Comfortable but no wow factor

by DRMT80

I've been going to Angelo's for years but not because I love their food but rather because of the relaxed atmosphere. Yes, the service is slow but you don't feel rushed. The food is alright. You can get a calzone that's just as good if not better at and Old Chicago or get a better tasting pizza from Black Jack or Famous. But, if you're more into the vibe of a place this is a good place. It feels like you're in a place with history.

• Pros: Atmosphere
• Cons: Slow Service

To Be Avoided

by DenverSurfer

Expensive, sticky tables, no happy hour, run-down looking, very s-l-o-w service. This place needs an extreme makeover.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Slow service, expensive, no happy hour

Wonderful neighborhood old-school italian

by jonathanlunatic

I've been going to Angelo's for 20 years. It is very good American-Italian food of an old-fashioned variety. They have quality ingredients, delicious red sauce, a nice variety of menu items other than their fine pizza & calzones, wonderful salads. Nice patio, nice table wine, friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere inside.

• Pros: Great patio, good variety of good affordable food
• Cons: none!

Children should not be in a restaurant kitchen

by pearlharbr

We've been to Angelo's a few times since moving into the neighborhood, but after our last experience we won't be going back. The food is ok, not the best Italian but fine for a cheap meal. On 3/21 we were seated next to a family I assume was the owner's that included three women, one man, and two young boys. Throughout our meal I watched as one of the boys ran around, played with his toys on the floor, ran his hands through the man's hair...and then went into the kitchen and put his hands on the counter surfaces. Blech. I usually try to not think about what can (and does) happen in restaurant kitchens, I can't ignore it when I see it for myself.

One of my favorite places to dine.

by shotthasheriff

I eat at Angelo's fairly often. It is one of my favorite local eateries. The food is tasty and always hot. The service is the best in Denver. Yes, I'm even talking better than places like North or Barolo Grill. You will not find a friendlier staff. If you are starving, no problem, you always get your food quickly.

The wine is inexpensive and decent. Ask for the thin crust pizza with meatball, sliced tomato and jalapeno. It's my favorite.

Also, Denver does not allow smoking in restaurants any longer so no worries there.

• Pros: Good food, inexpensive, great service
• Cons: None that I can think of.

Good but not great.

by mollybyrum

The Pizza Trio went to Angelo's and ordered garlic cheese bread, a large italian salad and two pizza's. The bread was so-so ... it was a loaf split in half with a lot of seasonings on top and some cheese (although it didn't taste very garlicky and could have been cheesier.) The salad was enough to share with three people and there were lots of goodies (carrots, cucumbers, pepperoni, cheeses, etc.) on the salad and I believe the dressings were home made and were quite good (we got ranch and vinagarette.) We ordered a pizza with chicken and garlic with red sauce (it would have been better with white sauce) and the other pizza was with sausage and red onions. The crust was very good- crunchy and thin and the chicken on the pizza was breaded which was different and not especially good. They were out of canoli's which a member of the Trio said was "yum" so we got the Tiramisu instead. It was good not great (it seemed like it had been sitting around for awhile- the filling was kind of custardy) and overall the food was pretty much good not great. The atmosphere is really cool (you feel like you are in an old Italian joint) and the service was alright. The location is easy for those of us who live down south and is easy for the downtowners.

• Pros: atmosphere, location
• Cons: The garlic bread is lacking in garlic

YUMMY!!!!

by bjacobs303

I've been to Angelo's a few times and have not been disapointed. Their chicken parm sandwich is so so so good! Last time I went I had a calzone and it was to die for!! It was so good! Now I find myself craving them!! You should definately try the calzones!! AMAZING!!!

• Pros: good food
• Cons: seats are uncomfortable

Delicious Local Eats

by humanistapproachtdc

Angelo's is a mainstay among my family's selection of local dine-in, delivery, and takeout pizza/Italian food. Some of the reviews posted complain of "cold, tasteless pizza" or "smoky atmosphere" or "gross." These reviews are simply unfair and inaccurate. This is not east coast pizza, but it is quality, hand-crafted, fresh pizza prepared with care. It is unique. Also, as a big fan of meatball sandwiches, I frequently tell friends and acquaintences that Angelo's version is easily in the top 5 in Denver. It may not match what you New York snobs consider to be "authentic" but the meatballs are home made, fresh, and big. It is delicious. Most other places give you microwaved Sysco Foods International Corp. meatballs.

Any lapse in service or cold pizzas would certainly be outside the norm. And there is no more smoking in Denver restaurants, so don't worry about that.

• Pros: Delicious, fresh, home-made, generous

Casual and Cozy

by ali_e

I'm mostly posting this because the "angry poster" review made me mad. My husband and I live within walking distance of Angelo's and enjoy eating there when we want to take our time having a sit-down but casual meal. The pizza may not be the best I've ever had, but it's really good. Lots of good ingredients -- and they don't skimp on the toppings. Our favorite thing to do is get salads, split a pizza and share a caraffe of their house chianti. Tirimisu is pretty good, too.

• Pros: Good Food, Reasonable Pricing, Great House Wine, Casual
• Cons: Not a huge menu -- just the basics

Yuck pizza, expensive restaurant

by prettyhot

What in the world is wrong with Denverites' tastebuds?

I am telling you, anyone who has had REALLY good pizza in their lifetime would never in a million years claim they like this place. Angelo's does not make a good pizza. Period. I have had their pizza twice. I went here out of desperation b/c it was the only thing open the night of the snowstorm. I wish I saved my $$$. The drinks are expensive including everything else on the menu. Dominos or a frozen is comparable. Maybe Denver needs to open up some real pizza places so this City can get a clue.

• Pros: Cozy interior
• Cons: Bad pizza, expensive everything.
