The 10 Best Cheesesteaks In Philly, Ranked - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"South Philly's Nipotina makes a lot of great sandwiches, but it's The Eye that we just can't quit. It’s juicy with ribeye, but the toasted roll never gets soggy. The chopped onions have bite, and work nicely with the rich, melted cooper sharp. You can customize it with about 100 different toppings, and we plan to try them all." - candis mclean, alison kessler

The Best Cheesesteaks in Philly

"This new addition to South Philly has given diners several tasty ways to enjoy this Philly classic. For devout meat-lovers, try the “eye” version of this Philly delicacy (ribeye steak, cooper sharp American, fried onions on a Liscio’s Bakery roll) or try their vegan version (made with vegan beef, portobello mushroom, caramelized onions, and vegan cheese) that’s just as impressive." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

The 15 Best Lunch Spots In Philadelphia - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Sure, there are lots of places to grab cheesesteaks, cutlets, and meatball sandwiches. But a rare few also have an open, airy dining room to enjoy them in. South Philly's Nipotina makes every kind of stacked sandwich you might have a hankering for (including those of the vegan variety), along with delicious fried sides to enjoy in-house. You're gonna need at least one of The Eye (their classic ribeye cheesesteak), but the move is to come with a few friends and share a smorgasbord of sammies." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler

Nipotina Sandwiches - Review - South Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"If you live in West Passyunk, you should make yourself a regular at Nipotina. This cash-only corner shop—which comes from the team behind Slice and P’unk Burger—makes stacked versions of every kind of Philly sandwich you have a hankering for (cheesesteaks, meatball and sausage, breakfast, cutlets, and vegan substitutions for many of the above). photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo The ingredients are fresh and the options are (nearly) limitless, but they’re not created equal. Try the Eye, a gooey, meaty ribeye cheesesteak with Cooper Sharp, and the Nipotina, which layers fried red peppers and salami over the crispy, not-at-all-greasy chicken cutlet. The chicken cheesesteaks, however, live on the border of sog city, and you may wait upwards of 45 minutes to receive them (for the smoothest experience, and to pay with a credit card, order online ahead of time). If you’re not looking for sandwiches, well, you’re gonna have a tough time in this town. But at least in this shop, you can also get delicious fried sides, an assortment of pickles and peppers from Zayda’s in Mayfair, or choose from a few salads (if you prefer your meats over iceberg). Even a regular needs to change it up once in a while. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo Food Rundown photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo The Eye It’s rare that we add a cheesesteak to our “best of” list, but this one went straight to the top. It’s juicy, but the roll never gets soggy. The chopped onions have bite, and work perfectly with the rich, melted Cooper Sharp. You can customize it with about 100 different toppings, and we plan to try them all. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo The Hippie Chic We want to like this chicken cheesesteak. It’s the most intriguing thing on the menu—bacon jam and goat cheese?—but packed in with the hot chopped chicken it becomes a melty mess with hard-to-distinguish flavors. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo The Nipotina This sandwich is crispy, tangy, and bright. A perfectly fried cutlet is topped with fried red peppers, chewy fried salami, and a chipotle mayo. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo The Caprese This crispy chicken cutlet is topped with melted mozzarella, juicy roasted tomatoes, arugula, and balsamic. The textures are all great together, but the combination of the tomatoes and vinegar leaves it all a bit too sweet." - Alison B. Kessler

Probably the best philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich ever tried. The service excellent, the place is clean. (Cheers from Hungary 🇭🇺)

Thank god for Nipotina! Ive been searching for a proper gluten free roll for a cheesesteak for some time now. Having Celiac can make finding sandwiches hard but this place makes it easy. They even have gluten free cutlets and a dedicated fryer for certain apps. Would recommend! Cant speak to the atmosphere of the place, got delivery!

I was craving a delicious sandwich and a friend recommended Nipotina. I ordered The Nipotina and The Eye and they were both so delicious! You can really tell they use high quality, fresh ingredients! I ordered a pick up online and my order was made very quickly, which I appreciated. The inside of the restaurant is very nice and clean. I’ll have to dine in the next time I’m in Philly! I’d definitely recommend getting a ribeye steak sandwich and a cutlet sandwich so you get the best of both worlds! Thank you Nipotina!

I discovered this place based on a recommendation from a coworker who lives nearby. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, accompanied by soothing music and friendly smiles. I decided to try two different sandwiches, namely "The Slice" and "Everyday I'm Truffling," and both exceeded my expectations. The sandwiches were absolutely amazing! The food was incredibly fresh and prepared to order. Each ingredient tasted as if it had been carefully chosen by the skilled chefs. With a wide variety of options available, even the most selective eaters will find something to satisfy their cravings. From breakfast items to cheese steaks, chicken cheese steaks, chicken cutlets, and a delightful selection of vegetarian sandwiches, there is something for everyone. If you're in the area, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!

Just checked this place out today for the first time. Always looking for a good take out sandwich spot in the neighborhood and my wife recommended we give Nipotina a go. Went with a classic cutlet sando and some fried mozz and they both hit the spot. Will definitely be back to try some of their more elaborate and unique offerings. The inside is clean and inviting as well if you are looking for a sit down experience. 5 stars!

Best Cheesesteak!! Brought my husband to Philly for his first cheesesteak, and saw this place in a google search- so glad we checked it out! Tots were delicious with their chipotle sauce and The Eye sandwich was perfect. My vegetarian mom, enjoyed the vegan version. Highly recommend. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day before the airport. Service was friendly, accommodating and speedy; the restaurant was clean and modern.

We love to try sandwich shops in Philly, and this was our first time at Nipotina. Such a cute place to eat! We were greeted by super friendly staff, who answered all our questions, and was very attentive. I got the P’unk cheesesteak which had delicious fried onion rings on it and smoked Gouda cheese. The roll was seeded, soft and fresh and the signature sauce was spot on! My husband got the Millie hoagie. It was packed with delicious Italian meats and sharp provolone cheese. My son got the Little Louie cutlet sandwich. The broccoli rabe was done perfectly, the chicken cutlets were moist and tender! I even tasted my son’s girlfriend’s vegan cheesesteak, and it was actually really good. We can’t wait to try all the other delicious sandwiches on this menu! I took off one star from atmosphere just because it was super cold in there, lol

Been coming here just recently this year; I’ve lived around the area for a couple years and never tried Nipotina. Please give them some love; their food is amazing and I keep ordering the same hangover cure all the time. Great sandwich; solid food! High recommend.

Everything I've ordered has been delicious. Highly recommend every sandwich--no joke. Deli, cutlet, chicken steak, cheesesteak, veggie--between me and everyone in my family we have had most of the menu and it is all delicious. The perfect beach day food (let's be honest, you're eating it in traffic on the parkway)

Quick and easy, i ordered online and pickup time was about 20 mins. Got there and my order was ready, piping hot . I will say there was a weird smell, it just did not smell like food was cooking at all when i walked in. My sandwich was amazing though lol. Most likely would not sit in and eat.

Amazing food - layers of flavors, delicious vegan options too! I highly recommend that you work your way through the menu and try everything. Enjoyed the Meatballs My Way sandwich today. Absolutely add on an order of fries - skinny hot & divine. Daniel is very friendly & attentive. His level of customer service elevated our entire experience!

Nipotina is a new hot spot one block from my house, and I'm not mad about it. I've tried a bunch of their options, including the eye, hippie chick, caprese, and a few of the egg sandwiches. I super appreciate that they have gluten free chicken cutlet and gluten free bread. This is major! Every sandwich I've ever had here is absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned, fresh ingredients, great portions! I really love this place, their location and the speed in which I can order and get food into my face hole. Honestly 10 stars. Ok maybe 9.5. I do have 2 small gripes and they're probably only gluten free related but I'm hoping if I mention them, I can truly have a 10 star experience. 1. The chicken cutlets are thin, (not a problem for me at all) and because of that, the corners of the cutlets are usually overcooked and pretty tough. 2. The gf bread sucks. Since I have to order gf bread, I have no choice but to pay extra. Since it hold my sandwich together, I do eat a few bites of it, but I throw out at least 75% of it. Please, please, please find a place that makes homemade bread because I'm assuming this garbage is frozen and it just tastes bad, bringing the whole sandwich down a bit. OK thanks, love ya, bye!

Order delivery. Sandwiches were delicious. The Roe was huge and filling. The chicken parm was very good. Lastly, the cheesesteak was right up there with some of the best I've had. Steak was tender, cheese was melted in, and the bread was soft. Overall, excellent and highly recommend.

Food is delicious. Great fun sammys. Many vegan options. There is not parking and it is cash only, but if you're prepared, it's an awesome place.

I've eaten here twice, both times it was exceptional. We are snobby about cheesesteaks. If you want to get a table and eat your cheesesteak, as opposed to picking it up somewhere.. Nipotina is the place to go in S Philly. Also had a bacon, egg and cheese on a long roll... best breakfast sandwich i've had in a long time. Great prices and service.

The ambience was great, the perfect example of a little Italian sandwich shop. Service was good, but a little bit of a long wait though. It was worth it because the Cheese steak was out of this world!

Yum! I am so happy I tried Nipotina because it was delicious! At first, the prices are kind of high but honestly it is very worth it and the quality is there! I got 'The Slice' with chicken cutlet, fried mozzarella, marinara, arugula. It was flavorful and delicious and I was able to save some leftovers for later due to the size of the entire sandwich. I also got a side of fries, which I could maybe have done without. Nipotina also offered breakfast items, which I am excited to try. The staff were friendly and the sandwich was made relatively quickly. There is space to dine in, which is nice, but I did choose to take mine to go and eat at home. FYI, cash only, but they do have an ATM. Overall, I highly recommend Nipotina and I will be back!

I came here to grab some sandwiches to bring to ARS brewery. If you don't want to pay with cash, you can order online for pickup. I highly recommend ordering through the website because you can customize your sandwich by adding or removing more items . For example, for my chicken cutlet sandwich The Slice, I removed arugula and added eggplant. It was messy but delicious. The eggplant was thick, cutlet was crispy, The guy at the counter was super courteous and friendly.

Came here for lunch today because of their selection of vegan sandwiches. As a non vegan, I opted for the Hippie Chic with bacon jam, chopped chicken, goat cheese and arugula. I was expecting the chicken to be chopped more but it was still quite tasty. The bacon jam was pretty sweet but the peppery arugula and creamy goat cheese helped balance it out. I had high hopes for the fried pickles since they have a bunch of pickles on the menu, but they were just okay (I personally prefer breaded vs battered). The fries and tots were decent. The vegan sandwiches were delicious as well. Service was fast and friendly. But keep in mind they are cash only!! There's an ATM on site for you

Great location. I could not wait to get a sandwich here. This family owned business is in addition to Slice and Pun'k which are constantly delicious. Beautiful exterior and interior. Spacious Ample seating or take out. Rewards program. Cash only unless you place an online order via the website. I ordered the Hottie (vegan on a gluten free roll) for takeout. I absolutely love love love their fries. I am looking forward to trying another sandwich, with fries of course.

My review is for takeout sandwiches from Nipotina. The online ordering system is easy to use and food was hot and ready as soon as I arrived. The meatball parm was absolutely delicious - so much cheesy goodness. We also enjoyed the Spinner - chopped chicken, cooper sharp, bacon, ranch and fries. It was delicious, but super heavy - would definitely recommend splitting this one with someone if ordering. Will continue to order from Nipotina and would like to try one of their salads and deli sandwiches next time!

I got a chicken Caesar sandwich, the bread was good but the fried chicken cutlets they used were greasy, overcooked, and tough. Pretty disappointing considering all the other good reviews and the hand-crafted sandwich claims.

Different cheesesteak #1115 in the last five years. I had a guest eater so I got a cheesesteak with mushrooms and a little louie. I liked the place, the names of the sandwiches and the moist half of my cheesesteak. The cheesesteak was seasoned very well. The moist seasoned half of my cheesesteak was very very good. The rest, no. The broccoli rabe on Little Louie was difficult to eat. Little Louie was a big disappointment.

Open at 8:30? I stood in the cold and waited. At 8:40 the worker came, went inside, then locked the door behind them without responding to my question "hey are you opening?" Didn't offer for me to wait inside, didn't open the restaurant on time, completely ignored me. Also, I've had food there before. It's overly salty and not very good. There are way better hoagie/sandwich places in Philly.

So Happy to find a place that offers many GF options My Hippy chic hoagie was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to try the GF chicken cutlet

Best spot in Philly to get a delicious sandwich. Plenty of options to choose from, but I recommend the Nipotina itself. Lovely service as well and a great place to sit down and enjoy your meal and your time. Also don't worry about getting a side, you'll be filled to the brim with the sandwich alone .

Walked in and it was pretty roomy cozy vibes. Plenty of windows to get natural sunlight in. Walked in and put in my order, the front end cashier was friendly. I ordered the Nad and it came out within 10-15min. Delicious, you can taste everything and the bread was crusty and chewy how i like it. The cutlet portion was perfect, the cheese pull of the mozz was photo worthy. Cutlet, mozz, hot honey, arugula and prosciutto. For my preference I proud would of like a balsamic vinaigrette with pepper flakes. The hot honey was too mild for me. The shop is on my way to the gym and parking was pretty easy. Highly recommend!

I try a new place for cheesesteaks every year when I visit Philly and this is by far the best I've ever had. Fiancé is from Philly and a hard critic of cheesesteaks. We both had The Eye and a side of onion rings to split. Service was fantastic - friendly and quick. Cute and clean sit down service. Nipotina will be going on the repeat list for sure - highly recommend! All sorts of other styles of cheesesteaks and other food options to include vegan and gluten free if you're looking for that. (Ate the entire sandwich before thinking about taking a picture - sorry not sorry.)

We ordered the little louie and slice for delivery to point breeze. The sandwiches arrived in less than 20 minutes. Both sandwiches were delicious. The bread was soft, fresh and tasty. The little Louie was my favorite but the fried cheese (giant mozzarella stick) on the slice was yummy. The chicken cutlets were the perfect thickness and cooked to perfection. I cant wait to try this place again. I highly recommend.

I stopped in to grab a menu and next thing I knew I was eating in! I got the chicken cutlet sandwich with red, roasted peppers and provolone cheese. The bread was so good. Everything was delicious down to the thin fries which are my favorite. Great service .. the food didn't take long at all and the inside is so nice , clean, open and very comfortable .. I cannot wait to go back!! I'm so happy there so close to my house .. the women at the counter was so friendly I highly recommend this place!!

In town for a business trip and looking for a good local place to eat before our next event. We found this gem of a restaurant. Wait staff was friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic. My colleague and I each ordered The Eye and a side of fries. Small interior which could limit seat availability, but we sat down without a wait. Would highly recommend this place.

Great food--gluten free & vegan options too! And for those not so vegan folks/--the bacon (the really thick good bacon), egg, & Cooper sharp cheese was amazing!! Clean, helpful staff, and plenty of seating , with reminder that it is cash only. I came back with more /a second round after tempting folks back home. Good coffee too!

Nipotina is bomb! Great cheesesteaks, hoagies, and side/drink options. Quality ingredients and a friendly and helpful staff. It's cash only but you can use your card for online orders and walk in to pick them up. They have my favorite ice tea and I stop by at least once a week! I love trying new items each visit and I haven't met anything I didn't enjoy. Great spot in the neighborhood.

I've had The Eye cheesesteak twice and it's great! Good flavor and very fresh; good roll. However, my mom had a chicken cutlet today with fried onions and the cutlet itself was extremely dry and not fresh. It's super thin and we like thin cutlets, but the chicken was also really tough. It just didn't live up to the way it's advertised as being fresh (not that we expect them to start a cutlet from scratch the moment it's ordered, but this seemed a few days old for sure). Although I love the cheesesteak, the sandwiches are overpriced for what they are. A cheesesteak shouldn't be $14 and the chicken sandwich was comprised of very little chicken to be costing $13 and up. I know it costs a lot to run a business but seems a bit overpriced for what you get. We ordered fries too which are $7; nothing special. They were completely soggy once we got them at home but that was due to the packaging. Anyway, I think the concept is great and just think a few things could improve.

I ordered the lunch special - any sandwich with fries. The regular price of the fries is $7 so I wanted to try this out with the special. I ordered the Eye for myself and the Turkey hoagie for my husband. the bread is soft, fresh and chewy like I enjoy...the beef and the cheese tickled my palate and I was only disappointed that I didn't make certain to ask to not salt the steak. The provolone and Dietz and Watson meats were great. Fresh, provolone was perfect - I hate provolone hubby loves it! Tasting Nipotinas' provolone had changed my mind. i love french fries. Had they not come with the special I would request a refund. I live very close to the eatery and for them to be flaccid and oily with no taste at all was very disappointing to me for such a costly french fries order. I'm glad the place is expensive. This gives me hope that our neighborhood won't be overrun with rift raft. The store across the street from them has that market cornered with rift raft and unsavory characters all hours of the day and night. Overall, I give them a 7 out of ten. The fries were very disappointing I had to air fry them and add a lil parmesan to spruce them up Still threw them out.
