What Is a Philly Cheesesteak?
Before we show you how to make the best Philly cheesesteak pizza that’s just like Domino’s, we’ll show you why the restaurant even decided to make a cheesesteak-themed pizza in the first place.
A Philly cheesesteak is a type of sandwich that’s now a local delicacy in where it first originated from. Hence its name Philly, which is short for Philadelphia. This sandwich is made up of beef steak, caramelized onions, and melted cheese encased in a long bread, commonly a hoagie. It’s a very meaty, cheesy, and, most of all, hearty sandwich. There’s a reason it’s so well-loved, after all.
Usually, Philly cheesesteak meat is either a thinly-sliced rib eye or top round steak cut. However, other cuts are also used, like the top sirloin (which is cheaper than the ribeye). The cheeses you’d find in this steak sandwich are either American cheese, provolone cheese, or even Cheez Whiz.
Some food establishments melt the American cheese and then add them to the sandwich for a more gooey eating experience. However, others simply let the heat of the steaks melt the slices of scrumptious American cheese. Also, while hoagie rolls are often used for this sandwich, some variations opt for French bread or the soft and slightly-salted Amoroso rolls. All these different ingredients and methods help give the iconic sandwich its signature taste.
And sure enough, the Philly cheesesteak is so famous that other places have made their own version of it. In fact, you could say that the West Coast’s version, with added crunchy green bell peppers and delectable mushrooms, is more famous than the original. Almost all establishments, from Domino’s to Subway and their Big Philly Sandwich, uses the West Coast’s recipe.
If you want to try the West Coast version but with French bread, try Subway’s Big Philly. But if you want to know what steak and cheese taste like encased in hoagie rolls, then try our Philly Cheesesteak Recipe.
Domino’s Delicious, Hand-Tossed Philly Cheesesteak Pizza
Domino’s Philly Cheesesteak Pizza uses the West Coast’s cheesesteak recipe. Along with the cheese, steak, and onions, scrumptious green bell peppers and mushrooms are added for a more filling eating experience! Also, in a more daring approach, Domino’s ditched the usual tomato sauce you’d typically find in pizza.
Instead, they replaced the pizza sauce with generous layers of gooey, melted provolone cheese! Every bite of their cheesesteak pizza is filled with rich, provolone cheese—a signature cheese you’d find in the classic Philly sandwich.
For the tender steak, Domino’s used premium quality sirloin cuts which are incredibly versatile and flavorful. All the ingredients are then placed on top of a delicious and crispy, hand-tossed pizza crust. You might think that the thin crust of a hand-tossed pizza doesn’t go with the Philly cheesesteak-themed ingredients. However, the crispiness of the pizza crust adds another layer of delicious texture to the toppings’ already rich flavors.
Domino’s knew what it was doing when they made a Philly cheesesteak-themed pizza. They took all of the things that made the sandwich so good and transferred it into a hand-tossed crust. So, if you want to try your hand at making this cheesesteak pizza, continue reading below.
