9 reviews for Angelino's Restaurant and Pizzeria
We recently went to Angelino's for lunch and had a much different experience than we've had with service at dinner. While that may have been because the restaurant was nearly deserted, this waiter was pretty great. The food was served promptly, he was really nice, and it was an overall enjoyable experience.
The extra star is because I also ordered probably the best thing I've ever had at Angelino's, which is a sandwich, The Robby. Slightly spicy grilled chicken, sharp and salty melted provolone, and a copious amount of onions and garlicky broccoli rabe, all in a crispy seeded roll--fantastic. And it was just as good reheated the next day.
I'm super sad that I won't be in this neighborhood as much anymore, and thus will not be able to eat this sandwich as easily. If the lack of crowds are any indication, though, I'd have to urge everyone to try Angelino's--it's still a nice, friendly neighborhood place that could use your patronage.

This is our go-to for nights when we are feeling too lazy to cook, or just craving delicious, greasy… Read more »
Not to give too much away, but I live pretty much around the corner from Angelino's. They receive two stars because they are the closest restaurant to my home and I appreciate convenience. The food, however, lacks. The BLT my boyfriend ate there once was a-okay, and the dessert I picked up with my pizza one night was fine, too.
The pizza, however. It isn't the worst pizza I've ever had, but it's far from the best (see: review of Tacconelli's). The first time I ordered from here was a few weeks after moving in. We ate an entire pizza between the two of us, pretty much. SALT OVERLOAD. Also, quite greasy. I'm not sure where the high level of saltiness was coming from, but I could feel it. Later that night (around 4am), we both woke up thirsty, thirsty as hell. We scrambled around the kitchen drinking water, ginger ale, and for some reason my boyfriend thought milk would aid the situation. To quote Ron Burgundy, "Milk was a bad choice." I stuck with water and, eventually, our thirst subsided. We were confused at first. Then we decided to blame it on the pizza.
In short, Angelino's doesn't suck but it doesn't rule. And I haven't had it in a while and will probably give it another chance sometime this winter when I don't feel like waiting on delivery or walking the extra 4 or 5 blocks to Luigi's.
Probably the best pizza I have had in the city thus far. The pie is relatively cheap for how large it is, but the toppings are hit or miss. I'd say, stick with plain or pepperoni.
I am gonna be generous and give them 4 stars as they cater 9and in a timely manner, I might add) many of our office functions. The pizza is 3 star but the salads are chock full of goodies (eggs, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.)
They also served a unique hot sandwich platter at one of our meetings.
Very nice change from pizza.
Angelino's is a nice restaurant that's close to my apartment, and therefore, a go to for pizza/drunk food. Their pizza doesn't disappoint, but after having it for a while, it leaves you wanting more. The delicious aspects are that the sauce is great, its nice and cheesy, and garlic permeates throughout the pizza and crust, which make it super yummy. The disappointing aspects of it, for me, were that it's really floppy, with no integrity and all the cheese dripping off, and pretty greasy. I could also be overloaded on it, so I wouldn't hold it against them. They are slow for delivery, and their wings and calamari (especially the calamari) could use some work. The wings aren't that hot and the calamari so so chewy its like eating gross gum.
Their pasta dishes are pretty fantastic as well as the breadsticks and the salads that they serve with them. I haven't tried their stromboli's yet, but plan on it next time I order from them.
Overall, I would definitely recommend that you try the pizza and see if it's up your alley, the atmosphere in the restaurant is fantastic and the food is quality, but sometimes it leaves you just a little disappointed.
Angelino's is our go-to spot for Pizza & Wings in Fairmount. The pizzas are huge, great toppings, and the crust is delicious. Wings are cheap, and good amount of sauce. Delivery is quick as well.
Honeymoon's over, bitches. I've had too many mediocre experiences. From the chewy wing incident to the sloshed topping episode, I'm almost ready to write them off for good.
I can get Rustica in less time, amazingly. Also, too much cheese for me, my body can't take it anymore.

Just ordered from Angelino's with some friends. We got a nice variety of goodies. Definitely a crowd pleaser! The stromboli was the size of a small child, and the chicken fingers were "the best i've had in a LONG time." I must say, we're an easy crowd to please, but this was definitely a place to go for a quick, cheap bite ta eat. 2 thumbs up!
I gave them a third chance and have to say "what an improvement" I actually ate the leftovers! The Heavyweight had a balance of flavors --- the sausage melt in my mouth and the dough was just right! Keep it up and you will be in the Heavyweight circle!
