Michael Angelo’s Pizza

If there was no star for ratings this would have been the place. Went to order a veggie pie, this tall guy came from the back took the order and went straight to work. He stretch the dough and start placing toppings, I ask him to wash his hands and his ego went in full gear. This egotistical clown, whom I found out later is one of the owners has no business ethics nor hygiene. His response was if I could get it clean some where get it. I understand the method of pizza making and if he was there, doing that already fine.. .but for all I know he could have just came out of the bathroom.

Ordered eggplant parm and mozzarella sticks for dinner. The mozzarella sticks were good, though not very crispy but I’m not sure if that’s because it was delivery. I’d give them a shot in the restaurant and see. The eggplant parm was nice too — it’s a huge order and came with pasta. Overall the food was good, I think about average for Italian. My only complaint was that Seamless quoted 30mins for delivery and it didn’t show up for an hour… not sure where the disconnect is.

Last time I stopped in here was for a take out lasagna, and they did not disappoint! Tonight I stopped in for dinner & had the lemon francaise chicken which came with penne & marinara on the side… I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to this dish because it’s one of my favourites. they did not disappoint. The sauce was perfect, the portion was huge, the chicken was delicious and the marinara was on point.
Update:
Visited again today and discovered their beautiful backyard, perfect for this weather!

Very surprised by this place, stopped for dinner got a delicious cesar salad and a chicken francese, simply great. My partner had a thin crust spinach, sun dried tomato, fresh mozzarella pizza that was perfect. Service was on point and friendly, prices very reasonable

Wow, just ordered here for the first time and I’m so full and impressed that I needed to write a review! Ordered chicken Frances’s and it’s easily the best I’ve ever had. Also to die for purchini ravioli and spinach soup. Will be ordering from here and only here from now on! Can’t wait to try more on the menu!

Placed an order for pickup here in 2014. Half White Pizza, half Cheese. Upon arrival, someone told me they can’t do that because they cook at different times. That seems to make sense, and a misunderstanding is fine, I didn’t mind waiting. So I went with half Cheese, half Special.
The Large Special is 21.50, and the large Cheese is 15. The pizza came out and the guy at the counter says «That’ll be 25 dollars» Obviously this guy just picked a number out of his head, because with tax on a large Special pizza, it would come to around 23.50 with the NY tax rate of 8.875.
So this guy actually charged me EXTRA to NOT put toppings on half of the pizza? Ridiculous to think about.
Pizza was delicious, but I refuse to go back to a place that blatantly rips you off, so this place has lost a pizza order every month or so for almost 2 years and counting to cheat me out of an extra dollar or 2 that one night. Moronic management always loses.

ordered food from
at 8:11 seamless estimated delivery by 9pm. at 9:15, we called to check on the status of our delivery and the man who answered claimed that it had just left. called again at 9:45 when our food still hadn’t arrived. the man said that they never adjusted the delivery time for Valentine’s Day and so it was longer but refused to answer when we asked at what time we could expect the food and no explanation of why he told us it had left a half hour prior. at 10:15 we called again and the man claimed that someone stole the food from the delivery man and that he called us to let us know. we have no missed calls. it’s now 10:23 and the doorbell just rang with the delivery and no apology. the pizza is cold.

This is jem. With tables facing the kitchen (where you can see everything that’s is being prepared) to the back yard that gives you a cozy feeling like you are home, this place keeps me coming back for more. The owner and chef, Leo is amazing friendly and has a magic touch when it comes to food. I don’t know how else to put it. I just know that this little Italian place will have me as a customer for as long as it’s gonna be here.

Went again tonight for dinner. The food rocks!
Fresh ingredients, pasta perfectly cooked.
Pictures are true to life… small quaint restaurant. They are very accommodating. I haven’t been to outdoor dining area– will have to go in the summertime. Kitchen is open & u can see & smell them cooking.
Fried calamari was good– not dry & overly cooked.
Service is beyond excellent! Those guys know good service. Prices are fair. Great dinner out (or in– they do take out).
You must come & fall in love

Our favorite pizza in the area. Go with a thin crust pie. Grandma slice is excellent as well.

Secret gem of Astoria! No matter what you get it’s always amazing and fresh!
We have tried the chicken francese, penne vodka, mushroom raviolis and the pizza (thin crust), and many more dishes. Whether you sit in or order delivery it’s never a disappointment. My roommates and I order weekly from here and rave about the food to everyone and anyone!

The pizza was subpar. It was greasy and not very fresh tasting. I’m sorry, but I can’t recommend Michael and Angelo for pizza.

The grandma was really yummy. Amazing sauce. I had to order it through Unilocal app eat 24 because they do not deliver to my house. We are really close by so that’s weird. It was a little cold, which it always is through eat 24.
We are going to try the pasta. It’s a little pricy but the sauce on the pizza was so good it may be worth it.

If your looking for a real authentic Italian place, this is the spot. The pasta is hands down a grand slam. It’s all home made and fresh. All items on the menu are fresh. Service is great as well!

What a hidden gem! This is some real Italian food. Whether it’s marinara or Marsala, each entrée is made with fresh sauce. Can’t get much better than that! I got the veggie lasagna which was their special of the evening and boy was I in for a treat. Each bite was different and the fontina cheese was a really nice touch. Also got homemade tiramisu which was d-​liscious. Good thing this is right by the subway because I will definitely be stopping by here whenever I am craving an authentic Italian fix.

I love this place! Been coming for years. The food and service are always great. They are very accommodating in the kitchen. They make substitutions and help you craft your perfect dish if you so choose. This also gives you an idea that the food is fresh and not prepped and waiting. The wait staff is knowledgeable and they always have a recommendation ready for meals and/​or wine pairings. Their patio is great but for me they lose a star for their dining room. It’s quite small and if you tend to be loud at dinner like my friends and I do, then it’s not ideal. Although, please know that this does not mean I was ever made to feel unwelcome. It just means that I choose to come on warm nights when the patio is open :)

This place is horrible the food was disgusting. Waited an hour for pizza and it was cold. The service was incredibly slow. DO NOT COME HERE IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY.

The grandma pie changed my life. Ask for extra sauce (it’s very little to begin with, so extra brings you to normal).
They drizzle the pie with garlic olive oil. One of the top 5 pizzas I’ve ever had.

First time ordering food for delivery. Everything came pipping hot and delicious. I highly recommend
The Chicken rolls.

Hands down my favorite pizza in NYC. Ordered the Sophia Loren with jalapeños and pepperoni and it was delicious. spicy, thin crust, mozzarella and pepperoni? Sign me up. HIGHLY recommend this pizza.

I love this place, they just got their own website and when you order you get 10% discount. Go online and check it out.
$$$$$$$ off

Ordered a meatball calzone. They forgot the meatballs. The replacement they sent had a fucking HAIR baked into it. Gross. Never ordering from here again.

My husband and I dined at Michael Angelo’s last week and ordered the chicken parm and penne vodka. So good!!!
After reading the reviews, we had to try the Sofia Loren pizza. We got the pizza delivered to our house in less than 40 mins! One of the best pizzas I’ve had in NYC.

Fell upon this place accidentally and glad I did. The chef is willing to cook to your taste and made us home made chicken soup. The server, Claudio, was extremely solicitous and constantly checked on us. The filet of sole orreganta was delicious. Definitely returning to try the pizza which I understand is marvelous.

These guys are a bunch of fools… We order from here every few weeks, so we are used to it taking double the amount they promise you. Problem number 1, but I can live with it…
This time, after nearly 2 hours (despite a 45 min commitment), the food came. Keep in mind, the deliver guy called me 7 times on the way because he was lost. His job literally requires him to figure one thing out, but he could not. in fact, he told me that my address doesn’t come up in the navigation. he must have a very very unique navigation.
Anyway long story short, I called the place after realizing THEY FORGOT SOMETHING, and the food was cold. I spoke with the owner who replied to the 2 hour delay with «i made the food when the order came in» — Most unprofessional owner ever. He yelled at me, and made it sound like I was crazy for being bothered that after 2 hours, half my food was missing. They did everything wrong, gave me an attitude and told me to dispute the charge.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE — BUNCH OF RUDE, RUDE, RUDE PEOPLE WHO COULD CARE LESS ABOUT CUSTOMERS.

RUDE PEOPLE, how are these people in business. STAY AWAY, NOT WORTH THE STRESS.
The food comes late, cold, and they usually get things wrong.
The worst part, is the off the boat management could not be worse. These guys should go back to the mountains until they learn how to interact with humans.

This review is for delivery. The Sofia Loren pizza had a great flavor, but it was cold and the crust was soggy by the time it got to us. Kind of disappointing, but it was a Saturday night. I’d like to try again, will probably go in-​house next time though.

The pizza is great! We ordered a margarita pizza and it was so good!
Plus, you can order on Unilocal… Easy peasy!
I’m a fan of other pizza places in this ‘hood, but having to order $ 25 min is just annoying. Glad you don’t have the same minimums here!
