Kolek planning to go pro
My understanding is that Angelo's was simply a matter of the owner in poor health with nobody to take over. Didn't Sobelman's get the pizza recipes as part of the lease and say they'd start making it once they'd settled into the place?
Let's be honest, Angelo's brought nothing to the table other than a great place for 18 year olds to drink. The food was at best average bar food and the beer was always skunky
I disagree. Their pizza wasn't amazing, but it was above-average, better than the big chains like Pizza Hut or Papa John's, and it was right on campus, and served beer. The lasagna sticks were awesome. It wasn't just fried bar food.
I agree that it was better than average pizza. My wife and I went there our first date. I think that solidified my reputation on campus as a ladies' man of impeccable culinary taste. She knew her life had changed for the better when I not only ordered vino but asked the waitress if I could sniff the box before decanting.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
You were way too late for classic Angelo's. Late 70's, it was good stuff.
