Ciabatta Cheesesteak: The Full Breakdown

Panera's Ciabatta Cheesesteak is a modern, elevated take on the classic East Coast staple. We use premium, marinated sliced steak that is exceptionally tender, topped with melted provolone cheese for that authentic gooey texture. The real star, however, is the combination of caramelized onions and zesty sweet peppadew peppers, which provide a complex balance of sweetness and mild heat.

Our garlic aioli adds a luxurious creaminess that elevates the beef, all contained within a crusty, toasted ciabatta roll that holds up perfectly under the weight of the hearty ingredients.

Price Notice: We independently track Panera Bread prices. Costs may vary by location. Check your local cafe for current pricing.

Pro Tip: Order through the Panera app to customize the Ciabatta Cheesesteak before you arrive. Rapid Pick-Up means no wait in line. If you are a MyPanera rewards member, this item earns points toward free bakery items.

Most people order the Ciabatta Cheesesteak straight off the board. Here's the shortcut to better flavor: a few zero-cost tweaks that regulars swear by.

How to Order the Ciabatta Cheesesteak Smarter

The trick is simple: customize the Ciabatta Cheesesteak through the Panera app before you arrive. Swap the default bread for Sourdough (free, crunchier), request sauce on the side for dipping control, and pair it with a cup of soup in You Pick Two ($11.99) instead of ordering solo ($14+).

  • Pair the Ciabatta Cheesesteak in a You Pick Two combo ($11.99).
  • Use the Panera app for order-ahead and skip the lunch line.
  • Join Sip Club ($14.99/mo) if you grab drinks frequently.

Common Mistake (Avoid)

  • Ordering at the register without checking the customization options.
  • Ordering the Ciabatta Cheesesteak solo at full price ($14.59).
  • Waiting in the chaotic lunch rush line and losing 10-15 minutes.
  • Paying $3-5 per drink every visit without utilizing a subscription.
