Best cheesesteaks in our neck of the desert! Fresh, hot, and made while you wait. We order about 2x per month, which is very worth it.

A bit pricey for the quality and size of the sandwich. We went the morning of the Super Bowl so the wait was far longer than it probably normally is but was still very long. They prioritized phone orders to people waiting in the restaurant. The sandwich needed way more cheese because the meat wasn't very coated. Not a bad sandwich by any means, just not sure I'd visit regularly. read more

We had to try this place since cheesesteaks are one of our loves. This is a mom and pop shop with amazing service and good food. It was so packed inside, almost every table was filled! We sat outside since the weather was great. I got the 12" cheesesteak with provolone no onions please, with a side of fries, and a Dr. Pepper. The soda fountain must have been set up right, one of the best, sizzling, nose burning, bubbly sodas EVER. Ok, back the cheesesteak with provolone. It was GOOD beef flavor, melty cheese, and some mayo and BOOM. read more

This place was amazing. Very clean and inviting. Not only was the food perfect but the woman working was lovely and the customer service was top notch. My husband had a cheesesteak with wiz that melted in your mouth and I had the tuna, which was real albacore (not a mix). Both were great and we can't wait to return and try new menu items. read more

Came here for the first time for the cars and cheesesteak show. What better than the 2 together!? It was a good turnout of people. This place is a cute mom and pop spot. The cashier helped me with recommendations, she was super sweet! I got the 12in cheesesteak meal with fries and a drink. It was delicious! Cheesesteak was perfect and fries were nice and crispy. I saw on their menu they even offered banh mi, which is a Vietnamese sandwich which I plan on trying on my next visit. read more

A great cheesesteak, good French fries and a nicely appointed Philadelphia-themed restaurant make for a great lunch. This is a small, mostly takeout spot. The woman behind the counter is super friendly, and her family own and operate the place. Definitely recommend. Great experience. read more

Phila Deli - 12" Cheesesteak & Fries - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I have been looking for a GOOD Philly cheesesteak and I am happy to say, I have finally found one! So much so we have been back since we first went last week. I first wanted to address some of the concerns from other reviewers about "it went downhill" or "not liking the new owners". If the cheesesteak I had was "downhill" I'm not sure what uphill would I've been because this thing was GOOD. The meat was savory and delish. The cheese whiz. The onions. I mean, my mouth is watering now thinking about it. I also love that I can choose what cheese. White American, whiz, provolone, cheddar... but always stick with the classics kids. Also, the man I interacted with on both occasions was the most delightful human. Very kind, patient, informative, and remembered me a week later. We have had an OG cheesesteak, the Korean cheesesteak (which was delish), the Shazam, and the Banh Mi cold sandwich. Everything was great and it's our go to from now on. I would 100% recommend trying it! read more

Phila Deli never disappoints! We always get the cheesesteak, and it's consistently fresh, flavorful, and made just right. The portion size is generous definitely great value for the price. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and everything is made with care. It's become our go-to spot when we're craving a good cheesesteak. Highly recommend if you're looking for tasty food and fast, friendly service! read more

I'll tell you the ambience is great because it's really cute and clean. The customer service was wonderful but honestly, the prices of the food were so overpriced that I actually walked out and didn't even try the food. It just was way too overpriced. read more

Phila Deli is a small cheesesteak sandwich shop. You can dine inside at a few tables or outside at a few tables. Recently the ownership has changed and there are some new changes to the menu. Today the cheesesteak seemed the same as before. It's a good cheesesteak but I'm from Philadelphia so I expect cherry peppers and Philadelphia style bread. But still its a good sandwich. We tried the two Summer Specials The Albacore Tuna Hoagie and the Bulgogi fries. Both were VERY GOOD! The Tuna hoagie was very flavorful and delicious. I didn't mind it on that bread. I also really liked the bulgogi Fries. We got ours without the cheese and they were so tasty and the meat was very moist.....I think anyone would like them.....Maybe in the future they can add a bulgogi steak sandwich to the menu? I think it could be a hit! The old owners were very nice.......and we do miss them. And the new owners also seem nice so that is a win. The new additions to the menu really are very good! We wish the new owners best wishes! read more

Ahhh!! So so good. I love this place. The bilgogi fries.. so bomb. They even made my buddy a philly cheesesteak without bread. No questions asked read more

Phila Deli - Philly and a birch - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Most of these reviews are from before the original owners, who were from Philadelphia, sold the place to Asian owners. The new owner has kept all the original Philadelphia artifacts, but has no connection to the city of Brotherly love. He doesn't use rolls from Philly, claims he uses ribeye, took a two week class on how to cook cheesesteaks and had added several Korean dishes to the menu. He has kept most of the original menu in order to fool previous customers that the food they are eating is being made by a guy from Philly. In my opinion, this is a classic example of a bait and switch situation. He has also accused me of being racist because I pointed out he was Asian or a variation of Asian. The definition of authentic can be twisted in many ways, but being from Philly and making a cheesesteak at least gives the feeling of being authentic. This situation is just fradulant, but wait the food could actually be good anyway right? Read original "racist" review below. Have never been here, but not sure how much things changed since the Korean owners took over. There are several Korean things on the menu. I just went for the traditional cheesesteak with white American cheese, which was almost $14 for a small and only onions are included. They claim they use ribeye. Nothing really special about the cheesesteak except it was a bit salty and didn't have alot of onions.. It didn't do much for me, but if you had a craving, this could help one time perhaps, if you want to pay $15 for a basic sandwich. read more

A few weeks ago, we were back on the east coast visiting family. Hubby's family loves to get cheesesteaks on the Jersey Shore. We had them from two different places and were disappointed. They skimped on the meat and just really lacked flavor. Back in AZ, hubby was craving a cheesesteak, so I told him to do some research. He was checking Yelp and I told him to look for a place run by someone from Philly or look for reviews from people who used to live there. Anyone can make a steak & cheese sub, but there's something special about Philly cheesesteaks. He found Phila-Deli and between the reviews and the ownership, we decided this was the place we'd go. I'll say it right now - we'll be going back! Hubby got a regular cheesesteak and I decided on the one with sauce. First, there was no skimping on the meat. And it was flavorful. The veggies were a nice undertone, letting the meat shine. And the cheese and sauce blended so well. I was impressed that I wasn't getting a heavy tomato flavor but instead it enhanced the cheese flavor. And the roll was exactly what a cheesesteak roll should be. It was perfectly soft and cradled the filling beautifully. They are located just off the 101 at 59th Ave - not exactly in my neighborhood, but worth the drive. There's a small seating area inside, and black & white Philly photos adorn the walls. The owner is definitely from the Philly area and we had a nice chat with him. Very friendly and takes pride in his business. read more

Have been wanting to try this place for a while and was excited that I finally did. Food is great, the value is not. Got a CHEESEsteak and was charged an extra dollar for the cheese as well as an extra random dollar above the posted menu price. Also ordered a "large"cheese fries which weren't so large. All together, $22 for a 8 inch sandwich and side of fries. Good food but there are many more options out there to spend your hard earned money on. read more

Phila Deli - "Large" cheese fries. That is a standard dip cup for reference. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

This is a hidden gem!! Holy good cheesesteak! Everything is made to order, so they accommodate anything!! Rolls are soft, good seasoning on meat, good cheese pull, and they recommend adding marinara -- this was a first for me but I would do it again in a heart beat! Fries are crisp and delicious! Overall great lunch!! Can't wait to come back again! read more

AMAZING FOOD, Friendly staff (the lady there was super nice and helped me tremendously). The place was super clean and fun to look at inside and have great vibes and the again the food was superb. It was the best Philly or cheese steak I've had in Az. Thank you. read more

My new go to for sandwiches! The service is great, the staff are friendly, the place is clean, and the decor sets a nice vibe here. All the sandwiches ordered were delicious and flavorful!! * Philly Cheese steak * Meatball sub * Turkey bacon avocado sub * Bánh Mì * Korean Philly sub * Bulgogi fries! read more

Excellent sandwich shop! For a small sandwich shop in the strip mall it boasts tons of flavor in the steak and cheese sandwich. This was my first time coming by here as I was reading the Yelp reviews and it definitely didn't disappoint! I just got my order to go but there is room to sit down and eat inside if you want to as well. The service was fast and the staff was friendly. I'll definitely be coming back here to get another steak and cheese as well as try other options they have here! read more

Four-star experience passing through the area. Excellent customer service, clean environment, and very fresh sandwiches. (The gender-neutral restroom is clean and smells fresh.) I ordered against the norm so I can't speak to the cheesesteaks but my turkey-avocado with Swiss cheese was very good. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The owners get their bread from a local Italian bakery so it's very fresh. read more

My husband and I are both big fans of Philly cheesesteaks, we tried Phila Deli for the first time on a Wednesday afternoon and both left happy! Sandwiches were great (chicken OMG and beef classic), service friendly. I love crispy fries so loved these. Lots of people picking up while we were there. It's a smaller place so I can imagine a decent wait if there's a line but worth it. We will be back! read more

I was in the neighborhood & Yelp attracted me to this business ! $19 for a small steak & cheese combo ( chips & fountain drink ) it was just ok overall. The steak needed salt & pepper and I waited like 13 minutes to get the finished product. For $19 I expected it to be better, especially at 1:45 pm midweek. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and funny enough it's right next to my gym! I'm a huge lover of Philly cheesesteaks but struggle to find authentic options that take me back to Philadelphia. This place absolutely does it!! The restaurant is small but very organized and clean. I loved all of the Rocky Balboa pictures and decor all around especially the old boxing gloves. As far as food goes, the regular Philly cheesesteak I ordered was AMAZING!! Full of flavor, not super greasy, and serviced warm. I let my husband have half and he was happy and surprised at how good the cheesesteak was. We've tried many places, but Phil's Deli is now our go-to place for cheesesteaks! read more

A hidden gem! I was in the area did a Yelp search for something other than the typical fast food chain. This was a win! I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with mushrooms, onions, sweet peppers & provolone cheese. It was cooked to order and simply scrumptious! Stop in and support a small business that happens to be doing it big. The service was great. I would have shared a picture however it was piping hot and didn't want to put off tasting this delicious sandwich. This is all I got for you. The picture speaks for itself. It's all gone. I am going To depend on fellow Yelpers to get pictures of the food. Lol! read more

I haven't been to Phila Deli in a while. Went with my lunch crowd (6 of us) around 11:30. We had 4 orders of regular Cheesesteaks. 1 with cheese wiz, 1 with mozzarella, and 2 with provolone. @ orders of Cheesesteaks with marinara sauce.1 with mozzarella and one with provolone. We all had fries and a drink. The consensus was unanimous. Very good sandwich and fries. The owner was friendly and informative. Best Cheesesteak in the area. read more

I hate to do this, but sometimes it just Hass to be done. The guy seem like a really nice guy and then you can tell it to a mom and Pop small business. I would love to support it but this Hass to be one of the worst Philly cheese I've ever had, it was so over seasoned with salt it burnt my mouth. The bread was so soggy it was disgusting. The fries were the kind that were battered and over salted not good. It also took way too long for one sandwich I would never go back. Not sure how it could possibly have 4 1/2 star reviews. My mouth is still burning even though I after I've left this place from all the salt. read more
