NOOOOOO! No more Big Slice or cannolis from Termini's in Philly! Not to mention the gnocchi.

Aw, man, I loved the whole experience of going to the Dizz at the Grandview. Granted, I never was able to convince many of my friends of its awesomeness, but I enjoyed it greatly.

I'm so disappointed to hear about the Dizz at the Grandview. It was a great place to take my daughter for lunch.

Aw man, not Angelo's. I loved the big slice.

the dizz at the grandview was fun, but the service was glacial. it shouldn't take two or more hours to eat lunch on a week day! each time i went, it was at least two hours, and the service was horrible, which is a killer if there are children with you. it was fun to take out of town visitors there, because the view's so spectacular, but the slow service negated it all.

We spent many a Friday and Saturday night eating carryout from Angelo's. So sorry to hear that they are no longer there.

OH, NOOOOO!!!! Not Angelo's. Where will I get an Italian cold cut sub on a par with the best "hoagie" that Philly has to offer, or a sausage with the works that was the best I ever had?

We were tempted to try the Dizz at the Grandview. But we're so accustomed to the the Dizz in Remington -- and it's so darned good -- we never got around to it. I have a hunch that too many Dizz regulars felt the same way.

Angelo's was only a matter of time. I recall a local news channel expose' about dirty restaurants and the Angelo's owner was on camera talking about giving up on controlling his rodent issue.

What?! This can not be! There goes the neighborhood.

Please don't take this as preachy, as that's not my intent:

This may be a good time to remind all of us that if there's an under-the-radar food joint out there that provides something you find valuable, please speak out and let everyone know. I was never pointed to Angelos' Big Slice or cannolis from Philly, and, while I was aware of the apparent oddity of a bar atop a senior living high-rise, I had no idea that the view was truly "grand", as advertised.

This blog provides an opportunity for sharing info about Baltimore establishments that don't often get mentioned in print media. Let's all try to speak up more often about those places that mean the most to us. I'll start:

The fiery red sauce & tortellini at Giovanna's should be saluted every time one drives by on Harford Road. You'll get the equivalent of two delicious homemade meals for the price of a Lean Cuisine.

Never got a chance to enjoy the big slice at Angelo's, but I drove by Sterling's on W. 29th St. and they seem to still be open at that location. Wonder if the Lexington Market thing fell through?

Too bad about Angelo's. The big slice was pretty dreadful but I have some fond memories anyway.

@hmm: when they first put it up for sale, the plan at Sterling's was to leave 29th St open until it sold. In 2011, who knows how long that may be.

Ditto what Charlie Brown said.

Is it just me or does it seem like a lot more restaurants are closing lately?

I used to stop in midway through our cross country practice run from Gilman through Wyman Park and grab a monster slice.

That's something you can only get away with in your teen years without trouble.

I'll miss Angelo's. I suspect Michael's theory regarding Dizz Grandview is right--I always thought about going but ended up at the Dizz down the street.

As to the Grandview - It closed most likely because the place was a dump. We went only one time and, upon entering the dining room, i looked around and nearly turned around to leave. It was dark, dingy, and dirty in all of the ways you don't want a restaurant to be. Had we not been meeting people i would have gone right back down the elevator. The meal wasn't anything to write home about, but when you are dealing with Dizzy Izzies it never is.

We did go to Angelos: RoCK, Mr. Jefferson included. I did write about it here. Where will we go now to eat with the dog in the middle of winter after looking at Miracle on 34th Street? It's only May and my Christmas/Hanukkah is ruined already.

I never saw the appeal of Angelo's personally. The pizza was below average and the subs not much better. But the place didn't close for lack of business, thats for sure. That place was always packed. And I have to admit, it always smelled great when I drove by in the car.

Sorry, about both places closing. The service wasn's the greatest at the Dizz Grandview, but the Remington site should know for some reason the cream of crab soup was much better at the Grandview than in Remington. Also, they should try some of the soup and half sandwich deals the Grandview offered.

Angelo's finally had been closed? they had been putting the word "ni99er" on pizza, spelled out in pepperoni slices. good riddents!
