The first Red Angel Pizza shop opened for business on July 4th, 1974 in the small town of Payne, Ohio. The amazing pizza and grinders became an instant hit and many more shops were created in surrounding areas.  Like many others, you may wonder where the name came from.  It’s actually quite simple:  The names of the two original founders were “Red” and his partner “Angel”.  They put their names together and voila’! 

The foundation for Red Angel’s delicious pizza is still the same today as it was over 36 years ago:  A unique sour dough crust and an amazing sauce recipe that’s worth millions! We never skimp on our toppings and every pizza is finished off with a thick layer of pure mozzarella cheese. 

The Lima Road location is owned and operated by Fort Wayne locals Brian and Karen Lonergan.  Karen’s family got involved with Red Angel Pizza over 35 years ago when a shop moved in right beside her childhood home in Paulding, Ohio.  Many people are familiar with Karen’s Mother, Ethel Jewel, who has been the General Manager over several Red Angel Pizza shops in and around the Paulding area for over 33 years.
