Angelos

Ordered online, picked up, drove 15 minutes home. The crust was still super crispy. That tells you most of what you need to know.

"Order online. Skip the line. Reheat in the oven."

The logistics: Online order, pickup only — no dining in. The app showed 15 more minutes of wait time when we arrived, but the pies were ready. After a 15-minute drive home, the crust was still crispy. Not greasy. Large pies at $28–30 each. One important note: the pizza is noticeably better reheated — next time, straight into the oven before eating.

Pizzas Tried

1. White with Fungi & Sausage

A white pizza loaded with mushrooms, sausage, and roasted garlic cloves. The mushrooms are genuinely good — cooked through, worth ordering. The garlic divided the panel: GA found it too much, MA thought the balance was right. The roasted garlic cloves on top are a nice touch. A rich, heavy slice that splits opinion.

GA"This one is a little too garlicky for me. The mushrooms are good, but the garlic overpowers everything else."8.2
MW"It's a lot of cheese for a slice of pizza. The mushrooms are good — they're cooked through and worthwhile."8.0
MA"I think there's the right amount of garlic and the right amount of cheese. The roasted garlic cloves on top are a nice touch."9.0

2. Trenton

A traditional cheese and tomato pizza that earns every bit of its reputation. The sauce is excellent — tomatoes on top of tomato sauce, balanced sweetness, right amount of salt. The crust holds up. MA called it near perfect, and she's not wrong. Sometimes the simplest pizza is the one that reveals what a place can really do.

GA"Really good crust. The sauce is tasty. Simple and well executed."7.5
MW"The tomato sauce is really good. Clean, balanced. This is a solid pizza."7.2
MA"I really like this version of a traditional cheese pizza. The tomatoes together with the tomato sauce are very good — the perfect balance of sweetness, right amount of salt. Really good crust. Near perfect cheese and tomato pizza, in my opinion."8.0

3. The Sixth Man ⭐ Best of the night

Half pepperoni cups, half sausage — a pizza for people who want both. The pepperoni is genuinely excellent but the quantity is extreme: GA found it ridiculous, MW removed a third of his. The remarkable thing is that despite the amount, the slice isn't overly spicy or greasy. The sausage half is sweet and well-seasoned. Basil leaves on top are a nice finishing touch.

GA"Really, really good pepperoni. But it's a ridiculous amount of pepperoni for one slice. Too much. That said — the amazing thing is it's not overly spicy at all, even with all those cups."8.3
MW"I took off about a third of the pepperonis from my slice. The sausage half has a lot of sausage too, but it's really good — sweet and tasty. Right amount of crispy crust."8.8
MA"Great balance for pepperoni and sausage lovers. I agree there's too much pepperoni, but the overall slice is not overly spicy. The sausage is sweet and tasty. I like the basil leaves on top — great pizza."8.8

Scored at room temperature after a 15-minute drive. Likely higher eaten hot or reheated.

The Verdict

Angelos is a serious pizza. The crust holds up after a 15-minute drive without losing its crispiness — which is not easy. The Sixth Man is the standout: outstanding pepperoni, ridiculous in quantity but remarkable in that it doesn't tip into grease or spice. The sausage half holds its own. MW gave it an 8.8, and it's hard to argue. The Trenton is the quieter hero — near-perfect sauce, clean tomatoes, MA's favorite by description — but The Sixth Man edges it for the panel as a whole. The white with fungi divides the table but the mushrooms are worth it.

Both GA and MW noted they'd score higher eaten immediately. MA's 8.6 with reheating in mind probably reflects the ceiling accurately. The unanimous advice: order online, pick it up, put it straight in the oven. That's the full experience.

"Order online. Skip the hour-long line. Reheat in the oven. Order the Sixth Man."

Individual Scores

GA"I could go a little bit higher, but I would have liked this served immediately and eaten hot. It's a great option for great pizza."8.0
MW"I'm imagining what it would be like hot. If we ate the pizza at the restaurant, this would make me give it a higher score."8.0
MA"I like this pizza — it's what I think a typical New York style pizza should be. Crust is nice, red sauce is delicious. Solid, reliable pizza. Considering that reheating will elevate the flavors, I am impressed and delighted for the next pizza pickup."8.6
