Mama Angelina’s

This is your really basic pizza joint, what another Unilocaler described so memorably as a great place for pizza late at night when you’re drunk. That sums it up: if you’re sober, this may not be the pizza experience that you write home about. Also, despite what some other Unilocalers have said, I didn’t get a warm welcome from the counter person. There was a yuck factor (the kind of thing you don’t notice drunk): the chairs had a stickiness to them, resulting in my Deputy Unilocaler’s tip admonition: «Don’t sit down. I repeat, don’t sit down.» I dare any pizza lover to stop in here without being haunted by the thought that Nomad Roman Pizza is just down the block.

Best drunk food in the city, hands DOWN. I’ve come here probably 50+ times and have never been treated badly, service is fast, and food is perfect.
I am just now learning it’s called Mama Angelina’s and not Pizza Steak, but the more you know! I’ve had almost every kind of slice of pizza here and it’s all great. Created to perfection. There is a $ 5 minimum for cards, each slice will ring you about $ 3. They do have cheesesteaks, full pizzas, desserts.
Mushroom slices are my fave forever. But beware of the annoying drunk people (maybe me sometimes) that are here late at night. Pizza can cause fights.

This establishment has the gaul to charge for paper plates and napkins. And, once again, my heeds of «well done light cheese» went unheeded.

Just had breakfast there but breakfast was great and the rest of the menu and food looked great too. All the staff was very friendly and prices were good. Nothing fancy but would definitely recommend. Wish I would have known this was right outside of my hotel last night. I would have just got food from here and stayed in my room and watched the game instead of wasting my time at the lucky strike.

Good enough drunk pizza, cheap and quick just like drunk me likes it!

It was quick and good. Nothing special but got me feed! I had the Philly cheesesteak and fries the bread was awesome and fries were delicious. I would definitely venture back to try the pizza. It seemed to be the hot seller!

Awesome cheesesteak, great bread, price is good n it’s huge. The menu looks very interesting too, def will stop by again while in philly.

Its not the best pizza here in the city but its very delicious. I have a few other spots I prefer. For late nights, they’re great. Fantastic people.
Their cheesesteaks and other food is actually delicious. These guys are lifesavers and a hardworking, friendly family restaurant.

Perfect place to come after a long night of drinking. Would definitely come back here again — delicious!

Arguably the best cheesesteak I’ve had here in Philly. Best thing about this place is they’re open late and the pizza is solid. Very consistent and good bang for your buck. Not the best place to eat in but for takeout and late night pizza it’s awesome!

Came by bc open late. I search for ny pizza. Zio’s much better, same price slice. Gave me wrong change too. Tasted like reheated frozen
So I recommend it if you crave pizza and NO other place is open.

I had the cheesesteak special which comes with fries and a drink for $ 8.90 but I think the man who took my order thought I meant a steak sandwich because it had no onions or cheese on it, c’mon man this is Philly get it right. The fries were not cooked all the way and were soggy. Horrible fries! Pizza looked good and that’s what most people there were ordering. Stick to Jim’s Steaks and Tony Lukes or John’s Roast Pork in South Phila near the Walmart. The bread was also stale and very low cheap quality stick to the pizza and your okay. It’s convenient for guests staying at the Doubletree Hiltion which is where I was staying.

These guys have a bunch of illegal immigrants working that charge more than the listed price EVERY time. They claim it is because of taxes but taxes on a $ 6 sandwich isn’t $ 3. My recommendation is definitely DO NOT hit this place up. Overpriced. Dishonest. Unclean. The list goes on

I’ve been here a handful of times and the pizza is decent, however I won’t be going again!
Tried to go last night after a concert. Called ahead to ask when they closed and was told 12:30. We arrived about 12:15, and they were locking the doors. They let us in and proceeded to pull pizzas out of the fridge in TRASH BAGS and serve to us. We just wanted a few slices, but they tried to force a whole pie on us charging us $ 1 more than advertised per slice. When we questioned the prices the two men working told us «this is Philadelphia»… as if that makes overcharging for trash bag pizza acceptable…

Best hoagie and pizza shop in the world. I wish they’d open a store in Lancaster.

Good, inexpensive pizza for when I’m feeling lazy and just want to grab something to eat at the end of a long day. Not gourmet but a quick slice for around $ 2.50 is not bad at all.
The staff here is always positive, polite, and friendly, and all possible seasoning for the pizza is provided up front.
One thing that gets kind of messy is when you ask for it to-​go, they just stick the paper plate in a paper bag and the oil leaks everywhere and is cold and messy by the time you take it home, so dining in or perhaps asking for a box would be preferable.
This is an ideal late night or fast, pizza-​craving spot but I wouldn’t go here for anything beyond that.

I’m a self-​proclaimed pizza snob. This pizza is. okay. It’s not great but you could do a lot worse. Mama Angelina’s is open late, which makes it attractive to folks just getting out of a show at the Academy of Music) or any of the other theaters along Broad Street) and bar fiends. Keep this in mind if you’re in a hurry, because unless you’re just grabbing a slice to eat on the way to your apartment, car, or cab, you might be waiting for a bit if the place is packed.
I usually only go to Mama Angelina’s right after work, when I know I’ve got nothing to cook and don’t have the energy to do some grocery shopping. It’s fast, inexpensive, and right across the street from my apartment — it’s a no-​brainer.
Like I said, the pizza is just okay. The staff are all pretty nice. There isn’t an «atmosphere,» — it’s a pizza joint, for God’s sake, but it’s convenient and hey, they take credit cards.

Mama Angelina’s is known to all my friends as Pizza-​Steaks (see the illuminated signs) or Drunk Pizza. Nestled only a block or 2 away from many popular bars like Time, McGillian’s, Bru, etc. This late night spot always lures us in for a cheesy greasy treat. Prices are cheap considering the area and there is usually a good amount of pies already sitting out (even late night). The crust is on the soft side and the cheese/​sauce could be more flavorful, but it does the trick. My Texan friend raves about their cheesesteaks although I haven’t been able to test them out myself. I’d consider ordering from here when everything else is closed, but I don’t know if I dare eat it sober.

Mama Angelina’s Pizza was fairly disappointing. I was looking for somewhere tasty and inexpensive to grab a quick bite today, so I took a walk around and pulled up reviews on restaurants that I passed. When I walked by Angelina’s, the reviews looked decent and the price was right, so I decided to pop in and give it a shot.
All I had was a slice of Pepperoni well done and a Snapple, so I can’t comment on their other fare (of which there didn’t appear to be much besides cheesesteaks and wings).
The pizza was pretty awful — greasy, off tasting and sort of cafeteria-​esque. I usually blot up a bit of grease with a napkin when I eat pizza, but there was so much on the slice that I gave up after using four. I don’t expect pizza to be grease-​less, but it was not super appetizing. My stomach is, as I sit here an hour after lunch, flipping around like a fish out of water. I have heartburn, and I don’t get heartburn.
Otherwise, the place itself seemed kind of dingy. However, the staff was prompt and polite, and my food came out very quickly. Other than that, though, there were not a ton of bright spots about my visit, and I highly doubt I’ll be going back. Long story short — you can do a lot better for about the same price in the area if you know where to look!

They were packed and their service was actually pretty good. If you need a quick slice or a decent cheesesteak, this is not a bad option.
