completely agree! John’s roast pork with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone (and ok, get a cheese steak and share half of each;) and John’s water ice (not related) in the Italian Market for water ice. Center City Pretzel for soft pretzels (NO to cheese steak fillings) which is also in the Italian Market. Actually, the Italian Market for numerous amazing items. We also have an amazing Mexican presence. Try South Philly Barbacoa, they have an amazing story. Tomato pie at Sarcone’s bakery ( which has rolls and bread, not sweets) Isgro’s for ricotta choc chip cannoli.
