Michelangelo’s Pizzeria @ Ipoh – Celebrations

NEW!! (January 2011) – Giant Cinnamon Rolls, Tuna Spaghetti & Jalapeno Mac & Cheese
Baby Back Ribs Pizza Promotion (ended in Oct 2010) – http://www.j2kfm.com/baby-back-ribs-pizza-michelangelos-pizzeria-ipoh-promotion/
Since Michelangelo’s Pizzeria (www) changes their menu and specials of the week/month from time to time, this post will be constantly being updated with the latest promotions from Ipoh’s most beloved pizzeria, specials of the week (they change at blistering speed, so you’d better check the latest updates on this page) and maybe a contest or two in the future.
Elevated on those huge but hollowed Heinz tomato paste cans, the pizzas at Michelangelo’s Pizzeria are never short of fresh, quality ingredients.
Currently, Michelangelo’s Pizzeria is offering a special MEATBALL Pizza (scroll down for a better look), with Italian style of chunky and dense balls of pork laced with herbs and spices, generously thrown on the dough with melted mozzarella and fresh tomato paste. If you’re a meatball lover, you CAN’T give this a miss !!! For limited time only!
Meatball Pizza & Chicken of the Sea (Tuna, Onions, Pineapples)
Good thing about dining at Michelangelo’s Pizzeria is that you can mix and match your pizzas, and the ingredients that go onto the base. Select up to two choices for each pizza (don’t worry, you won’t be paying an arm and a leg … unless you decide to order 4 varieties in ONE pizza, then Michael might come at you with a cleaver!) so you can taste different varieties without having to order excessively.
The Hog (Italian Pork Sausages, Smoked Streaky Bacon, Virginia Ham) and Bacon & Eggs
The “Chicken of the Sea” or tuna, onions and pineapple pizza is also a special item NOT featured permanently in the menu. Though with much persuasion (possibly a wink or two), you can try to coerce them into inserting the combination into the permanent menu.
And you really should, for the chunks of briny tuna with loads of chopped onions and cubed pineapples made a beautiful coalition; enough to send one into a seafood frenzy.
My personal favourite pizza from the list? The HOG of course. With an overload of PORKY goodness; bacons, sausages and hams, how can one resist this barbaric/carnivorous creation?!! Pray they do not take this out from the menu, for if you’re in dire need for protein, THIS IS IT. The Bacon And Eggs pizza is also a terrific combination, with overeasy eggs cracked on top of the layers of cheese, then topped with smokey streaked bacons.
Spicy Creamy Chicken Stroganoff – A fiery twist to the classic
Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Pepper stuffed with Cheese – Be prepared to breathe fire ……
Other specials currently on the menu include the spaghetti topped with creamy Chicken Stroganoff, but this one has a fiery kick to it. If you’re good with spicy food, then give their Grilled Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Pepper with Cheese a try. Want even more kick? Try the peppers WITH the seeds intact!!!! (Ask for Meg to please your sadistic palate)

Michelangelo’s Pizzeria was the place me and my friends’ end the year 2009 celebrating our birthday together.
All the ingredients were so fresh(I missed their bacon), really can’t wait to bring more frens to try again.
And not forgot to mention their cheese cake, a MUST try, the cheezy flavor spread to every corner inside my mouth in every bite.
I’m really glad we have such a great pizza place (beside shakey’s and …..da pizza hut) in Ipoh serving real thin pizzas with fresh ingredients.
*I suggest to those who planned to go to Michelangelo’s Pizzeria, plz bring your frens along so that you all can taste more different pizza (including customized toppings).

Yeah, bring more friends, for the pizza is served in a standard portion, and rather large at that.
I started my year with Michelangelo’s instead. 🙂

Do they do take-aways already like the usual American Pizzerias or it’s in the plans for the future? If they do take-aways, it’ll be pretty cool (great for house parties/dinners) tho may not be as good as eating it there… 🙂
[Reply]
Yes we do take away’s every night, in fact we encourage it all the time.

Went to Michelangelo’s Pizzeria just because of your fantastic post! Well, I was in for a shock of my life when the lady boss was so rude & kicked me out by saying repeatedly, ‘THIS IS MY RESTAURANT & I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT, SO GET UP!!’ when I sat at a table that I’ve waited for 15mins ala ‘Foh San Tim Sum Restaurant’ style! No need to be so arrogant & chase your customers away when your business is good Mrs Michelangelo!

Wait, this is serious. The lady boss herself? You mean SL? That can’t be true, she’s a very nice lady.
You mind to explain in details, so the management themselves can answer this accusation?
[Reply]
What happened was this and there are several other customers who will attest to this. We had a full house and no seats at all., there were four parties waiting patiently outside. This lady walked past them all and sat down the minute a table opened up. SL went up to her very politely and asked her if she would mind sitting at the counter becuae this table was meant for one of the parties who had been waiting for more then several minutes, the lady’s exact words were and I quote: “yes I do mind, you have no wait to be seated sign outside. SL then politely said to her, yes we know that, it is on a first come first sit basis, however because we are completely full and there are already people waiting we are trying to help them out, if you could move to the counter we will find you a table as soon as one turns up. The lady still refused to move and also said again that there is no wait to be seated sign and that she can sit there. SL for a third time very nicely tried to accommodate her by saying she would find her and her friend another table if she would mind moving to the counter first, but the lady still refused and said she was waiting for a friend, this table was meant for a party of 4. This was also during our busiest time on Sunday night. When the lady became rude to SL and said she will not move and she does not care, SL then said this is my restaurant and we have to consider all our customers concerns. The lady became more aggressive so SL said if she did not like moving to the counter she could leave. It was very unfortunate and the customers there felt uncomfortable about what had happened. However we do have to take the concerns of all our customers to heart and this lady was the type that would walk past you waiting in line at the bank or cut in front of you in a car when you were waiting for a turn, that is how she appeared. Funny though because we thought she was a repeat customer, maybe this was her first time there. Those who have been to our place know that we try very hard to give them the best experience that we can give, we also usually give free coffees, cheesecakes, or meals on the house if there are any delays. We have a very limited number of tables around 9 to 10 and can only sit around 40-50 people at a time and we try to make certain everyone gets in and gets their turn. But there are unfortunate times where the customers “are not” always correct. We have severed around 1000 plus people since we opened on the 24th and this is the very first time we had an ugly incident. Those who have been there or know us know that in no way are we like the above description. This really was a case were the customer was abusive, and rude to us first and would not understand that there were people there waiting before her even though we do not have a please wait to be seated sign. It should have been obvious to her that even though we do not have such a sign that there were people there before her waiting for a table.
We do have the right to help our customers out. And I am very sorry to say this as we do not wish to loose any customers at all, but if this is the type of customer that is wanting to come to our place we can do without this person and their attitude. While we would welcome her back at any time and give her the best in service we could, it was her attitude that brought on the small outrage that occurred on both sides. We will let the customers be the judge of it. But funny how she left out the parts above in her comments about her insisting that there is no wait to be seated sign, that SL did in fact asked her politely if she would mind waiting at the counter 1-3 times before becoming more direct towards her and that she refused to leave and knew there were others there before her waiting for a table. Again do remember we do have other customers that were there this night that did in fact hear what was said and how it went down. We do thank them for their support as well.

Great response to the above post Micheal! 🙂
I am one of the very happy customers who saw how Michael and SL treated all customers regardless how packed and impatient the customers got, while handling the orders promptly and still put on a smiling face to each request and order.
It gives me great pleasure to patronize your shop and taste the wonderful pzza you’ve made, while educating me on the different styles of pizza from new york, chicago and even Italy. Going out of the way and keeping your customers well educated while tossing dough is certainly no easy feat, and I definitely will be back again for more. =)
Sorry motormouth for turning your blog post into a testimony page! ^^
[Reply]
Great job, michael! Never bentover to dark force! 😛
Already went to your pizzeria twice past three weeks, will surely bring more guys to your pizzeria! Anyway, further speeding up the serving of the meal would be great, sometimes the aroma of nearby table is killing me while I’m waiting for mine 🙁
[Reply]
I do not know about the one person and the comments he made but we had great service there last night. We also tried ths pizza called the hawaiian luau and it was really yummy, had real ham o it ad onions and pineapples, a real treat compared to pizza hut’s hawaiian chicken pizza.Service is very nice and polite. Will be going back for much more.
[Reply]
i tried the pizza with Blue Cheese 🙂
absolutely delicious… unless u don’t like Blue Cheese :p
Can’t wait to try other variety of pizza too.
[Reply]
Went for the third time within 3 weeks time … my pizza was burned out and I was witnessing it! I should have shouted michael, watch out my pizza! Too bad I only knew it was mine till the staff told me … LOL
[Reply]
Yeah I recall that too, If I remember correctly I asked my staff to inform him that his pizza was way charred out and we made him a new one right away. Things like this do happen sometimes when you work with a wood fire oven at 750 to 800 degrees and if we ever black one out too much on the bottom we of course admit it, give them a new one and use the old one for a hockey puck or a table leg stabilizer LOL. Steve so sorry for any wait period you had to go through and if any of our other guests ever encounter the above, please do let us know we will take care of it right on the spot.
[Reply]
Hi,
I’m going tomorrow .
[Reply]
It’s ok about the charred out pizza, Michael! I know things like this do happen when everything getting hectic … will plan for my 4th visit very soon, this time would bring my family, my sisters had been nagging me for not bringing them over LOL
[Reply]
Steve, just be sure to step up to my area there and say hello, will be glad to give it a little more attention hehe. We have some new pizzas, the best being The Hog: Virginia ham, smokey bacon and Italian Sausage and it is great, my wife thought of it and it went like crazy today. Going to have a few other hot things coming over the next week or so also. Oh yeah, we have this terrific new pasta with red sauce, sure you will like it very much.
[Reply]
I finally went there last night!!! we were on the way back to KL from pantai remis.
The pizza was great, we have vegetarian pizza and miki miki~~ yummy!! Both the bread sticks the knots were sp cheesy, oh, and I like the best -Spagetti Carbonara! 6 of us shared one plate, but I believe that I can finish up one plate by myself LOL! My brother love the cheese cake, althou we were really full, but we still able to wallop the cheese cake ^^
Em… only one small drawback that bothers me, the music was so loud. Other than this, everything was great. It is a great place serving great food! I’ll definitely go there again once i got chance.
Wish that their business is getting better, so much better, that they will plan to open a branch at puchong. LOL!

Tasted The Hog too, great for carnivore like me! Anyway, my friend does mentioned to me that if there are more variety of vegetables on those meat dominating pizza, that would be great and the frequent appeared tomato paste on most pizza does makes them quite identical to each other 🙂
[Reply]
Hey Steve my friend, you do know you can always pick and choose your own toppings on our pizzas or even B.Y.O. (build your own.) My friends, it is not simply tomato paste hehe, it is our very own mixture of seasonings and herbs that give it its’ very own unique taste.
Steve, be sure to come up to me at the counter and yell hello so I know you are there. Next week we are having Fresco Pizza, no sauce, no cheese, just the base coated in olive oil and fresh minced garlic then cooked in our wood fire oven. After we cooked the base we then will top it with rocket (arugula), fresh cut tomatoes, feta cheese, black olives and a drizzle of olive oil. Very light, frequent and very organic. I’m sure you will like it very much, my wife discovered this little treasure and those we have tested it on loved it very much.

It’s always pleasing to know that you’re coming up with new creations on a random basis.
I can’t imagine a stagnant menu for the whole year. Or lifetime.
[Reply]
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
[Reply]
We went there a few days ago and my entire family was impressed by the quality of the food. We ordered two pizzas both half and half as there are so many choices to pick from. I think this place will go a long way in offering top food for Ipoh, pizza hut cannot do what these guys do. The pizzas are very good and of a good size, however the place is small and tightly packed without a lot of room to move. It was a little warm in there also, but they were fixing the ac when we were there. I have not seen any other place like this in Ipoh or KL before, so this is what “real” pizza or real American pizza is suppose to be like, we loved it and will be back for much more.
[Reply]
I agree with Steve (January 17 post).
I m doubtful. I went there on Feb15, 2010, 2nd day of chinese new year on 7pm something like that, total 6 of us.
The foods and drinks over there are far from my expectation.
I ask them whether any side-dishes such as chicken wings, etc. The waitress say – ‘We are not pizza hut’. I m curious, why they compare themselves with pizza-hut ? Ok no problem at all, I ask her to suggest us what they served the best.
We order 2 pizzas (half bluecheese half chesses topping + ham topping), 1 Spaghetti, 1 tuna salad, 4 cappuccino, 1 espresso, 1 100 plus.
1st serve – Tuna salad, normal.
2nd – 4 Cappuccino(s) served, 3 in 1 coffee mixer are much better than them.
3rd – Spaghetti, tasteless.
4th – espresso, tasteless, i can’t think that i m drinking espresso – very light favor.
5th – pizza served, pizzas are over-cooked and bottom layer are seriously burned. Taste are bitter.
I ask the waitress n she say is like that, and i ask her to try herself, she refuse to do that. Honestly, i’m not enjoying myself over there.
[Reply]
Dear Eric, I do apologize you had a bad experience there in our place and hope you will allow us to try to make it up to you one day, however I would also like to address a few of the points you raised.
1st We never had tuna salad at any time in our place, we did have a tuna pizza and a tuna pasta, which became one of our most requested pasta from returning customers who had ordered it in the past, we ran this special for 2 and ½ weeks.
2-4 we offer Lavazza Coffee, which is Italy’s number one espresso and coffee while Illy is the number one outside of Italy. Everyone has their own opinion on coffees and we do receive a lot of compliments on our coffee. While we are not a coffee house we do try to offer a decent cup at a very affordable price, I do apologize we were not able to make it to your expectations.
5 Pizzas, If you did have a seriously burned pizza (and we have stated in the past this can happen at times) you could have at anytime contacted us and we would have replaced it. All of our employees are taught what constitutes a “burned” pizza and what is a Charred pizza. All wood fire pizzas should have black and slight bitter marks on the bottom, as long as less than 20% of the bottom is black it is considered a perfect wood fire pizza, anything more than that is considered burned. While I do appreciate the customers view, w2e have had several customers who had never had wood fire pizza before and had only Pizza Hut. To them they thought their pizzas were burned and bitter when in fact it was a perfectly cooked pizza with a little charring on the bottom and some blackening on the top. Then again, we have had pizzas go out that were over cooked and we try to fix every customer that we can.
Lastly, the reason for comparing us to Pizza Hut was probably because we are the only two companies in Ipoh that cater to pizzas and that a lot of our costumers compare us to Pizza Hut. However, we do not really compare ourselves to them, pizza hut is a full service restaurant we are not, we are a pizzeria and we are non-halal.

My 1st visit was on the 8/3/10 after receiving good comments from my friends. I ordered The Hog and Garlic Parmesan Knots to share with my wife. The pizza was good while the Garlic Parmesan Knots was not bad. The downfall was the Americano I ordered which was very normal similiar to our Msia Kopi-O. Very lack of beverage like fruit juice.Need more improvement.

Dear KF,
Thank you for your comments, first let me address the lack of beverage, please remember we are not a Malaysian restaurant, in fact we are not a restaurant per se’ we are a true American Pizzeria and because of that we offer actually more than most pizzeria’s in America offer for drinks which is just soft drinks. This is a fast food establishment not too unlike McDonald’s or KFC except we make everything fresh. We try to keep costs down as well as time in preparing items.
As for the coffee, again let me apologize to people about this, we offer Lavazza Coffee and we have the machine set to the recommended amount, while we do our very best to please everyone, we obviously are not able to do that as each person has their own ideas on how they want their coffees to be, some want very strong while others want very weak. We try to set aroma and strength to the recommended amount of that in Italy.
Again please remember we are not a restaurant like Pizza Hut, etc, but a limited fast food place that actually specializes mainly in pizzas, while offering a few other items. For a pizzeria,, our menu is actually quite extensive as it is, we do hope in time as more and more people in Ipoh become familiar with the idea of a pizzeria they will also begin to appreciate our menu. Lastly, we do offer weekly specials that change every week and this in itself allows us to offer more than most other places as well.
We thank everyone for their comments and suggestions and will continue to try our very best to meet everyone’s expectations.

The nutrition level of organic foods is much higher than the ordinary, chemical added plantation foods, the main thing is the not organic plantation they strike for faster grow rate of the plantations, hence it shorten the time needed for the plantation to accumulate enough nutrition and vitamin in it, instead pumping more chemical stuff for it to grow faster and bigger but not much good ingredients.

My god-daughter wanted to eat pizza at Pizza Hut. I said why not we try something different and special like in Michelangelo Pizzaria. (Heard about this place from a friend). So we went there at 7.30 pm on Monday, 14-6-10. As the place is new to us, we tried to look out for the bright & white signboard in the area as informed. After searching for almost 40 minutes, going around the area a few times, we finally found it – closed ! In fact,, we have passed by the pizzaria a few times but missed it because the signboard light was not on that day, i.e Monday ! We didn’t know about that. Just as we stopped in front, another car came in and was also searching for the pizzaria !
Now that I know where is it, no problem going there on this Wednesday ! Hope the pizzas and services are as good as what have been mentioned here earlier so as to compensate our lost hours searching for this famous pizzaria.

[Reply]
Hi James, thanks for your reply.
Well, we arrived at the pizzeria just after 8 pm tonight. It was almost full house except left two tables. Surprisingly such a good turnout on a Wednesday whereby other eateries are at the quiet end ! We occupied the table for four near the entrance on the right side.
We were promptly greeted by the ever smiling waitress and provided with the menu. We ordered the Breadsticks, Garlic Knots, The Hog and Blue Cheese . Anything more ? Yes, not forgetting tonight’s special menu that was something like green capsicum stuff with cheese, meat paste with a long slice of bacon rolled over it. (I have forgotten the title of this food !).
In less than 10 minutes, food was speedily served to us. Hey, it’s faster than Pizza Hut ! Unbelievable !
We all love the stuff capsicum as well as The Hog, breadsticks and the knots especially dipped with the melted garlic butter sauce. Yummy ! My mum somehow can’t stand the little bit sourly Blue Cheese so I have to take over her whole piece.
The environment was a bit noisy, partly due to the full crowd and also the loud music. This, I totally agreed with Ms SinYee (posted on Feb 16, 2010) as we have to shout louder to each other to be heard.
Overall, we were satisfied with the food, the efficient and friendly service and the billings, of course! We graded this pizzeria 7 out of 10 points and will return to try the rest of the pizzas in the menu in due course.
Lastly, I totally disagreed with what Already Gone (posted on 10-1-2010) said about the lady boss’s attitude towards her customer after observing Mrs Michael and her staff’s manners and services during my meal there. I think she had made the right decision at that time.
James, hope to see you there one fine day.

Hey there … glad that experience proved to be a positive one! 🙂
Service all this while has been close to spectacular for me. And no, I did not proclaim myself as a blogger at times, when Michael’s not around.
So no biased service or whatnot.

Thank you for the above comments, however that was not my wife there on Wednesday, that was in fact our other friend and partner Ms. Lee, my wife and I were on the way back from KLIA that night. The special dish you are talking about is not capsicum but instead jalapeno peppers, stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon and then fire grilled in our wood burning oven. We are very glad you liked the place and the environment.
We would like to note once again to all of our customers, our place is not a restaurant but instead a Rock N Roll American Pizzeria, meant to be fast served food in an extremely casual atmosphere with loud music just like at Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood. We do try very hard to be truly unique and as American as we possibly can be. All of our staff are told to have a wonderful time, joke with the customers, even dance in the room if they feel like it and just be friendly and treat everyone good and have fun.
We do hope you will come by again sometime soon and if you happen to see a Gweilo walking around, throwing a pizza in the air or chasing one of the staff with a towel in hand smacking them on the bum, just yell out hi as it will probably be me. As for having to almost yell in order to talk, well just so you do know, by all means go ahead and yell, we do…

I am back ! Sorry for the mistaken identity of Mrs Michael as I didn’t realize that Mr Michael is a Gweilo !
I will drop by anytime soon. Hope I won’t be the 38th person to queue up for a table as I heard that Michelangelo Pizzeria is always full house ! Hahaha

Hi Li Ann, so have you made up your mind? 🙂
I sure hope you have a great time there this evening.

If I remember correctly I asked my staff to inform him that his pizza was way charred out and we made him a new one right away.

To all, I do not know who made the above comment. It was not from our store nor was it me that said it. James, I’m not sure if someone was trying to pretend they were me on here, yet you know when I post I think since you can see our email addresses and the above posting from: “Pizza King” was not postedf by anyone from MichelangelO’s Pizzeria in Ipoh.

Thanks Michael for the clarification. I guess someone’s playing a prank on you?
Or doing something really stupid here …….
It’s fine. Least the readers know it’s not you or anyone from your place.
