I'm going to be completely honest here this place is either a hit or miss. Ive learned that timing is everything. If you want their best pizza, it's better to go between 11am-1pm (especially as soon as they open @11am). That's when the pizza is the freshest & hasn't had a chance to sit around. One thing I can always count on is their speedy service. Even when the line is long the staff keeps things moving. The bakers work hard making fresh pizza,cookies/some baked treats,& breads daily. The staff taking orders are just ok. I do wish they were a little more friendly. There's usually 2 different women who work the register(there's only 1)@ a time. Today I had 2 plain cheese slices & they were amazing. They were so fresh & piping hot str8 out the oven(so hot they were literally steaming). My tastebuds & tummy were both super happy. I love their sauce & cheese & they're not stingy w/ them either. I might have to grab a jar of their homemade sauce they sell next time (that's how much i love it). The pizza reminds me more of a NYC style slice b/c the crust is fairly thick & it's not thin like the usual CT. pizza. The slices had that classic foldable, satisfying bite. I came around 11am right around opening time so the pizza was fresh out the oven & not reheated which made a huge difference. The inside is pretty small but there are a few tables if you want to dine in. Decor wise, don't expect anything fancy(it's pretty basic & bare). But let's be honest, you come here for the pizza! The best spots are a hole in the wall places & this 1 def fits that description. If you catch them @ the right time, the pizza is absolutely worth the visit! read more

Recently ordered 20 of their buffalo wings. The bill should come to about $23 with tax. Apparently they charge 50% for a tip because when I checked my receipt the bill was $33.70. When I asked about it, the girl said I would have to speak to the manager who wasn't there. read more

Quick stop on my way out of town after a Yale baseball game, I popped in for a quick bite. It absolutely hit the spot! Two huge slices and a water for around $10, and boy, was it amazing! The staff was friendly, and I might have grabbed a whole pie if I wasn't driving an hour. This joint is on my "must return" list! read more

Michaelangelo Pizza & Subs Restaurant - Sausage & pepperoni slice + a pepperoni slice - Pizza Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

Haven't had a meal from this place in a while. This quaint Italian deli doesn't look like much on the surface, but the staff is friendly and the food is fantastic. Right when you walk in, you're hit with an amazing aroma that makes you want to take a nice deep breath. This place is the real deal. I got two pasta dishes. The linguine with broccoli, garlic and oil had a generous amount of fresh garlic and broccoli crowns. Good flavor and texture all around. The gnocchi with tomato sauce was even better; the gnocchi itself had a pillowy soft texture and their made-in-house tomato sauce is to die for. In fact, the sauce was so good that I brought some home. You can purchase fresh jars of their tomato sauce and marinara sauce right from the counter; both are delicious. Finally, the salads had fresh and crisp vegetables. This isn't your average deli. If you like Italian food even somewhat, you need to give this place a try. read more

After having a few hit, or miss experiences with the usual favorite pizza spots, we decided it was time to return and give Michaelangelo's a try. It was beyond divine. The crust was cooked to perfection. The super fresh seasoning, eggplant and garlic on the white pie literally melted in your mouth. It was definitely one of the most astounding pizzas I have ever had, and truly memorable! The restaurant was clean, service was wonderful and fortunately it wasn't too crowded. We even splurged on a piece of chocolate mousse cake, which was also awesome. read more

Horrible service. I went in to Michelangelos the woman was folding boxes for pizzas. My 86 year old mother asked for a small salad, she was told they re in the cooler. All of the salads are large . I told the woman she only needs a small one and she said they are for dinners. Not asking if we were ordering other foods or trying to accommodate my elderly mother. It's a shame when people are so busy folding boxes that they can't attend to the customer read more

One of my Yelp friends, Marie, had reviewed MPAS not long ago, and she mentioned it's her "go-to" place for eggplant/garlic pizza, so I knew it was only a matter of time. Well that time was a few days ago, driving back to Windsor Locks from Yonkers. I called when I was about 30 mins away, hoping to order a few slices. While they sell slices for more common pies, they only sell pies for egglant/garlic. So a whole (small pie) it was. Located in a strip mall-type area w limited parking. On entering, my first impression was "Wow". Great looking bread, a small steam table, lots of other slices on display. Decided to try a slice at one of the 3 tables. One slice became two, which turned into three! I am a big fan. The amalgam of light sauce, with fresh garlic (enough to ward off any local vampires) and eggplant pieces on an excellent crust hit all the right notes. Alas, my palate does not have the octave range that Marie has. Also, I was close to being in a carb coma (having done pizza in Yonkers a few hours earlier). Interesting place, definitely recommend. A solid 4 stars. read more

Perfect pizza place! So many options. Chicken parm super tasty. Great red sauce! Taking home some stuffed bread for the kids. Wish the place was closer to home. Super nice staff too. read more

I grew up on this pie with it being just down the road from my parents house. This was a weekend staple, it's slightly thicker and chewier vs. the traditional New Haven style apizza. Quality ingredients with a quick turn around time of about 20 minutes if you're calling in the order. It makes this an excellent choice in the area! Top 5 pie joints in CT for sure! read more

Very disappointed with Michaelangelo's as I have been a regularly customer and a new customer that I sent there yesterday was treated kindly last night and very rudely by the owner this afternoon. Last night after traveling 30 mins back home, the new customer opened up her meal to discover that she was missing items on her sandwich. After calling back and speaking to someone and explaining that the items were missing, she said to come back and grab a new 1. Well establishment closes at 9pm and she would able to get there to have a sandwich remade. So she opted to pick it up after she got off from work the next day. She was assured that she can pick it up at 430pm. Whomever was on phones was very rude and state that they knew nothing about the order and that they didn't know who was working last night ( the "owner" could be heard saying to get the person off of their phone and that they just wanted a free meal and can have the missing items only). Instead of not assuming that a customer is trying to get free food, they, someone should have investigated they issue and not lie about it because they didn't give a shit about the customer. I doubt that they didn't know who was working the night before. I also doubt that when they mess up, that they treat everyone the same. With a nasty attitude and lack of patient give a fuck, we will not be patronizing this place again. Great pizza and subs but horrible owner and a horrible order taker. The order taker the night before was very pleasant and respectful. The kitchen fucked up and the owner and order taker didn't want to acknowledge it the next day. Shame on them. You keep this up and you will not be doing as well are you are. There are certain people that KARMA don't like to see disrespected. Ya betta know it! To the last night order taker, run, get out of there... They can't be trusted!!! Ya betta believe it.... Seen it too much. read more

It was a take out. Pizza choice was eggplant. It was delicious very crispy just like I asked for it. We had the tortellini's à la carbonara. They were awesome to die for. I want it more than I was mad because I asked for a little bit only they were delicious. We had the bruschetta flavorful crispytomatoes had great flavor read more

Ate here after the sunburn windburn festival at Yale last Saturday. There were 3 of us old fellas, and...to borrow and tweak a Jeff Ross line..."you've seen younger faces on cash". I know what the other 2 guys ordered but I forget what they said, probably because I couldn't hear them. I got the stuffed bread with broccoli rabe, sausage, and cheese. I can't stop thinking about it. It's the best thing I've eaten this year. read more

Been going here for years and I like the food. It's definitely a good place for a quick bite or takeout. They have lots of options to choose from. read more

Love their pizza! They also have wheat crust! The BEST, most delicious vegetable pizza I've ever had! They also have a big selection of non pizza items, homemade bread and sauce. Annissette cookies too, just wish they offered the lemon flavored ones, even if they're not traditional. I don't care for the anise flavor. read more

Michaelangelo Pizza & Subs Restaurant - Veggie pizza, yum!!! - Pizza Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

First, there is a big sign on the front door mandating masks. I thought, great someone gets it and is willing to enforce this basic precaution. When I walked in, I was horrified to see most every employee with either no mask or mask under the chin or my personal favorite, mask just under the nose. Feels like people are oblivious to the fact that 85% of the virus a sick person gives off, comes out their nose. They got the order wrong and it was basically is was borderline raw. The raw part was actually good since we put the thing in our oven to burn off any possible virus. I would avoid this place if you are even moderately concerned that the infection rates are climbing and these folks just don't care. read more

Oh boy, how did I not know about this place sooner?! Stellar. Stellar. Stellar. Zero ambience but the real authentic Italian food, pizza and pastries are enough to drive out of your way to find. Stuffed breads are incredible here. We opted for the eggplant parmigiano bread, which was beyond satiating. Great variety of pizza slices are available too. Run, don't walk... read more

I got a chicken cutlet sub was very very good fresh well made and had a generous portion of chicken very good would recommend. Also kind service they talked to me while I waited for my food good experience overall would recommend going.Hot Subs there are delicous read more

They have good food but the 5 stars is for the bread. A solid favorite amongst my group of friends on trips where we'll consume 2-3 large loaves. Not in the mood for Italian? Grab some bread here after you eat at Daiko across the street. read more

This was very disappointing eggplant bread expensive and no flavor! Brussetti was terrible. We would not order again. Prices way to high. Got delicious eggplant bread from roccos in new haven better price go for it! read more

I lived in New Haven until I was 21. For eight years, every time I've been in the area I stop here. The dinners are solid, the stuffed breads sell out because of how stuffed and tasty they are, and their sfogliatelle is delicious. Always did takeout. Too small on the inside to bring a group. I hope to have the opportunity to continue to visit for years to come. read more

Michaelangelo Pizza & Subs Restaurant - Best calzone you could get in ct - Pizza Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

Not the best slice in Elm City but not the worst either. You can get a much better slice of Za at "Pizza at the Brick Oven," in my opinion. Summary: Take 3-4 garlic knots, put them in a white bag with salt and pepper, shake it, and eat. And wash it down with water read more

Right along Route 34, you find this place that is a great option for a low key Italian sandwich, stuffed bread, pizza, amongst some other options. A friend of mine, has been here several times previously and suggested that we eat here. There are a handful of small booths for eating here, while they also do a steady business of take-out. We both opted to order sandwiches, one was a veal parm, the other was an Italian combo. Both of them were very tasty, although a little smaller than I would have expected. Particularly since their prices are a bit high. But all in all, this is a very good spot to grab some food and maybe a cannoli too. read more

Consistently great pizza! We enjoy pizza on a weekly basis and try out all of the different local places around New Haven. Michaelangelo remains as one of our very favorite places for pizza. Other places will occasionally dip in quality depending on who is in the kitchen, but Michaelangelo is always good. Crust is very good, and the sauce reminds me of the old "Bimonte's" pizza place in Hamden. Taking a bite at Michelangelo was like a blast from the past in the best way possible! Garlic knots are a nice side if you really like garlic. Lots of other items that we haven't tried yet, but they look good. Foxon Park soda is a good match. They can be busy of course, but order ahead and you should be fine. read more

Delicioso!! You would never know by driving by, that inside this mostly takeout pizza joint is an amazing product. Pizza absolutely rocks and I had homemade meatballs with homemade gravy that rivals anybody's! National treasure for people who really appreciate great pie and meatballs. MUCH MUCH better than Sally's or Pepe's. Modern Apizza is equal in the pizza department. The meatballs and sauce will make me go back someday. read more

One of the best pizzas in the area. It has withstood the test of time - been going there ever since I was in elementary school and the pizza has always tasted excellent. I've also had their made to order pasta dishes and it was pretty good for take out. However what makes this place great is their stuffed breads!!! I've had all of them but my favorite is the tomato/eggplant- yummmm. I'd eat that for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Just a tip: make sure to order ahead on a Friday night after 5 because that place gets packed!! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. My dad moved a few blocks away and we come here all the time. The pizza is great, the breads are to die for, and the chocolate cake is life changing. Definitely one of my favorite places to go with I'm in CT- highly recommend read more

the best and last of the reral pizza places of yesterday's times. great food!

I think this place has the best variety of real Italian food. Not just merely a place that sells pizza. I love their large varieties of stuffed breads. Their food are "just came out the oven" fresh. Plenty of seats to eat in. The displays are very inviting! There's only one this though, they don't deliver, I wish they change their mind soon and start to deliver. Real italian food delivered to your home would be a perfect combination... read more

Solid pizza and Italian takeout place on the West Haven/New Haven line. Most of my experience here is with pizza. They don't have a brick oven, so the pizza's not really "New Haven style" - the crust is of standard thickness, and doesn't get charred. But the pizza still tastes pretty good, and I order from here every couple of months when in the mood for a standard crust pizza. Have had a couple of their hot subs - the chicken parm is quite good, but both the eggplant parm and the meatball sub aren't that good, and I would not order either again. They're pretty efficient and even on a busy Friday night they usually have orders ready in around 25 minutes or less (sandwiches in only 10). The prices are unfortunately a bit high, especially for the pizza. A large with a couple of toppings will run $20+, which is a bit much for a neighborhood takeout joint. The subs run in the $7 range, which seems okay considering their size. read more

I have been going to this establishment for years, but today I had a horrible and upsetting experience. I walked in to get a takeout slice of pizza. I have an 18 Mo old service dog in training who is protected by the ADA law and is allowed in restaurants, although we had no intention of sitting down just getting a slice and leaving. the woman behind the counter kept screaming at me to get the dog out and said that it was an open food establishment. I explained that the dog had public access rights and that that was the law. I offered to show the woman the CT statute. She basically refused to serve me and was screaming at me saying she knows the law, walking away and telling me to shut up I asked for the name of the owner so I could explain the situation to them so that they would be informed about ADA accommodations. She kept screaming that it was a private establishment and told me to get out. She was derisive and mocking and incredibly stupid but that's besides the point. another worker did help me get a slice of pizza. I called later to try to get the name of the owner and she said she was not allowed to give out that information I gave my number and asked that that person call me although I have a little doubt that they will As I'm sure I was talking to screaming banshee that had been yelling in the storeoffered to show the woman the CT statute. read more

I use to come here frequently and the food was always very good. Unfortunately, the last three times I have been here have been disappointing. Today's visit was the worst. There was only one other party here when I arrived and they had already been served. I ordered a meatball and sausage parm sub. When it came out 25 minutes and two requests to check on my order later, it consisted of one small meatball cut in half, a 4- inch piece of sausage cut in half, and one slice of mozzarella. When you pay $8 dollars for a sub, you would expect it to be worth the price. I will not be back again. read more
