Angelo’s Coal Fired Pizza

Let me start by saying that the best part of the meal was the lovely waitress. Atmosphere was second and the beer list was the third. Food didn’t even come in fourth. Pizza was underdone and had waaayy too much (runny) ricotta on it. Caesar Salad was below mediocre. And you couldn’t even pick the Italian sandwich up without most of the contents falling out. It’s supposed to be served on «focaccia» but I’ve NEVER seen focaccia that looked like that. It’s basically thin pizza dough, undercooked just like the pizza. Naan would’ve been better for the sandwich than that flavorless «wafer». And they definitely can’t use the excuse that it was super busy. It was practically empty when we were there. Was so excited to go here. Won’t be going back.

Sadly, I have to write a poor review for this place. Was really looking forward to going here. Maybe the pizza is good if you eat it straight out of the oven at the restaurant. This is NOT TAKE OUT STYLE PIZZA. By the time I got it home to milton, it was freezing. Warming it up in the oven results on rendering it hard as a rock and tasteless. I spent $ 40 on 2 large pizzas, which are definitely on the smaller side of 16″ to feed 4 adults while watching the super bowl. There was an entire pizza left over, everyone hated it. Not one to waste food, particularly after spending $ 40 on it, I’m choking it down at home during the snow day. This is really sad, I was so hoping to find a local place with good pizza. On a positive note, I can say the hostess was really friendly and polite!

Do not be fooled by the positive reviews. This Pizza is not worthy be called. coal fire pizza. I have given that place more than a few chances. Went there the first months it opened, 5 times and try it a last night. The dough was like a flat bread pizza. (look at reviews same complaint) Which this is not suppose to be a flat bread pizza. There was hardly any cheese. The sausage is really bad. It is a Italian sweet sausage of really low quality. Coal fire pizza should look and taste like Frank Pepes pizza or like a few other places in Providence RI. There a smokiness to it with a different texture. This pizza is by far the worst coal fire pizza I have ever tasted. Dough has no taste. The sauce is not sweet. Just a Blah of a pizza. And to top it off. Yes I do know about pizza. I use to be a pizza shop owner and restaurants.
I post this review so the owners can change and fix it. Because the place has potential. You should go try a few other places to see the difference. Providence coal fire pizza, Frank Pepes pizza. Lambardis Little Italy NY. Wood fire pizza at Ciao Pizza and pasta Chelsea. This is where I go. And this is where the ownership of this place should go and find out how real pizza should taste like.

The best pizza I’ve had in Quincy! Their wings are grilled and melt off the bone. Love going to this place with my girlfriend for a date night. Waitresses are always nice and follow up often.

Was in Boston last week… tried 3 coal fired restaurants and I must say Angelo’s pizza was way better than the others.

I had lunch @Angeloscoalfire after my family had seen the restaurant featured on Phantom Gourmet. They ranted and raved about the place and it was everything as advertised and then some.
I started with the chicken wings with caramelized onions. All I can say is you might want to get multiple orders of just these, they are that good. Usually with chicken wings, there is a certain amount of resistance of getting the meat off of the bone. These had no such resistance. They might have been the meatiest wings ever because there wasn’t any left on the bone. The onions added so much flavor that you could be forgiven for not wanting any sauces, which would be a shame because the balsamic strawberry and pesto (and I’m not a fan of pesto) were just as amazing. On Super Bowl Sunday, these are the wings you’ll be dreaming about !!
The meat lover’s pizza had just as much flavor and the coal gave the meat a smoky texture. The cheese melted perfectly and the crust was on the thin side, but was strong enough to hold all the meat on top.
I was in the area and couldn’t wait to try the place and I would make a special trip to go back.

Wow what an astronomical let down ! This place at first glance seems to have all the necessary tools to be a gold mine. The interior has a large projector screen, open ceilings and bring light. The service, terrible. Extremely slow despite the fact the restaurant wasn’t at all packed. We ordered two apps that were lacking any special mention. The two small pizzas we ordered took well over 40 minutes to receive so upon tasting how raw and undercooked they were I was completely baffled. The number one thing this restaurant boasts is coal fired pizza! How could you serve just a soupy mess? Nothing like leaving a restaurant feeling like you should be heading to another. This establishment has nothing on Bertuccis !! If you are looking for a halfway decent pizza don’t come here ! We certainly will never return.

Yum. Got a small pizza to-​go: half Michelangelo, half Treehugger. I asked for olives instead of roasted red peppers and they did that. The small is good for two (not super hungry people). Came out to $ 13 and some change. Plan on returning.

Great place. Service was great every time. They make there own Caesar dressing that is to die for! Buff chicken pizza amazing!

We came here on Fathers Day and it was very, very busy. We sat and got beers BEFORE being told that we could not order food bc the kitchen was too busy.
After thirty minutes we were allowed to order. We ordered small pizzas but got two larges. At least they adjusted the check after I was forced to remind them a couple times that we ordered two smalls.
Keeping our beers filled was a chore and we were sitting at the bar!
The pizza was slightly undercooked which was also disappointing.
I won’t return because we have a favorite pizza place Maggie’s which serves top notch specialty pizzas and specialty drinks too. And they have Groupons too.

Excellent spot with relatively good parking. The interior is surprisingly open and light given the outside appearance. Here are the pluses:
Service: We sat at the bar where service was terrific. A+
Drinks: They pour a generous scotch and a very sound glass of wine. A
Food: Their Caesar salad is awesome. Two people can easily share one. Their pizza is as advertised. Perfectly cooked with generous toppings. A+
Atmosphere: Open, bright and welcoming. A
Price: more than fair given the quality A

My husband and I ordered the large Goodfellas pizza and I was not impressed. The pizza reminded me of a flatbread type of crust and I hate flatbreads/​thin crusts. I wasn’t a fan of the toppings either but my husband loved it.
To be fair and honest, I live in MD and the area where I live is definitely a foodie area. I haven’t been blown away with any of the food in Boston (or surrounding areas), so when I see reviews that state this is the best pizza in Boston, I almost want to say «come to Baltimore, MD to really experience GOOD PIZZA»!

Meatballs and pizza are great. Why not combine the two add some ricotta and you’ve got the Michaelangelo.
Simply delicious.
Saturday at lunch not busy but don’t let that deter you. Food is great and the servers are excellent.

Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the pizza here, but the drinks and apps are 5 stars all the way!
Highlights:
Basil dipping sauce hint of horseradish
Coal wings cooked to perfection with the skin roasted
Lots of kalamata olives in the antipasto
Tuna in the Antipasto (that was a first for me)
Chris, our server, 5 stars!
Came for Fathers Days and expected slow service bcz, DUH: It’s FATHER’S DAY. However, we didn’t expect to wait over an hour and a half for our pizza. I insisted we order apps bcz I knew they’d come quickly and hold us over until the pizza arrived, but the kitchen forgot one (which in their defense is kinda understandable bcz ya know: Father’s day).Thank heavens for the Huckleberry Lemonade and Coal Fired Wings with Basil dipping sauce! It made the drive completely worth it. However, I doubt I’d ever return bcz the pizza just isn’t worth it.

Five stars for Stella cidre on draft! I’ve reviewed Angelo’s before and i’m still happy with the delicious pizza. I’m really happy to see Stella Cidre on the bar menu, hopefully others drink it and it stays on. Have yet to try the wings, they seem to be a popular favorite.

We came here late on a Monday night so there was no wait and was seated promptly. As it was our first time here we took awhile deciding on our order. Our waitress was patient with us and came by a couple of times to see if we were ready to order. We did finally decide on grilled buffalo wings, Caesar salad, and the all meat pizza. The Caesar salad was a bit off. Their dressing was sweet which we thought was weird. We did enjoy the wings though. They were cooked nice and juicy and very spicy. Yum! The pizza was also very good. Please note that they use Bianco Italian sausages and I’m a very big fan of Bianco’s. So needless to say hubby and I devoured the entire pizza. Sorry kiddies! No leftover pizza for you guys.
The next time we come we plan to bring the kids to try the pizza. The restaurant offers different of seating options (booths, tables) and even a bar area with tv’s so it’s good for small groups like us. I suggest giving the place a try. We had a good experience but would like to come at a busier time to see if the food and service is the same.

Moved to Quincy Center in October and walked by this place no less than 100 times. I was constantly writing it off because it looked fancy. Cloth napkins at a pizza joint? Finally made the leap and glad I did. Pizza was great, prices were realistic and beer selection was fantastic.
Highly recommend.
Oh yeah, our waitress Heather was great as well.

It’s unfair for me to compare Angelo’s to Pepe’s, so I’ll try not to. Oh the temptation…
I tried the margarita pizza here and I wasn’t much of a fan of it. I generally think pizzas in the States have too much sauce, but in this case, there wasn’t enough sauce (and cheese). The bottom crust was a little too thick and chewy for my liking.
The Goodfella was a little better. The peppers were nicely roasted and the sausage was flavorful. There seemed to be more good cheese with this one too. The bottom crust was also an issue here but at least there were some nice toppings to cover that deficiency.
Service was generally polite but a little overbearing. You don’t have to check up on me every 2 minutes. I liked how Angelo’s enhanced the décor that Remick’s formerly had.

Full Disclosure: After I wrote my original review, the owner of Angelo’s reached out to me and offered me a gift card in order to try the pizza again. I gladly accepted and Jason L and I ordered take out from Angelo’s on January 12. Below is the reasoning behind my update, and some musings on how Angelo’s can achieve 5 stars.
We ordered:
Large «Create Your Own Pizza». We chose to have a regular pizza with sausage and pepperoni and It cost us $ 23. Pizza was delicious, but we couldn’t help feeling a little screwed on the price. A large «Meat Lovers» pizza which consists of both of our toppings plus meatball and bacon is two dollars cheaper. Two dollars isn’t a huge deal, but perhaps charging us the Meat Lover’s price might have been a little fairer. Regardless, the ingredients were fresh, seemingly homemade and delicious. The crust was perfectly cooked, with deliciously charred dough bubbles throughout.
Small Margarita Pizza, $ 10.25. Small but mighty delicious. Small really means, «individual size» so if you are sharing it, spilt and app too.
Suggestions: Develop an ordering practice where the employee lets the caller how much each item will be, or at the end of the phone call, to inform him or her about the final cost.
Cesar Salad, $ 8.25. The dressing was spectacular, and perhaps the best Cesar dressing I’ve ever tasted. The actual ingredients, however, were bestowed sparingly.
Suggestions: Regardless of how delicious the dressing was, I thought the final product should cost $ 1 – 2 cheaper. Also $ 5 to add protein, is a little steep. Perhaps reducing that price by the same ratio, would be appropriate.
Other things:
They got rid of the annoying practice of calling you back in order to confirm that you are indeed coming in to pick up order… YAY!
Staff on phone and front desk were both very nice. Food was ready for pickup when I came in.
Space is really nice. On the night in question, they were appropriately playing the Ohio State — Oregon college football championship. Looks like a great place to see a game.
Final Comment:
Best pizza in Quincy. The Margarita and Create Your Own were on par with celebrated wood grilled pizzerias, such as Posto and Stoked. I’m going to keep ordering pizza from Angelo’s, I’ll just make my own salad.

Was most curious to try coal-​fired pizza, having read about it cooking at 900 degrees and all.
BUFF CHICKEN PIZZA: 3.25 STARS
Not bad. Perhaps more chicken would be nice.
MICHELANGELO PIZZA (Meatball) 3 STARS
Just OK. (A couple of reviews posted after mine mention how good they are, which is baffling to me, as they were very plain).
(ADD COMMENT 18 OCT 2014: I should have put this in the original review, but I could put on a blindfold and choose a slice anywhere on the Boardwalk at Seaside Heights NJ, and it would have been better than this.)
DECOR /​AMBIENCE: 4 STARS
Nice looking. We never went to Remick’s, the establishment that just preceded this one in this location, but we did go to Finian’s before that. It is much more open and less stuffy now.
The large bar looked like a nice place to grab a drink although we were not doing that this particular evening.

I was expecting it to be better, but it was by no means bad. By way of comparison, in terms of higher end pizza, I like Crazy Doughs. The Crazy Doughs in North Station certainly is not a sit down joint, and they do not have a coal-​fired oven, but their «fancier than average» pizza is better than this was.
I like the pizza better at our local joint (Spukies) as well, and they do have several tables and it is cheaper.
So «A-​Ok» it is
EDIT /​ADD: I shill for no other place, would have been delighted if this was a go to place. Quincy needs people from Abington to come here. I have noticed a huge number of suspicious Unilocal regarding this place, accounts that were dormant for very long time before being miraculously moved to comment on the tasteless meatballs of this place. I hate fake Unilocalers AND Establishments that spoof Unilocal.Maybe put out consistently excellent pizza and service and garner the scores for real.
ADD FEB 2015: Angelo’s certainly knows how to bob and weave past the filter. The dude who joined in April 2014, but only banged out several reviews all in January 2015, just to shazaam in his five star for Angelos, is impressive work.
