Angelo’s Pizza in Baltimore boasted “the world’s biggest slice” on its sign. Alas, that questionable claim is no longer true; as the Baltimore Sun reports, the Hampden pizza place has been evicted from its Keswick Street building, and has no plans to re-open.
According to the pizzeria’s owner, the landlord booted Angelo’s out after the two sides couldn’t agree on a lease. In the middle of business hours, the sheriff came to kick out customers and padlock the front door. Not exactly a smooth exit.
Did I mention that Angelo’s owner’s name is Angelo Pizza? Yes, you read that right. (And it causes all sorts of amusing lines in the Baltimore Sun’s article: “This time, Pizza said, it looks like the end of Angelo’s.”) In any case, we send our best wishes to Mr. Pizza — with a name like that, I sincerely hope he finds a new place to sling his slices.
that’s terrible!
Oh, the horror, the horror….it is truly the end of an era. Here’s to Mr Pizza!
That was a memory I had with my mom, I feel like a part of me is gone. I will surely miss Angelo’s , but more importantly miss another memory of my mother. Rip mommy I will never forget the memories I had , thank the god above my babies got the chance to know what a great place Angelo’s was. Gone but memories not forgotten .:(
oh no where will i get a jumbo soggy slice of horrible pizza
Why the sympathy? They drove around in 50K Cadillacs for years but couldn’t pay their bills.
they had crap for pizza anyway… and hampden is full of losers. good riddance!
The food sucked maybe we can get something good there now.Sorry for the people who lost their jobs.
Classic story of a small businessman vs the greedy landlord.(most mom and pop’s can’t afford corporate franchise rent)
I loved the steaks and subs from Angelo’s.Always fresh and
very affordable.
