Arni’s

Arnis is our favorite for garlic teriyaki wings and pizza! Even after moving from the area, we love coming back to go to arnis!

Yeah… not good. I know the people from lafayette and Purdue think it is great, but that is because that is all they have. Not good, frozen Totino’s pizza is comparable.

Had dinner there ordered sandwiches! It was terrible. Had 2 pork tenderloins (they were frozen like the ones you would get from Kroger) and fries $ 9.99! NASTY!!! Had a Ruben sandwich (it was made from lunch meat) $ 9.99! NASTY!!!
Waitress was excellent!!!
WILL NOT GO BACK!!!

Apps good, bread and stuffed mushrooms. Server was a train wreck, our food sandwiches took 9ne hour. Manager would not make eye contact with tables. Do not eat here, please!

My old time favorite! I came back to town just to eat here. I got the fried tenderloin, tossed salad. Good was great! Got bread sticks.WOW.yummmmmmm.with that cheese sauce. It had just the right spice in that sauce. There were 5 of us. bill was $ 65 and some change. We shut the store down. last ones to leave. In my Arnold voice, «I’ll be back»

Great lunch specials. One piece, two toppings and three killer bread sticks. Out of the way for me but worth it when we are in the area. Within the $ 10 rule for lunch.
The Unknown Diner digs it.

Arni’s had been a favorite since I was a student at Purdue, so when the location on the north side of Indy opened years ago, I was super excited.
Their food is so much more than the pizza, which is delicious. They have great salads and sandwiches as well.
Great service and environment at this location.

Although a bit expensive for a pizza place, it is well worth it for the fresh ingredients and unique pizza options. The fried green beans are great too.

Arni. s is one of those places you never think of first, but then you go there and wonder why you don’t come more often.
It doesn’t look like much from the outside, and maybe that’s the problem. Very unassuming and low-​key. There’s a decent-​sized outdoor patio, but the view is of the parking lot and 86^th street.
The inside is immaculately clean, but pretty forgettable. Muted tans and browns dominate the space. Exposed concrete floor makes cleanup easy for the staff.
The one pop of color are the backlit orange frosted glass «windows» behind the bar. I thought they were orange for Halloween, but apparently they’re always that color.
They obviously do a lot of take-​out orders as there is a dedicated side entrance and pick-​up window/​register.
The pizzas are truly the stars here. Fairly-​priced and flavorful. They’re like the thin crust pizzas you grew up on. Arni’s even cuts them in squares instead of pie shapes.
Note: if you check in on Unilocal,you get $ 10 off any large pizza.

Arni’s is a great place. The food was great and service was quick and friendly. Love the deep fried pickle spears. If you haven’t stopped in and tried Arni’s I would recommend it highly.

Arni’s was essentially known as a west side classic. They’ve winced opened a location Northside of Indy. Service was pretty good, carryout is always perfect.
My picks: Get the Arni’s junior salad and garlic bread.
Consistently yummy! Homemade dressings make for excellent salad dipping.
Pizza’s are versatile and have awesome thin crust.
Try the wings too!

I’m definitely an Arni’s fan. From the funky looking, gotta touch’em walls, to the pretzel bun, to the pizza. Yum! the pizza: Chicken Bacon Ranch, all the way.
I enjoy taking new people with me, we inevitably have a good time, with good food, typically decent service, at a reasonable cost. Their Pasta Palooza makes me happy and who can ask for more than that?

Ate at Arni’s in Crawfordsville 6÷22÷2015
Horrible experience. We got the nachos with chili which is prepared in a microwave. Blah!
The a cold Stromboli XXBlah! The pizza was ok at best. Fresh crust with reheated toppings. I had to insist for a refund for the nachos and they informed me that is just the way that they make it. finally the cold Stromboli, they said they could microwave it for us. Over thirty dollars for food prepared in a microwave. We will never go back. I don’t see how they make it with this kind of food preparation. No stars…

Good thin crust pizza. We always get a half and half. One side the Maui Zowie. Ham, onions, pineapple, & BBQ sauce an the other side Meatball.
The Jr. Salad is a great starter and it comes with garlic bread. Be sure to check in with Unilocal to get a 14in pie for $ 10.
Belly up to the bar and get a Big Arnis brew.

This Arni’s location is close to my office. I like going here for a quick lunch. Lots of seating and a huge menu to choose from. This is the perfect place for those folks that prefer salad or pasta over pizza.
I love that they offer white and pesto pizza sauces as I am not a big fan of tomato bases. Today I had the pesto chicken. They didn’t skimp on the artichoke, pepper or mushroom toppings on my 7″! My normal pizza is the Thai… I love the fresh ingredients.
My only complaint today is that the server switched our cards during checkout and they had to be voided an ran again… so not the quickest lunch ever. It happens.
I will say that for some reason this spot is very popular with mom/​nannies with lots of kiddos. So if you want a really quiet lunch spot this may not be it.

It took a little bit of driving around to finally decide on a dinner spot this evening. I considered the new Bubba’s, but was irritated that all of their accessible parking spots were taken. I drove by Stacked Pickle, but just wasn’t in the mood for a sports bar atmosphere. Then, I spotted Arni’s. This Arni’s is one of nearly 20 Arni’s Restaurants in Indiana after having started in Lafayette, Indiana in 1965. This particular location actually relocated from 86^th & Michigan a few years back, but truth be told this is the first time I’ve actually been to this location.
Arni’s is mostly known for its pizza and has some fame for its burgers. They continue to be a family owned chain, now owned by two sons of the original owner. I was a big fan of the Arni’s at 86^th & Michigan Road, though I’ve had some mixed results at other Arni’s locations around the state. I’ve never had what I’d consider to be a «bad» experience, but there’s no question that some locations are simply better than others.
Things started off great here. As I was wheeling up to the door, an employee entering the building noticed me and intentionally waited upon my arrival. It was basic customer service, but it was much appreciated. As I was arriving in the early dinner hour on a Friday night, I figured things would be busy and they definitely were.
I was impressed by the hostess who had planned to take me to one table, but she quickly realized it could be a bad situation for the wheelchair. She changed course and got me into an appropriate 4-​top table that left me free to come and go as I might need. The restaurant is a tad on the smallish side and definitely packs in the tables.
My server was Eric. He was quick to take my drink order, the usual unsweetened iced tea. I was ready to order by the time he came back and went with a breaded tenderloin sandwich that comes with one side. I chose fries. The meal was $ 9.99 plus drink.
I have to be honest and say that I was fully expecting this Arni’s to be a solid four-​star restaurant. Quite simply, it wasn’t.
Arni’s never went above a 3-​star experience and very nearly dipped down to a two. The breaded tenderloin was incredibly disappointing, easily the worst part of the experience. It tasted like a frozen patty and had no distinct flavor at all, though it was of decent size and the meat itself was of a decent thickness. After one bite, I was feeling like I’d picked badly. The flavoring was inconsistent throughout the sandwich, and the bun itself was quite average. The fries were fairly typical fries — not quite shoestring, but of a thinner variety with a light seasoning.
It wasn’t a bad meal, but it wasn’t a good meal. I definitely won’t order it again.
The service? Eric was generally attentive, though he lost points for never offering a drink refill (which we know is a major faux pas in my world) and generally the service was right along the 3-​star range. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t make me want to rush back either. I did stick around a few extra minutes to finish reading, which gave the perfect opportunity for a drink refill. I also waited a few minutes for the check, though it wasn’t unreasonable.
The atmosphere is casual, the restaurant was rather loud but manageable, and the restaurant is definitely family friendly.
I could easily fall within the 2 – 3 star range here. While I’m tempted to go with two, the simple truth is that I was impressed with the initial experience, the hostess, and the food was decent. Eric was friendly and I definitely wouldn’t consider his service below average, so a 3-​star rating feels exactly right.
If I return, which would likely be a while given there are other restaurants in the area I’m anxious to try, I’d definitely try a different meal and maybe go at an off-​time to see how service is when it’s a tad slower.

I researched Arni’s before but my friend wanted to celebrate her birthday there. So I treated her to the difference of the cost of the «free» 7″ pizza (because of her birthday gift certificate) and the next size up pizza. There was a recent fire at their factory, and they still had not produced 7″ size pizza crust before her certificate expired. She and I felt that she should have just been awarded the next size pizza at no added cost.
I ate the Cajun chicken sandwich with onion strings in it. The waitress was afraid to substitute my mayo for mustard because it may be an extra cost. This should have been the red flag to not trust her advice on my side item. She recommended the seasoned (not salted) fries instead of the seasoned fruit of melons. I don’t know what she meant by seasoned because it sure did look salted to me.
Because the sandwich had so much stuff on it, I had to taste the chicken itself to discover that it was Cajun seasoned.
I don’t foresee returning. If I did, I don’t know what else I would try. My friend said their pizza taste like Pizza King but I love Pizza Hut.

The food here is good. I only had the chicken salad as a late lunch. The place wasnt crowded at all and the service was friendly.
The place is large and it seems like a popular place.

I’m a little torn on how to review Arni’s. I like it. I like it quite a bit. Yet, I’m not sure anything is outstanding enough to push it above a 3 star rating.
The décor is nice, but doesn’t wow me. Same with the food. It’s good. I like it. It’s a good, solid, meal for a reasonable price. But it’s not fantastic.
Service has seemed to be a bit hit or miss at times. It’s one of those places I’m happy to dine at if I’m in the area, but wouldn’t travel a great distance for it.

I’ve eaten at Arni’s for over 20 years when I visit Indy, starting with the location on 86^th Street which I heard is closed. I walked into this location, and I was impressed. The atmosphere is almost a dress-​up or dress-​down kind of place. Other diners ranged from couples eating quiet suppers to the side and a large table of little leaguers celebrating a win… or a loss. Couldn’t tell, ’cause everyone seemed happy they were at… Arni’s.
We started with a chicken quesadilla appetizer – six slices served piping hot with cool salsa and sour cream. It was a nice start. Next up was a 14″ deluxe pizza – the dough was great, and the ingredients fresh and tasty; even though they were baked, the onion and green pepper were still crispy. The pebbly sausage smothering the whole pie was different, but this ensured beef was spread out evenly over the top.
Thank you Arni’s and Unilocal for the great $ 10 check-​in pizza deal.
