It'z a Philly Thing, located in Bellevue, about 817 miles from Philadelphia, does its namesake proud.

The eatery offers a traditional cheesesteak on authentic Amoroso's bread rolls.

  • During a recent visit, Nate went with cheese wiz, while Adam opted for provolone.
  • Because we had a busy day of newslettering ahead, we did not add an order of the impossibly delicious fried cheese steak egg roll this time.
  • However, the watermelon lemonade was the perfect beverage to accompany the cheesesteaks.

Details: It'z a Philly Thing has a small dining space outside its permanent location off of Highway 70. The cheesesteak shop, which launched in 2018, also has a food truck.

The bottom line: Is it health food? No. Is it a perfect lunch? Yes, yes, 1,000 times yes.
