Best Cheesesteak in Philadelphia · Philadelphia, PA
Dalessandro's Steaks has been a Roxborough cheesesteak landmark since 1960, at the corner of Henry and Wendover where thinly chopped ribeye is griddled, piled with Cheez Whiz or provolone, and stuffed into a seeded roll. Philadelphians argue endlessly about the city's best cheesesteak, and Dalessandro's is always in the conversation.
A neighborhood institution for over 60 years, Dalessandro's is the 2026 Centurion Award winner for Best Cheesesteak in Philadelphia.
