Angelo's Pizzeria Cheesesteak and Pizza Review

Pro tips

• Fry onions until deep golden and crispy before adding to the cheesesteak to maintain texture contrast
• Use a puffy, high-hydration pizza dough and allow proper fermentation to achieve the characteristic airy crust
• Cook cheesesteak on a hot griddle or flattop at high heat to achieve proper cheese melt and meat browning
• Top pizza immediately after sauce application to prevent sogginess while maintaining crust structure

Substitutions

• Provolone → Cheez Whiz (traditional Philadelphia style alternative)
• Fresh onions → Caramelized onions (deeper sweetness, different texture)

Equipment

griddle or flattop · pizza oven or conventional oven
