About the Business

Benjamin Coia, the owner of Philly Phlava, said the city where he grew up is best known for cheesesteaks. What makes it authentic, No. 1, is Amoroso rolls we bring in from home, Philly," said Coia, who is expanding with a food truck to serve the Brandon area. "We have all the authentic cheeses that are offered -- white American, provolone, mozzarella and Cheese Whiz. We don't do Swiss. We don't do Pepper jack."

"We try to keep it the way it is supposed to be, nothing fancy, just real. We say the cheesesteak is not supposed to be pretty. It is supposed to be good."

He leaves it up to his customers using his catch phrase, "build your own Philly Phlava cheesesteak." Pick your cheese. Pick your veggies. There are no "mis-steaks."

Coia of Tampa opened his third location in Brandon in September of 2013 after finding success with his family-owned Town 'N Country and Carrollwood Philly Phlava storefronts. Soon his customers will be able to grab a cheesesteak from their new food truck.

Established in 2015.
