Pagano's Steaks
Around since 1959, this West Oak Lane spot is the place to go for a beefy cheesesteak. Here the long Italian roll is suffocated by such a large mound of meat that if your mouth had its own inner monologue, it would probably say something like “we need a bigger jaw.” This also makes one cheesesteak perfect for two people, if you like a person enough to share juicy cuts of steak that get a tangy boost from a zigzag of ketchup. Packed to the brim with melted provolone, which is what we go for when we order it here, this is a cheesesteak that necessitates you eating some beef with a fork in order to physically be able to take your first bite.
