Angelo's Pizzeria
Is Danny DiGiampietro’s cash-only Bella Vista takeout the best pizzeria in Philadelphia? Or is it the best sandwich shop? Or cheesesteak slinger? The evidence for “all of the above” is ample, as folks line up for South Philly creations built on DiGiampietro’s own seeded rolls as well as an assortment of pizzas, which run the gamut from thin crusts and grandmas to the thick-crusted, upside-down Sicilians that are many regulars’ go-to order. Add in celeb sightings (Philly sports figures, countless politicians, Bradley Cooper) and a healthy dose of attitudinal South Philly counter service, and it’s the full Downtown experience, best enjoyed on the hood of a car. Before you head over, monitor Instagram for word of sellouts, specials, and the occasional goofy IG story.
