Angelo's Pizza in Kingsland, GA: Delicious Italian Food at a Low Price

Angelo's Restaurant in Kingsland, GA is so successful that they aren't even open on weekends anymore. A small family owned business, Angelo's has been in one location or another, and sometimes in multiple locations, in Kingsland and the surrounding area for more than 25 years. They have always been successful; sometimes the owners close the place and go on vacation to Europe for a month in the summer. Why is Angelo's so successful? The food is, in a word, incredible.

The current location of Angelo's is in the Green Cedar convenience store mini-mall off of exit 3 on interstate 95, which is the second exit in Georgia after you come across the Georgia/Florida border. The restaurant is unassuming, with plain green bench seats at the booths and a couple of tables with chairs. Two benches inside for those waiting for a table are always full. In fact, the dining area, which seats maybe 50 people, is always full as well. And although the atmosphere is pleasant, with Italian music playing and some art on the walls, it is not outstanding. The food is.

On a recent trip I was accompanied by my boyfriend, my parents, my brother and his wife. We had to sit at a table because the booths only hold four people. However, we did not have to wait but about five minutes long to seat ourselves and immediately one of the many friendly but professional servers was there with menus to take our drink order. She even seemed familiar with us from many former visits, but was not chatty, which is what I prefer. Everyone ordered sweet iced tea in "to go" cups, and these cups are probably 40 ounces with all the refills you can drink. The tea was fresh brewed, cold and delicious with just the right amount of sugar and not too much ice.
