Angeli’s Pizzeria &Bar — Restaurant in Baltimore

While exploring the Baltimore area, I was looking for a good spot to grab a bite and came across a local recommendation for Angeli’s Pizzeria & Bar — and I’m glad I followed through.

Located near The Walters Art Museum and MICA, this spot has a relaxed, inviting atmosphere with friendly and attentive service. The place feels like a neighborhood favorite — casual but with a real commitment to quality.

We started with the Garlic Lemon Pepper wings — crispy, tangy, and packed with flavor. For pizzas, we ordered the Diavolo Chicken, which comes with spicy smoked tomato sauce, mozzarella, marinated chicken breast, caramelized onions, and pancetta — bold and well-balanced. The Fresconi was a lighter but still rich choice, topped with garlic herb sauce, mozzarella, spinach, marinated artichokes, cherry tomatoes, feta, and caramelized onions. Both were fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned.

You can tell this place takes pride in what they serve, using good ingredients and nailing the basics with care. I later read about the history of the original Angeli’s in New Orleans and how the family brought the concept back to life here in Baltimore. That kind of background just adds to the charm.

If you’re in the area and craving pizza or just a solid meal in a chill setting, Angeli’s is definitely...

My last (and first) time at this quaint, laid back place, I only had time for the Portabella Mushrooms with spinach and spicy cream sauce last time. It was delish!

This time I MADE the time to have the Fresconi veggie’za, with spinach, artichokes, cherry tomatoes, feta and caramelized onions. Quite good. I’d say it’s not quite thin gourmet or thick pizza—but somewhere in the middle—comfort food pizza! For me, three slices is filling, with a melange of veggie taste and a tasty crust! Is it the best pizza in Baltimore? We have so many styles, I can’t say. But I definitely want to come back and try the other ‘zas and the broad range of food available (see below).

I had SO much time to kill, that the manager recommended the Espresso Martini. I’ll never get to sleep tonight, but it was SO GOOD! Note: I was having such a nice time, he let me have an Angeli shot on the house—sweetness divine!

I recommend this place for groups, with a buddy or all by your lonesome at the bar, lunch or late night, when you want pizza, salads, sandwiches, pasta and drinks. The atmosphere is chill and the staff accommodating and sociable. I highly recommend hanging out...

Their Mount Royal location is inviting and very clean with outdoor tables. Outstanding friendly customer service every time I've gone.

Calzone - spicy tomato sauce, provolone, mozzarella, mushrooms, and sausage. It was too bready with a bland taste...just bread. It wasn't stuffed enough. Not a good calzone.

Pizza - pepperoni and sausage wasn't greasy. It was nice and thin. The taste was ok.

Portobello Mushrooms with Spinach and Chicken was tasteless. I actually desired this dish and was hopeful that it would be flavorful.

Waffle Fries - were awful. Great portion, though

Stollen Meatballs - were just okay

Cheese Bread - it's really cheese pizza that's hard and tasteless. I should have asked how it would be served. This was an awful menu offering. Awful!

Pepperoni, Sausage, Black Olive Pizza...
