About Café Carmela

Café Carmela at the Philmont location offers delicious Margherita pizza, cheesesteak, and truffle fries. Customers praise the awesome taste of the cheesesteak, comparing it to other popular spots. The South Philly Pizza has been described as the best pizza ever. While the food is worth the 30-minute drive, parking can be a challenge with limited spots available, though there is a free parking lot that can be tight. Quick take-out service is available, with orders ready in 20 minutes and even a text notification when they are done. The restaurant has a beautiful and well-decorated interior, making it a great spot for events like birthday parties and rehearsal dinners. The staff is consistently attentive, and the food comes out piping hot every time. Customers often enjoy the perfect portion sizes, with some dishes like chicken parm suitable for sharing, and the crab mac and cheese arriving hot and delicious. Many visitors find the place a great option for good food and excellent service, though parking remains a common issue. Some guests have experienced delays during busy times but still rate the food highly. Overall, Café Carmela is a fantastic place for tasty food, especially for take-out or casual dining, but visitors should be prepared for parking challenges.

Awesome !!! Great Food !!!

My friends and I were heading home from a mini road trip when we realized we’ll be passing by Cafe Carmela. We decided to stop and pick up some cheesesteaks for dinner because it has great reviews for having the best cheesesteak in Northeast Philadelphia and has even been featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer. While I would agree that the cheesesteaks were good, I have to say the customer service was terrible.

I placed an online order for two cheesesteaks 30 minutes ahead...read full review
