A restaurant concept can have a great product. Building a brand that lasts takes more. Philly’s Best has built its business around a few things we aren’t willing to compromise on: authentic Philadelphia flavor, quality ingredients, a focused menu and consistency across the guest experience. For franchise owners, that means joining an established concept with decades of brand history, operating experience and an identity guests understand. If you’re exploring restaurant franchise opportunities, we’d love to introduce you to Philly’s Best.

About us
Philly’s Best Cheesesteaks® has been serving authentic Philly flavor in Southern California since 1992, proudly delivering millions of award-winning cheesesteaks to guests who want the real thing. What started as a single shop built on high standards has grown into a 20-location brand known for doing things the right way: real ingredients, great service, and real pride in every sandwich we serve. Our cheesesteaks and hoagies have earned a loyal following and strong regional recognition, including being voted “Best of LA,” “Best Sandwich” in Orange County, and “Favorite Sandwich Shop” in the Inland Empire. Guests know that when they visit Philly’s Best, they’re getting a REAL Philly cheesesteak made with authentic ingredients, quality meats and cheeses, and prepared with uncompromising attention to detail. Philly’s Best was founded by Bob Levey, a Philadelphia native and U.S. Navy veteran, who brought his hometown standards to California more than 30 years ago. That Philly mindset still drives everything we do: work hard, keep it honest, and make it great...every single time. We’re also proud to give back through Cheesesteaks for Charity, supporting meaningful local causes in the communities we serve. We are actively expanding our franchise footprint both within California and into select markets outside of California, partnering with operators who share our standards and are committed to delivering an exceptional product and guest experience. If you’re looking to join a franchise brand built on authenticity, high standards, and strong guest loyalty, we’d love to connect.

In 1992, Philly’s Best opened its first location in Fountain Valley with a simple idea: bring the foods and flavors of Philadelphia to Southern California and do them right. More than three decades later, that commitment hasn’t changed. The brand has grown, the menu has evolved and new communities have discovered Philly’s Best along the way — but the foundation is still authentic Philly flavor, quality ingredients and the kind of food people come back for. Serving It ’Wit Pride Since 1992. #PhillysBest #Since1992 #RestaurantIndustry #BrandStory #Philadelphia
