Angelo's Pizzeria

Bella Vista/Italian Market, Philadelphia · Pizza · $

South Philly's Italian bakeries shaped how the city judges a roll, and this cash-only takeout counter on 9th Street bakes its own seeded loaves for both the hoagies and the cheesesteaks. The cheesesteak on that crackly bread with Cooper Sharp is the local benchmark, and the square upside-down pie, sauce on top of the cheese, has its own following. Arrive early, bring cash, and plan to eat on the street.
