Porco's Porchetteria - Review - South Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Contrary to popular opinion, Philly doesn’t survive on angst. We survive onsandwiches. And Porco’s inSouth Phillyis one of the dependable shops we turn to when we need anything on a long roll or between two slices of bread. Sharing the same wall—and the same team—as Small Oven Pastry Shop, the window-service-only spot has over 15 sandwiches on the menu that can take you from anegg with basil aioliin the morning to a stuffedcheesesteakorroast pork(our favorite) at night. What makes this place so good is that the fresh-baked, soft, crusty bread makes each sandwich feel like a handheld victory. But filling them with quality thin-sliced pork, saucy meatballs, or earthy garlic sage sausage, is also key—not only to the shop, but to Philly’s core value of being sandwich-obsessed." - Candis R.
