Send Philly to Someone Who Moved Away

These are Philadelphia shops whose food ships nationwide through Goldbelly: two South Philly sandwich counters, a Passyunk Avenue tomato pie, Italian Market cookies, Reading Terminal Market ice cream and cookies, and a box of soft pretzels. Each pick below links to its Goldbelly page, where the price, contents and storage notes were checked on Nov. 2, 2026. None of these product pages lists a holiday delivery cutoff, so check the delivery date at checkout before you count on a Thanksgiving or Christmas arrival.

Cheesesteaks, Roast Pork and Tomato Pie

Pat’s King of Steaks ships its Original Classic Philly Cheesesteak in a 4 pack ($139.95): four assembled 9-10 inch steaks plus a 4 oz pouch of Cheese Whiz in a separate container. Onions aren’t included. The steaks are made to order, frozen and shipped with ice packs, and keep up to 2 months in the freezer.

John’s Roast Pork sends its Roast Pork Sandwich Kit as a 4 pack ($144.95): 2 lbs of roast pork, a quart of gravy, sharp provolone, spinach and four seeded sesame rolls. It makes four sandwiches of about a pound each and serves 4-6.

Iannelli’s Bakery on East Passyunk Avenue ships a Brick Oven Philly Tomato Pie ($99.95), packed frozen as four packages of two slices. It serves 6, keeps a year in the freezer, and can be reheated at 450°F or eaten at room temperature.

Soft Pretzels, Cookies and Ice Cream

Center City Pretzel Co. ships Philly Soft Pretzels + Mustard in a 10 pack ($69.95): ten 4 oz pretzels with a container of salt and ten mustard packets. They keep 24 hours on the counter or a month in the freezer.

Isgro Pastries, still in its original Italian Market location, sends a Best Seller Italian Cookie Tin ($69.95) in a 2 lb (about 40 cookies) or 4 lb (about 60) size, with pignoli, butter walnut, almond and coconut macaroons, raspberry and chocolate cookies.

Famous 4th Street Cookie Co., which has a stand in Reading Terminal Market, ships an "It’s a Philly Thing" Cookie Assortment ($62.95) of 3-inch Chocolate Chip and Green Sugar cookies, in boxes of 12 to 50.

Bassetts Ice Cream, at Reading Terminal Market since 1892, ships a Best Seller box of 6 pints ($89.95): Vanilla, Salted Caramel Pretzel, Raspberry Truffle, Cookies and Cream, Coffee Fudge Truffle and Chocolate, packed with dry ice.

Eat It Here Instead

Visiting? Pat’s (1237 E Passyunk Ave) sits at the top of East Passyunk, and Isgro (1009 Christian St) is a short walk from the Italian Market. Bassetts and Famous 4th Street both have stands inside Reading Terminal Market, so you can get ice cream and cookies in one stop.
