Cheesesteak Pizza

The Cheesesteak Pizza is what happens when north Jersey's two favorite foods meet on one crust. Chopped halal steak, sweet sautéed onions, and a blanket of melted cheese — a Philly cheesesteak you eat by the slice. It's one of the most-ordered pies out of our Paterson delivery zone.

Cheesesteak Pizza

What goes on it

  • Chopped halal-certified steak, griddled with onions before it hits the pie
  • Sweet white onions, sautéed soft
  • Low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella (and a little American-style melt for that cheesesteak pull)
  • Light house tomato sauce — or none, if you order it 'white'
  • 24-hour cold-fermented dough

How it's made

The steak and onions are griddled to order, the way you'd build an actual cheesesteak, then spread over a cheesed pie. Into the brick oven for 8–10 minutes. Most regulars get it 'white' (no tomato sauce) so it tastes like the sandwich.

Pairings

Fries or mozzarella sticks on the side and you've got a full diner-style meal. A 2-liter soda for the table.

Ordering tips

Ask for it white if you want the true cheesesteak flavor. Add hot peppers or mushrooms at checkout. Large 16" is the move for two to three people; it reheats well the next day.

For Paterson

Halal steak is hard to find on a pizza — most cheesesteak pies aren't halal. Ours is. If you're in Clifton or Paterson and craving a halal cheesesteak, order it as a pizza.

FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from the Meat Lovers?
Different builds. Meat Lovers stacks four halal meats - pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, gyro - over red sauce, and they cook through in the brick oven; the pepperoni cups and crisps up there. The Cheesesteak uses one meat, and it's cooked before the pie is: chopped halal steak griddled with onions, then spread across a pie that's already cheesed. One is a loaded pizza. This one is a sandwich.
Is there Cheez Whiz or provolone on it, like a real Philly cheesesteak?
Neither. It's low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella, the same cheese that goes on every pie we make, plus a little American-style melt for the pull people expect from a cheesesteak. No Whiz, no cheese sauce - that's not something you run through a brick oven. The sandwich flavor comes from the chopped steak and onions being griddled together before they hit the crust, not from the cheese.
Can I get it without onions?
You can, but the onions are doing more work here than on other pies. They're sweet white onions sauteed soft and griddled together with the chopped steak, not scattered over the top at the end, so pulling them takes most of the sweetness out with them. Tell us when you place the order, not after - the steak hits the griddle to order, and by then it's already cooked with the onions.
Is the cheesesteak pizza halal?
Yes — every meat on this pizza, like every meat on our menu, comes from a halal-certified supplier, and the kitchen, fryer and slicer are halal-only. Nothing non-halal is prepared or stored on the premises.
Can I order it for pickup or delivery?
Both. Pickup is free and usually ready in about 15 minutes. In-house delivery is our own drivers — no third-party app markup — across Clifton, Paterson, Passaic, Garfield, Nutley, Lyndhurst, Bloomfield and Belleville.
