Angelos New Idea, Pizza Beer Flavoring
First came beer with pizza flavors, an idea that Tom and Athena Seefurth parlayed into a successful home-brewery business.
Then came pizza crust and sausage made with the Seefurths’ Mama Mia! Pizza Beer at Michel Angelos Pizza & Pasta, Inc., 40W143 Campton Crossings Drive, Campton Hills.
Now comes celebrity: 190 North, the WLS-TV show about what’s hip and happening, sent Lou Canellis to tape a segment at Michel Angelos about the pizza beer pizza.
Michel Angelos owner Frank McCarron said he was told the segment would air at 10:35 p.m. May 25.
McCarron said he’s been adding pizza beer to the crust and sausage for about six months after pizza beer creator Seefurth ate a slice of his New York style pizza.
Participants brought bottles of Mama Mia! Pizza Beer they bought from nearby Lighthouse Liquors because Michel Angelos did not have a liquor license.
In the minutes before taping, McCarron hurriedly filled out paperwork, got fingerprinted and paid $250 for a bring-your-own-beverage liquor license from Campton Hills.
“We have been doing it since we opened two years ago, but now you have to have a license for BYOB,” McCarron said. “It has to be legal. I’m across the street from the police department.”

Well, sounds strange to me but I love to try one.. This must secure a license, and maybe they must state the age bracket of people who were the ones allowed to eat that food, you know..
It must be avoided for minors.

The pizza business will always be a hot career for anyone that can make it work. Making differnt flavours and experimenting will only add more to sales.

We are encouraging others to use our beer as a pairing (served in a wine glass) as well as an ingredient. Joe Caputo & Son’s just did a “Pizza Beer Battered Cod” out of this world. Josef’s in Geneva and Reams in Elburn, IL are using our beer to make Pizza Beer Italian Sausage. The Pizza Beer Crust Pizza Spritzed with Pizza Beer is now called “The Over 21″ & we are encouraging other restaurants to experiment & have fun making great tasting food with our beer!
