Pitch angle is with reference to the Horizon.

AoA is in relation to the Chord line and Relative Airflow ( Free relative airflow in some American texts ).

A stall is when the Critial angle ( AoA ) is exceeded, i.e. when the AoA is exceeded, not the Pitch angle.

Any pilot that does not know that should be driving a taxi.
