Papa Angelo's Pizzeria
6744 N.W. 39th ExpresswayBethany, OK
(405) 491-6767
I am not sure of the story about Papa Angelo's, but I know it has a New York connection. I had
read that this is the one place in the metro where I could order authentic New York style pizza.
Although New York City pizza can be recognized
by its thin crust, I do not know what constitutes a good New York pizza except by tasting it.
Papa Angelo's is certainly one that I would call good, and I really think would do New York proud.
I lucked out on my first visit to the restaurant because they were offering some specials.
One was a Combination Pizza that was recommended by the employees as being one of
their best, and was certainly a bargain when compared to paying for each of the toppings
individually. Although it was a meat lover's dream, it was also a veggie lover's delight, with
mushrooms, olives, green peppers, tomatoes, and onions that almost obliterated the view of the
several types of meat that were included. Everything was fresh and delicious as I had read from
previous reviews. I could not have asked for a better New York style pizza as I have come
to know them from various restaurants I have visited.
The only problem I have found is that the combination pizza is not on the menu, and
apparently is not always offered as a special. The menu offers several sizes of crust, and each
topping goes for 45 cents to over a dollar (depending on the size of the pizza). These pizzas
are good for large groups, but it is hard for one or two people to get small pizzas with a large
number of toppings at a bargain price.
At lunch the restaurant makes it fairly easy to get smaller portions with various lunch
specials. Included in this is a Two Slice Pizza lunch special that comes with a drink.
The one shown in the photo was cheese, but toppings can be added for a small extra charge.
One notable thing about the lunch special is that the slices are not sitting around getting cold--
when the slices pictured were ordered they were made from scratch and individually cooked,
and it seems that no customers are served pizza that is not freshly cooked. I will have to
repeat my previous opinion, though, that the best pizzas at Papa Angelo's are ones with one
or more toppings (and not the cheese pizza as shown in this picture).
Some "pasta" dishes are also served, including ziti, lasagna, and calzone. After trying the
pizza, though, this is definitely something I would want to order on return visits.
