8 reviews for Pagano's Steaks
Paganos is pretty good, I must say.
If you like real cheeseasteaks then you will like these, if you like Geno's, stick to Geno's.
Lots of free huge peppers and zesty pickles.
Enormous sandwiches.
u gotta get a hoagie not a cheesteak.
That's mistake # 1
then load up on the pickles and sweets peppers. Its impossible to eat it with one hand, gotta cradle it like a baby! two-handed!
Paganos is ok. I don't like the fact they put the meat on top. The steaks are the best
It's the perfect place if you want to pig out. Lots and lots of meat on their hoagies and steaks. The wait staff is hilarious and a little rude at times, but they always get the orders right. Their hoagies are serious belly fillers and for my taste, a better choice than the steaks. But the steaks are otherworldly. Unlike most other spots around town, you have to eat a Paganos steak while sitting at a table and usually with a fork.
My absolute favorite place to get cheesesteaks and I love cheeseteaks a lot. They pack the sandwiches with meat and the bread is always soft and fresh. The aroma makes your mouth water even before you can taste it. I also like that they chop up the meat thinly instead of leaving it chunky.
If you're out and are planning on getting something quick to go, this is the place to go. Get a movie and make a night out of it. Very competitive prices, and it'll hard to be disappointed.
Pagano's has the worst Cheesesteak in Philly! I don't know how it got such a great reputation. Why is it so awful you ask? Well let me break it down for you. They use a very cheap grade of meat and when they cook it, they chop it up so fine that it becomes pulverised till it's like the consistency of baby food. It's chopped and grilled to death! Pagno's gives you a lot of meat-which is what the budget-minded consumer loves, hence the reputation. But again it's a cheap grade of meat so I'm definitely not feeling it. Then they use a regular Amoroso roll! And any Philly sandwich aficionado will tell you that this roll will not stand up to a lot of cheap meat. The result is a sloppy, gooey, smelly hot mess. I ripped it, so skip it!
This is my number two place for Cheesesteaks. It was a tough decision but, I think that it really is just a little bit inferior to the Explorer's Den ( check out that Yelp for details).
Pagano's delivers gigantic rocket sized sandwiches which are flavorful. At times, depending on the grill chef, they go beyond the tasty limits of the incredible price deal and reach near semi-idolic status. THIS is a darn good steak sandwich and I just wish the Best of Philly would stop only checking the places in South Philly for truth in between the buns!
Pagano's is my absolute favorite place to buy a steak in Philly. They kinda taste like one of the well mentioned South Philly steakhouses, specifically the one on South St.......except Pagano's steaks have more flavor IMO. The price is pretty reasonable and you get a ton of meat in which I love to watch them as they cook said meat. Even their pickles are my favorite pickles to get from philly LOL.
The only downfall I'd say, for me personally is the meat, sometimes it's just way too much and I'll end up taking half of it off which isn't a bad thing being I can decrease it to my liking:) But for those who also enjoy steaks but would like a little less meat that's something to consider. Don't ask me why I've never asked them to simply put less meat on it!
