Armand’s Pizzeria & Grille

Not the best kind of deep dish but it’s decent for its price. We tried the lunch buffet and I enjoyed the variation of pizzas– from regular to deep dish. And I personally loved the pesto cream pasta. So creamy! I would definitely go back!

Not impressed. Service was far from good. I rather go to Papa John’s and eat in my car.

Went for the lunch buffet with my mom. She says «I wasn’t impressed at all», «they weren’t that friendly». I used to go to the one on Seminary back in the 80’s which was fabulous. Thought I would try the one in Rockville. Sad… overcharged by $ 1.06 and buffet sucked. Pizza not appetizing at all. Pizza was cold, not much for choice. Armand’s used to be a legend in Mont. Co. not so much now. Come on people lets get it together and make the brand what it used to be.

I’m a Chicago transplant and am often hankering for some deep dish pizza. It’s the closest thing DC has to my hometown pizza. The location is well used but its clean and friendly. The owner is often there and welcomes people personally. The pizza is ready on time and tastes consistently yummy. My son loves kids movie night on Wednesdays where he gets to make his own pizza and watch a kids movie. Check it out.
P. S. Go Cubs.

Hugely helpful for a hockey team order. Not only was the pizza delicious, the management was totally sympathetic (and willing to help) when we decreased ½ our delivery order due to a traffic delay and loss of players. I couldn’t be more thankful for the restaurant providing the highlight of our season kickoff meal.

Nothing special.
Reasonably priced, but no better than a DiGiorno. The main issue is that the deep dish should be referred to as pan/​thick crust pizza… This isn’t anything like real deep dish from Chicago.
We ordered multiple toppings on both pizzas we tried (one thin, one thick) and there was a good amount of toppings on both.

I haven’t been here since like, 2013. Thats the last time I worked out here. Well now I’m back because I’m working out here again and didn’t hesitate to hit up the ol’ faithful spot. S/​O to Armand’s! Definitely in my top 5 pizzerias. The place is still clean and the professionalism remains top notch. Aight, thats enough info. Time to eat! Just come on out… you won’t be disappointed.

Great place. We did the buffet and the food was excellent. One tv was on sports and the other news which I find to be perfect. The music station was also great.
The service was superb.

Lunch buffet is worth it. Might have to butter the sides of your gut just to slide out of the front door afterwards.

Who doesn’t love an all-​you-​can-​eat pizza buffet, especially when kids are free on Tuesdays! The buffet is small but usually includes about 5 different types of pizza, pasta with alfredo sauce and marinara, and a salad bar. It’s not the best pizza around, but it’s definitely a million times better than cici’s! The crust is the star of the pizza for me. I am a sucker for deep dish. We have been here about 5 times and I’m sure will be back many more times.

This place feels like a Pizzeria, looks like a Pizzeria, and tastes like a Pizzeria. They have good food at a reasonable price. You really cant complain. I would have given them 5 stars but their delivery is wonky. Sometimes they say they deliver and sometimes they say they dont.
Pizza exceeded my expectations, the pasta is pretty darn good. They have cheap excellent sides and apps… except for the fries… they are often soggy.
I have ordered from here twice and have yet to be disappointed. If you are looking for no frills good quality food that is cheap, then this is your place.

Really amazing service and dip dish pizza! Totally recommend the chicken fajita and garlic bread!
The waitress was really nice and attentive.

Meh. Didn’t come in here with high expectations but the kid was yelling for pizza so I gave it a shot. Pizza by the slice made it easy and quick. The 2 year old got instant gratification. Pizza was average but not unexpected. My rating comes merely for lack of customer service.
As being my first time here, I was not sure if I was supposed to order first, sit down first, is there a waiter? I ended up ordering at the counter and the guy gave me my food. Went to sit down and realized that table service was there. I guess since I ordered at the counter that meant I would get zero eye contact and no interaction at all. No napkins, nothing. If the guy would have just stopped to check on me even once, I would have even left him a tip!

Service has always been excellent.
Really delicious deep-​dish, Chicago-​style pizza. Better than Uno’s, for example, in my opinion. Not terribly competitively priced but worth it.

Solid Chicago-​style pan pizza. You can get a combo with two one-​topping slices and a drink for less than $ 7 with tax, and you’ll definitely walk away full.
I wouldn’t come to Armand’s looking for true Chicago deep dish however; it’s not even close to the likes of Giordano’s or Lou Malnati’s. Still, it’s good.

Big improvement from last time.
Service was excellent. Deep dish was delish.
On Mondays any size one topping pizza dine in or carry out is 9.99 $. Got a large deep dish with banana peppers and it was so good!
Happy to report that the seats have all been redone. No more duct tape. Restrooms are super clean.
Minus one star because the girl with the pony tail just stared at us when we walked in. No «hello» or «take a seat anywhere». Only after I asked where we should sit did she say a word. Come on– how hard is it to greet your customers?
Going to try the lunch buffet soon as we got there too late today.

The lunch buffet is actually a pretty good deal. For about $ 8 you get as much pizza, salad, pasta, soup and breadsticks as you like. However, it can be pretty hit or miss with freshness, variety of toppings, and types of crust available. But if you’re lucky, there’s endless hot pizza to enjoy. I’m sure if there’s not much out, there’s more coming, but it all depends how long of a lunch you have.
The food is really good, and for just a few dollars more you get WAY better quality than you would at somewhere like Cici’s, but the idea is the same. There’s no dessert at the buffet (there is some fruit in the salad bar), but the cookies they sell are amazing. The chocolate chip cookies always chewy and full of melty chocolate.
The pizza to-​go is also a good option, if you don’t want that much food. If you’re getting 2 or more pieces though, you might as well opt for the buffet. I haven’t had their subs or garlic bread in years, but from what I remember they were great. The garlic bread was cheesy a little greasy, and just really good.
Parking can be a little tricky, but I usually find something.

Look, I’ve never been to Chicago and I must have been 15 the last time I ate a cheesesteak in Philly. Armand’s is all I have!
The cheesesteak is as good as I remember. It’s almost greaseless, the roll is toasted, and the sub is just the right size. Can’t beat it with a cherry Coke!
I haven’t eaten their pizza in a long time but the Original Chicago Combo was always my favorite fully loaded pizza of any restaurant. Trust, if I lived closer I’d be eating it a lot more. Plus, if you pick up your pizza you get an extra slice free for your ride home, hollaaaaa!

I rather like this place. Special Italian sub is really good with a little extra vinegar and hot peppers.
The steak and cheese is OK. Not loaded with meat or cheese but it is a decent size.
I prefer their thin crust pizza over the deep dish. Just a personal choice, don’t need that much bread.
Everything I’ve had here is pretty good. Not amazing, but worth a trip.
Sometimes there is a slightly longer wait then normal, but since they are making everything instead of just heating it up ill wait a few extra minutes.

It’s a little known (and probably untrue) fact that Rockville is the pizza capital of Maryland. One might think that would be College Park (with its roving bands of ravenous UMD students) or even Baltimore. But, no, it’s Rockville that has one pizza place per person. Or so it seems.
So when October’s National Pizza Month «holiday» beckoned, I did what any rational person would do when presented with such choices. I cowered and ate at the pie joint closest to my apartment.
But it’s a fine choice for any pizza lover. The false name aside, this is not Chicago-​style pizza since the cheese is on top and not baked in under the toppings, Armand’s will satisfy even the most pizza snobbish person. As far as deep dish goes, the rich, heartburn inducing tomato sauce and thick layer of cheese definitely hearkened me back to Rahm Emanuel’s fiefdom instead of Martin O’Malley’s.
A lot of places make deep dish, of course. But what separates Armand’s out is their daily specials. For example, hungry NFL lovers can buy any size pizza for $ 9.99 on Mondays to watch Monday Night Football with (and they show the game in store on their multiple television). The large I got on October 1^st was enough to last me, and fill me up, for dinner and the next day’s lunch.
About the only thing that bothered me was that, despite not being Chicago-​style pizza, it seemed to take the requisite (and health necessitated) 45 minutes to make. And the waitstaff seemed rather absent. While I know pizza’s a social activity, it’s definitely not a place to go for a quick pie. But, hey, there are hundreds (or thereabout) of those in Rockville.
