Here's what Visit Philly had to say about the best place to order a Philly cheesesteak in Philadelphia:

"One of the oldest steak shops in the city, Cosmi’s Deli has the look of a corner market — and the cheesesteak cred of a champion. Dating back to 1932, this tiny corner store in South Philadelphia has won plenty of praise for its rendition of the Philly specialty, as well as its hoagies and roast pork, all served fresh, soft and packed with meat on long rolls from famous Sarcone’s Bakery. Grab a classic, a specialty steak like the Mexicano, Buffalo or spicy Diavolo, or Cosmi’s vegetarian variation, the Veggie Lovers Cheesesteak, with provolone, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, onions and sautéed green and roasted peppers."
