  • Cities across the country

  • are shutting down restaurants

  • to limit the spread of the coronavirus,

  • and it's already started hurting small-business owners.

  • While some have remained open for pickup or delivery,

  • others have closed indefinitely.

  • Here's a list of some Philadelphia restaurants

  • that you can still order from to help out

  • small-business owners in your area.

  • Philly has a long list of cheesesteak restaurants,

  • but many locals put Jim's South Street at the top.

  • The South Philly spot makes the quintessential cheesesteak,

  • complete with Cheez Whiz, onions,

  • and top round black angus beef.

  • Also in South Philly, Sarcone's Bakery

  • is still pumping out fresh bread and tomato pie.

  • The tomato pie is made with bread dough

  • shaped into a rectangle,

  • topped with red marinara sauce

  • and just a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

  • Right next door, Ralph's Italian Restaurant

  • is taking pickup or delivery orders

  • for Italian American dishes

  • like spaghetti and meatballs.

  • The meatballs are made with a mix of pork and veal,

  • giving them a smooth and velvety texture.

  • At Mac Mart, near Rittenhouse Square,

  • it's all about mac 'n' cheese.

  • It offers more than 20 varieties,

  • including mac 'n' cheese topped with buffalo chicken,

  • potato-chip panko crunch, and buttermilk ranch dressing.

  • If you're looking for a satisfying, carb-loaded meal,

  • Big Ass Slices on Market Street won't leave you hungry.

  • The shop is famous for its

  • huge, cheesy pizza slices,

  • which can be hard to hold

  • without using two hands or a plate.

  • This may be the second

  • cheesesteak restuarant on the list,

  • but it's worth pointing out any place

  • that's still pumping out Philly's most famous sandwich.

  • Pat's is one of the most well-known spots in town

  • and offers cheesesteaks from its pickup window

  • or through delivery.

  • Paesano's in Fishtown offers a variety

  • of hot and cold sandwiches at its pickup window

  • or through delivery.

  • We recommend another signature Philly sandwich,

  • the roast pork topped with broccoli rabe

  • and Italian long hot peppers.

  • The Franklin Fountain shop on Market Street

  • may be closed, but you can still order ice cream

  • and handmade toppings online.

  • The shop sells over 20 flavors,

  • from sea-salt caramel to rocky road ice cream,

  • delivered straight to your door.

  • If you've started craving doughnuts

  • by your second week stuck inside,

  • you've still got Beiler's Doughnuts

  • in Reading Terminal Market.

  • The shop is open for pickup and delivery,

  • with 50 doughnut varieties to choose from.
