The Story
From a Belltown
Street Cart
It started in 2008 with a rogue street cart in Belltown — a rented propane grill, a beach umbrella, and Al Calozzi chopping steaks on a Seattle sidewalk because the city didn't have the real thing yet. Word got around fast.
From a Belltown cart, to Pioneer Square, to a Georgetown institution near Boeing Field.
Same chopped ribeye, same fresh Amoroso rolls, same guy on the grill. The "Donnie" is even named after a friend whose bucket-list wish was a sandwich named after him. Eighteen years later it's a Seattle institution — and still the best cheesesteak in the Pacific Northwest. Gotta love it.
