Armand’s Pizzeria

My wife and I go here often for the pizza — it’s our favorite in Arlington Heights. The place is a little tight, but they are moving soon to a bigger location so that should get better.
Their bar is small, so if you are looking for that this is not the place. The «bar» has only one TV, so if you want to watch the game, again this is not the place.
We’ve never ordered any of the entrees, so can’t comment on those. Homemade sausage on the pizza is fantastic, sauce is good, and the bread they bring to the table is unique and flavorful. Salads are big and good too.
I think Tuesday is buy one pizza get one free. They will delay cooking the second (free) pizza so you can just take it home fresh :)

I went with my family last night for fathers day, thought that both the service and food was great. I thought the pizza was delicious, loved the sauce, we had two different kinds. A thin Cheese and Sausage and a Thin Cheese and Pepporoni. Both were great!
I’d go back for sure.

Couldn’t decide between 1 or 2 stars, so I gave the benefit to the fact that our server announced that this was his first serving job, and he only had a few months practice.
Starting with the house salad, either the cucumbers were frozen or kept in water to preserve them… Not a good approach.
Fried Zucchini where huge, and the b&b plates that we had to eat them off of were not large enough.
Entrees: pasta with a side of shrimp, daughter ate that and seemed happy. My ball sandwich, rather flavorless and not nearly enough gravy to improve the taste, even when I asked for more. Half slab of ribs, waiter asked if we wanted them cooked medium? Came out way over cooked, nasty tough.
I don’t think I will be going back
Would not recommend to anyone

This is legit the best pizza in town. Had it a couple times now, got to try the pan pizza pepperoni and the thin crust with fresh garlic, spinach and mushrooms. Both were fantastic. Five stars and deserves to be a Top 10 restaurant in The Heights.

My dad loves this place. Every time we’re figuring out where we should go to eat, he suggests Armand’s even when it’s completely out of the way.
I’ve been there twice. The first time I had the mostaccioli arrabiata. It doesn’t seem that spicy at first because it creeps. Don’t be fooled! I ate much more of the incredibly generous portion than I’d expected because it was tasty without being being heavy, if that makes sense. The second time I had baked mostaccioli. Generous with the cheese. It could have been drained better, though. Of the two, I prefer the arrabiata.
Waitress Sam is awesome. Nice, personable, attentive, patient.

The food and service are both grear. Everyone is very welcoming from the minute you walk on the door.
Highly recomend.

Have never been a fan of their pizza, but after tonight, I am done with Armand’s. Ordered a 14″ ½ sausage thin crust pizza. Nothing was good about it. Crust seemed stale and overlooked. Sauce was bland to tasteless. Way too light on the cheese and they were way too cheap on the sausage, which was burnt. I did like the Armand’s Salad. Next time I’m going to try Aurelio’s.

I absolutely love the pizza here! I am not a fan of deep dish and I found their pizza to be amazing since it is more of a thick crust. Also I had their Cesar salad and that was pretty good too! Pizza is bomb though!

I really wanted to like Armand’s Pizza more than I did. We went in for dine in and everything started out great… we had a friendly greeting, seated quickly, and informed it was 2 for Tuesday (b1g1 on pizza). We opted to order a small thin and small pan pizza, and then things started turning for the worse. Service was VERY SLOW, and I’m not talking about the wait for the pizza. Slow on refills, slow on check, and slow on coming back with the bill after running it through the credit machine. I did alot of people watching and this seemed to be universal all around. What was more frustrating was there were 2 or 3 tables that came and ordered after us, and were done and paid for about 30 minutes before us. The pizza was okay, nothing that I would really crave or seek out again. Its possible I would order here again, but I would order it for take out due to the poor service. I would only get the pizza if it was on special like the Buy 1 Get 1 on Tuesday, definitely would NOT be worth it at full price.
I guess its back to looking for a good Dine-​In pizza place in the Rolling Meadows/​AH area…

Eh, this place was descent. I have been here numerous times and was surprised that I had not left a review prior. I really wanted to give this place a 3.5 stars but since there was not an option a 3 was too little so I opted for 4.
The Monday ½ off special is always a win for me. I can in thinking it was BOGO but that is on Tuesday. Get it, Two for Tuesday? The place was not overly busy but they still felt the need to clump everyone together in the lower left/​south of the dining room. Not worries. More the merrier right. I understand they did this to help out the lone waitress but a little elbow room is always appreciated. The service was ok. I felt really bad for the waitress. She literally was running around the whole time. She would take an order/​question then leave and come back. Repeatedly. A little bit more training and a little less rushing and she would had been better off.
Service ³⁄₅ stars.
Pizza: We got two pizza. A white pizza Carbonzala (I think) that comes in a Nova 10″ size. We asked if we could get the pizza in a 14″ and were told no. I said can we just add the toppings to a thin crust. The answer was again no. Not sure why. Made no sense. Just give us the toppings that we ask for. To her credit, she was busy and I think new, so poor management issue on this one. The red pizza was pan and tho we didn’t ask for thin I wish she would had asked. Red pizza was onions, mushrooms, green peppers, and pepperoni. It was good. The White pizza was a bit too garlicky and gave a few of us indigestion. Not terrible but no one likes to be burping.
Overall the pizza was good. For ½ off or BOGO its a good deal. I would not pay full price for there pizza. Service in the past has been better so I will give them a pass on the service last night.

This place is a meh. We have tried it several times and it is consistently meh.
1. Service — needs work. If you order take out food, the phone staff (which this places uses «phone girls» as their title — yikes) struggles to place your order, capture your name, and then give you the correct order upon arrival. Wait staff for dine in needs training. We had a group arrive one evening for drinks and they rolled their eyes and informed us the kitchen closed in an hour and 20 minutes. Because a group coming in well before you close for a glass of wine is going to kill your kitchen?
2. Food quality is meh. Better pizza at several local options. It is bland. Pizza nova options are better, if you can get the correct order placed.
3. Bar — wine and beer options okay, not very interesting. Service struggles with orders.
Overall, I would not highly recommend but if you are compelled to try it, order a pizza nova.

I’m not sure why Armand’s only has 3 stars, it’s the best pizza place I’ve tried in AH since moving here from Chicago. I’ve done pickup each time I’ve eaten there. It seems like many of the bad reviews are service related, but it’s a casual restaurant, I’m not sure what people are expecting. In terms of food, I’ve had thin crust pizza and tried the Novas as well. Both are great. I’m comparing it to the other two pizza places I’ve tried: Garibaldi’s & Wayne’s. Garibaldis is too saucy and doughy for my taste (and no thin crust option!). Wayne’s is good, but Armand’s definitely stood out as the best to me. If you don’t like too much dough or sauce, this place might be for you.

I’m no mathematician, but I do know that Armand’s = pure happiness.

This is the first time I have been to an Armand’s in the Chicago area (my friends and I used to frequent one while in college in DC). This location has a very nice and attentive staff. The wings were amazing! When the server asked my husband and I if we wanted mild or spicy (we couldn’t decide) he had the cook make them spicy q little less hot for us. It was perfect! The pizza was good as well.

The baked clams were not even edible. I threw them out. I don’t even know why they’d be on the menu.

Great pizza. They don’t deliver until 4:00. How does this place only have 3 stars?

They really need to change their pizza recipe. Cardboard crust and awful sauce. Waaaay too much oregano! That’s all you can taste. Other menu items are little better. I don’t recommend the pizza. Service is good.

Get the stuffed artichoke (garnish with a squeeze of lemon) and a pizza. You will not be disappointed. Good location with street parking. Good for families, friends or dates. Polite service.

Armands has been a favorite of ours since the mid-​1990s, when we lived in Elmwood Park. We moved to Arl. Hts. and were thrilled to hear that Armands was opening a restaurant there. We have been frequent visitors and big fans of the thin crust pizza with sausage and green peppers. We have hosted parties there in the party room and have always been satisfied with the food and service.
One recent snafu: I stopped there on a Wednesday night about a month ago. I volunteer on Wednesdays and often stop at Armands afterwards to get a pizza to bring home. This time, I stopped in at the usual time, 9:10 p.m. and was told I could not order a pizza since they had turned off the ovens. I know they are open until 10:00 p.m. so I was surprised and disappointed. I was going to sit at the bar for a few minutes and have a drink, when I was told that, no, they were closing. I asked why and was told that they had had a slow evening and decided to close. That just seemed weird to me — you just expect a restaurant to honor their posted hours.
While I was disappointed, it certainly won’t keep us from going back to Armands to enjoy their delicious pizza. If you go, try the Armands salad; it’s great. And Mondays, pizza is half price, a real bargain. Outdoor seating is available too.

I am not a big fan of this restaurant. There are only 2 – 3 items on the menu I like and then those are just average, except for their calamari. Service is usually slow. The only reason I come here is because my wife and sister in-​law like it. Wish the original Armand’s in Elmwood Park was still open. THEY had great food!
