I had the pleasure of spending a Friday afternoon at Angelo's Stuffed Pizza. I have been here before, about two years ago. When they first introduced their birria heart shaped pizza. The pizza was amazing, but I only had the opportunity of eating one slice from how full I was.
This time around, I wanted to try more things. To start, my friend and I tried the teriyaki and buffalo wings. I really enjoyed their buffalo sauce; it is house-made and tastes more on the spicier and buttery side as opposed to the vinegary and salty taste of other buffalo sauces. I wasn't much of a fan of their teriyaki wings. Sort of reminded me of soy garlic but sweeter. Both of these wings paired well with the other of fries we got. I think they were beer-battered fries, fried perfectly.
For our next course, we got the chicken carbonara. I was blown away with how good this pasta was. I typically shy away from carbonara because most of the time it is bland, but this pasta was well seasoned. From the sauce to the juicy, flavorful chicken. I was impressed, better than most of the Italian spots downtown.
To end our dinner, we had the opportunity to try the pizza of the month: chicken alfredo with fresh basil. I didn't realize they were growing basil in the front of the restaurant so when the chef came out to pick some to put on our pizza, I knew I was in for a treat. The pizza was amazing, cooked to the perfect temp, not drying out the chicken or the basil. You could tell they perfected this recipe before putting it on the menu. The chicken was the same chicken used in the carbonara so the seasonings really complemented the alfredo base.
Our second pizza was a 6 inch personal deep dish. I really wanted to try their deep dish again to remind myself how good their marinara sauce is. It is sweet yet savory. Quite the contrast to other deep dish marinara sauce in the city. I enjoyed it! And for only $10 during their lunch hours, I was impressed. Other spots in the city charge almost $15 for a personal pan.
Overall, I enjoyed Angelo's a lot! I spoke with the owner after our meal and he was a very nice guy! You could tell he has a lot of passion for food and pizza, and it shows. I would recommend Angelo's to anyone in the Southwest area of Chicago. I promise it is worth the trip!
