Philly Mag Lists 3 Roxborough Spots In Ultimate Hoagie Guide

ROXBOROUGH, PHILADELPHIA – Philadelphia Magazine is no stranger to making "best of" lists. And in its newest list three Roxborough delis made the cut.

It's new list, "Where to Eat Hoagies in Philadelphia: The Ultimate Guide," lists three spots in the 19128 ZIP.

The magazine says hoagies are the embodiment of three crucial Philly things: bread, Italian deli meats, and stuff you eat with your hands.

You can probably guess which Roxborough places made the cut.

Philly Mag tapped Lennie's Hoagies, Barry's Steaks, and Dalessandro's as the three best places for hoagies in Roxborough.

Check out what the magazine says about Lennie's:

Lennie’s has like a million different kinds of hoagies, scattered across a variety of menus, all named after movies or songs or neighborhoods or countries or former employees or songs or inside jokes. The place is just nine different kinds of bonkers, but a lot of the hoagies are really excellent. Just take your time, find the one that speaks to you, and go for it.

Here's what they say about Barry's:

There are so many things I love about this place: shredded lettuce, thick stacks of meat on the hoagies, lots of sandwich oil, Amoroso’s rolls, a cooler full of really good homemade sodas. Honestly, it’s the kind of place that should be used as the model for neighborhood hoagie shops everywhere. If I lived next door, I would weigh 400 pounds and be so happy about it. So next time the line is too long at Dalessandro’s, go here. There’s a pretty good chance you’ll never go anywhere else again.

And last but not least, Dalessandro's:

Everyone knows this place has the best cheesesteaks around, right? Well, they also do some of the best hoagies in town, prepared with the same amount of care and served with the same kind of weighty, messy goodness. Just know what you’re doing before you walk in: step up to the counter, order, step aside to wait, and pick up your sandwiches at the other end. If everyone could manage that, the line would move a lot faster and I would get my hoagies that much quicker. Thanks.
