:yum: Have you tried a buffalo chicken pizza, or a cheese steak pizza? :yum:X2

Oh, yes.

Main Street Pizza and Kosmos Pizza in Norristown both do these varieties justice. Boston Style Pizza (I have no idea what makes a pizza Boston Style) in Lansdale does a great Cheese Steak 'za.

Main Street also has the delightful Chicken Cordon Bleu pizza.

I may have to order this when I get back to work, which will probably be some time next week.

Kosmos isn't in Norristown, it's in Jeffersonville, West by-god Norriton township on Egypt Road.

Neener, neener, neener.

Amadeos Too is in Jeffersonville also (although their cheesesteaks are perhaps not as good)...and the place formerly known as Patriot Pizza (I'll get the name if anybody cares) makes a very good pizza; I assume their steaks are good as well.

But Tony's Pizza and Pasta on Germantown Pike is to die for.

Swear to God: that's the name of the one place around here that I'll bother to order a cheesesteak.

The Tony's on Egypt Road isn't all that good for steaks. I hear the Tony's on Frankford in the Northeast is pretty good.

Flint 11-01-2006 03:35 PM

Tony's Pizza & Pasta in Arlington, Texas is as close as I've been to either one of those.

Do you have Texadelphia up there in Dallas, Flint? They're damn tasty.

Flint 11-01-2006 05:37 PM

Dallas...traffic...I tend to avoid. If there's one in Austin I'm likely to go, eventually.

Here's a video of Sam the Cooking Guy putting green peppers on his cheese steak. http://www.thecookingguy.com/cookbook/recipe.php?id=143
Don't let that stop you from trying his baked risotto though. :yum:

There are several. Hey, looks like some in Fort Worth, too.

Urbane Guerrilla 11-01-2006 08:45 PM

Ventura County, California, too. My former manager, rest his soul, was from Allentown, Pennsylvania, and was very picky about his Philly cheese-steaks. The only place he'd get them would be The Great Central Steak And Hoagie Company. There are several of them scattered around Ventura County. Of the lot, he preferred the cheese-steaks made by the one in Santa Paula. The one in Port Hueneme is the one handiest to me. It used to be the worst, but they cleaned up their act and now their sandwiches are good.

That's more like it. But... probably what will happen is it won't be "the way Tony's does it" and I won't like it...

Texadelphia: The Original Texas Cheesesteak . . . "Texas Cheesesteak" ??? What does that even mean ???

Amadeos Too has very good cheese steaks, but is weak on Pizza.

Via Venito, great pizza, moderate steaks, awesome water ice all year round.

The folks at Patriot were fantastic when they opened, but things tailed off quickly. They also had good coupons.

Greco-Roman in Jeffersonville has outstanding Baklava, really good pizza and stromboli and reasonable steaks. Check them out if you haven't given them a try yet. Avoid the Baklava at Kosmos, it's typically dry and stale.

Does Tony's Pizza and Pasta deliver?

Flint 11-02-2006 12:25 PM

The Tony's here in TX delivers, for whatever that's worth.
