The Capriotti's Impossible Cheese Steak Sandwich is being launched nationwide by the brand to help offer consumers across the country with the option to try out the premium plant-based menu item. The sandwich was originally test marketed by the brand in Las Vegas in November and was well-received enough to warrant a wider launch to hope offer all Capriotti's patrons with the option to give it a try. The sandwich starts off with 100% plant-based protein that helps it to mimic the flavor and texture of the brand's original cheesesteak quite well.
The nationwide launch of the Capriotti's Impossible Cheese Steak Sandwich was also announced alongside plans for a new Impossible Meatball Sandwich that could launch in the spring.
