Dalessandro's Steaks

Nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Philadelphia, Dalessandro's Steaks stands out as a true sanctuary for cheesesteak lovers and hoagie enthusiasts alike. This iconic spot specializes in serving authentic Philly cheesesteaks crafted from fresh-cut rib-eye steaks and generously piled hoagies that showcase the best of classic sandwich artistry. From the first bite, you’re immersed in the rich, savory flavors that have made Dalessandro's a neighborhood staple and a must-visit culinary destination.

The heart of Dalessandro's menu is undeniably the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich with Whiz and Onions. Imagine tender, perfectly chopped rib-eye steak mingling with melty Cheese Whiz and sweet, sautéed onions, all nestled in a soft yet resilient seeded bun.

For those seeking variety, options like the Cheesesteak with Fried Onions or the indulgent Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak promise bold flavors while staying true to Philly roots.

The hoagie selections here are equally impressive, with fresh-cut meats and carefully layered ingredients. The Italian Hoagie, loaded with sharp provolone, imported ham, capicola, and a mix of crisp veggies, strikes a perfect balance between hearty and refreshing. Guests can also tailor their cheese experience, choosing from classic American cheese to sharp provolone, or opting for the iconic Cheese Whiz, ensuring every sandwich caters to individual cravings.
