This is not a pizza joint but Italian Done Right and the dining room is cozy but you won't care. Fair warning they are always busy but so worth the wait. Don Cheech (cheesesteak) plenty of meat, juicy, cheesy and the bread is oh so good, French fries are solid with or without the truffles. They make homemade Arancini and it's delicious as is their burrata caprese. Then there is the meatball salad with ricotta or their Ceasar salad are crisp and filling with house made dressings. Every pizza I have seen looks amazing but I haven't gotten to them yet. I had the gnocchi mi nini amazingly creamy and light and their eggplant parmesan the eggplants was perfectly crisp and cooked perfectly. No mushy eggplant here. If you have any room left (we had dessert first one day) the tiramisu is delicious and so worth every calorie. The servers are very nice and have not had any issues plus the owners are waiting tables too with them. Don't be surprised to hear Italian spoken here it just adds to the experience.

This is my new go to place for cheesesteak. You would never guess, but it's the most satisfying…read morecheesesteak I ever had. It is not your typical cheesesteak. I ordered a cheesesteak with Cooper Sharp cheese, fried onions , mayo and ketchup. It has a taste all its own. Very simple ingredients, yet a flavor that is richly satisfying. When you bite into it, you will close your eyes and say Ummm. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I ordered extra stuff because they made me feel so good . I got chips, soda, Italian cream cake, and antipasto salad. It's a nice little market, and they have a new customer in me. I'll be back for the hoagie next, but This is definitely my go to for a cheesesteak. I think what made it so good was it wasn't too greasy. Check them out.

I called in my order and the woman on the phone said it would be ready in about 20 minutes. I ordered two Hot Fuzz (one for my fiancé and his friend) and a Tuna Italiana. When I arrived, there were 4 customers inside waiting for their orders and browsing the massive selection of chips. Chubby's also sells beverages so you can make it a complete meal. Additionally, they serve breakfast sandwiches and are open 7 days a week! The Tuna Italiana sandwich really blew me away. The sharp provolone cheese, roasted red peppers and seeded roll made for a really nice flavor profile. Everything tasted fresh. They cut the sandwich in half properly so you aren't struggling to break it apart. Service was pleasant and fast, and prices are reasonable. It's slightly more expensive than Wawa but also more flavorful. Chubby's is my go-to now for deli sandwiches since it's in such close proximity to home.

Wasn't in the mood for a steak (I know, I know...don't crucify me) and I found Chubby's Fox Chase Deli on a google search based on where I was near and stopped in. The woman and man working were very nice. The shop is a tiny corner store with no seating so plan to grab and go. Got the "Turkey Italiana" which was turkey breast with sharp provolone, roasted red peppers, and garlic mayo on a seeded Liscio's roll (they had unseeded too if that's your vibe). This sandwich was excellent, I'm so happy I made this choice today. If you're up in the Northeast area and feeling a hoagie...this one is a winner. Absolutely Didn't Suck!

It's lovely Italian deli a block away from Rittenhouse square, where they have a wide assortment of fantastic sandwiches. I chose the Vesuvius today and what a treat it was. Bread is fresh, chicken cutlet crispy on the outside, and great veggies. I've had a few other sandwiches here and honestly, you can't go wrong. Highly reccomend the Soprano and Gabagool as well. All are big enough that I can eat half a sandwich for lunch and another for dinner. The people working there are also very nice and friendly. Sandwiches come with a free bag of chips and the staff often hand out some delicious bread pudding cups. Highly reccomend this place. Just wish the name was a tad more memorable as I can never remember it lol.

For…read moremonths, I have passed by and wondered what they serve inside without stopping in to see for myself. While trying to determine what I wanted to order for lunch last week, I took a look at the Yelp Page for Tortice's and saw some of the most mouth watering options ever. I could not decide between the Philly Special and the Rittenhouse. I went for the Philly Special because I was more in the mood for the sweet taste of a balsamic glaze and eggplant. I ordered my sandwich directly on the Yelp Page and it was ready when I got there to pick it up. The prices are super fair, I managed to get a drink and chips too for less than $25 for everything. The highlight of this sandwich was the chicken cutlet. I am PICKY when it comes to chicken cutlets. The seasoning here was absolute perfection. The portion was generous. I was full well past dinner time. The staff inside were very friendly and kind. I can't wait to return and try the Rittenhouse Sandwich next!

I was happy with the price. One meal here is about $12-$14 bucks depending on what meat you get. With appetizers around 2-4 bucks. The service was fast and easy. I called ahead for an 20 empanada order and everything was ready to go in the time that was stated and was amazing. I would say my only issue is the meat portion size is a little small for the amount of rice that is given. No pictures I just never think about it when i buy food or order.
