Best place to drown yourself in feta cheese
Every city has its own raging debate over where to get the best slice of pizza. Thin crust, thick crust, sweet sauce, no sauce. In the quarrel, other pizza-parlor offerings are overlooked. Take, for example, the Greek salad, that pizzeria-menu mainstay: olives, feta, tomatoes, and cukes, with the creamy white dressing that isn't Italian. In Teele Square, there's Angelina's. It looks about like any other neighborhood joint. You've probably got one just like it at the end of your block. But all pizza places are not created equal: no one does Greek salads like Angelina's. The veggies are fresh, and just as important, so's the feta. The mound they scoop on top isn't the powdery dehydrated grit of most places, but a pile of crumbly moistness. Grab a side of onion rings (also top-notch). And sure, pick up a pie while you're at it. A salad may not be the thing for which a pizzeria wants to be known, but if Greek salads enter the pizza-place fray, it'll be Angelina's every round.
Angelina's Pizzeria, 230 Holland Street, Somerville, (617) 776-1240.
