PHILADELPHIA (May 27, 2026) — As Philadelphia gears up to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, Philly Pretzel Factory is celebrating the city the best way it knows how, through food. Introducing new Cheesesteak Poppers, Philly Pretzel Factory’s classic Rivets stuffed with savory cheesesteak and Cooper Sharp cheese, bringing together two iconic Philadelphia favorites in one perfectly poppable snack.
What better time to launch a product rooted in Philly pride than during the summer of A250? Combining the flavors of Philadelphia’s most debated food with the warm pretzels fans know and love, Cheesesteak Poppers offer a new way to celebrate the flavors of the city.
Cheesesteak Poppers will be available at all Philly Pretzel Factory locations beginning June 8. Guests can enjoy them as a single serving of three or as a shareable party tray, perfect for summer celebrations, gatherings and catering occasions.
“Philadelphia is at the heart of everything we do, and with excitement building around A250, it felt like the perfect time to celebrate the city that shaped our brand,” said Dan DiZio, co-founder of Philly Pretzel Factory. “Cheesesteak Poppers bring together two foods Philly loves in a way that feels familiar and uniquely Philly Pretzel Factory.”
Now the real debate begins: Is your favorite cheesesteak still from Pat’s King of Steaks or Geno’s Steaks or did Philly Pretzel Factory just enter the conversation?
