Michelangelo's Pizzeria & Whiskey Bar

This place has a sports bar type atmosphere, which is great if that isbwhat you're looking for. I was hoping for more of a medium/high end Italian restaurant based on previewing thier menu.
The service was great from Matthew but getting our food did take longer than expected.
We ordered brushetta, a large pizza, chicken Alfredo pasta and lasagna. The lasagna was the highlight and the brushetta was disappointing. It had very little flavor and the bread was sliced way too thick.
The pizza had great potential but needed to be cooked for another 5 minutes or so, it was a Chicago crust that was barely beige.
The pasta came with soup or salad, the Italian wedding soup was excellent
Maybe they just had an off night with the pizza and pasta flavors?

This place was recommended by someone for pizza and old fashioneds. My sis had the old fashioned and said it was fine. But the pizza was amazing! New York crust, The picasso and the Monet. So so so good! Omar was amazing with above and beyond service. Our bartender made this drink specially for me upon request. We ate in the bar area so it was a little loud so if you want quieter maybe go to the dining room. But you can not go wrong here!

Great pizza, I ordered a 3 topping, fresh tasting ingredients. I would go back. I would have graded everything fives however I didn't really get a chance to see how the inside looked as I was just picking up food as the four out of five star rating. Great service here for the 3 minutes I was in there they were very attentive and I got my pizza within 3 minutes of me walking through the door when I was 10 minutes early from the time they quoted. Great service! The pizza was pretty darn good I was driving back to fowler so by the time I got back, it wasn't as hot as it could have been but I still enjoyed it very much. I don't know what I would compare it to but I used to love the pizza chukchansi has on their buffet and then they changed it after they reopened after covid. And this pizza comes the closest to replicating that pizza which is one of my favorites.

This is the first time I visited this restaurant. If you ever find yourself in Fresno, this is an absolute must go!

If you like bourbon, must go!
If you like homemade Italian food, must go!
If you like restaurants with a really cool vibe, must go!.

I sat at the bar and Diego was my bartender. I learned this restaurant is famil owned and ran. I had in of the best experiences ever. I am of Sicilian heritage and definitely needed to put the menu to the test. It was recommended I have the meatballs and Calzone. I had Diego pick the fillings of the Calzone.

The Meatballs brought me back to my childhood when my Nana made them. The Meatballs were full of flavor and very moist. The sauce was definitely not from a can. Homemade for sure.

The Calzone was fluffy, cooked perfectly and full of flavor.

When I go back to Fresno, this will definitely be a stop.

I can’t believe we haven’t written a review sooner! This place is simply the best. The best Old Fashioneds, best pizza, best pastas and absolute best service. Every time we come, we feel right at home! The folks at the bar (shoutout to Diego and the tall guy with glasses (I feel awful for not remembering his name!)) always remember both our food and drink orders, and they can always give great recommendations on the menu… on the off chance we order something other than the Calabrese and a Van Gogh.

To summarize, Michelangelo’s is always the right choice. Thank you all for everything you do to keep us coming back!

P.S. I copy and pasted my review from Yelp but just wanted to make sure they received the right recognition on all platforms! 😌

First time there and had the best customer service experience! Omar, the owner’s son was our server, my wife mentioned that it was our first time there and it was all VIP service from there. JR, the owner, welcomed us to his restaurant but it felt like he welcomed us to his family- which by the way is a family based and also ran by family! Visiting from Riverside and I can’t wait for me next visit. The pizza and pasta was fresh and homemade with unique flavors. Must try if you’re in town!

Awesome family business with an epic bar packed with unique and flavorful whiskeys, tequila, and other alcohols. Friendly staff willing to explain their favorites and recommendations. Stumbled upon this from Google and went back two days in a row. Even have some bottles of the rare stuff for sale. You can’t go wrong here, even if just for an old fashioned. Food is just as good and does not disappoint.

The food was excellent. I had the Michaelangelo skillet with sausage 😋 delicious. I love my veggies and this didn't disappoint the nice chunks of sausage added a little spice. So yummy. My husband and mother had the lasagna. Both were very satisfied. My mom is a little picky sometimes but she really liked it. My son had a stromboli. He said it was great. We actually went in to get pizza but so glad we tried what we did. We still left with a pizza. It was a little loud but a birthday party was at a close table and they were enjoying themselves.

We are from Pgh and stopped in for dinner. Party of 8. Got seated at the bar area and got one of the owners as our server. He is the Dallas fan of the owners to be clear. This guy was 10 out of 10 in service. It's his place, but he went out of his way to make sure we were all given excellent service. If we lived anywhere near here we would be back often. Food was very good and atmosphere was 5 stars. I own a pizza shop and this family does it right! Thanks guys and go Steelers.
