Angela’s has quickly become a favorite.Stop in. You’ll be glad you did. And when your there, tell Sam or Joe that Mike sent ya!“

“This place is truly a 5 star restaurant, if I could give it 6 stars I would. We had reserved a space for 20 people, and as you may know, it can be difficult to manage that many people. We had our own room for our party, and for one, the room was beautiful, it was so perfect and had a fantastic atmosphere that helped to foster the amazing time we were having.Chef Jenna is incredible. She is truly such an amazing person. She had a bouquet of flowers for my new wife, and they were stunningly beautiful. She also had a gift for my little niece who is about to turn one. She is truly a local gem I can't overstate itThe service we received was truly top notch, the food courses were delivered flawlessy, it was the most perfect amount of food, from the appetizers, salad, main courses, and more including the desert course. By the time we were at desert, we had just enough room. There was absolutely no course that any of the 20, including me and my wife, disliked.Everyone was truly blown away by the experience and I am not just saying that, I have never had such good service.Our water cups were always full, and everyone of the staff was truly so fantastic. Our main waitress was also SO AMAZING!If you are looking to celebrate an anniversary, wedding, or really any celebration, there is nowhere you can go in probably all of Grand Rapids and surrounding areas, that will provide you with such a flawless experience. It was truly the best experience and food we have ever had, and as cliche as it is, it is the truth. Every one of the 18 family members we brought were absolutely blown away, and that is almost unreal in this day and age.Thank you so much for making our wedding day more special, Amore!!!“

“Great food and friendly service! Chicken bacon ranch pizza was fabulous! We ordered online and they called us to make sure our pizza toppings were correct before cooking. A restaurant that cares about the quality of food they serve! Local favorite, affordable prices, highly recommend!“

“This was my first time at this restaurant and ordered an all meat burrito. It was very good. Everyone else ordered pizza and pasta. All of our food was delicious. Service was excellent even though it was very busy because it was Valentine's day. We received our food promptly without waiting too long. All in all it was a nice meal for my 91 year old mother on her birthday.“

“I ordered the Pickle Pizza because I had never heard of such a thing and it was incredible! So good - rich and buttery with a bit of sourness from the dill pickles and herbiness from the dill, truly the best ever! Another in my party ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and said it was the best ever. Had another pizza (sausage, pepperoni, mushroom) which was also awesome. Dessert pizza and brownie were huge.Highly recommended.We did order delivery but everything was still warm.“

“The lunch buffet was Amazing and pizza was delicious!!! We came in 30 min before it ended and all the pizza was still fresh and hot and lots to choose from. Way better than the lunch buffets in the Sparta area. The friendly staff even made us a fresh pizza with our favorite toppings even though we insisted it wasn’t necessary. We loved the salad bar too. Highly recommended for good pizza in the Rockford / Belmont area.Vegetarian options: Yummy salad bar with chicken & meats tooKid-friendliness: Salad bar had lots of healthy choices and the kids loved creating a salad and having a cinnamon dessert breadstick before leaving, too!“

“Lunch with my husband was delicious today :) We started off with fried pickles, which were hot, crispy, and tasty! We then shared a Margherita Pizza, which was also hot and equally as delicious. The balsamic drizzle on top was a nice touch. Our waiter was attentive and kind. Aside from it being a tiny bit cold inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was nice as well. We'll be back!“

“Love the food at Vitale's. Met a customer there the other day. We both had sub sandwiches, which were excellent. In the past, I have had their pizza and enjoyed that as well. The service was good, and the food arrived quickly. It's definitely a great place to eat, and a go-to for me when I am in the area!“

“more on the expensive side but it’s always excellent pizza. If you are a veteran you get a discount but riding with the app does not have an option to apply the discount. the work around is use the app but select pain at store. when you get there let them know you are.vet and they will adjust the price before you pay. Famous deep dish corners is great too“

“This place is seriously amazing!!! The prices are low and the food is so so so good. I’ve ordered the calzone 3 different times and have never been disappointed, the calzone is HUGE with a Parmesan buttery top and filled to the top with fresh meats and veggies. The bacon is so delicious here, I don’t know what it is about it but it’s made perfectly every time. Today, I ordered through Uber Eats and decided to try their sub sandwich and cheesy breadsticks and omg again perfect! On the app it doesn’t have an option for a dipping sauce nor did it say what it came with so to be on the safe side I requested either ranch or pizza sauce and they could charge me if it wasn’t included since it wasn’t in the original description, and I opened the box to find BOTH sauces at no extra charge and holy moly this ranch is to die for. I found my new favorite spot for pizza and saving so much money compared to other pizza places! Go CP pizza you’re the absolute best!!“

“The pizza is pretty good if you like thin crust, though there are not a lot of topping options available as the menu is pretty limited. Takeout is easy, if you are eating in the place is cold in the winter months and definitely could use some updates. Worth trying to see if you like the pizza as it is a very popular West Michigan staple.“
