Cosmi's Deli • 1932

The Chicken Cutlet Lagasse—prosciutto, long hots, sharp provolone, and broccoli rabe piled on a seeded Carangi roll—draws crowds to this grab-and-go corner deli where Cosimo Quattrone started slicing hoagies in 1932. A two-time winner of Philly Magazine's Best Cheesesteaks, this unassuming South Philadelphia spot still turns out sandwiches with the same no-frills intensity that made it a neighborhood legend across nearly a century.
