Papa Angelo's Pizzeria
3921 N. College Ave.Bethany, 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
(actually there are two places in the metro, since Papa Angelo's has a location both on the west
side in Bethany and east of the city in Jones). 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. The one time I returned to the restaurant I ended up not
eating there because I did not see the specials I wanted, and I was not in the mood for a one
or two topping pizza.
Some "pasta" dishes are also served, including ziti, lasagna, and calzone. This is primarily
a pizza restaurant, though, and I would say pizza is their specialty (since the pizza I had was
probably the best I have experienced in OKC).
