BEST PLACE ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE!!

by johnpreis

This pizza is fantastic! Probably the best around on the upper east side. I eat there about once a week and it gets better and better. Contrary to the other reviewers, the service is great. The guys behind the counter are very nice and funny. I don't think this place should get a bum rap due to these isolated incidents and I'm sure there is another side to this story. GREAT PLACE!!!

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Nothing

Alright Food, terrible service

by johntheglutton

First, I think the high ratings are due to mistaking this place for the pizza place downtown on Houston Street with the same name. Pizza is good but nothing special. Absolutely the rudest people working behind the counter that I have ever encountered. They can give away their pizza but I will never come back due to their rudeness. They won't be making a dime off me.

• Cons: Cramped, Rudeness, Hot and stuffy

Burn Pizza

by vjridi

I ask for Pizza's delivery, as usual from arturo, i am costumer for 2 years, and when i recived the pizza, i figure it that it was burned, i call Arturos and they told me that pizza was cocked well done, and the reality it was another one the pizza was black burn. So they charge me and they send me a burned pizza. So if you are looking for Burn Pizza Call Arturo

Love this pizza!

by swan04

This pizza is addictive, even the crust. Sauce has a light sweetness to it, so good! It's the kind of pie that makes you think how great every ingredient tastes. Tiny place, so get it delivered, or take your slice just two blocks away and enjoy Carl Schurz Park on the East River.

Solid Pizza at a Good Price

by boogie_jdate

As indicated in another review, this is a hole-in-the-wall -- literally. A few tables and the counter ring the walkway to the back of this place, and if 10 or more customers were inside, it would feel like a 4 train at rush hour. But the pizza's great and worth ordering, whether via the front window or by telephone. And cheap -- a large pie with two toppings rings in at a reasonable $16.50 plus tax and tip -- and I hope they're not reading this so they won't raise prices. Solid pizza at a good price, especially considering it's the UES.

• Pros: great pizza, great pizza, and...great pizza
• Cons: cramped, small, warm (no A/C)

This is not downtown

by ocmarts

A lot of people seem to have this place confused with somewhere else. This is a little pizza joint with no A/C and about 3 tables on the upper east side. Yes they do have excellent pizza, but all the stuff about environment and west village must be about another Arturo's. If you live near York and 85th, you must try their pies. If you live in the Village, I can't help you. This is not a sit-down dining experience. It's just good food.

• Pros: Excellent pizza, Cool area, Nice people
• Cons: Small, Hot

This L.A. Woman love this NY Pizza!

by mar5195

While visiting NY we dined at Arturo's. Best pizza I have ever had. Waitress was great all the staff treated us like family. When friends travel to NY I send them to Arturo's. I dream about those pies

I don't quite know what they put in the sauce in this place but it makes the pizza unbelieveable! If your'e a beer drinker it's the place for you. Think thin crust, light cheeze, loads of tase!

• Pros: Food, Alchohol Selection
• Cons: Neighborhood, Small Bar Area

A happy accident.

by trebla

This is one of the best scenes in NYC. The place is romantic and casual. The pizza is some of the best in town. Forget the other courses. And that's why you come here - an atmosphere that could not be copied or planned - like a happy accident, live jazz, and great pizza.

• Pros: great live jazz, great pizza, great atmosphere

Hands down, best pizza

by jriordan

Yum, best pizza in town, as well as best pizza eating experience. Enjoy the outdoor seating, while getting some great people watching in. Grimaldi's and Lombardi's are good, but Arturo's has the total package.
