Philly's BEST CHEESESTEAK? Angelo's Pizzeria Review

Out of all the best cheesesteaks in Philly, such as Dalessandro's, John's Roast Pork, and Ishkabibble's just to name a few, Angelo's Pizzeria is being mentioned more and more as the best cheesesteak in Philadelphia. Angelo's, as its name suggests, is known for its pizzas. But it's also known for excellent Philly cheesesteaks with melty and creamy Cooper Sharp cheese. The place is takeout-only, with no seating on premises. Despite this, the line is literally down the street and around the block, even in bad weather! People commonly wait over an hour just to get their hands on one of their famous cheesesteaks.
Is Angelo's Pizza Philadelphia's best cheesesteak? I've had many great cheesesteaks in Philly throughout the years, having grown up in the suburban Philly area in South Jersey. I've had Campo's, Pat's and Geno's of course, and Sonny's as well. If so many people say Angelo's is the best cheesesteak in town though, you know I cannot resist trying it. I drove all the way down from North Jersey and made a whole trip out of it just to try it!

A must if you are doing cheesesteak runs in Philly. The pizza, idk i found it to be really good. Don't sleep on it it really is a good pizza pie, think Umberto's of New Hyde Park brick oven but with a slight dif taste of sauce. worth the trip to get these two items there.

    I was just there on Sunday (was in Philly for the weekend from north NJ as well). Line was crazy and the wait for the cheesesteak was an hour. One of the girls behind the counter actually told us to set a timer and just come back (they keep your sandwich in a warmer when it is done). I also got cooper sharp with fried onions and it was amazing! Pro tip: if you walk down the block towards what I guess may be part of Little Italy, there are some places with open air seating where you can eat. You will definitely need to sit. Not advisable to try and eat this standing!

As someone lived in or around Philly for over 20 years, this is by far the best cheesesteak I have ever had. I tried Dalessandro's for the first time a couple of days ago. Their cheesesteak is good too, but Angelo’s is on another level.

    Geno's has to be one of the absolute worst. They don't cut their steak at all. It's just sliced and not even thinly sliced at that. Pat's at least chops their steak. Both are nowhere near as good as other places. Geno's looks like something I would try feeding to a stray dog if I hadn't already seen how it doesn't look the least bit appetizing.

    I learned something new, scooped! That’s a good looking cheesesteak.

    I'm sure it's great but not worth the wait time. Try Lillo's in Hainesport NJ. I hear that's great. same style b probably use the same bread.

    angelo’s reminds me of modern pizza in new haven which is some of the best in the planet imo. it’s definitely preference, i’ve eaten a ton of nyc pizza as well having grown up in the nyc tri-state. haven’t been to brooklyn, but my manhattan spots: patsy’s, angelo’s, joe’s, sauce, 310 bowery , scarrs, williamsburg
