Craving a cheesesteak in Manahawkin? At Fusaro’s Pizza & Pasta, our cheesesteaks are made fresh to order with quality steak chopped on the griddle, melted Cooper Sharp white American cheese, and a South Jersey-style Italian roll that’s crisp on the outside and soft inside.

Keep it simple with steak and cheese, add your favorite toppings, or switch things up with a chicken cheesesteak or Buffalo chicken cheesesteak. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, picking up an easy dinner, or looking for takeout before or after a day on Long Beach Island, a freshly made cheesesteak is an easy choice.

Cheesesteaks Made Fresh to Order in Manahawkin

A good cheesesteak starts with the basics, and each part of the sandwich matters.

At Fusaro’s, we start with quality steak and cook it fresh on the griddle. The steak is chopped as it’s prepared rather than simply reheated from a batch cooked earlier in the day.

Next comes Cooper Sharp white American cheese. As the cheese melts into the hot steak, it creates the creamy, cheesy texture that brings the sandwich together.

Then everything goes into a South Jersey-style Italian sub roll. The outside has a satisfying crispness while the inside stays soft enough to soak up the flavor from the steak and cheese.

It’s our South Jersey take on a sandwich with strong Philadelphia roots.

Build Your Cheesesteak Your Way

Everyone seems to have an opinion about what belongs on a cheesesteak. That’s part of the fun.

If steak and cheese are all you need, keep it classic. If you like a loaded sandwich, Fusaro’s offers plenty of ways to customize it.

Cheesesteak toppings include:

• • Peppers
  • Onions
  • Mushrooms
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Raw onions
  • Mayonnaise
  • Hot cherry peppers

You can go with traditional onions and peppers, add mushrooms, bring some heat with hot cherry peppers, or choose your own combination.

What Makes a Fusaro’s Cheesesteak Different?

For us, it comes down to the ingredients and how the sandwich is prepared.

We don’t try to make the cheesesteak complicated. We focus on quality steak, cook and chop it to order, melt Cooper Sharp white American into it, and serve it on a roll that can stand up to everything inside. A cheesesteak isn’t simply any steak sandwich with cheese. See how a cheesesteak differs from a steak sandwich and what defines the classic style.

The South Jersey-style Italian roll is an especially important part of the sandwich. It’s crisp on the outside, soft inside, and sturdy enough to hold a generous cheesesteak without overwhelming what’s inside.

Curious about the sandwich itself? Our What Is a Cheesesteak? A Guide to This Classic Sandwich takes a closer look at what goes into a classic cheesesteak and what makes each part of the sandwich matter.

Chicken Cheesesteaks & Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteaks

Beef isn’t your only option.

Fusaro’s also serves chicken cheesesteaks, prepared with the same idea in mind: chopped chicken, melted cheese, and a fresh Italian-style roll.

If you’re looking for something with a little more kick, try a Buffalo chicken cheesesteak. It combines the familiar comfort of a chicken cheesesteak with Buffalo flavor for a different take on the classic sandwich.

Whether you’re a traditional steak-and-cheese person or prefer chicken, there’s an option to match your craving.

An Easy Lunch or Dinner in Manahawkin

Cheesesteaks work just as well for a quick lunch as they do for an easy weeknight dinner.

Grab one on your lunch break, pick up sandwiches for the family, or add cheesesteaks to an order when everyone wants something different. Since our full menu includes pizza, pasta, subs, strombolis, calzones, and other Italian favorites, you don’t have to convince the whole group to order the same thing.

That’s particularly helpful when you’re ordering for a family or a larger group.

Cheesesteak or Cheesesteak Stromboli?

If you love the flavors of a cheesesteak but you’re in the mood for something a little different, there’s another Fusaro’s favorite worth considering: our cheesesteak stromboli.

Instead of an Italian sub roll, the steak, cheese, peppers, and onions are wrapped in our traditional pizza dough and baked until golden brown. If you’ve never had one, our guide to stromboli in Manahawkin takes a closer look at this baked Italian favorite and some of the combinations we make at Fusaro’s.

It’s also easy to confuse strombolis with some of our other dough-based favorites. We explain the differences in Stromboli vs. Calzone if you’re trying to decide which one sounds better.

Go with the cheesesteak when you’re craving a classic sandwich, or try the stromboli when you want those familiar flavors wrapped inside freshly baked pizza dough.
