Please, stop feeding the troll.

Amato's Cheesesteak is the best cheesesteaks ever: meat cooked to perfection and trimmed just right. Lots of grilled onions with a ton of whiz cheese in big delicious Philly bread roll.

Whatever., there's no one in Philadelphia, San Jose, or anywhere else is going to convince me that San Jose has better Italian food. It's like someone trying to convince me that Philly has better Mexican food. Not gonna happen since I'm already knowing the Mexican population has been ingrained in California for multiple decades.., maybe 25? 30? Same with the Italian population throughout Pennsylvania, and Philly in general.
There's far too may neighborhoods that have had families and individuals preparing traditional Italian food since day one, as well as those who've created new dishes over time, and perfected them. That goes for restaurants, bakeries, and deli's. I'll bet my last dollar, there's a number of living roomed sized restaurants in at least a dozen Philly neighborhoods that have better food than most places any size in San Jose.
Way Better; Not kidding.

"Cheez Wiz" (Proper Spelling) & "Philly Bread." PROVES you're a total Troll in Da Hole.

Minor nit: The word order is correct now, but the proper spelling of the second word is indeed with an "h."

It's commonly misspelled around here.

Kraft Cheez Whiz Original Cheese Dip

Upon first moving to San Jose I would always hear this phrase at the office "We're not even a real city". Can't argue with the truth - even the locals know it. I have traveled all around the world (mostly for work) so my opinion isn't based on Google Street View - Philadelphia is more of a city than San Jose and is crushing it 4 to 1 in this poll. A better poll would have been: Better suburb San Jose VS Scottsdale or Suburban Wars: San Jose VS Plano.

You don't like Downtown San Jose? What's your opinion of it?

Veal parm is like egg foo young. Nothing authentically Italian or Chinese about them. They're both American.

Unless the bread was shipped from Philly it's not "Philly bread".
