Philly's Famous Cheesesteaks | Our Story
From Philly, To Largo
Three and a half decades ago, Paul came to Clearwater for the Phillies spring training & couldn't find an authentic Cheesesteak. Paul decided the Clearwater/ Largo area deserved the real thing — not an imitation, not a shortcut. That decision stuck, and so did we.
The Roll Makes the Sandwich
We were the first restaurant to import authentic Amoroso rolls straight from Philadelphia — because the bread isn't a detail, it's the foundation. Thinly shaved steak, Carmelized Onions, White American, Cooper Sharp, Provolone or Cheez Whiz, grilled to order: Philly natives actually approve.
The People Behind the Counter
You'll notice the energy the second you walk in. Staff like Gracie have built their own loyal followings because they treat every order like it matters — and it does.
More Than a Cheesesteak
The wings are crispy and have bold flavors, the hoagies are packed, and the homemade soup earns its own fans. Don't miss the Sweet Street Desserts like the white chocolate blueberry cobbler.
Where Clearwater/ Largo Comes to Eat
From first-timers to customers who've been with us for over 30 years, one thing never changes—they leave full, satisfied, and saying, "How did I not find this place sooner?" Discover the authentic taste of Philadelphia, right here in Largo.
Deep Fried Desserts
Variety is what sets Philly's apart from othe sub stores. Where else will you get Fried Cheesecakes, Fried Oreo's, Fried Twinkies & Funnel cake fries as a dessert?
Philly's Signature Sides
Skip the ordinary! Where else but Philly's can you find crispy Deep-Fried Seasoned Street Corn, our famous Cajun Fire Fries, and golden Onion Strings? These aren't just side orders—they're customer favorites that keep people coming back for more. Add one to your meal, or mix and match to create the ultimate Philly's experience.
The First Fry Reaction
We love watching people's faces after that very first garlic parm fry. One bite, and they understand why they're one of our most talked-about side orders.
