I have been there no less than 10 times. The best sandwich around! The Pizza Steak is amazing. I never knew food could taste that good!

With a name like that I was worried they were going to compete with Moochies (who will tell you, Whiz is not the real thing, but it's cheap!). Fortunately it's all the way down in the south end of the valley.
Kratz, if you're in downtown, or your husband stops in, Moochies has the Tastycakes.

Yeah! Way to go Downtown Philly!!! I love their hot turkey sandwhich! The bread is so soft and fresh. Best dang sandwhich shop around!

Well Ben Moochies would be wrong,Whiz is the real thing, I grew up in South Philly and it's Whiz Wit(whiz with onions) or Whiz Wit/out(no onions). The Downtown Philly is as authentic as it gets out here!

Yeah great place. Best cheesesteaks in Utah I've been able to find. Very Good!

The dang things are addictive!!! I have been to Philly and ate at both Gene's and Pat's. The DP sandwiches are authentic as can be and Matt and Nick are nicer to talk with as they wont yell at you if you dont get the order right out of your mouth in one second. :-) Nice job guys. Best sandwiches in Utah.

Cheez whiz not authentic? I can see not liking it, but to say its not authentic Philly style is absurd. The fact that you can get it at every steak shop in Philly is a good indicator that its commonly used there. And to say it is cheap is also not accurate, its almost as expensive as provolone ounce for ounce. I like both moochies and the dp, but i gotta give the dp a slight edge. I usually get the meatball at moochies over the steak anyway, moochies meatball is amazazing

Easily the best steak and cheese you can find in Utah. As a few do exist, this one takes it to the next level. Warning: Very addictive.
The whiz, although some might not be brave enough to give it a shot, is probably by far the best sandwhich I've ever had.

I have been waiting for somebody to compete with the high priced "The Italian Place". Not only does DP compete, it makes REAL philly sandwiches! I love it.

My cousin, Nick R., and his friend are the Owners of the Downtown Philly. When I told him that it was my favorite restraunt, he thought I was just saying that because I was his cousin; but it really is the best sandwich around (the Pizza Steak sandwich is to die for!!). The prices are super low for that kind of quality, and every time I go there, I eat on the tables (which are always clean), then I get another sandwich to go, for later. If you haven't already tried it, hurry up, because you don't know what you're missing!!

Haha, what I meant by that was..... I eat there, then take one home for later. (I do not eat off of the tables).
