"It may look like a simple corner store, but don’t sleep on Cosmi’s. Their most loved sandwich, the Godfather, is a behemoth, with sliced prosciutto and soppressata, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, green olives and topped with extra virgin olive and balsamic on a hoagie bun. There’s also a cheesesteak version for the very ambitious." - Annemarie Dooling
"Cosmi’s offers excellent traditional hoagies featuring sliced Italian deli meats and cheeses." - Regan Stephens
"Like all good sandwich shops, this Dickinson Narrows corner spot believes in big portions. So you'll probably only need one or two cheesesteaks for a picnic or tailgate with a few friends. Each one is oozing with american cheese and thick, quality steak. If you want to stray from the classic, top yours with broccoli rabe. Just prepare to eat it on a plate the size of a shield (or deal with a bunch of meat on your shoe)." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Cheesesteaks in this town are sacred, and choosing the place to spend your money on one can be a bigger show of trust than having your friend park your new car. It won’t be a wasted journey if you get one from this Dickinson Narrows corner spot. They believe in big portions—you would probably only need one or two for a picnic or tailgate with a few of your friends—and they can be topped with things like grilled onions, peppers, and broccoli rabe. You may need a plate about the size of Captain America’s shield to eat one, but each sandwich is full of thick, quality steak that’s oozing with american cheese. " - Candis R. McLean
"At Dickinson Narrows’ Cosmi’s Deli, juicy slabs of pork are layered with your choice of marinated broccoli or spinach, sweet provolone cheese, and packed in a seeded or seedless hoagie roll. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure roast pork experience—go with rabe and a seeded roll for slight bitterness and a nutty crunch, and spinach and a regular roll for something richer." - candis mclean
