Roxborough Cheesesteak Shop Featured In 'Best Cheesesteak' Bracket

ROXBOROUGH, PHILADELPHIA — The debate of where to get the best cheesesteak will never be fully settled in Philadelphia.

Everyone had their favorites based on location, ingredient quality, wait times, and more factors.

But with March Madness in full swing, the Philadelphia Inquirer has launched another effort to crown the best cheesesteak in the city.

You can make your own best cheesesteak bracket now on the Inquirer's website.

And Roxborough-area residents have a local spot in contention for the title.

Dalessandro's is in the "North" division of the bracket.

Here's what the Inquirer says about the Henry Avenue spot:

Open since 1961, our algorithm determined this Roxborough shop as the top seed in this entire tournament. Interestingly, most people order their steaks with American cheese instead of Whiz. Also, differentiating itself from most shops, it serves beer.

In the first round, it's up against Joe's Steaks.

Other contenders are Ishkabibble's, John's Roast Pork, Angelo's Pizzeria, Jim's Steaks, Sonny's, and Campo's.

Voting in the cheesesteak bracket ends on April 3.
