About Angelette

Behind an ordinary Croydon takeaway counter sits a covered backyard dining space with a true slice of Lygon Street spirit. The centerpiece here is the 18-inch thin-crust pizza—spun wide, served on a lazy Susan, and baked light so the dough never leaves you feeling weighed down. Tables fill fast with shared half-and-half pies, house-made pastas, and guests catching quiet kitchen insights from the chef over unlisted bottles of wine.

  • Secret Backyard Dining: Slip through the side entrance past the takeout counter into a covered, quirky backyard dining shed.
  • 18-Inch Sharing Pies: Massive 18-inch thin-base pies arrive at the table on a lazy Susan, made for sharing among groups.
  • Tableside Chef Hospitality: The chef visits tables to share the heritage behind dishes and pour off-menu wine bottles.

  • Personal Tableside Storytelling with the Chef

    The chef and owner actively visit tables to walk guests through specials, dish heritage, and custom wine pairings.

    Being briefed on the specials in good detail by the chef, prompt and appropriate service by the waiter and follow up at the end of the meal with some interesting insights into what we had just eaten and its heritage.

  • Communal 18-Inch Pizzas Served on a Lazy Susan

    Sized to easily share among groups, massive 18-inch thin-crust pizzas arrive communally on tabletop lazy Susans.

    All the pictures of the pizza do not do the size justice. I think it is quite literally the biggest pizza I have ever seen. It came out on a lazy Susan!!

    Generous oversized pies make it easy and budget-friendly to feed friends and family without anyone leaving hungry.

    Ordered an entree garlic pizza and 2 other pizzas for mains between 3 guys. Couldnt finish them. Pizzas are huge and very tasty.

  • Meticulously Crafted, Deep-Flavored Crust

    Special attention to fermented dough produces a thin, airy crust that provides structure without heaviness or greasiness.

    This place pay a lot of attention with the dough, and they know the dough is good because they left the crust part a big deeper than other place. That's an excellent choice.

  • Non-Greasy Bases That Digest Lightly

    Carefully balanced toppings and minimal oil ensure that even substantial portions remain gentle and easy to digest.

    Pizza crust is very thin, balanced the flavours very well, not overloaded with cheese like other pizza places, you can eat whole pizza and still feel light.

  • Chicken Truffle Pizza

    We had the chicken truffle pizza and it was the best pizza we’ve both had in a very long time. It was a great size as well.

  • Penne Pollo e Funghi

    The Penne Pollo e Funghi was delicious, and the Linguine Seafood Marinara was unique but still enjoyable.

Before you head over

Practical advice for finding the hidden dining space and ordering to share

  • Locating the dining area

    The front looks like a standard takeaway shopfront, but dining in is located around the back. Follow the side entrance or back access door to reach the covered backyard dining area.

  • Sizing and sharing pizzas

    The 18-inch pizzas are massive and served on lazy Susans. Two pizzas are often plenty for four adults, and half-and-half topping options let you sample different varieties easily.

  • Dressing for alfresco dining

    The covered backyard and alfresco dining shed can get brisk during cooler evenings, so bringing a jacket or warm layer is recommended.
