I just do not understand all the hype about this place. The first thing people said to me when I told them I was moving to Lakewood was something along the lines of "Oh golly, you've got to try some of those Angelo's pizza pies!" I came in with high hopes and left utterly disappointed. This place rides the hype train harder than former hype train conductor Johnny MoneySignsToTheSky Manziel. I don't think their pizza was necessarily terrible, but nowhere near the best pizza on the West Side. Hell, I wouldn't even consider them the best pizza in Lakewood. I've tried their pizza multiple times with a few different sauces, and every time I left feeling like it was somewhere between average and subpar. Also, as a word to the wise: a pizza with alfredo sauce with cheese on top sounds good, but after two slices you're going to hate yourself. It was so damn creamy. Creamy is not an adjective I look for in my pizza.
Alright, I gave this place 3 stars, so obviously it wasn't all bad. I don't like their pizza. That's a fact. However, I did have some sandwiches and things there that were pretty good. I've ordered appetizers with my meal that were solid as well. Did they make up for the disappointing pizza? No. Were they good enough to keep this review from being a total hatchet job? I guess. That first paragraph was pretty rough though.
Final verdict: I compared their pizza to Johnny Manziel. That's a bad thing. If I was faced with the choice between Angelo's and Pizza Hut it would probably come down to a coin flip and while the coin was in the air I'd secretly hope it came up Pizza Hut. If you must go here get a sandwich. If you must get pizza go somewhere else.
