“ I have been eating here since they opened in 1989. I remember the original PaPa Guido. Sorry to hear about his passing last year. The new owners are making the very same cheesteak I have come to love for all these years. Strangely enough, there are not as many great sandwich shops lately. This place has the best cheesteak, just plump full and chopped and blended ribeye with the cheese and onions. Consistent every bite delicious and mushrooms too. The sandwich size is just awezome, the super 22-24" is reasonably priced and never forgotten. 35 years and still going. Thank you PaPa Guido. ”

“ Nothing bad to say about this place. Starting with the customer service, Ubaldo took my order by phone and didn’t rush me and explained everything kindly. We picked up the order and the staff was very pleasant and I enjoyed conversations with them. The place was clean and like any other pizza place I’ve been to. The food was delicious and prepared exactly how I requested. Thank you for your service! Everything was great! ”
