Your mama might make a mean grilled cheese with Kraft singles. But can she do it more than 30 different ways? The Pop Shop can. Our sammich of choice is the Park, a Pop Shop original that melts American on a halved Philly soft pretzel. We are trying this at home immediately.

2. Grilled 3 Cheeses

Maybe you're a DiBruno's fiend and only multiple cheeses will do. All right, monger, get serious with the Grilled 3 Cheeses at Good Dog. The oven-baked deal features fontina, asiago and gruyere loaded onto brioche with sautéed apples and applewood bacon.

North Bowl, 909 N. Second St., 215-238-BOWL

Your toasty fave just got a lot more fun. North Bowl's snacky take on the classic makes it the perfect finger food for a night at the lanes. Their grilled cheese bites are tiny morsels of comfort, but pair them with a creamy tomato bisque and you've got a full-blown meal on your hands.

4. Euro Grilled Cheese

Chapterhouse Cafe, 620 S. Ninth St., 215-238-2626
