\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCheesesteaks can be ordered as a lunch special with fries and a drink for the regular price of a sub.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The North Texas cheesesteak game is evolving<\/a>. An East Coast original, G\u2019s Cheesesteaks \u2014\u00a0known for its fresh-baked bread \u2014\u00a0has moved into the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Owner Giacamo \u201cJack\u201d Pisano debuted the first G\u2019s location in Staten Island in 2015. Since then, the shop has expanded in New York City\u2019s five boroughs. And in early 2025, a new spot opened in Dallas\u2019 Medical District. <\/p>\n

Pisano grew up in a family that owned multiple Staten Island pizzerias, which often had cheesesteaks on the menu. He says he committed to the business after graduating from high school and, wanting to focus on ribeye rather than red sauce, opened the first G\u2019s Cheesesteaks at age 20.<\/p>\n

You’re all set.<\/p>\n

CLOSE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

There are multiple components to a great steak, Pisano says, including attention to detail and \u201ca lot of love\u201d for what you do, first and foremost. <\/p>\n

\u201cSecond to that would be the bread; that\u2019s why we bake all our bread in-house,\u201d Pisano says. \u201cWe like to consider ourselves like a mini bakery, where we\u2019re baking loaves all day, just to have fresh bread coming out hot, smell that through the store, and let that be the star of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

As opposed to shops serving chewy hoagies, G\u2019s is best known for its crunchy, poppy-seeded fresh rolls that serve as a staging ground for Cooper\u2019s Sharp cheddar, shaved ribeye and grilled onions. Rolls can also be ordered seedless or as garlic bread.<\/p>\n

\"G'sOnions are assumed in most cheesesteak orders at G\u2019s, although they can be replaced or added with peppers. <\/p>\n

The style of fresh-baked rolls that crackle when handled has become more prevalent across the East Coast. Bradley Cooper\u2019s joint venture in New York with Danny DiGiampietro, owner of the acclaimed Philadelphia cheesesteak spot Angelo\u2019s Pizzeria, serves fresh-baked seeded rolls. The 2025 winner of Philadelphia Magazine\u2019s Best Cheesesteak award<\/a>, Nicky and Ant\u2019s (apparently two names might be conducive for success in the business), also serves a similar style.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust like any business, cheesesteaks have evolved. What cheesesteaks were 10 years ago is not what they are today,\u201d Pisano says. \u201c[Back then] it was, you should be on a soft hoagie roll, super spongy and squishy. That\u2019s kind of taking a back seat now to the fresher experience with the homemade bread. The seeded roll is a little bit crunchier.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a little bit of science into it. People are really trying their hardest, fermenting with the bread, the dough. So it\u2019s just a whole different level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pisano lived at The Village in East Dallas for a year in anticipation of his first opening in Texas. He says he did a fair deal of scouting before debuting on Wycliff Avenue, and when asked about DFW\u2019s cheesesteak scene, he says \u201cit\u2019s not legit\u201d and attributes most of the disparity to behind-the-times bread.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody that\u2019s not doing that is really just left behind, to be honest,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The rest<\/p>\n

Fillings at G\u2019s are variable and can include hot peppers, cherry peppers, mayo and housemade Wiz-style cheese sauce. Pisano\u2019s employees can combine the sauce with black truffle to create a salty, earthy texture complemented by creamy Cooper\u2019s Sharp white cheddar, he says. Sandwiches can be ordered whole or by the half.<\/p>\n

While ribeye-forward options draw the most attention, G\u2019s sells chicken cheesesteaks that can be elevated with buffalo bites, blue cheese or fresh honey. Pisano also sells breaded chicken cutlet sandwiches, including one served with burrata and house-made vodka sauce. The cutlet recipe is his mother\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people didn\u2019t know what chicken cutlets were when I came to Dallas, so it was super cool to inform them on that,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Extra vodka sauce, along with aiolis and extra wiz, can be added on the side for dipping. Mac and cheese bites, cheesesteak egg rolls and mozzarella sticks are available for snacking. There are also tenders and wings: sauce options include hot, mild, mango habanero, Thai Chili, honey mustard and BBQ.<\/p>\n

Pisano is planning to open another store in Florida this year and says he may look to expand his presence in Texas, although he notes that opening in Dallas \u201cwas definitely humbling in the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t get the response that you know we would typically get here in New York, but it\u2019s a brand new place, and Dallas is getting to know us and trust us, so it should go super well now,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
