Amoroso rolls, Chipped Beef, real cheese, tastykakes, Sandel Peppers. Try the King of Philly, I get mine with mushrooms.

Very, very tasty but not a lot of sub for the money, and even their large is not large enough. 2) Leone's Sub & Pizza In Somerville, 294 Broadway on Winter Hill. There is not a high cheese to meat ratio, so you might want to ask for extra cheese. 3) Bob's Imported Food Store & Catering 324 Main St in Medford. Lots of size options with a choice of regular sub roll or a scali sandwich roll 4) D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches This is a local sub chain with a solid steak & cheese offering.

Also - pick a random pizza place and you'll more than likely be OK (though no where as good as TL). And, having lived in the Boston Area for several years, there is no decent cheese steak in the region. The meat is bland and they get served on glorified dinner rolls. I once asked if there was anyplace to get a good, crusty, roll and I was asked, "You mean you want stale bread?" The roll makes a cheese steak as much as the meat and cheese (though, 'wiz steaks make me rather ill). If the steak is dry - ketchup is a good solution. And here I gave up fried food for Lent..

It's the best cheesesteak you are going to get in the bay area, and fortunately it's a mini chain. There are 10-20 locations throughout S.F. and the east bay. Looks like they are opening south bay and Sacramento too. As far as I know it's the only place in Cali where you can get tastykakes so if you are from the east and craving that then you know where to go. to Rob, I agree the Cheesesteak Shop is quite good.

Jim's is alright. The best cheesesteak is actually right outside the PA border in Claymont, Delaware. Take exit 5 off of 95-S and make a right. It's FANTASTIC. The place has been around for decades, has won magazine awards for best of Philly (including ESPN: The Magazine if memory serves me right), and developed an almost Soup Nazi-like quality and (GOOD) reputation. It's phenomenal. A small steak sandwhich eaten at 10am filled me up until breakfast the next day- and I'm a hefty guy! I know it's some travel from center city, but I swear you won't regret it.
