Newtown Square Deli Serves A Must-Try Hoagie: Philadelphia Inquirer

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA — You can get a decent hoagie just about anywhere in the Philadelphia region.

But where are the best hoagies?

The Philadelphia Inquirer recently released its list of "The 20 best hoagies in Philadelphia."

"From decades-old delis meticulously maintaining their craft to the latest wave of practitioners pushing the boundaries of the category, the hoagie remains as vital as ever — which is partly why we’re still fighting about who does it best," the Inquirer staff wrote "These are the most remarkable places we’ve eaten a hoagie in the Philly region in the past year or so."

On the list is a Newtown Square deli.

Located at 3523 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square is A Cut Above Deli, which was featured on the list.

Here's what Craig LaBan, the Inquirer's premier food writer, said about A Cut Above:

Opened in 1995 by Michael and Traci Carneglia, who came from South Philly and South Jersey, it introduced Delco to the concept of seeded rolls. The signature Cut Above Italian is the local favorite for its dedication to imported meats (no Delco-style “meat wraps” of pepper ham here, sorry). But the ultimate can’t-miss order here is the hot beef hoagie, which Michael, who trained as a butcher, cuts himself from a steamship of prime roast beef and then dunks into a holy bath of dark, rich gravy that provides all the deep, rich, juicy savor the crusty rolls can hold.
