Philly-NY Fusion Eatery Coming To Gloucester Township

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — The Johnny Longhots menu offers a crossover between cuisine from New York and Philadelphia, and it's taking over South Jersey. The eatery plans to open another location in Gloucester Township.

Johnny Longhots is "coming soon" to The Shoppes at Cross Keys, the shopping center announced. With offerings including cheesesteaks (in proper Philadelphian, just called "steaks"), pizza and stuffed longhots, Johnny Longhots describes itself as "where New York meets Philadelphia."

"Longhots" refer to Italian long hot peppers — a lengthy, skinny pepper with a bit of kick that's popular in Philadelphia.

Johnny Longhots has a handful of locations in the region, including restaurants in Deptford, Marlton, Hainesport and Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania.

It wasn't immediately clear when Johnny Longhots will open at The Shoppes. Patch reached out to the Cross Keys Road shopping center but didn't receive a response.

But Johnny Longhots is among several businesses planning to open in the shopping center. Cookie chain Crave Cookies is setting up shop there, as well. Read more: 1st Crave Cookies Location Coming To South Jersey
