I'm from the New York originally, so have pretty high standards for pizza, but don't go in for ""gourmet"" type pizza in general so judge my review accordingly. Angelo's is the best I've found in Houston, and that includes several of the well know pizza joints in town. They are now our families semi-regular friday night dinner. Their pizza's always have fresh ingredients, they have a large topping selection and many crust types, including hand thrown, my favorite is the thick crust (white dough), but the whole wheat is also good, though heavy. Service is what you expect from a really good neihborhood pizza joint - hard to understand on the phone, have to repeat your order at least twice, finish times not always exact. Always like this at good authentic italian pizza joints in NY. These pizza's are made with care, not a corporate style cookie cutter pizza.\r

I think service is better during the week vs. weekend from my experience. I always check my pizza before leaving and have found a couple of mistakes (over ~3 years), each time they asked if I wanted them to do it over.
Pros: Great tasting pizza, multiple crust choices
Cons: order out only, often have to repeat order over phone (its worth the effort)
