First time at Cosmi Deli but certainly not the last. Loved the Godfather sammy which is I guess sorta a copy of Angelos “Tony Head” which is garlic bread, Cooper sharp and long hots. The double meat on this Sammy for $3 was well worth it. Also added mushrooms, peppers and o ions. The Sammy was overflowing. Would get Buffalo chicken cheesesteak Sammy next time I’m back. Service was hospitable and friendly. I understood the current owner to say he bought the place in the 1980s but then sold it and then rebought it back in 2006 with different partners. And that it used to originally be a butcher back in the 1930-40s.

The veggie lover’s sandwich was good but I preferred the one with just grilled onions and peppers. We also got a macaroni cheese steak which was a big hit with the kids. We would return here. Just know there are no tables for dining in.

THE BEST food South Philly has to offer, hand down best burgers and hoagies around. HOWEVEVER.....it's near impossible to reach someone on the phone, takes at least 30-40x to get through to a human most times then when you do finally reach someone, the guy is rude and cocky, barks at you the whole time you're trying to order and rushes you. Also is a $3.50 delivery charge really necessary??? All the complaints aside if it's quality food you're looking for, look no further, just show up in person...you wont have a pleasant nor satisfying phone experience AT ALL!!

NOT WORTH THE HYPE. Save yourself some dollars. Ugh! I was so so excited to try this historic spot! First it's in my neighborhood walking distance and second, 90 years of history! BUT was unfortunately disappointed. It must have been an off day for them but my chicken cheesesteak hoagies had no cheese despite my ordering them with cheese. So sad! Funny because the folks preparing them even wrote on a hoagie wrapper what cheese each came with. But when we started eating the meat was DRY and flavorless. No salt either. I opened my sandwich flat and searched for cheese but couldn't find. For three cheesesteak hoagies (two of which were missing cheese) & average mozzarella sticks 6 pieces it was almost 52 bucks! Go figure...... What an unfortunate experience. There's nothing close to iconic, historic, or special about this place.

The menu is extremely reasonably priced with gigantic portions and choices for days but what I really enjoyed most were the side items. $2.99 small fruit salad was huge, $2.99 small macaroni salad and $2.99 small pasta salad were all quite delicious!! A nice departure from just eating deli sandwiches (which most of us did and raved on). Great delivery experience also.

All through isolation we have relied on the delivery or curb side pick up of Cosmi's. We have ordered take out food which is consistently good as well as rolls, cold cuts, groceries. Everything has been tasty, fresh and available. Thanks for being a consistent positive in the neighborhood.

Excellent cheese steak! Hard to make contact by phone. Upon pick up owner (?) was busy on phone and no one else knew what to do. Needs to learn to delegate.

We usually order from Ricci’s but they are closed on Sundays. So decided to give Cosmis a try since we have heard nothing but great things. I ordered a cheesesteak hoagie with bacon (payed) extra. Two Italian hoagies, no onions and fries. When my ordered arrived, It only had one of the two hoagies, and that one was covered in onions. Also, my cheesesteak hoagie had no bacon (which was extra). I ordered thru a delivery service, so I contacted them to get resolve. They credited me. I also contacted Cosmi’s to bring it to their attention that my order was so completely mangled. Telling her upfront we already got credit, the woman on the phone was very dismissive and stated, well you weren’t charged so. That statement was completely inaccurate. I WAS charged, and I later had to get a credit, not a refund because of all the errors of a simple order. I’ll stick with Riccis and if I’m craving something when they are not open, I’ll order somewhere else, like Max’s or one of my other go too places. Never will deal with this place again.

My new favorite joint for an Italian hoagie. The same family has owned this South Philly favorite for decades. They are woven into the fabric of the neighborhood and their hoagies are simply the best.

Philly is known for sandwiches of all types band this place is top of the heap. My wife had the chicken caprese and couldn’t believe how great it was but the real treat was my Godfather probably the best hoagie I have ever had. As an added plus great people behind the counter. Go and have a great sandwich!

There is a long list of places in Philadelphia you can get a great sandwich and this is one of them. While their cheesesteaks might get a lot of attention your missing out if you don’t try their other sandwich selections. You can’t go wrong with their classic Italian hoagie. While not as big as some other competitors it’s still very delicious. They also have an assortment of chicken sandwiches that are excellent. My favorite is “the philly” which is grilled chicken , cheese , red peppers and marinara. The chicken parm is one of the best in the city. Also a great meatball. The only thing I did not like was their cheese fries because they use a different version of cheese wiz then you might be used to. Overall you won’t be disappointed with whatever you order.

When the neighborhood folks recommend a place, you know it has to be good. We stopped in for a quick bite. Received really friendly and quick service. The cheesesteak was lean-none of the cheap fatty, sinewy meat. This was super fresh! Great price for a more-than-filling sandwich!
