Pat’s King of Steaks Introduces Limited-Time ‘New School’ Cheesesteak With Seeded Rolls and Grill-Melted Cheese

Owner Frank Olivieri says customer requests prompted the limited trial, which he expects to make permanent.

Overview

  • The new option mixes steak, onions, and cheese together on the grill and serves the sandwich on a seeded Aversa Italian Bakery roll.
  • Pat’s describes the shift as customer-driven, and the classic layered preparation remains available on request.
  • The offer is being sold at the Passyunk Avenue window and via Goldbelly for a limited time, with Olivieri indicating it will likely stick.
  • Olivieri linked his willingness to tweak long-held practices to recent family succession following his father’s death.
  • Pat’s is keeping its sliced “slab” steak style and recent additions like Cooper Sharp, while planning to phase out American cheese.
