We needed some lunch before heading to the airport, and I suggested this spot since it offered pizza and subs and looked to be a quick option for us. It began to rain when we arrived and it was beautiful! We all ordered slices (cheese for my companions) and I ordered one with mushrooms, as well as two orders of fries plus drinks. Our food was ready in a short amount of time and everything was hot and delicious. My slice not only came with mushrooms, but had tomatoes, spinach, and herbs on it. Very good! The fries were hot and crispy and came in a bag that promised to keep them hot (and delivered). They came with a container of ketchup and there were salt, pepper, garlic, red chili flakes on the counter. Parmesan is romano and kept in the fridge behind the counter, just ask for some. Overall a nice spot for a quick lunch and staff was friendly. read more

Awesome pizza and great customer service! Super nice people in there. Definitely would come back.

The pizza was tasteless. The dough tastes like cardboard and the toppings lacked flavor.

Pizza was wonderful!! Would defiantly come back! Lunch time might have not been the best time to come as school kids were there. The language was awful but the pizza was worth it. read more

Angelo's Pizza - Meat lovers pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

We have been coming here for 30 years. Due to convenience. Angelo's is super popular, especially with the high school kids over lunch hour. You can order whole pizzas, or pizzas by the slice, or subs. All reasonably priced. It's not quite as good as I remember from 39 years ago, but still good crust, sauce and fresh toppings. Friendly service. Lots of pizza options nearby, but would keep Angelo's in rotation. read more

Angelo's Pizza - Large pizza - half sausage mushroom; half pepperoni green pepper - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Tried to go two nights in a row lights were off no one was there. Came back again and they were open but workers did not wear gloves, although very nice and seemed to care from where I was from, just couldn't get past the hygiene. read more

My fav hole in the wall type of place!!! $6 for a cheese burger and a slice of cheese pizza! what a pleasant surprise! they grill the burger right in front of you and you can choose what topping to add to the grilled buns, like lettuce, pepper, mayo, tomato, pickles, and ketchups! I felt pretty satisfied after finishing the $3.5 cheese burger! The crust of their pizza is really chewy! highly recommend! you can choose to add toppings with additional charges! The owner is super friendly! Def a serendipity of my day! need to come back to try their famous cheese fries! read more

We went on a Thursday evening at 6:30 pm. There was no sign of life. It looks closed for good.

Wouldnt recommend this place if you were starving in a desert and this was your last resort. Choose another pizza place, im just not sure they know how to make a pie after the manuer i tasted . Not the friendliest of folks in there either. You hate to see it. read more

***PSA*** Angelo's new phone number is 617-661-5771 and THEY'RE NOW OPEN ON SATURDAYS!!!!! = I'm not sure what this says about my life but this is by far the best news I've heard all 2021!!! read more

Been going to this place since high school and no matter what my taste buds still crave it probably once a week if not twice. Same workers same vibes same great food fast paced Environment they truly serve the children of the local high school almost all year round but they treat us all even when we graduate with exceptional service. They are slices are huge and super tasty the bacon cheeseburger is always ordered and their prices you can't beat. For sure it is something that you want that isn't on the menu they might let you make it if they have the ingredients it's definitely some place to go when you don't wanna overthink dinner or lunch but still want to enjoy it read more

Used to buy sandwiches from this place but not hygiene at all from this employee ,not enough all the business working hard to survive on the middle of these pandemic and people like that doesn't care about costumer safety..it's a shame .Where are you gloves sir ? read more

ANGELO'S PIZZA IS THE BEST PIZZA IN BOSTON!!! It's crisp, has a thick crust, great toppings and AMAZING SERVICE. It's my favorite pizza and my favorite pizza makers. Luis is so funny and so nice, and after just a few times, we're already best friends. I genuinely love this place so much. Best pizza ever. I always get the peppers and onions slice. It takes like 2 minutes. And it's SO GOOD. Not too much oil. It's perfect. Please go here!!!! read more

Angelo's Pizza - The outside of the place! - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

A little bit removed from Harvard Square, Angelo's holds its own among the best restaurants in the neighborhood by appealing to it's demographic, high school kids. From the pizza to the burgers and fries this is the place CRLS students go to chill and get a bite to eat. Conveniently located across the street from the school and the library it's one of those hidden gems of the community that's all locals and zero tourists. That being said this place far from fancy. And I think their chairs might have been "borrowed" from the high school across the street. But you can't beat the food. Lou makes a great pizza. I think they might have snuck in some wheat dough. But most pizza bought here comes piled with toppings, like bacon. And don't be fooled by the salad. Lou told me the kids who get the salad all they really want it for is the feta cheese. Seriously, he's a funny guy to chat with while waiting for your food. Toppings are cheap and plenty. Actually all the food here is inexpensive. And I love a good deal just as much as a good meal. read more

Angelo's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Great place to chow down around Cambridge Library. Kids love this place so much, it's so packed up here after school. I got chicken fingers n fries which cost just $5.50. There are many more to try...thanks Lou :) See you soon. read more

Angelo's Pizza - Chicken finger and fries $5.50 - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

If you're looking for some gourmet foodie experience, don't come here. This isn't the type of place you go out of your way to try. If you're looking for some down-to-earth cheap pizza, fries, and chicken fingers, this is the place for you. I primarily like this place because of the price (so cheap for the area!) and for the proximity to my home. So I don't have to go very far to get cheap dinner! But this place is 3 stars instead of 4 for a few reasons: 1. I don't love the pizza. I mean it's fine for the price but it's not one of those "omg cheap AND delicious!" places. You get what you pay for. It's not bad pizza by any means (and I've had some inedible-y bad pizza), but it's not awesome either. 2. I got the cheesy fries once and by the time I got home (less than a 5 minute walk away), the cheese was super congealed which wasn't particularly appetizing and made it very difficult to eat. Doubt I'd order this again. 3. The hours never seem to work out for me. This place closes much earlier than I would like and isn't open on the weekends when I'm feeling especially lazy. I haven't been back here in a while, but I wouldn't be opposed to it under the right circumstances! read more

Five stars for being the best slice pizzeria in the area (four stars for the pizza itself, which is good). The guys who work here are great, five stars for them. At busy times it'll be packed with high school students from across the street, who are loud and dramatic but very innocent and well-meaning (they make for a pretty adorable scene). Also a beautiful view of the park and the big public library. Highly recommended by this native New Yorker who lives largely on pizza. read more

Amazing and friendly staff. Great pizza too. Highly recommended if you are looking for a budget but tasty local pizza joint near the Harvard Art Museums. read more

Amazing place with great food and lovely atmosphere. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Margarita is my favorite. Can't wait to visit again with my friends. read more

It was very good. Not a dime in type of place and very limited parking but pizza was excellent!

I ordered a regular roast beef- the bun was toasted. I didn't ask for a toasted bun. Mayo and sauce- no Mayo! The cheese steak roll- took one bite and tossed it in the trash. The pizza roll- same- tossed it in the trash. read more

I love this store. It's always a good place to brunch after reading a good book in the cpl (cambridge public library). Sadly the libary is closed so there is hardly anytime to come here anymore. As a small child I used to love coming here because the pizza was always warm. We would each share a slice. I've been getting pizza here ever since I had a library card. There pizza is the best it's a GREAT place to stop after digging your nose into a book. The chicken wings are great also and you have to try the fries. read more

It's a little creepy to walk into; bare and stark ever by hole-in-the-wall standards. But once you see their menu, you forget to care. It's not extensive, but it has what you need, and it has it for cheap. Big slices for $1.75, big & cheap salads that come with giant pieces of tasty bread, burgers, fries, deliciousness. The one strike against it is the little twats from Cambridge Rindge & Latin. I'm not against all the CRLS kids, mind you; without them, this place wouldn't survive, so loud as they are, I am glad they're there. I'm just talking about the fucknuggets who steal these guys' tip jar, steal cookies from the case, hell, even the phone off the counter. Have some damn respect for the people who provide you with your life-giving fries. read more

This is a whole in the wall that hasn't been renovated since 1963. Why do I love it?? As a former graduate from CRLS, I'm always pleasantly surprised that Lou never forgets a name or face! He's always upbeat and makes food consistently great! - Cheap cheap prices - Delicious grilled chicken and veggie salad - Well sized portions - The best "enormous" slice around! Nice and thin with sweet sauce, dough that you actually wanna eat and just enough grease! Haven't been eating Angelos famous cheese fries since high school, but I gotta grab some soon. So damn good!!! read more

I think that the cheesy fries are something to write home about, even if you are mostly writing about your declining health as it relates to the food you got at Angelo's or not. As a former CRLS student, it is really the only place worth going to, unless you have the money to go to Broadway Market, or well... Darwin's wasn't there when I was in school... Anyways. The pizza slices are cheap and totally edible. The cheesy fries will probably kill you eventually, but everything in moderation. Just never go around 10-12 on a weekday it's totally mobbed. read more

Tiny little place that continues to exist primarily because it's directly across the street from CRLS, where it is popular for its large (and cheap) single slices and the infamous cheese fries. They have plenty of other items on the menu worth trying but admittedly, unless you're a hungry 16 year old with no other options, you certainly can do better and more interesting. If you want to have a filling, fattening, and overally pretty good "dish" to take with you on the go, get the cheese fries. I'm not sure if they're still $2.25, but basically you get like a pound of french fries, with a bunch of mozzerella cheese and baked until the cheese is melted through but still gooey. It's pretty good but you can almost feel your arteries clogging and hear your bloodstream come to a screeching halt as your heart labors intensely after your body digests it. Once in awhile though... read more

Best value that I've found, by far, in the greater Boston area. I have classes nearby at night and make it a point to stop by Angelo's for a couple slices (HUGE and delicious) and a coke before class. That comes out to $4.25. Seriously, their prices were valid for most pizza places ca. 1995. Also the most unpretentious, friendly place I go to regularly, which makes it especially valuable in the Harvard Sq. area. Reminds me of some old favorites from my home back in Jersey... Should mention that the other reviewers' descriptions of the nonexistent decor are all valid, so definitely not a place to take anyone for a first date, or tenth date for that matter. Not open on weekends, probably because they wouldn't get enough business when it's not a school day. read more

Totally a hidden jewel!! I haven't tried these infamous cheese fries, but I go here for cheap delicious subs and sandwiches. And I do mean CHEAP. For 2 bucks, you get a good sized chicken cutlet sandwich. Load it up with fixin's, and you have a meal. Blows fast food out of the water! Reminds me of the chicken patties they served us in summer camp, which is a good thing. 4 bucks gets you a veggie bomb sub that's at least one meal and def' better for you than cheese fries. Pizza is okay and cheap, too, but come here for the subs and leave full, happy, with plenty of change in your wallet. read more

But don't believe Yelp's lies, they do *NOT* deliver. *ring* Hello? I'd like to order delivery No delivery *click* wait ... *ring* Hello? I'd like to order pick-up What do you want? ... Super-cheap ($7.50 for 3 topping 12-inch pizza). And it was pretty decent as well. Good cheese, nice soft crust, fresh bell-pepper. I wouldn't eat there, but it seems like a good place to pick up from. read more

Cheese. Cheese. Cheese. A slice of cheese pizza. Please. A simple request, simply abided by, and quickly, offered a gigantic slice of deliciousness and a pound more of grease and kitchen fry flavors than expected. Of particular love for Angelo's is its friendliness and limited selection of pizza-by-the-slice offerings. Mostly, you come to Angelo's for a slice of cheese pizza and some stuff on top, if you dare adulterate such perfection to begin with. Stuck in a hot oven immediately upon your order, the cheese coating over traditional, hearty red sauce (heavy on the tomatoes and love) melts to oozy amazingness. The dough is slightly undone immediately after the sauce, but the crust of the crust is crispity-crunchity and a perfect textural contrast to all of the ooey-gooey-ness resting above. Angelo's is definitely worth the hike...trust high school kids, they know grease and good-eats. read more

Cheap-ass slices of pizza. They're huge. Great snack for the budget-conscious. Everything else is dirt cheap too. This place looks like a mafia front. There are exactly zero decorations inside. An ancient video game machine or two sit just inside the door. Back in college, in Albany NY, there was a place called Fire Station Pizza that gave the same vibe - the utter lack of attention to the premises just screams tax shelter, or basement dismemberment shop, or drug trafficking stopover... you get the picture, maybe. Last visit, some guy was sitting on the windowsill staring out the window. Another dude busted in just after I had placed my order and made a racket. From what I gathered, he was a regular, since he loudly ordered a chicken sandwich "how you do it, man". I'd say if you want a chicken sandwich here you should probably get the chicken sandwich how you do it. read more

Despite kind of terrible business hours (basically only when school is in session) Angelo's remains my favorite place for subs. Anytime I get a chicken cutlet sub from anywhere else it's value is determined by its likeness to a sub from here. Lou is the greatest and somehow remembers my friends and me from high school. Whatta guy. He signed my year book "buena suerte!" Pizza isn't great, but cheese fries, burgers, and subs are out of this world. read more

Oh Angelo's. I lived down the street from it for three years and it quickly became my go-to place for steak and cheese subs ($4.50!) and small cheese pizzas ($5.50!!!). Once you get past the vaguely terrifying exterior, into the more terrifying interior, ignoring the fact that it definitely looks like a drug front, and that the furniture is pretty clearly brought over from the local Cambridge Ringe & Latin school, you get to the heart of what Angelo's is.... a local place that focuses solely on the food. No decorations, no vending machines from the last 45 years, zero ambiance, and no nonsense. The guys that work there are nice (the first time I went in I ordered my steak and cheese and realized it was cash only and they gave it to me for free after I promised profusely that I would be back because I just moved in down the street yadda yadda) and the food is consistently tasty. Bottom line: good, cheap, fast, greasy. Open at random hours, closed on weekends. Watch out for the lunch rush of high school kids or you'll think you've time traveled back to lunch period in your old cafeteria. read more

I am a 63 year old woman visiting my visiting my son, his wife and my granddaughter from the west coast. I LOVeE pizza! The guys at Angelo's make an excellent thin crust pizza, which isn't only well balanced, crisp and delishous, it's cheap. $1.75 for a large cheese slice, $5 for a 14", $8 fpr a 16" cheese pizza The staff put up with massive numbers of high school students during lunch and when school lets out, and they are fast, efficient, polite and even tempered. Needless to say, none of the kids tip, so the staff live on strraight salary, which can't be that great considering the price of their food. They serve sandwiches, calzones, subs, and fried chicken. Everything is excellent. I don't know what anyone means about the place seeming scary. It's a plain place, mostly takeout with some formica tables and large picture windows at the front. The teens are all polite to the staff and to me ( a little old gray haired lady), if not so much to each other at times, but it is totally benign. I wish we had place like this both in quality and price, in Seattle!. If you can avoid noon and 3:00 pm you won't have the insanity of 20 high schoolers with whom you compete to get your order in (but as I said, the staff behind the counter is great and efficient). Oh, and cash only. read more

Angelo's Pizza - All this and a can of soda for $8.50. Affordable and delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Pizza from heaven, as good as they made twenty years ago, and now they put eggplant on the slices if you want it. Simple, perfect, inexpensive. No wonder they survive. read more

Food here is decent and it's a large portion for a cheap price. Not much to look at but the service is friendly and they have a lot of regulars coming in and out throughout the day. Bought a soda from the vending machine (yes there are vending machines in the place) and had a HUGE slice of mushroom pizza and cheese fries, which hold true to the other reviews. read more

The most basic sub shop around and it is simple and great. The steak special (small steak with cheese, mushrooms, peppers, & onions) is only $4.50! Forget the amazing price for a second...it's very good. The quality of the meat is good, not that cheap nasty fatty meat you wold expect at that price. Also, 6 wing dings for $4. They're good and cheap. Students flock to this place, and it helps that it is across the street from Cambridge Public Library and Cambridge Rindge & Latin School. It's good that I don't live near this place or I would gain weight every week. Give this place a try. It's not pretty, but it's good (and cheap!) PS - bring cash read more

Like every other kid at CRLS, I learned quickly of the greatness that is Angelo's Pizza. The food is greasy, tasty and cheap. You will be hard-pressed to find more bang for your buck than Angelo's. Go for the chicken sandwich with bacon and an order of cheesefries (if you feel the blood flow to your heart begin to noticeably slow halfway through the meal, don't worry. That's normal). Pizza slices aren't the best, but they are enormous and certainly get the job done. If you're going to get pizza, go after the mad rush of high school kids so you can get it hot. Overall, if you're looking for cheap eats around Cambridge, you won't do much better than Angelo's. A true diamond in the rough. read more

great price and good food! great pizzas, wings, onion rings, fries! soo reasonably priced. nice staff. mainly caters to the students there, closed when school is out etc. it's full of kids at 2:30pm sharp. avoid going at that time! read more
