The NEW Cooper® Sharp Cheesesteak brings the legendary melt of Cooper® Sharp White cheese to Capriotti’s award-winning cheesesteak
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beginning August 19, Capriotti’s® Sandwich Shop is introducing the NEW Cooper® Sharp Cheesesteak, pairing its award-winning cheesesteak with the bold flavor, creamy texture and legendary melt of Cooper® Sharp White cheese.
Every Cooper® Sharp Cheesesteak is grilled to order with tender steak, onions, mushrooms and sweet peppers, finished with a generous layer of creamy, perfectly melted Cooper® Sharp White cheese, and served on a new seeded roll.
Why Cooper® Sharp Was the Perfect Match
Long celebrated as a Philadelphia deli favorite, Cooper® Sharp has earned a devoted following for its exceptional melt and distinctive flavor. Pairing it with Capriotti’s award-winning cheesesteaks creates an unmistakably East Coast-inspired sandwich built for true cheesesteak lovers.
“Our cheesesteaks have earned a loyal following over the years, so when we introduce a new one, it has to be something we’re truly proud of,” said Ashley Morris, CEO of Capriotti’s® Sandwich Shop. “For years, fans have been asking us to bring Cooper® Sharp to our cheesesteaks. It’s an East Coast favorite that people are passionate about, and pairing its rich, creamy melt with our new seeded roll creates an experience that honors our roots while taking our award-winning cheesesteaks to the next level.”
As Capriotti’s celebrates 50 years of crafting extraordinary sandwiches, the brand continues to raise the bar through premium ingredients, handcrafted preparation and uncompromising quality. The launch continues Capriotti’s ongoing investment in its cheesesteak platform. Last year, the brand increased the amount of meat in every cheesesteak by 25%, and the addition of Cooper® Sharp White cheese and a new seeded roll further builds on their commitment to quality.
Both brands have deep East Coast roots, and this partnership brings one of Philadelphia’s most beloved cheeses to Capriotti’s guests nationwide.
“The first time I tasted Cooper® Sharp, I knew it belonged on a Capriotti’s cheesesteak,” said Kim Lewis, Chief Marketing and Technology Officer for Capriotti’s® Sandwich Shop. “As we celebrate 50 years of being Simply the Best Since 1976, we’re excited to bring its iconic flavor to Capriotti’s guests across the country and can’t wait for them to taste what makes this new cheesesteak so special.”
The NEW Cooper® Sharp Cheesesteak is available for a limited time beginning August 19 at participating Capriotti’s locations nationwide, while supplies last.
