As I’ve alluded to periodically, I keep a list of steak shops, pizzerias and other restaurants that I plan on visiting and posting about at some future point. One of the places that’s been on that list for a fairly long time is Gentili’s Pizza and Steaks of Exton, Pennsylvania. Exton is a bit ofContinue reading “New Pizza and Steak Shop Earns High Marks”

Reevaluating a Legendary Steak Shop
As I mentioned at the bottom of last week’s post, the people at Michelin recently put out new lists of restaurants in Philadelphia that have been awarded coveted stars and given special Bib Gourmand citations. I inadvertently overlooked Del Rossi’s, which was on the latter list in addition to Angelo’s Pizzeria and D’Alessandro’s. Both Angelo’sContinue reading “Reevaluating a Legendary Steak Shop”
Cheesesteak and Pizza Outing Cut in Half
Back in the spring of last year, I posted on what was then the hottest purveyor of cheesesteaks in the Philly region – Johnny’s Pizza of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. The steak I had there was good enough for me to rank it in the upper half of my top twenty list. Yet in light ofContinue reading “Cheesesteak and Pizza Outing Cut in Half”
Heading to South Jersey for a Steak and Burger
New cheesesteak shops open in the Philadelphia region with such frequency nowadays that it’s virtually impossible for me to keep up with all of them. One that slipped my notice until a friend invited me to meet him there for lunch last week was The Raging Bull in Pennsauken, New Jersey, which is only aContinue reading “Heading to South Jersey for a Steak and Burger”
Big Changes at a Legendary Cheesesteak Stand
In an effort to keep my list of the Philadelphia region’s top 20 cheesesteaks up to date, I’ve begun what will likely be a long process of revisiting the steak shops on it. My latest stop was at the renowned South Philly stand that provided the cheesesteak in the cover shot at the top ofContinue reading “Big Changes at a Legendary Cheesesteak Stand”
Change for the Worse
For the second time in less than a month, I revisited one of my top 10 steak shops after reading about a change in their business circumstances. In early August, I checked out Gazzos‘ new Ardmore location and found their cheesesteaks to be as good as ever. My second such recent stop occurred last weekContinue reading “Change for the Worse”
Elite Steak Shop Expands Without Slipping
When I last visited Gazzos Steaks in early 2023, they were serving cheesesteaks out of a food truck. It was a chilly winter day in Pottstown, PA, when I sampled one at a picnic table next to their kitchen on wheels. Regardless of the setting, it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever hadContinue reading “Elite Steak Shop Expands Without Slipping”
Expanding on the Cheesesteak Theme
It’s been a few months since my last cheesesteak post, so I already felt due for one when I came across an online rave for the steaks at Antica Pizza Co. of Warrington, Pennsylvania. That was all the enticement I needed to head north to Bucks County and check them out along with friends JohnContinue reading “Expanding on the Cheesesteak Theme”
My New Local Go-To Cheesesteak
A couple years ago I highlighted two cheesesteaks as my go-to options when the craving hits and I don’t want to leave my immediate area. Unfortunately, one – Johnny Paisano’s – has moved just far enough away to no longer qualify as being ‘in the neighborhood.’ The other was sold and the food, including theirContinue reading “My New Local Go-To Cheesesteak”
Juicy as Jaye P. Morgan
With the Eagles’ playoff seed locked in and the season’s final game being meaningless, my wife and I took advantage of a free Sunday afternoon to venture out to a pizza and sandwich shop that has been on my radar for a while. Pop’s Pizzeria of Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, has been receiving its fair shareContinue reading “Juicy as Jaye P. Morgan”
