheese and dressing for richness, so the same sauce guidance applies. Many diners like a half sandwich paired with a salad or soup to strike a balanced plate.

Method And Source Notes

We sized meats and cheese against standard deli weights and pulled calorie values from USDA-derived references. Ingredient labels at the shop and the current menu tell you what’s inside, but calorie math still depends on how thick the crew slices and how saucy the build runs that day. Think in bands, not single numbers, and you’ll make better choices.

Menu details confirm the classic stack, the bread, and the presence of the house sauce. Ingredient choices and cheese swaps appear on recent menus and the current digital sheet, which helps you match our scenarios to what you see on the board during your visit.
