Del Rossi's - Fantastic!! 9.5 Cheesesteak

The expectations coming into this visit were through the roof. Del Rossi's is often called the best cheesesteak in Philly and on almost everyone’s top 5 list.  It DID NOT disappoint. 

The roll, baked in house, was fantastic, right out of the oven with the exact right crunch.  The amount of meat was perfect, some other top-rated ones had a lot of meat, sometimes too much, not the case here.  When first looking at it, it seemed like the onions would overpower the flavor, but it didn’t.  Each bite was an almost perfect mix of meat, onions, cheese and roll.  In the end, the roll was truly what made it great. The meat wasn’t the absolute best I have had (it was very good), Verona and Johnny’s had more flavor, but the mix of all the key ingredients on the amazing roll showed me why Del Rossi’s has so much hype.  And the hype is absolutely warranted. I didn’t have any nits to pick with this one.

It is really hard to compare to my current top 2, Johnny’s in Bryn Mawr and Verona in Maple Glen (we haven't officially reviewed Angelo's yet), and while I will likely get some hate for it, I cannot put it #1 over Johnny’s and only a fraction over Verona. The fact is, we are beyond lucky to have so many options in the city and suburbs that are all incredible. 

It earned the strong A with a 9.5 score. It was completely worth the 45 minute drive in traffic and I will 100% go back.
