Angelo's Pizza — Restaurant in Mattoon

Update: 2025 Sad. Slide in quality. Two separate occasions I have been on now I saw roaches. They seemed pretty unapologetic about it too. I try not to be rude. Maybe the owners are getting older. Also I noticed portions smaller and prices hiked a fair amount. Previous review circa 2019: This place is predominantly family run. Kind of selective and click-y about hiring.With good reason. They can't just allow anyone to represent their little slice of heaven. I can only assume it is because they put their entire heart and soul into what they do because it is so obvious in the quality of food and service. You get stand-up service whether you dine in, pick up, or call in delivery. Always Timely. In all the years I've eaten there(20yrs, at least) they've messed up one single time on an extremely busy weekend evening, late... Forgetting two meat balls(so trivial). We didn't even call them because the food is so good, it didn't even matter. I am THE MOST nit-picky person in the world and I cannot think of a single time I've left there unsatisfied. If I ever had one teeny, tiny complaint... It would be that the mushrooms they use in the lasagna are canned. I loathe canned mushrooms, if they would swap to fresh, I'd beg them to allow me to franchise lol. Maybe what makes it the absolute best Italian restaurant is that they remain a humble, tiny little shop hiding in a small town. A diamond in a goat's a$$...

Not sure what the bad review was all about but to each his own. The spaghetti is an all time favorite among my household! I know you have heard the saying, "The secret is in the sauce!"- well this definitely fits the bill for their wonderful marinara! It is tangy with a hint of sweetness and it is all together mouth watering! The garlic bread is crisped to perfection with the perfect amount of butter and I personally loved their shredded salads. The shreds make it easy to consume for all ages and there is nothing quite like their House Italian Dressing! Delish! Loved the environment and we are always greeted with friendly and professional staff. The only thing that I would say is that I wish they had a larger facility as well because the seating is a little close, but if your are going for that intimate setting...then Angelos has...

We called ahead to confirm the wing portions before placing our order and were told that both bone-in and boneless wings come in 8-piece servings. However, when our order arrived, we received only 7 bone-in wings and 6 boneless. On top of that, the pizza was cold and the cheese wasn't even melted properly.

When we called the store to address the issue, we spoke with Bill—who identified himself as the owner. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, he dismissed our concerns by saying, “It’s one piece of chicken, what do you want me to do about it?”

But it’s not just one piece—it’s multiple issues with the entire order. As a business owner, minimizing a customer’s complaint instead of offering a solution is not only unprofessional, it reflects poorly on the business. This was a disappointing experience and a poor example of...
