"Empty Chianti bottles dangle throughout the old-school dining room and its vibe stays true to the working-class roots of this inner-ring suburb. Of course, we ordered the pizza and marveled over its tight, crisp edges and cheese pull worthiness, however, my dining companion took note of another beloved delicacy on the menu specific to Philly: a selection of hoagies. We settled on the Loui’s Special, which, instead of using a traditional hoagie roll, is constructed with thick, crunchy, buttery layers of Texas Toast, held together with melted cheese and filled with thin Philly-style strips of steak drenched in a tangy house barbecue sauce and offered with a side of coin-cut pickles." - Serena Maria Daniels
