4 reviews for Gaetano's Steaks & Subs
Probably the best Italian delivery to Collingswood, This place runs a steady four stars but always falls a bit short of that fifth.
The cheese steaks are, as noted by previous reviewers, huge. Mini is like 10", and that's a good 10" long with a 4-5" diameter, so very filling even for a big eater like me. It should be noted that these rolls are Amoroso, and, as an extra bonus, are the sesame seed steak rolls. Among aficionados such as myself, truly the Holy Grail of sandwich rolls. (Yes, their hoagies come on these as well!).
Personal favorites include the Mr. Gee's Cheese steak, a bountiful compilation including green peppers, onions, pepperoni, and of course mounds of steak. I get mine on garlic bread (you have to ask for it) and with marinara sauce. It comes with a small complimentary defibrillator. Yum!
To go through the menu would take hours, but I've yet to have anything disappointing. Personally, I dislike wraps intensely as the flour tortillas stick to the roof of my mouth like peanut butter, but the Taco Salad Wrap here makes a little palate scraping well worthwhile. Yum!
Mozzarella sticks are also a pleasant surprise, as they are the large 1"x4" version versus spindly little fingers that turn out hollow when over fried. Chicken fingers also come with a great creamy honey mustard sauce.
So why not five stars? Slow delivery because of the popularity of the place (sometimes up to an hour) and some knocks on the pizza.
Now, understand that the pizza is the best around that delivers to Collingswood (at least, the best I've had) and they're great if you like extra cheese. I don't. I like extra sauce, pepperoni, and fresh garlic.
Stop cringing, the garlic's good for my heart and my cats don't complain.
They don't offer fresh garlic as a topping and extra sauce consists of one and a half ladles of sauce versus one ladle. TJ's in voorhees used to actually have little dollops of sauce on each slice, fantastic for those who love a good tomato gravy!
The wings leave a bit to be desired as well. Usually well to jerky in texture, with sauce poured over them before deliver. Not breaded at least. Poppers are cheddar versus cream cheese.
So in closing; steaks and hoagies are great, club sandwiches are tops, wraps are very good, and specialty pizzas, including the tomato pie, are delish. Be prepared for the occasional clinker item and 45-60 minute delivery and you're good to go!
I dont know who runs this place, but if the owners are anything like the delivery driver, hes an A-HOLE. I came into get pizza and left feeling insulted by this little punk kid who drives a beat up red sedan as a delivery car and starting cursing out about how some lady cut him off in traffic. "BITCHES CANNOT DRIVE!" he yelled right in front of me, a paying customer. It took all my will not to sock this little weiner in the face, but he has no idea how to be professional, polite, or anything but rude in front of the poeple that are the reason he even has a job.
This punk needs to be FIRED.
The food here is good, I cant complain. But the delivery guy is a little ghetto punk with a loud mouth who needs to be spanked. hard.
Youve lost a long time cutsomer, GAYATANOS.
They do have huge cheesesteaks here. But they are delicious (in that bad american food kind of way!) and I secretly look forward to eating one every year when we visit relatives here and then eating nothing but salad for two weeks after.
I have tried to finish the large-and came close, but been in serious gastric pain for hours afterwards. Split the large with a buddy and you'll be much happier.
They use really fresh sub rolls and are quite generous with the amount of meat they stuff into the roll. They send you away with lots of banana pepper rings on the side too. Yum!
I hit this spot for lunch once in a while. The cheesesteaks and grilled chicken sandwiches are very good. The portions can throw you off though, for instance a 'mini' cheesesteak is a large at most other establishments. A large? Forget it, you'll be eating for days!
