    I went there once a few years ago and really liked it. Thanks for posting that article, funny how they are from the Abruzzo part of Italy and your user name is Abruzzo.
    Yeah I have fam in Abruzzo. And it's kinda like that one Pearl Jam drummer. Real deep stuff - you've cracked it Xavier!
    haha, guess I'm perceptive! Never had the cheesesteak there but am intrigued enough to try it sometime.
    I got it once and it was really good, but generally I can't resist the namesake roast pork.
    I wanted to go to John's Roast Pork tomorrow, but with a 5:00 closing time, I don't think I can make that.

    I'm thinking of going to Angelo's instead.  Never had a cheesesteak there.

    Angelo’s was great!!!! My son and I got one of the last few when we went. Guess they sell out of that delicious bread from next door.

    I think they make their own bread?

    Yes, basically sarcones. He’s married to the sarcone daughter. It’s so good. 

    They opened a kitchen for delivery but don’t think it makes its way to my house

    Oh, didn’t realize the bakery is in the family. I saw it about three doors down. That’s cool!

    So yeah, sacrones is separate and he doesn’t make it at the bakery, they do it in Angelo’s, but it’s just a very very similar bread give the ties 
  • CarryTheZeroCarryTheZero Posts: 2,968
    👍 The bread was so good.

    Any idea if I get there around 5 or so that they will be sold out? or is it just a crap-shoot?

    And if they are sold out what's the next best option?(I'm going to a concert at The Center)
  • cutzcutz Posts: 11,903
    Well, NO luck getting a cheesesteak at Angelos.

    When I got there the line was very long. I asked the girl in front of me if she knew about how long? And she told me she heard close to 2 hours. Ask someone waiting and said they ordered over a hour ago and wasn't sure how much longer. I LOVE Cheesesteaks but I wasn't waiting that long. I decided to go to Jim's and I just did a drive-by as the long was out the door and down the sidewalk.

    The one time I was there we called ahead. Cheesesteaks were ready as soon as we got there. Wife hopped out and paid while I drove around the block and waited.

    Yeah calling ahead is the way to go. Even then it’s still quite a pain to deal with. Might as well make it as easy as possible on yourself. 
  • RiotZactRiotZact Posts: 6,260
    Also, Del Rossi’s is essentially copying Angelo’s right now. Baking their own seeded rolls and everything. Angelo’s is probably slightly better, but I’d have a tough time Pepsi challenging them. We got a smorgasbord of them delivered for our guests that were visiting for the PJ shows and they were a huge hit. So much easier to deal with than Angelo’s.

    I tried calling them once and got busy signals. Friends coming in from out-of-town this weekend. I'm getting Mama's Pizzeria cheesesteaks for the occasion.

  • WobbieWobbie Posts: 30,312
    as seen on diners, drive ins and dives, in my hometown of columbus, ohio. place looks pretty legit. F’me thinks guy fieri is an asshat and I strongly disagree.

    No issues with triple D. I always enjoy watching it. He has helped many businesses. That said most of his restaurants are corporate gigs with mediocre food, and I would never buy a pan with his name on it. Just another celebrity chef. Has he ever done a cheesesteak show?

    agree. I’ve heard his restaurants suck. I just really like his show and like seeing the passion behind all the “mom and pop” restaurants.

    F’me - that italian bar/restaurant you took us too in philly would be a natural for Triple D.

    Mmmm.  Trying to recall which place that was.
    Whole series of days/nights perhaps a little blurry, but lots of fun.
    We didn't cheesesteak it up, specifically.
    Too many people to wrangle. 

     I don't think I recall Guy doing one of the more well known steak places, but I stopped watching him.  Too much to take, although the concept is great.
