    Signs, could use some arrows here
    Jessica N.

    Is this the best pizza/ cheesesteaks in Philly? Maybe. Is it the best place to get the quintessential Philly experience of waiting in line, getting yelled at, and eating on the stoop? Yes!!! Hear me out: get pizza or cheesesteaks here, walk and munch on it on your way to John's water ice. Get in line for John's and by the time you get your dessert you'd be done w your pizza. Perfect evening. Now onto the food review. The star is THE BREAD. The pizza's crust was chewy and crispy. We had the white pizza and devoured it. It's also MASSIVE for 2 people. The cheesesteak was loaded (could use more seasoning but maybe they intentionally make it that was as a baseline), the seed roll? PHENOMENAL. The lines are confusing. Lowkey I think they have the opportunity to make their signings better. Dear owner if you see my review, see the 2 perfect rectangles right above the door? Hear me out, one sign per rectangle that says order on the left and pick up on the right. That will solve everyone's confusion and save your team from yelling at customers "ORDER OVER HERE!" Win-win. We asked for a cheesesteak w mushroom and was charged for it but it didn't come with mushrooms :( we do appreciate the speed though and they'll keep your food in a warmer until you pick up (how thoughtful!) There is absolutely no seating inside, definitely a grab and go place!

    I end up getting one cheesesteak from a different location each time I am in town and Angelos was up next on the list.I have a heard a lot about this place. I had a chicken cheesesteak - Great quality bread, amazing melt in your mouth copper sharp cheese. The chicken was a bit bland and dry though and could do with some seasoning and some less time on the griddle. Parking is extremely difficult to find.

    Cheesesteak Sandwich

    Unfortunately, this cheesesteak was worth the wait. The line moves pretty fast to order because you type in your name and phone number before telling the person manning your computer your order; then you get a text when your order is ready. It took 20-25 minutes, which wasn't too bad since we were expecting worse. However, since you order verbally and pay once your order is done, you don't know how much your total is. One cheesesteak + tax ended up being $19.44. One cheesesteak was enough for two, in my opinion, but I was surprised that it didn't feel as heavy or greasy as I was expecting. Not to say that it wasn't. Honestly, it tasted great, a bit salty, but I really like the bread because it was crispy without cutting up the roof of my mouth.

    I was in Philly for a couple days and planned to stop @ Angelo's.  Oh Boy!  The Big Joe Special Pizza
    Mike L.

    I had a few days in Philly & stopped @ Angelo's. I walked past many folks eating outside Alaina the streets and others waiting for their orders. The friendly ladies @ the counter greeted me and helped me order the Big Joe pizza. The pizza was delicious! So much so, that I want to go back there today!

    Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich with cooper sharp cheese and fried onions
    Graschelle H.

    As a Californian, I'm by no means a cheesesteak connoisseur (this might be the 2nd time I've ever had one), but this was incredible. We chose Angelo's and ordered according to popular recommendations--their classic cheesesteak with Cooper sharp and fried onions. For $18, it was a huge portion! They truly packed on the meat and cheese. Each bite had amazing flavor. The meat was so tender and though I've never had Cooper sharp cheese, it was decadent, melty, and creamy. I'm not typically a fan of seeded buns, but their housemade bread is super fresh and wasn't soggy. We got there about 15 minutes before they opened on a Saturday and a line was already forming. Street parking is available. The line moved relatively quickly. Make sure you're in the left line to order! They'll direct you to wait outside for a text to let you know your order's ready, then you fall into the right line, give them your name, and pay upon receiving your food. They do take card, but cash is easiest. I'd say it took about 35-40 minutes total, including waiting in line and for our food. There's no seating inside, so we opted to eat in the car while it was fresh of course. I'm so glad I got to try one of Philly's finest!

    Upside Down Jawn Special Pizza
    Maurine S.

    It's true. It's worth all the hype. Was a bit intimidated to try this place seeing how the reviews say you have to wait 30-40 minutes to get your food but hey! you only live once! oh i also tried calling for pick up but no one ever answered so maybe it's not true. what's the ambience like? hectic! So here's how it works. it's a fast paced doorway where you stand on the left side to place your order. when you get to the front you type in your name and phone number then the person behind the counter takes your order. what to get? our friend said: Cheesesteak with Cooper sharp cheese, fried onions, and long hots (can get those on the side if you don't know if you like long hots) Most of their pizzas are great. The upside down is a classic (I like half sausage half pepperoni) But stars are the cheesesteaks took his advice and he did not steer us wrong! once we placed the order we're told to hang out and when they text you you get in the line on the right side for pick up. tell them your name and they ring you up! no where to sit in angelo's, so most people go back to their car or sit on the sidewalk. you do have to eat it HOT. okay i have to admit i grew up eating great steak in the mall and loved it. this is not great steak but a seeded bun with MEAT and i dunno is cooper cheese like cream cheese? long hots were like long jalapeños. it was good! the bread made it standout! the pizza was a great detroit pizza with an great crisp crunch on the edge. so yum! another spot i hope we can visit when we're in town!

    Cheesesteak Sandwich
    Jacob G.

    Came to Angelo's Pizzeria to see what all the hype was about since they're supposed to have one of the best cheesesteaks in Philly. The line was super long, but that was kind of expected since it was a Saturday and it's such a popular spot. We got the cheesesteak, of course, and also wanted to try the pizza. Unfortunately, they don't sell single slices, so we had to get a whole pie. It would be nice if they offered slices, especially if you just want to try the pizza. The cheesesteak was honestly just alright. It was packed with meat, which I liked, but I thought it needed a little more flavor. The sesame roll also wasn't as crispy as I would've liked compared to some other cheesesteaks I've had around the city. For the pizza, we got the Big Joe, and that was pretty good! It had a nice crispy crust and was loaded with toppings. It was pretty spicy, so be aware of that, but I personally liked the heat. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other pizzas, but I probably wouldn't return specifically for the cheesesteak. The main thing that brought this down to 3 stars for me was the lack of seating. There's no seating at all, so if you want to eat your food right away, be prepared to sit on a nearby ledge or even the sidewalk. It would be nice if they could at least set up some benches outside since a lot of people seemed to be looking for somewhere to eat their food.

    As good as people say. Is it the best, I'm not sure until I try the other 50 that might be the best. The long line moves fast. No place to eat but standing or sitting on the curb.

    Cheesesteak - delish
    Rodney W.

    While visiting the Philadelphia area for a wedding, we scoped out some vittles that we wanted to try. Angelo's had very high ratings for its Philly cheesesteaks. I wanted to get there soon after they opened so we wouldn't have to wait a long time, but we slept in and didn't make it until around 11:40 am. We waited in line less than 10 minutes and we placed our electronic order. We requested two traditional cheesesteaks and a pepperoni pizza. Then we left and walked around the neighborhood a little. We found a place nearby to sit and waited for the text message indicating our food was ready. Not long after, we got the text message. I headed to back to the restaurant and stood in a short second line to pay. Once I paid, we grabbed our food and drinks and went back to our spot. Lots of people were sitting around eating and raving about the food. The sandwiches were large and heavy. The first bite was incredible. The flavors of the bread, cheese, and steak hit you. They were very rich and decadent. It was a delicious cheesesteak. The bread was of the highest quality. I don't think the sesame seeds were necessary, but they do convey quality in the housemade bread. The cheesesteak was incredible and very filling. I only ate half of one, since they were so big. The pepperoni pizza was also incredible. It's one of the best that I've had. The undercarriage of the slices were crispy and thin. The flavors were excellent. The quality was excellent. I wish I had this pizza in my neighborhood. The system they have set up is quick and efficient. They serve a massive amount of food in a short amount of time. There were a bunch of employees cranking out sandwiches just behind the counter. Very well run. Very well done.

    If you plan on getting a table this is not the place for you. I went on a summer day around 12:30ish pm I would say. There was already a line. It moves quick. You get to the counter, they ask for your name and phone number, then take your order and ask you to wait. You wait about 10-15 mins and then get a text to pick up and pay for your order. Ordered 2 cheesesteaks, and let me just say that this was the biggest and most delicious cheesesteak, I've ever had... plan on going back soon. The wait is definitely worth it, and then you can go to a park bench and enjoy the rest of the day. The people are super friendly and quick to take your order. Each sandwich was about $18 plus tax

    Pepperoni, Sausage, and Sweet Pepper Pizza

    On a recent trip to the Philadelphia area, I visited Angelo's Pizzeria. My fiance is a big fan of the pizza, and wanted to first try it after hearing Dave Portnoy's rave review from One Bite. Since his first time trying it, we make it a point to stop anytime we are passing through the area. Angelo's is a very popular pizza restaurant located in South Philly, near the corner of South 9th and Fitzwater, and also the Palumbo Playground/Rec Center. For those who are tourists, it is also not far from where Pat's and Geno's are both located. Parking here can be challenging, as it is in the middle of South Philly. Sometimes, I have had to circle around. Other times, I have gotten lucky with a street spot somewhat close by. There is a now closed Rite Aid about a block down, and I have parked in that lot before to go and order/pick up my food. If you have someone with you, it might be easier to drop someone off and circle around until they are done. It will depend on the day and time, but each time I have visited parking has been a little bit of a struggle. The signage, as well as the crowd outside, will let you know exactly where the shop is. It is clearly marked with a black awning. The Pizzeria is a quaint shop, and there is no seating. When you enter, you walk right up to the counter to either order or pick up your food. I visited here on a Saturday in September, when I was in the area for a football game. On this day, I was coming in from Chester. So, I was about 30 minutes away. I thought I would attempt to call ahead, and then hopefully my food would be ready around my arrival. Unfortunately, this did not work out. I am not sure if they just do not answer the phone, or if they will stop answering once they hit a certain threshold of orders. However, I tried calling a plethora of times on my way to the store, but no one ever answered the phone. I understand this and am not necessarily complaining, but I wanted to include this here in case someone else is trying to call in an order and cannot get through. I arrived at the store just before 4:00 PM. I went right in and placed my order with one of the employees. Once you place the order, they take your name and phone number. You will get a text message when the order is done, and they provide an estimated wait time at the counter. This is nice, as you know exactly when to head back and when your order is ready. My order only took about 20 minutes to be prepared. When the order is ready, you come back into the store and get in the line on the right side. They will ask for your name, and you pay at that time. I also visited here last month, on a Sunday evening around 6:00 PM. I had a similar experience with wait time for my pizza on this trip as well - about 20 minutes until it was ready from when we placed the order. After getting the pizza, I decided I wanted to try a Cheesesteak. So, I placed my order for the sandwich and only waited about 15 minutes for it to be ready. We have always enjoyed the food from here. The pizza is hot, fresh, and has just the right amount of crispiness. We have gotten the Pepperoni and Sausage each time, and it does not disappoint. The pizza also reheats well, as we typically eat some and then take the rest home to enjoy over the next few days. The Cheesesteak was amazing. It is definitely better than any of the other tourist-type locations in the area. The bread was toasted well, and the mixture of the meat and cheese just tastes divine. I also added onions to mine, which was a nice variety in terms of texture. I will definitely be ordering this, along with my pizza, on all of my return visits. This place is good quality, and for that reason it is a good value. Our pizza is usually in the $35 range, but as stated it is well-prepared and has a nice amount of toppings. The Cheesesteak was slightly less than $20, which is comparable to other spots in the area. However, the quality on this one is through the roof. So, though it is a little pricey here overall, it is worth it for the product. The staff here are very friendly, quick, and efficient. Though they deal with these large crowds seemingly everyday, they are always pleasant to interact with. My waits for food are always less than they say, and I appreciate their hard work! I would love to see some type of online or phone ordering system for this location, as I know it exists for their other spot about 10 minutes away. As an FYI, they used to be cash-only, but started taking cards sometime in the past few months. This is a must-try spot in South Philly, both for locals and visitors. It is so popular that they are opening another location, as of May 2026. The food is worth the wait, and the sometimes hassle, that comes with ordering here. You can even make some friends while you wait for your order. I highly recommend Angelo's to anyone thinking about giving it a try! I am already looking forward to my next trip here and trying more of their menu.

    Eating leftovers, beef heated up so well. So so good. Angelos is the best.

    One of the best places we visited in the city. Had to hit it up twice. Yup not for the faint of heart. The sandwiches are hefty. Couldn't finish it. Friendly service let them know your new and they'll help you. Stay left to order. The right lane it for pay and pick up. It's hot inside and outside lol heat wave while visiting. Not seats took our food again to the hotel. It was a 8 min uber ride back. Still hot when we got to the room. Love this establishment and all who make it possible to experience the greatness Philadelphia has to offer. Happy 4th 250th Birthday

    Liz D.

    Finally made it to the best! I have been hearing all Angelos and made the trek from NYC. The other location was closed so I expected some traffic at this location. There was a line and we were told as soon as we got in that it would be an hour wait. We chose to wait it out. Glad we did. It really took less than 30 minutes. It clears out quick so we were even able to grab a seat. About 20 dollars for a sandwich. I did hate there arent smaller versions. Pretty standard vibe inside. Definitely the best I've had so far. I recommend!

    Ask the Community - Angelo's Pizzeria

    Is the grandma pizza vegetarian?

    yes normally

    Everyone raves about your food but I'm wondering if there is anything gluten free I could order there?

    Ha ha the majority of the menu absolutely not if you're into sausage and peppers with no bread, there you have it!!!!

    Do they accept credit cards or Apple Pay?

    They are cash only.

    Do they do by the slice?

    Nope! But you'll want to eat a whole pie anyway

    The yelp menu and the website menus are different. Which one is more current?

    the menu changes a lot. I would definitely go based off the website, and when in doubt give them a call!

    Can one walk in and order or is it phone orders only? Thanks.

    You can walk in...they're quick.

    How long is the wait? Wanted to order ahead before I drive 1.5 hours but not too ahead either.

    Around 30-40 minutes depending on the time of day/day you go. Weekend lunch time is about 40 minutes

    Does anyone know a team member who I could get in touch with? I'm hoping to connect with someone on a potential collaboration, but have been unable to get ahold of anyone associated with the shop so far. Just looking for an email or phone number!

    DM Danny on insta, however collab influencer nonsense isn't gonna happen there so if that's what you want to do save your time and theirs.

    Does anyone know if they've reopened? I saw that they were meant to by February 15th.

    No, not for a few more weeks, early March at the earliest. (Per their Instagram)

    Are they back open again since the fire?

    Not yet. Sounds like things are taking longer than expected and tied up with the insurance company.

    What's the best time of day and day of the week to order?

    I ordered on Saturday (which I'd imagine is pretty busy for a pizza spot in the city). Also ordered around 2:40PM or so. I had to call them 67 times because the phone kept ringing busy...but eventually got through. So don't give up if you're… 

    Do they have seedless rolls or only the sesame rolls?

    They have both

    Is this place open? How does it work with no phone number, you can't crowd into order and wait these days!

    It is closed due to covid-19 shutdown and yes you crowd in there or order leave and come back.

    Is this place doing slices at lunch? If yes, what's available?

    Yes but it's not always the same. They usually have 2-3 pies for slices.

    Does this place have Detroit style pizza? I can't tell if the upside down jawn is detroit style. can anyone please confirm. thanks .

    Short answer: no The upside-down-jawn is more flirting towards a focaccia/Sicilian (but superior). My current favorite pizza and worth checking out.…

The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a bartender whose hostility was immediate and inescapable. His disdain for customers was so palpable that nearly every patron at the bar was openly discussing it, people were literally afraid to order drinks from him. He met every request with eye rolling contempt, as if our very presence was an imposition. Later in the night, when I ordered a drink from a different spot at the bar, he barked at me for doing so. Apparently that wasn't "how things worked here." Never mind that the bar was nearly empty and obviously unassigned seating. The pettiness was staggering. That was my breaking point. I called him out for his abusive treatment of paying customers.. Instead of addressing the obvious problem, a manager approached me with a threat: "We know how he is, but if you don't relax, you're gonna have to leave." Let that sink in. Rather than deal with a employee with an apparent pattern of hostility, they chose to intimidate a customer for voicing a legitimate complaint. Multiple patrons actually thanked me afterward, they'd endured the same treatment all night but lacked the nerve to speak up. I documented the experience on their Instagram. They deleted it immediately. This isn't a bad night...it's a culture problem. Paulie Gees has chosen protection over accountability, and their customers are the ones paying the price. I won't be back, and I'd urge others to take their business elsewhere.

Best Italian hoagie I have ever had. We also got to take home the extra seeded rolls. Peppers and eggs on a Pizza Bedia seeded roll the next morning didn't suck.

I personally would order this as my meal if I could. room temp, oily, good crunch to soft ratio. Judion Beans: good beans. they are on a similar wavelength as butter beans. honestly I get them for the table for the extra bowl of oil at the bottom to dip the crusts in. Creamy Oregano Salad: very interesting. small shaves of mushroom and fennel. very slight bitter taste. oddly addictive. the olives were my favorite part. i'd consider these friendly olives to those suspicious of olives. and the olives are cut in halves, so easy to pick out. so are the mushrooms. easy split for a table of four. beyond that i'd get two. *ADD ON* pickled chilies: very good. I suggest adding this to the pie. they are green, spicy, delicious, absolutely lovely. Corn Pizza: all together very delicious. my favorite part are the cherry tomatoes on top, which I would really like to be an add on option to other pies. they are the perfect flavor and size. i'm not particularly a tomato fan, especially whole. these are a rare exception. Classic Pizza?: solid, no notes. good as always. My only wish is that they offered a sauce to dip my crust in. they have very good crust, perfect ration of crispy and fluffy. just needs a sauce. Overall, great service, the manager greeted us to check on our meal, our server was attentive, the vibe is great inside.

    cute restaurant in center city with the iconic spicy chicken caesar!…read more all i can say is: spicy chicken caesar. it lives up to the hype, and it is delicious. i've eaten here several times now and none of the other food is particularly memorable, but the spicy chicken caesar is fantastic albeit a little expensive. i really need my boyfriend to learn how to make the spicy chicken caesar so i stop coming back, but it makes for a fantastic girl dinner. most of the times i've come here were either for restaurant week or the spicy chicken caesar. i really don't think it's worth coming for restaurant week, it's kind of a bummer that your whole table has to order the same thing and that you share a lot of the dishes. it ends up being not a whole lot of food, and i did the math and the cost comes out to be about the same. overall, it's a decent restaurant with good service. it's located right in center city with a million other restaurants so it's easily overlooked, but when i think of prunella i think of spicy chicken caesar.

I'm a native NYer who loves his pizza and living in SF, really good, NY style pizza is hard to come by. While this place is "fast food," it's always hot and fresh tasting and exactly what east coast pizza should taste like. After a long day of working in Philly, this is one of my go to cravings. The space is large and bright and the service is fast and friendly.

This location had 3 employees behind the counter running all over the place, multiple ones asking what we wanted and not sure who was supposed to be working on what. For it not being busy, it seemed chaotic and more time consuming than it should be. Multiple people were checking on their orders, so there wasn't a good number system/time estimate in place. We got the gnarlic knots which were decently tasting, but since it was to go, we didn't check it before it left. They didn't put on the parm-romano cheese and they didn't include the garlic dipping sauce. It just seemed like the running around not knowing who was going what led to oversight. There are tables to dine in, but it's not too much to expect not to inspect food to go to make sure it's as ordered. It seems like this location was just disorganized and the quality of the food suffered.

Fortunately, I got booked on a flight out the next morning and found a hotel in the city. Other than running to a drug store, my only other time leaving my hotel was to grab dinner at Pizzeria Vetri across the street. I enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. I was immediately seated upon arriving to Pizzeria Vetri. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, at a table, or at the pizza counter. I chose the pizza counter so that I could watch staff making pizzas. As I was there on my own, the serving staff continued to stop by and check on me. The menu includes neopolitan pizzas (12" feeding 1-2 people) and metro pizzas (28" feeding 3-4 people). They make pizzas, calzones, antipasti, and salads. I chose a Neapolitan-style pepperoni pizza consisting of pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh oregano. It was quite filling and absolutely delicious! They also sell pizza kits so that you can make your own pizza at home. Pizzeria Vetri was created to celebrate the art of authentic pizza making. They aimed to create simple food made exactly the right way using the best and freshest ingredients served in a space where all are welcome. You can visit the Pizzeria Vetri website (https://www.pizzeriavetri.com) to order online, see menus, details about all four locations as well as to learn about classes, hosting events, and catering options. You can sign up for PV Perks at https://www.pizzeriavetri.com/pv-perks. You earn 25 points for signing up and one point for every dollar spent. You receive a $5 discount for every 50 points redeemed. They also have Happy Hour specials. I certainly enjoyed the experience and would go back again iid in the area.

One of our party is vegan and we told the waiter and he said ok great. As we sat there watching them create pizzas the amount of cross contamination was unreal. No one was wearing gloves and just digging their hands in raw meats, veggies and cheese. There was cheese I almost all the other biggie bins.

    Pizzata is our top choice in Center City for artisanal, neighborhood pizza. While we occasionally…read moreorder from chains, this is easily our favorite local takeout option. Their plain pies strike a great balance between thin crust and traditional hand-tossed pizza. My wife prefers thinner pizza, while I lean toward something with a bit more structure, and somehow this lands perfectly in the middle. The large plain pie is also very fairly priced for Center City these days, especially considering the quality. A large plain pie with no toppings generally feeds about three people, depending on appetite size, maybe four if people are eating lightly. The garlic knots are excellent, pickup times are reliable, and the place always feels lively. They've clearly built a loyal neighborhood following. I look forward to trying more specialty pies, especially the Brooklyn Upside Down. What I appreciate most is that it feels like a real neighborhood pizza spot, not overly polished or trendy, just consistently very good. The pizza also feels a bit different from a classic New York-style pie in a way that's hard to describe but really works. We've ordered it in for friends and family visiting from out of town, and people are always impressed. Pizzata sets up tables in good weather for casual dinners with kids. It's also convenient that they're on the Slice app for digital orders. Highly recommend if you want excellent Center City pizza for takeout or a casual sit-down experience. Thank you!

    Pizzata, your round pie crust shines (cracker thin, crispy, crawnchy, no flop) but the rest…read more... Definitely room for improvement. While I can't speak for a bulk of their menu, I can say that I was left wishing I had ordered their pizza al' tagglio instead of the classic, "Queen Margherita." We arrived around 8:30 on a Saturday night, not realizing they close at 9, and were among the last customers to order. So, a little PSA!!! Get there earlier if you're out and about on the weekend. The cashier's energy made it pretty clear the staff was ready to wrap up for the night, and unfortunately, that seemed to carry over into the overall experience. Our order took about 20 minutes to come out, and while the crust was addictive, the pizza as a whole felt lackluster. The sauce was your rather basic crushed whole peeled tomatoes that seemed hand crushed and spread thinly over the perfectly crisp crust. And I do mean perfect folks. The blobs of half melted mozzarella were randomly scattered atop like a Dalmatian's spots and despite the menu stating parmesan was supposed to be there, I saw no trace. Same goes for the EVOO. Once fresh basil leaves were scattered atop but lost their vibrancy since the had obviously been added to the pie before putting it in the oven. Rating: 7/10 (the crust is the savior here) All in all, I would absolutely give Pizzata another go. The Roman-style pizza gets a lot of love, and after seeing photos of some of their other pies, they've still got me salivating so I am not writing them off just yet. The Margherita may not have wowed me, but that crust alone is definitely something worth coming back for.
