“For my visit / review of Angelotti's Pizza tonight: Highly Recommended. 8.5/10 for the pizza and 5/5 stars overall for the restaurant. I ordered the large "Butcher's Block", which consists of Mozzarella, Pepperoni, Bacon, Sausage, Ham, and Meatballs. On Tuesdays & Thursdays, this massively loaded pizza is only $21.29. I added dollops of fresh ricotta for only $1.90. I enjoyed this much more than I expected. I always plan to only have 2 slices when I do reviews and I had 3 tonight as it was so good. Crust: 24 hour fermentation; hand tossed; cooked in Baker's Pride ovens (2) at 500°. Excellent bake with a crisp texture. Very airy. Cooked on screens before transfer to brick. Flavorful. Good chew. They use the industry standard "All Trump's" flour. 8.5/10. Sauce: Flavorful and fresh yet mild. Contributes to the overall flavor and blends well but does lack some boldness and was slightly thin. 7.5/10. Cheese & Toppings: High quality toppings. Everything seemed fresh. They advised their toppings are made fresh daily and are sourced locally. The ham was the best I've had so far. The bacon (thick cut) was incredibly flavorful as well. Not crisp but very enjoyable. Loved the fresh ricotta. The mozzarella also had a good flavor and had a good melt. Sausage flavor was good but the crumbles were a little sparse and left me wanting more. Lots of meatball, which was tasty. Pepperoni was good and had a little spiciness as it should. 8.5/10. Size/Value: This pizza was a tremendous value all around. They advertise the large as 16", but my measurements show it as 18". Your experience may vary but their serving tray (HS Inc. HS1034) is an 18" Pizza Pleezer Pizza Tray and mine fit edge to edge. (Bonus +.1) Relaxed, casual family friendly environment with a large game room featuring pool, air hockey, and a variety of other games. When you first arrive, you can seat yourself in the large dining area with plenty of seating and the server will come take your order. They also offer a large party room available for reservations and is often booked back to back (tonight was graduations). (Bonus + .1) Clean restaurant with very good service. Huge menu with a ton of variety. Desserts looked good and they even have hot chocolate 🔥 🍫 on the menu, which I've never seen before but I'm a hot chocolate fanatic so that was interesting to see 😂 Owners are actively engaged in the community and Angelotti's has been a staple in the area for 40 years and have long standing employees. They offer 10% discount to seniors and Key members. They are a faith based business with faith/positive messages throughout the restaurant. They are carrying on their mother's legacy as she unfortunately passed 2 years ago from breast cancer. This is a great business to continue supporting and I now understand their popularity in the community as this was my first visit. They have a very large menu with something for everyone. Looking forward to trying some dessert with hot chocolate next visit 🙂“
