| - I was delighted to see on a a recent trip to Southern Oregon that at least the Phoenix branch of Angelo's was still in operation. The store in Ashland, that used to be by the old bowling alley behind the Sentry grocery, is long gone. (note: the Medford store is also still in operation----thank GOD)
This place retains a completely unfeigned, throwback feel. They've been in the game since 1968, and taking in especially the insides of the place, it is hard to see that much if anything has changed--- and moreover, nothing NEEDS to change! I hope wiser and cooler heads remain at the helm @ Angelo's and don't try to fix something that clearly isn't broke.
Angelo's is at its best w/its thin crust style. I love their Lumberjack as well as their classic combo pies, as well as the Chef's and Meat Eaters specials, being a lover of all things spicy, with their house special Pepperoni, hot Italian sausage, green pepper, ground beef, black olives, and red onions. Angelo's really piles it on with the toppings, so if great value for your hard-earned moolah is important, that's the most important thing to know about this place.
Finally, If memory serves, Angelo's is the very first place I ever had taco pie pizza, as well as Chicken fajita... I loved 'em both, and so now it's a real dilemma going back, trying to decide what to get each time, subsequently. There's a few new items I don't remember seeing before on their menu, including a couple of chicken pizzas w/the white garlic sauce, as well as vegetarian. Their Mediterranean looks right up my alley.
Thanks for all the great memories, Angelo's, and what's more, thanks for all the great pizza! Southern Oregon is most definitely a better place, with you in it!
