Angelos

I've driven by a few times now and finally, I had an opportunity to stop in and grab some pizza. The parking lot is enough to fit a few cars and there are a few tables outside on the covered porch. Inside you'll find more booths and tables - plenty of space for a decent-sized group. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. I went with a plain cheese pizza and it was pretty good! The crust was thick, fluffy, but also airy and light. They certainly didn't skimp on the cheese which was browned nicely. The sauce was pleasantly sweet. There was a little bit of cheese slide, but I didn't mind too much. Overall, I'm happy with Angelo's and would happily return for more.

We have ordered before for lunch, never had a problem until today. Ordered, was late, not a problem, things happened. We still had lunch, mind you a 80+$ meal. Paid tip over phone. Well, customer service was awful. Just. Awful. The driver/deliverer was very rude, snippy, and demanded we hand her a tip. Well, we explained we sent one when we paid over the phone and it was on the recipient, that wasn't apparently not good enough, with her reaction as: Well, so you're not going to tip me? We called to let them know how snippy and rude she was, then THE OWNER: basically gave us a huge drug through the mud by saying her reaction was fine because she is paid "5-6$ dollars an hour, and for tips" when we explained that we were slightly frustrated due to the poor service and how we were treated.

I grew up eating a lot at Angelo's in Bangor, and it is great to have a place like the Hampden branch that can deliver to where I currently live, way out in the middle of basically nowhere. I want to preface this by saying that the staff I spoke to were all great, friendly, and understanding, including my delivery driver, who I could notice seemed very overworked. However a recent order recently rubbed me very much the wrong way in terms of food quality. I ordered some Mozzarella Sticks, a Chicken Caesar Wrap with lettuce, and a small Buffalo Chicken Pizza with Ranch. The Mozzarella Sticks were disgustingly overbattered and incredibly greasy. It almost made me vomit and it made me feeling like I had a rock in my stomach the entire next day. I took only a single bite of the wrap and other than smelling mustard in what was meant to be a Caesar wrap, first of all, was very strange. Second, I could not tell if the greens used in the wrap was traditional lettuce or grass clippings, because it looked like the former, but tasted like the latter. I should have started with the Buffalo Chicken Pizza with Ranch because it was probably the most unexciting thing I ordered, for better or for worse. There was some buffalo chicken on it and it tasted like buffalo chicken, but I couldn't taste any ranch whatsoever, so it just ended up being slightly spicy and kind of... bland. And that's not to mention the extremely stale crust that has been used forever seems to have gotten even more stale. I'm leaving this review in hopes that the quality of the food does eventually improve. However, when it was explained to me by the person who took my phone call that a ton of orders were running late, that leads me to believe a lot of this is down to poor management and the rest of the staff are doing the best they can.

So if i was anyone i would not ever eat here again. Recently this Angelos location in hampden maine was closed for over a week the owner said on Facebook that it was do to staff shortages, well i can tell that is a lie as i live accross the street from them and watched as pest control was there for two hours during the week they were closed. Not only this but i have gone into the place just to be treated like an inconvenience by all the staff especially the “manager” what a joke its no wonder she works a cash register and not something with a little more brain power cause she is clueless i will never eat here again and neither should you
