GUEST(S): Robin Rothman, Birch Harms, Risa Harms, Sadie

REVIEW: 
Now we’re cooking with gas. With Angelo’s Pizza, you can’t go wrong. Whether you are at the 57th street location or the independently owned Angelo’s on Broadway, they all do their namesake proud with every high quality pie that exit the oven. The one difference is that the oven at the 2nd Avenue location is gas-powered. Even with gas, these ovens bake at such high temperatures I suggest minimizing the number of toppings to assure an even bake.  Minimize toppings but maximize pies! Fresh mozzarella and rich tomato sauce come standard on each and every one. Add either pepperoni or olives for the perfect savory balance. Angelo’s also sports a full bar, appetizers and desserts. Although I personally recommend the pizza, many patrons opted for other great-looking Italian dishes on the menu. The dining area is spacious enough for family meals and yet cozy enough for a date, heck, I'd even go to Angelo's by myself.
