Angelo's

Angelo’s Pizzeria in South Philly is hands down one of the best spots in the city for both pizza and cheesesteaks, and it absolutely lived up to the hype when I brought a couple buddies there on a Saturday at peak time. This place has built a serious reputation over the years- especially for their bread, which they make fresh in-house daily- and that alone puts them in a different league. We pulled up to a long line, but don’t let that scare you- it moves pretty quickly and is 100% worth the wait. We ordered the Diavlo pizza (Italian long hots, hot sausage, homemade arrabbiata, red pepper flakes, fresh garlic) along with a cheesesteak, and both were unreal. The pizza had a perfect balance of heat and flavor, and the crust was exactly what you want- crispy, airy, and fresh. The cheesesteak lived up to its reputation too, with that signature bread really making the difference. After ordering at the counter, we got the text to pick up the food in about 10–15 minutes, which is impressive given how busy it was. The staff kept things moving and were all really friendly despite the rush. One thing to keep in mind: there’s no seating inside or outside, so plan ahead. A lot of people grab their food and find a spot nearby or head to a park to eat, which honestly adds to the experience. Overall, this is a must-visit Philly staple at this point. If you’re in the city, you’ve got to try both the pizza and the cheesesteak. I’ll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone!

Me n my bros came from Commiefornia to Philly to see the All-Star game and eat cheesesteaks. Doing research, we all agreed Angelos was a necessary stop. To compare, we earlier in the day tried both Pat's and Geno's so we had something to compare it to. We got there 30 min before they opened, and there was already a line. We were the 7th to place an order and we didn't get our food til almost 11:20. And it was worth it. We got a pizza and cheesesteak. The pizza was decent. Nice crust. My bro who ordered, forgot to add pepperoni, which I think would have kicked it up a notch, leaving the cheese and basil pizza just OK. Not something I'd get again, but the cheesesteak, oh my. After opening the wrapper, we knew this was going to be next level. The mix of meat and cheesy yumminess was off the chart. First bite was incredible, and of the 3, we all agreed on the champion. Will definitely come back if ever in Philly. Thx Angelo 😋

Loved everything about it. Meet a friend to look at his boatlift, he suggested we get a late lunch at Angelo's. Its my first time in Philly and really wanted a great cheese steak. They did not disappoint, it was huge, delicious and we ate at a nearby park. It was the perfect end to a great trip to the area. The bread was soft with just the right amount of chewy, the steak was mixed perfectly with a ton of cheese. I am in love and now have my goto for cheese steaks in Philly. Thank you to Chris for taking me there, you made my trip much more enjoyable.
