Overview

Founded in 1992 by Tony 'Luke' Lucidonio Jr., Tony Luke's began as a small sandwich shop in South Philadelphia and has grown into a nationally recognized brand. While the establishment is known for its cheesesteaks, many locals consider their roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone to be the true standout item. Tony Luke's prides itself on using high-quality ingredients, including freshly baked bread delivered multiple times daily. The original location maintains an authentic Philadelphia atmosphere, operating from a no-frills stand under the shadow of the I-95 overpass. Despite expanding to multiple locations and receiving national media attention, the original Tony Luke's continues to draw crowds seeking an authentic Philadelphia sandwich experience.
