About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Kid-friendly
Angelo came to this country in the late 1930’s, settling in New York. He has worked a lifetime making great pizza, first at pizza shops around the city and then at his own store, Pizza Chef, on Brooklyn’s Fulton Street. As time passed, Angelo lamented that there were only a handful of places left like his that made what he calls real pizza. “The crust has to be blackened and crisp! Only fresh mozzarella and tomatoes…!” he often pleases. This genuine passion for pizza has passed on to the family’s next generations, as his children and nephews continue his tradition of excellent pizza making. And now as his nephew John starts his own pizza restaurant, he pays homage to his uncle Angelo, who served as an inspiration to them all.

    Great lunch before our show! The pizza was crispy & delicious. The family style salad was a little too much for 3 people but tasty as ever. Great service & nice tables for people watching!

    Consistently good, basically simple food. Nothing fussy or pretentious. It has gotten much more popular in the last year. Best to make a reservation. Nice outside area in warm weather.

    Our go-to place for a casual dinner. Good for large groups, It can be noisy at times but the service is consistent and has a feel of a neighborhood restaurant, although much bigger.

    Pepperoni pizza was great. Servers were nice. Outdoor seating was nice. Enjoyed the wine and antipasta. Didn't love the ravioli. See you again.

    This is a neighborhood gem and our regular Friday night dinner spot. The food is consistently good and the wait staff remember you and greet you with a smile. It is family friendly and has a large outdoor seating area (I don't eat outdoors). Thanks!
