If you’re on the hunt for the best cheesesteaks in Northern Virginia, especially around Tysons and Vienna, look no further than Capo Deli Tysons. Combining old-school deli craftsmanship with bold flavors and hearty portions, our cheesesteaks have become a local favorite, and for good reason.

A Sandwich with Roots: Cheesesteak History 101

The cheesesteak was born in Philadelphia in the early 20th century when Pat Olivieri reportedly slapped some thinly sliced beef onto a hoagie roll for a hungry cab driver. Word spread fast, first throughout Philly, then across the country. Traditional cheesesteaks are simple: shaved ribeye, melted cheese (American or Cheez Whiz), and a soft roll. But regional variations soon followed:
  • Philadelphia: Thin steak with Cheez Whiz on an Amoroso roll.
  • New Jersey & New York suburbs: Often American or provolone, sometimes with peppers or onions.
  • South and West Coast: Fusion versions with jalapeños, barbecue sauce, or even avocado.
At Capo Deli Tysons, we respect those Philly roots, while putting our own Northern Virginia stamp on every cheesesteak we serve.

What Makes Capo Deli Tysons’ Cheesesteaks Stand Out

At Capo Deli Tysons, we don’t just make sandwiches, we build experiences. Our cheesesteaks start with premium sliced steak, cooked hot and juicy, then layered with gooey melted cheese on our perfectly toasted roll. The result? A flavor that keeps customers coming back again and again.
Local fans have taken notice. One Vienna food group member raved that Capo Deli Tysons has “the best sub sandwich I have EVER had,” praising the flavor and freshness that set us apart from other sandwich shops.

Reviews consistently mention our generous portions and standout ingredients, with many calling Capo Deli Tysons one of the top spots in the area for cheesesteaks, Italian subs, and buffalo chicken cheesesteaks.

From Philly Roots to a NOVA Favorite

What began as a simple steak-and-cheese sandwich has evolved into a Northern Virginia favorite. Whether you’re craving a classic Philly-style cheesesteak or something a little bolder, Capo Deli Tysons strikes the perfect balance between tradition and local taste.

Our customers have helped shape the sandwich you see on the menu today. We listen closely and adapt, especially when it comes to portion size.

More Meat, More Flavor: The Feedback That Changed Our Cheesesteak

We heard you loud and clear: more steak. After hearing from customers looking for a heartier, more filling cheesesteak, we made a big move.

Our large cheesesteak now features 1 lb of premium sliced meat, matching the iconic portion of our steak me home tonight sub and setting a new local standard for value and satisfaction.

That’s right, one pound of steak packed into each large cheesesteak, layered with all the melty cheese and fresh toppings you love. It’s the kind of sandwich that doesn’t just fill you up, it wows you.

All of this contributes to Capo’s reputation as not just a deli, but a destination for cheesesteak lovers in Tysons, Vienna, and beyond.
