Tommy DiNic’s

If Katz’s is New York’s temple of pastrami, then Tommy DiNic’s is Philadelphia’s altar to roast pork—and trust me, this is where sandwich dreams get serious.

Tucked inside the chaotic, flavor-packed energy of Reading Terminal Market, DiNic’s is the kind of place where lines form fast and nobody complains—because everyone knows what’s waiting at the end.

The star? The legendary roast pork sandwich. We’re talking slow-roasted, impossibly juicy pork, sliced thick and stacked high, finished with sharp provolone and bitter broccoli rabe that cuts through the richness like a perfectly timed note. It’s messy, it’s unapologetic, and it’s widely crowned one of the best sandwiches in America.

But what makes DiNic’s special isn’t just the sandwich—it’s the lineage. A fourth-generation family operation rooted in old-school butchery and slow, from-scratch cooking, where every bite carries decades of craft and pride.

In a city obsessed with cheesesteaks, DiNic’s quietly (or not so quietly) makes the case for something better.

Come hungry. Bring napkins. And don’t be surprised if this becomes your new Philly obsession.
