The food was amazing and the service was great! Very good environment and lighting, and they also have a bar. It is a little pricey but you get what you pay for. The only downside of this restaurant is the selection of drinks is slim to none, but I have absolutely no other complaints! read more

I was referred here by a friend. Excellent recommendation!!! They have thin crusts and thicker crusts. There are about 15 different kinds if pizza's available. They are sold by the slice. Pepperoni and pepper rings was my favorite. My first time trying pickle pizza, it's surprisingly good! Slices are HUGE. Highly recommend!!! read more

Great place, good space, with great people running it. Got a slice with pickles (had to try it) and now I'm hooked. This was my one stop for food in Columbus an it left à great impression. Can't wait to come back. read more

They closed for all of Memorial Day weekend, but there online order system did not update the hours, so you could still place pickup orders. Very frustrating to get an email 20 minutes after you place an order, telling you they're closed for the day. Basic business 101 don't over promise and under deliver. read more

Love the service , fast friendly with take out. Had all the utensils needed . The food was good. The pizza was strong and close to an East Coast pizza. The garlic knots are huge and could feed everyone with just them. The pep and sausage pizza was really good. read more

Aracri Pizzeria - Sausage and pep - Pizza Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Have had a grab and go slice before, but stopped in to grab a pie and salad after OSU game. Great little pizza shop in downtown Columbus. You can eat in or get carry out. There is ample seating throughout with TVs to watch various games. They have a really nice beer selection and also offer cocktails. They also offer "slice" deals for lunch if you work downtown and want a reasonable lunch. Got a 12" pie with pepperoni and mushroom. The fresh mushrooms were amazing on the pizza. There was also a generous portion of cheese, but not a lot of sauce (which is fine with me). The crust also had a great flavor. Service was very good. Pizza was ready quickly and the staff was very pleasant and polite. I will definitely be back as they are a great pizza alternative to the CBus staples we all get tired of eating. read more

A friend who lives in Columbus told me I must try and review this pizza. We were NOT disappointed. Atmosphere: We drove all the way from Canton and was able to walk in and get our pizza that we ordered ahead about 5-10 minutes before they closed (they closed an hour early for Easter). So I didn't get to look around much on the inside but the street view is very nice. They seem to be on a busy road, they are very inviting from the street and had a warm, welcoming ambiance. The young woman working the cash register (and I believe she is the same woman who took our order) was a delight. She was very nice, asked us what brought us to try their pizza and where were from. There was also a gentleman there who was very friendly as well and had good conversation. Food: While standing at the counter chatting with the two workers, I could smell the fresh mushrooms through the box. I knew that these mushrooms were going to be phenomenal. We got back to our hotel, opened the box and started salivating immediately. It was perfectly cooked, the crust was airy, had a good mouthfeel to it and the toppings were second to none. Overall: Anytime we come to Columbus this will hands down be our late night pizza fix. The pizza was delicious and the staff was just so friendly and you really don't get quality food AND service often anymore. That means a lot to me from a business. read more

10/10 experience! First of all, the double mushroom pizza was perfection! Perfect amt of mushroom, deliciously fresh mushroom. Will 100% be ordering this pizza again! Highly recommend. The cheese bread was also amazing! We went with a huge group (there were 11 kids and 10 adults) and the staff were so kind, patient, and accommodating. It was overall, such a great, fun, relaxing evening. There's a big long table in the front of the restaurant, lots of bar seating and more smaller tables in the back. read more

It was my first time since the name changed from Cafe Napolitana to Aracri Pizzeria on Gay when they moved from High Street. I was not disappointed because it is still the same set with counter service at lunchtime and table service at dinnertime. Dee and Palmo Aracri are still the owners with most of the same staff that are great people. I had 2 New York style slices of Sausage and Pepperoni and washed it down with Diet RC. Diet RC is still mostly sold in the South and great cola that was different taste than Coca-Cola and Pepsi. It is still like I remembered when it was Cafe Napolitana when it was on High Street. My friends shared the Garlic Knots with marinara sauce and bruschetta. The Ambiance has an Italian feel. I will have to go back to Aracri Pizzeria on Gay for dinner soon. Great food, people, and service at Aracri Pizzeria on Gay Street. read more

The food is great, but they need to put more than salt and pepper on the tables to season your food. GARLIC POWDER & OREGANO please. read more

Cute pizza shop. Locally owned!!! Pronounced "ah-ROC-ree. The staff is great. Service is quick. They often also sell pizza by the slice. The slices are a good size--light and crispy.. which is hard to achieve. I recommend the mushroom if you like mushrooms. Delicioso! read more

Great pizza! Has the pep and mushroom. Excellent crust and cooked to my perfection. Delicious.

I would have rated this place higher but was very disappointed by the service we received when my husband and I went a couple months back. Before I get into that, I will say that the quality of their ingredients is very good, however their sauce has an extremely bitter taste to me (almost like burnt herbs) and this overpowered everything we tried. We ordered the meatballs and garlic knots, a pizza and the rigatoni bolognese. Had it not been for the sauce, I would have liked all 3. What upset me the most though was that I had a Foodie Card coupon for $10 off if we spent $40, which didn't expire til the end of the year. That was partly why we tried 3 different dishes. The waiter had us waiting for around 10-15 extra minutes while he fumbled at the register, just to come back and tell us that he didn't know how to enter it in the system and we'd have to use it another time. Well, there won't be another time. I thought that was pretty bad business. read more

Came in after hearing from many friends how amazing this pizzeria was. I was welcomed with the best customer service that left me feeling like family! Then comes the food, the pizza was loaded with toppings yet kept crispy! The calzone was incredibly cheesy and my favorite! read more

Hands down the best 'za in downtown Cbus. This family owned biz has been in operation since '92 and one taste of their food will tell you why! read more

Service: Excellent Wanted to try something new before a show at the Palace Theatre. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our dinner. Food: Excellent We went wanting by the slice NY style, but they only serve that during lunch. We ordered a salad and pizza to share. The Italian salad was huge and packed with meat - they didn't skimp on this! The pizza was thin crust but not too thin and was cooked perfectly. I love being able to see the kitchen. Ambiance: Great It's a smallish place but has plenty of seating if you want to find in. Much atmosphere, good music, and clean. You need to check out this place if you're going to a show downtown and want something walkable that won't break the bank. read more

I've been eating pizza here almost every week for about 8 months. The pizza is excellent, the beer selection is good, the music is just what I prefer, and it's family owned. If you're downtown and eating pizza anywhere else, you're just wrong. The people here are good and they provide the right tempo of service, not overbearing, but attentive enough. read more

The dough on the pizza was pretty under cooked. Staff is not very knowledgeable of menu items. Decor is ok.

Hands down best pizza in downtown Columbus,Ohio. We had a pepperoni and mushroom pizza and the BBQ chicken pizza. We highly recommend

Very solid pie! A little disappointed that they put mushrooms instead of sausage on my pick up order, but they were easy to pick off and the pizza wasn't ruined by it. Staff was nice and the vibe was on point. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be going back (with a double check on the toppings, haha) read more

Was in Columbus staying at the Renaissance downtown which was a very short walk from Aracri. My daughter and I decided to give it a try. So glad we did because the food was amazing! I had the meatball sandwich (so big I saved half for the next day) and my daughter had the cheese pizza. The dough and sauce were amazing. Again, too much for one serving. Do yourself a favor and give this family-owned restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

You will not be disappointed with their pizza or calzones. I ordered the extra sauce extra cheese pizza and it asamaxin. The crust is NY style which means it can hold up to the toppings and and still be floppy enough to be chewy and flavorful. I wish they offered delivery but for this amazing pizza I'm willing to jump in the car and pick it up. read more

The garlic knots alone are worth the trip, but we enjoyed every bite of our pizza, too! Friendly service, great atmosphere. So good! read more

Waited 20 minutes with only 6 other customers in the restaurant without getting any service. Avoid this place if you want good service

recently tried the Garlic Notes & a Pizza topped with pepperoni and banana peppers, and it did not disappoint! The garlic flavor was bold but perfectly balanced, giving the pizza a unique, savory kick. The pepperoni was crispy and flavorful, while the banana peppers added just the right amount of tangy heat to every bite. The crust was the perfect mix of crispy and chewy, and the overall flavor combination was spot on. What really made the experience special was the amazing staff. They were friendly, attentive, and made sure our visit was top-notch. It's rare to find such a great combination of food and service--definitely a place I'll be coming back to! Steven and Veronica are amazing!!! read more

Really good New York style pizza in the heart of downtown. White pizza was delicious with a lot of flavor. Got the meatballs and garlic knots because I wanted to try the marinara sauce since I got a white pizza. Meatballs were OK sauce was eh. Really hope it's not the same sauce on their pizzas. The garlic knots were pretty delicious though. Would get again read more
