Famous roast pork sandwiches with broccoli rabe and provolone
"Tommy DiNic’s makes two versions of roast pork: one with sliced meat and another with Italian-style pulled pork. Though we prefer the latter, both are beautiful messes topped with broccoli rabe, provolone, and long hots. You're going to wait in line at this busy Reading Terminal Market spot. But the sandwich is worth the patience. If there's no seating in RTM, you can take this thing to go without worrying it'll sog and fall apart." - candis mclean
"We think it’s a sin that more people wait in line for cheesesteaks in RTM than they do at DiNic’s for one of their roast pork sandwiches. It’s like if a movie theater were showing Dune: Part Two and Waterworld and somehow Waterworld ran the box office. While this sandwich might be simple, with marinated roast pork, broccoli rabe, and sharp provolone on a white, seeded roll, it’s delicious and tough to stay away from once you’ve tried it." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Famous for its roast pork sandwich topped with broccoli rabe and provolone, repeatedly recommended as a filling, quintessential Philly lunch option and a reason for visitors to queue up inside the market." - Ernest Owens
"If you did any research before planning your trip, you probably learned that we have a lot of great roast pork sandwiches. The combination of slow roasted pork, garlicky greens, and melted provolone is as satisfying as watching an early 2000s romcom in jammies on a rainy day. Tommy Dinic’s in the Reading Terminal Market makes two versions: one with sliced meat and the other with Italian-style pulled pork. Though we prefer the latter, both are beautiful, juicy messes topped with broccoli rabe, provolone, and long hots. And if you need something sweet before you continue your touring, the oldest ice cream shop in Philly is on the way out." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"The Nicolosi family are Philly legends when it comes to fine meats, with their initial butcher shop opening in South Philly in 1918. Four generations later its stand in the Reading Terminal is a top Philly dining destination where they serve up its famous roast pork sandwich (once named The Best Sandwich in America)." - George Banks-Weston
