The steak and cheese, and pizza, place on Wilson Blvd. is Mario's Pizza House. It is still operating there, although its days are numbered due to redevelopment plans. They once launched what turned out to be a pretty unsuccessful franchise system locally, with those operations using the name "Marino's". Recently, they opened a second location, in a strip mall at Lee Highway and Gallows Road in Merrifield.
There was an Anthony's on Broad Street in Falls Church which also offered steak and cheese sandwiches. It had to shut down due to redevelopment, but has recently reopened in a new strip mall at Rt. 50 and Annandale Road.
