Ok, you wonderful locals, I've got a question. I'll be down in Seagrove, staying right next to Angelina's, in a couple of weeks. After a long drive, I'd like to just walk over the Angelina's and get a pizza the first night. How are they? I'm crazy about Spicy Noodle, but after a long trip from Louisiana, those last few miles to the Noodle might be more than my son can take.

I think the pizzas are very good there - probably the best food on the menu. I like Angelina's food okay - it's a fun family place - but wouldn't be my choice - overall - unless I was very hungry and didn't want to drive far. in this case, it's a great place to have close by...

Thanks for the replies. I'm conflicted now. I know we won't want pizza twice and I know we love the Noodle. Would you say one is better than the other (Spicy Noodle or Angelinas)? Also, what else (not necessarily pizza) would be in that immediate vincinity that we could walk and pick it up and bring it back to the lazy boy in the condo?

Cocoon's is good and located just down the street, but closes around 8 or 9.

Best pizza in town is at Amore's in Gulf Place. 😀 we've also really enjoyed pizza from Gravel Road and Cafe Spiazza. Amore is the closest thing to pizza Italia though...

Angelina's pizza is thinner crust, less cheese, and more traditional topping combinations than Amore. Personally, I like it better than Amore, even though that's not in line with popular sentiment here at SoWal.com. Whatever floats your boat...

The pastas vary. The regular spaghetti with meat sauce is good, as is the seafood Fra Diavolo. I haven't had the sandwiches.

They are very popular this time of year. If you want to eat in for dinner, be prepared for a wait, especially weekends.

I call in takeout until school starts. They are quite prompt with that - I rarely have to wait more than 5-10 minutes, even though I just call it in and hop in the car to drive the mile or so from Eastern Lake.

Count me as a happy customer.

I've heard people say they LOVE the pizza at Angelina's. I've personally never had it. I've tried many other entrees there though - salads are very good, but the rest is very disappointing to this Italian food lover (mediocrity at best). But, we still go there on occasion just for the fun of it with kids.

Tootsie, I have to say that's my opinion of more than a few restaurants in SoWal. We go out to eat at the beach because someone else is cooking for us, for the atmosphere, for the fun of it...not because we expect an excellent meal at a excellent price. But that's okay. Three out of four ain't bad. :cool:

If you go to Angelina's, watch out for the old toothpick in the salad trick. (actual experience- which has turned me off from visiting Angelina's again. No apology given, and they didn't seem to give a hoot.)

Damn, SJ...I felt your pain all the way over here! (I hope it wasn't used :shock: )

That was the fear.

I should also note, I hear many people enjoy Angelina's without toothpicks.

you do speak the truth Mer! we do have our favorites, a few with excellent food, and several with funn atmosphere, and pricing is almost always up there -compared to other really outstanding restaurants in bigger cities... but, hey, we now have Italian and Mexican and Thai food, and even bad Chinese! WE didn't have those choices 10 years ago.

A very good source whom we know and love says you have to drive up to Freeport to get yummy food at a yummy price. I can do that much better than fancy food at a fancy price. ;-)

Did I see that Cocoon's is for sale? If so, as it affected the quality? I think I'm gonna check it out when we're down there.

Yes, it has been for sale for over a year -- no change in quality or service.
