The Cheese Steak Shop

Pacifica outpost of the Bay Area cheesesteak chain, serving Philly-style sandwiches stuffed with grilled meat, onions, and cheese.

The Cheese Steak Shop in Pacifica makes a focused sandwich craving easy to personalize. Start with sirloin steak or chicken breast on an Amoroso's roll, choose your cheese, and decide whether grilled onions or hot and sweet peppers belong in the mix. We like the straightforward format and the number of directions it opens up without losing the cheesesteak at the center. Specialty versions bring in roasted garlic, mushrooms, barbecue sauce or pizza-inspired toppings. Vegetarian sandwiches combine ingredients such as spinach, mushrooms, peppers and cheese, while a Philly salad offers the steak-or-chicken combination over greens. Steak fries, curly fries and onion rings can complete the order. Located on Hickey Boulevard, this Pacifica sandwich stop is especially appealing when you know the kind of meal you want but still enjoy choosing the details that make it yours.
