John's Roast Pork
Best Roast Pork Sandwich in Philadelphia · PA
The sandwich Philly measures itself against, since 1930.
John's Roast Pork has served South Philadelphia from the corner of Snyder and Weccacoe since 1930, when Domenico Bucci opened a little lunch shack. Its namesake roast pork — slow-cooked, piled with sharp provolone and garlicky broccoli rabe — is widely called the best sandwich in a city that takes sandwiches very seriously, and its cheesesteak is a genuine contender.
A James Beard America's Classics honoree still run by the Bucci family, John's is the 2025 Centurion Award winner in Philadelphia.
