| - When you first walk into Jerry's Nugget and see Uncle Angelo's you'll think it looks like a nice pizza parlor. It has a lot of Italian style paintings and posters and looks very homey. You would not be wrong in this perception. It is a nice pizza parlor. And that is it. There is nothing super about its appearance, but it is quaint.
I waited to be seated several minutes before I was attended too. They only had one service person when I was there. This person was the host, wait staff, and cashier. Once I was seated I was attended too very well, at least until I was ready to go. Then I did have to wait several minutes again until my check was brought to me. Even though I mention this I do have to say that I don't feel that I had to wait an excessive amount of time. Just a bit more time and it would have been excessive, but it did not reach that for me.
I started with a house salad. It had a mixture of lettuces that were very enjoyable. I did of course have to select my favorite salad dressing, which I am sorry to tell you is Thousand Island. I am sorry to tell you that not because I think there is anything wrong with Thousand Island; but most people consider it a kids salad dressing and an adult should get Blue Cheese or Italian or something as fancy. I don't mind fancy dressings, but TI is still my favorite. Their Thousand Island was done very well. It was just the right consistency, not to thin or too thick. It had a nice flavor to it as well. It was not acidic or sweet. It was a nice balance of both.
My entree was a Meatball Parmesan Calzone. When I received my Calzone I was stunned. This Calzone was so large I did not know if I would be able to finish it (I did not). The Calzone was the size of a football cut in half horizontally. The crust was very flaky with a nice pizza dough flavor and texture. You could feel the texture of the gluten in a good way. The Calzone contained four meatballs. Each was the size of a lime. Sometimes restaurants have a tendency to overwork their meat. Meatballs and Meatloaf are more like slimyballs or slimyloaf. This was not the case in my Calzone. The meatballs had the proper consistency and were flavored wonderfully. The four meatballs lay in a bed of Parmesan cheese. This cheese was nice and stringy and had a great flavor. It chewed nicely. There was no sauce in the Calzone itself. There was a serving of marinara on the side for dipping. The combination of crust, meatball, cheese and marinara worked very well. I so much wanted to finish my Calzone but wanted to have dessert.
I decided to try their Zappoli. The description itself made me put on five pounds. 'Fried dough tossed with powdered sugar and topped with chocolate and raspberry sauces'. Sounds good, doesn't it. The description does not do it justice. The Zappoli was served on a round plate 12" across. You might laugh and think I am exaggerating. Let me tell you, I am being truthful. This dessert was made to serve at least four people. There were about three dozen of the fluffy, lighter that air Zapploi. In the center was a large lovely pile of whipped cream also covered with the chocolate and raspberry. But, there were also four more piles of whipped cream equidistant around the edge of the plate. Again, covered with the sauces. Each bite was a bit of heaven. I did have to stop though. More and I would have made myself sick. All of this with my drink was only $20.00 (prices subject to change). I do highly recommend a trip to Uncle Angelo's Pizza Joint. But only if you take a few friends to help you eat all that they put in front of you.
