Jim's West is not only just the best Jim's, they also give you more meat than the other Jim's…read moreSteaks. (This one is the original!) Jim's West competes solidly for the title of Best Cheesesteak Joint in Phialdephia. Larry's, Max's, Dalessandro's and Chubby's...it doesn't matter! Jim's West is guaranteed to give you a heavy cheesesteak at a good deal. Real Amoroso rolls, traditionally wrapped, they don't skimp on any ingredients, they have Kosher Hoagies, and the Steak is even Halal!! Alhamdulillah! You can't top that apart from variance of luck. They're the only place to have the Banana Pudding Special (best banana pudding too), they have great Strawberry Lemonade with real strawberries in it!....and if that's not enough to sweeten the pot, they're the only place that offers the maximum variety of Cheese Options. They have Cooper Sharp sure, but they also have Pepperjack like a couple of the others do, and are the *only* cheesesteak joint to still offer Swiss since the pandemic. Cheese Whiz: Hit Or Myth is one of my favorite newspaper articles because Whiz is trash and American is the Philadelphia Style default. But at Jim's, whiz is different. It doesn't make your cheesesteak taste like macaroni, or plastic. Whatever whiz they're using is more like cheddar and enhances the flavor of the meat much like Provolone does. You can get spinach and broccoli on your Chicken Cheesesteaks, I love this kind of variety and I'm already planning to try this when it's time fur my next visit. If you don't want the steak chopped finely, just ask them not to. If you want it cooked as lightly as possible, just tell them! They are nice here and they will hook you up! Otherwise they are very consistent, they virtually never give overcooked steak. You can see how closely they pay attention to the grill as they cook and they actively toss away burnt bits of steak. I went here twice a day for over a week straight and got steaks from each cook at least once!! I believe in this joint. It has real history behind it as the 2nd oldest cheesesteak joint in Philadelphia, the first in West Philadelphia period. "New Ownership" but literally all the best staff from the old ownership. The same cooks, the same genuinely nice and friendly people that worked here since I was a kid. Know your roots. This place will treat you right.

Damn good delivery/takeout style pies, for a great price…read more I'm Philly born and raised, I bleed green, and even though I can't eat them regularly anymore because they'll kill me, I'm probably still at least 10 percent cheesesteak. That said, I think Philly, for the most part, has given up on corner store style pizza. Gourmet neopolitan descended pizza? We got that by the yacht load. But we all know that's too fancy for workhorse, blue collar, I used to have to carry boxes to save up money for my Playstation games kinda taste. I'm gonna give them their flowers this one time - NYC knows how to make cheap, solid, go to any spot and grab a slice and you'll be alright pizza. This is not something you can do anywhere in Philly. You gotta know your spots. Most places don't let their dough rise long enough to develop flavor, or they add a ton of sugar to their dough and or sauce, or they under bake everything to get the pies out faster. You know what I mean. You've been through this. You all have a spot where you're like "at 3 am after the club, sure. But sober?" For this reason, I learned to bake my own pies, at home. It's a multi day process. Make dough. Allow it to ferment in fridge for at least 24, but no more than 72 hours. Stretch, top, bake on a stone at 550F, and boom. The kind of pizza I'll enjoy sober. And Carter's is out here doing this for me! On a standard (I didn't ask for well done, I wanted to see how it would come out) crust, it comes out poofy, foldable, but able to stand up to its toppings. The dough i less salty than I would make, but plenty fine and full of flavor. Same with the sauce. The cheese pulls like a dream, and the pepperoni has just the right amount of grease. I think next time I will ask for well done, because this is the kind of crust where you get it a little toasty and whoooowheeeeee, we're gourmet now, guys and gals! You put this pizza in the dictionary and only internet nerds that no one likes would "well actually, pizza includes Chicago deep dish style" get outta here, nerd! We're talking workhorse pizza! I do love deep dish too so that's another conversation, but not the one we're having right now. Carter's - I salute you. You are my spot, right up there with Enjay's, for exactly what I want when I'm a little too lazy to cook, and want a delicious pie that I -never- question whether it's worth the money. And I haven't even partaken in your beer selection yet. Got-damn. I'll update this when I do.

For 15 women I ordered 3 pizzas: - Allegro veggie - Allegro house (pepperoni and ground beef, onions, green peppers, mushrooms I think) - Margherita We had a couple slices leftover and everyone enjoyed their pizzas. We also ordered a large greek salad and when i asked if it would be enough the friendly pizza person laughed. I understood when it arrived - it is the largest salad I've seen in a while. Could have fed 30-40 people! we had so much leftover and it was so generous with probably a dozen hard boiled eggs in it and a couple green peppers and all the rest. Delicious and so huge! Next time I need to cater a simple event I'll definitely turn to Allegro's!

The staff can be rough if you aren't sure of what you want, but generally nice when you arrive for pickup. The menu has all of your typical pizza shop offerings. On my visits I have ordered pizza, wings and cheesesteaks. The pizza is cooked on a conveyor oven. They offer pork and beef pepperoni. The pizza is very generic and simple, greasy pepperoni, stringy cheese with a tangy sauce. The dough wasn't chewy, but wasn't great. The large looks a bit small. The plain cheese pizza was similar to the pepperoni with obviously less grease. The wings were a good size, hot wing sauce was tasty and the meat was fresh. I would say that was the best of the three items I tried. You can get them in an order of 6 and up. The cheesesteak comes on an Amoroso roll. Those are often on the chewy side. I would ask for the roll to be crispy next time. The meat is finely chopped, with some grease and an ok amount of cheese. I think some extra cheese would do them better. Hot peppers were your plain old banana yellows. Overall I give this shop an OK. It's your average shop with fast service.
