Angelo's Pizza is Incredible - They go the extra mile to serve excellent Pizza. The Upside Down Jawn is killer, I love the thick crust on this Pizza. It's to hard to explain why, just go taste it now. I also like to order custom made pizza's where I pick the toppings. Angelo's toppings are the highest quality ingredients. The cheese, sauce, pepperoni and sausage taste far better than most pizza establishments. The portions are huge. The sandwiches also look really good as well but I haven't tried them yet (and they even make the bread / rolls in house). Friendly and helpful staff. So happy I live nearby. Nice to see a Pizzeria focused on serving the best Pizza without shortcuts (and likely a hit to their bottom line in the process).
Highly Recommended

I enjoyed my visit my to Angelo's quite a bit. We had the upside down jawn with hot sausage- it was thirty bucks which is a bit pricey but you certainly get your moneys worth. It was big enough for two people to eat a filling dinner and still have almost half of it to take home.
It's an absolutely stunning looking pizza. Well made and well done, which is my preference. Not an abundance of cheese but the sauce had a nice even consistency to it and the sausage was well proportioned and delicious. They were out of bread the night we came so we're unable to try the sandwiches. It is cash only but has an ATM inside. No seating except four outside tables in the sidewalk but if you dine there you are sure to be able snag a table in the half hour it takes to make your pizza. 91/100 pizza points. -

Quite an authentic pizzeria, but unfortunately with a broken mixer at the time of my visit.
For a 32 minute wait to get 2 sandwich orders and fries, Cash Only, and the Hot interior with poor A/C and lack of sitting room, I'd give this establishment a 3/5.
Setting: My two friends and I came in with empty stomachs and great hopes for pizza. Plastered all along the walls there were signs of Broken Mixer, no pizza until further notice. Our hearts sank along with the beating hot sun. Unfortunately we were stuck ordering sandwiches, which the wait made quite disappointing.
Ambience: Functioning like a well oiled machine, the two cashiers took order after order and people literally flooded in for a solid 20 minutes in a continuous fashion.
Food: We waited for 32 minutes for our Karen and Philly Food Dude sandwiches, even though dozens of others had shorter waits.
The Karen - prosciutto overlying lovely arugula, tomato and chicken. The bread was a little on the thick side for me, but overall it was quite refreshing and quite the hefty portion size.
The PFD - I felt had been a bit dry, I liked the sauce, but felt slightly disappointed.
The fries were like a classic skinny fry with a nice balance of salt and crisp.
Tips/Takeaways:
-I will have to return when the pizza does too, as per all the rave recommendations
-For the wait on a hot sunny day in a hot mostly take-out restaurant, I'm unsure how often I would re-attempt that again...
-Overall, I'd recommend a return every 8 months for a classic, hefty, sandwich. -

Decided to try out Angelo's after hearing a lot of good things about this spot. They used to be located in south jersey and moved to South Philly. Purchased an upside down jawn (thick crust pizza with cheese and then sauce on top) with pepperoni. Adding toppings ranges from $3-$4 each. They only have one size of all of their pizzas and let me tell you that one pizza can feed at least 6-8 people. It's definitely a lot of pie!
Overall the pizza was good. The dough itself does not feel heavy. The star of the show is the tomato sauce. You can tell it's homemade and it had such beautiful taste to it. Like I said it's just a lot and I have at least pizza for 2-3 days. I would like to try their margarita pizza next. I bet i's divine. I probably won't get the pepperoni anymore as it was a tad bit too oily for my liking. -

The Upside Down Jawn is very tasty, which is why is am giving this place four stars. I also heard the sandwiches are amazing so I suggest everyone try this spot at least once. However, the Jawn is nowhere near as good as Square Pie (8th and East Passyunk). Also, the hassle of ordering from this place makes me hesitant from ordering from here again. First off, they don't take orders over the phone, so you have to walk in to place an order. Second, the place is always mobbed, so you're likely to wait 40-60 minutes to get your food. Third, this place is cash only. Fourth, there is no indoor seating. There are a few outdoor seats in the front of the place, but they are always full and will obviously be useless in the cold seasons.
When I ordered the Jawn, I grabbed a slice out of the box as soon as I got out of the place. That slice was the most delicious. By the time I got home 10 minutes later the dough was denser and not as delicious. But I have to admit that the sauce was very flavorful. It's definitely a good pie. Just be prepared for some hassle.
