Note, we only had take out, so can only comment on that! Some of the best pizza I've had in the New York New Jersey area. Especially have the Margharita! The fresh cheese is soooo worth it! They recommended the mushroom, sausage, truffle oil one as well, and it was good, though not as good. The prices seemed expensive at first, but a large pizza is easily enough for two people, and the place is local and eco friendly, so the price is worth it. From the little interaction I had with the workers, they were so friendly, and the place looked nice from just briefly walking in. In conclusion, SUCH. GOOD. PIZZA. read more

Being a huge fan of razza in jersey city I had to try out their sister restaurant Arturo's! It did not disappoint. Arturo's is located in maplewood on the cutest street, it is a clean and welcoming restaurant with great friendly service. The pizzas on the menu were slightly different with the option for individual size or large. There were a few of my favorite pies from razza missing from the menu however it was nice to see that you could add toppings a la carte which is not a feature at Razza. Arturo's has a full pasta menu which I regret not trying but I will just need to go back! I had a mushroom pizza which was yummy, my mom had the white pizza which was good but a bit too bland for me. My dad had the margarita to which he added anchovies and mushrooms! We were all very pleased! Highly recommend!! We will be back! read more

I hate to commit myself to ever saying "this is my favorite ever," but I have to come awfully close to saying this is my favorite pizza ever. It pains me to say this so soon after giving Lucali a stellar review. I still think the calzone there was second to none. In any event, this place is a tiny corner building in downtown Maplewood. You can actually part on the street here. Like Lucali, it is BYOB, but they have pop here. The pizza was truly delectable. The crust was both chewy and crisp... and full of air bubbles that I like from my childhood eating hillbilly pizza in Indiana (it's a real thing, see, e.g., Pizza King). The cheese here was also super gooey...so even though there wasn't much of it on the pizza, a little went a long way. I had the "santo" which had caramelized onions and fennel sausage. The sausage was super juicy and flavorful, and the seasoning really put this pizza over the top. I would go out of my way to come back here again. read more

The best pizza in the entire world. I always get sautéed greens. My fave are the mustard greens sprinkled with Parmesan. The beet salad. Prefer the winter version with lettuce under it. And the santo pizza. The santo has chili oil, sausage and onions. It's so good. The side salad is really fresh. The Cesar salad is the only disappointment, but I forgive them. Cesar salad really isn't Italian. Also, I had once a mediocre soup. It was more like a tomato based gruel. But, again, I forgive you Arturo's cause your pizza is soo good. It's byob. And, super cheap for the quality. I've had a few of their pastas. My fave is sort of a light and creamy sausage based tagliatelle. A-mazing! read more

We stumbled upon Arturo's because French Gypsy Guitarist, Stephane Wrembel was playing here. Who knew that this would turn out to be my favorite brick-oven pizza place in North Jersey, hands down. The pasta dishes are prepared perfectly and well portioned to share for 2. The stand out pasta dish for me is Pasta Cinghiale (wild boar ragu and mushrooms). The brick oven - Arturo's Margherita is made with hand-made mozzarella and all other ingredients are all freshly made daily. Dan, the owner, will visit your table at least once a night. And if you start up a conversation about his perfection of pizza doe making, he will leave you with plenty of good information. He is very informative, descriptive, and passionate about his food. read more

Very good farm to fork pizzeria and Italian restaurant. My only complaint is that there is always a line, even for lunch. I realize everyone thinks this place is great (as I do) but perhaps expand into the place next door to offer a better solution. They do not take reservations which is also a problem, especially when you come with older parents or young children. Very friendly staff, plenty of parking in Maplewood Village. In addition to their many pizza choices which they are known for, Arturo's has a fantastic selection of pastas and entrees and farm-to-fork fresh salads. Love this place! read more

Update - since my first review I've been to Arturo's approx 20 times. The pizza at Arturros is easily the best in Northern NJ and might be in the top 5 if it was in NYC. This pizza is better reheated 24hrs later than most other pizzas fresh out of the oven. Now for the food - every restaurant owner who owns a so called "Italian" restaurant in NJ should go here and decide if what they serve is truely Italian. This place tastes like Italy, where the ingredients are the stars. The wild boar pasta is amazing and is right up there with anything I have eaten at Mario Batali's restaurants. These brothers may be the next superstar chefs- if this place was in NYC you would never get in. Thankfully its in Maplewood and off the radar - for now!! read more

This place gets better and better. Dan and Fred really know what they're doing. The pizzas are AMAZING, as is the homemade bread. Don't miss the crostini w/ fresh ricotta, scary good. Polpette (meatballs) are light and fluffy with a great sauce and the ceci salad is to die for. I love this place, wish everyone else didn't, so we could get in more often! read more

Great pizzas and salads. Week night wait line is at least 30-45 mins. This place is BYOB and they hand out wine glasses so you can drink while you wait for a table. So that's pretty cool. Friendly customer service. They usually have great dinner specials. So make sure you ask for them. read more

our favorite restaurant. Absolutely delicious farm to table food and the best pizza anywhere. Be lost without them.

Best Italian in the area hands down! Ask anyone- if they don't say Arturo's they have bad taste! Seriously though- I don't even really like Italian food, and I love Arturo's! read more

My high school friends and I try to meet up around the holidays when people are back in town visiting family so I suggested we try Arturo's and emailed them the Yelp! link so they could decide. My friend Jon wrote back, "Well, if Richard S. says it's the best pizza he's ever had in his life, then we GOTS to go!" That made me laugh. Arturo's is a great, quiet lil spot with a friendly young staff. My friends weren't used to BYOBs so it shocked them a little. I adore BYOBs because it brings down the cost of meals and encourages increased booziness levels which usually leads to people saying a lot of strange-ass things, which I love. Arturo's is really like many wood-fired pizzerias that have been popping up all over Philly. But why this place is such a gem in Maplewood is because it uses local ingredients and there are a lot of inventive and interesting items on the menu alongside your go-to favorites. read more

Best pizza this side of Naples. Not kidding. Expand please. More tables per favore. Also, ricotta app is bananas.

Love this place. The food is amazing. The service is great. There's really not much else to say. Order anything and it's delicious. Well - I've never had the pasta, but the salads, pizza, the daily greens - always wonderful. PS - BYOB. And there's a great wine store just up the road. Put your name on the list, go pick up some vino, and your seat will be ready a little after you get back. read more

You can't go wrong with Arturos. My all time favorite restaurant whenever I escape the big apple for some quiet time in jersey. It's a small restaurant with some shared tables at times but a nice friendly environment. Specials are written in chalk on the walls, there wooden tables and benches. Best is that it's BYOB! The pizza here is one of my favorites, and the mushroom ravioli is always a must. It gets very busy at nights and on weekend so come early to make a reservation and enjoy the streets of maplewood while you wait! read more

Oh Arturo's, how I love thee, let me count the ways.. I've been a die-hard fan for the last 6 years - even when I lived 20 miles away, we were regulars. Yes, you've got to wait an insane amount of time if you get here even a minute after rush hour starts - but good service and great food are a crowd pleaser. And this place has both. I'm now living one town over - my husband jokes we moved here for Arturo's but little does he know that's true! :) Love the fact that their menu changes with the seasons and what's growing locally. Their service is always amazing - warm and friendly even when they're packed and at their busiest. And the best part is that it's family friendly. My little guy has been coming here since he was a few months old and there are plenty of kids of all ages on any given night. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic date night, this is not the place. If your date loves great food and local vibe then get here before 6:15pm! read more

I have eaten here once, and have gotten take out from here as well. As someone who is not usually a huge pizza fan, I can say that this is one of the pizza places that I will go to happily. The Santo pizza is especially memorable with the addition of the chili oil on top. A friend ordered the Cinghiale pasta and it was DELICIOUS! I would definitely consider ordering that the next time I go. I did find all of the food to be slightly under-seasoned, but when I added a touch of salt it really brought all of the flavors out. One thing to note is that they do not take reservations, and the lines for a table can be very long. I recommend take-out if you don't want to wait in a long line. read more

Okay, totally worth the hour wait on a Friday night. The pasta was good- even really good. The pizza on the other hand, was phenomenal. Ordered the special of the night which had squash, ricotta, and garlic. It was seriously beyond great- both of us agreeing that it was one of the better pizzas we've had in North Jersey. The service was good, attentive but not all over us. Definitely will be back. read more

pizza is DANK. had their sausage and mushroom pizza as well as the pesto and tomato one (forget the exact names) and they were both amazing. I'm a big crust guy and this was some of the best crust I've ever had, big, chewy and soft. wish there was some dipping sauce or oil for the crust. went on a wednesday afternoon for lunch and there was no wait, service was great. highly recommend checking it out. not cheap for a pizza place, but not overpriced for how fresh and organic the food is. read more

've been to Italy and lived part of my life in Manhattan. Hands-down the best pizza within a 10-20 mile radius. The huge wood burning oven is not there by chance. ;) They have plenty of other dishes that are just spot on as well. Go right when it opens to guarantee a seat. If you have a hankering for some Italian, this is the spot. read more

Expect to wait for a good 45min to get seated. We walked around (there's a bookstore across the street) and time went by quickly! The service was great (BYOB- if you forget your bottle at home, there's a liquor store up the block!) and the food was really good! I was 39 weeks pregnant when I went and felt awkward going to their restroom since you have to go through the area where they work. I felt like I was being inconvenient; even though the staff seemed to not mind at all, and are used to this. Looking forward for my return! read more

Arturo's is soo good. The pizza is perfect. The homemade ricotta drizzled with olive oil served on top of their warm crusty bread - seriously I came back for it a few days later but it wasn't on the specials that day (heartbreak). And the meatballs! I never would have known, (because I make pretty damn good meatballs myself so I don't usually order them out because they are usually a soggy dense mess) but my son ordered them and you can tell right away that they look good, and so I took a bite, then another, then placed another order just for me. Everything's been good. I hope it stays that way! YUMMM read more

I love everything about living in California except for the lack of good pizza. We try to go to Arturo's every time we come back east - it is the gold standard for pizza - chewy crust, crispy bottom, oozy cheese. If you are lucky, they'll have the maple bacon pizza - do not be skeptical, it is subtle on the syrup and strong on the smoky bacon. The pasta cenghiale (with wild boar) is to-die-for. Be prepared to wait but it's well worth it. Nice wine shop across the street for BYOB. read more

I had a pepperoni pizza It was really good not old school classic pizza l,new schools type stuff nice environment cool atmosphere friendly staff, I can definitely recommend If you're a pizza lover read more

Best pizza around if you're looking for that fresh out of the wood oven light char vibe.

Seems to be a hidden gem that mostly locals know about. Honestly some of the best pizza I've had. LOVE their salads too. The menu and selection is thoughtful, delightful, and locally sourced. Do yourself a favor and visit - either take it to go or fight for a seat/parking around meal times. read more

I went into this place with high expectations. The town seems very fond of this place. I went when it first reopened, and I was pretty disappointed with the pasta. I gave them a second chance recently with a friend. The soup was ok, but bland. It lacked spice, heat, or anything of the like. I had to ask a server for hot sauce of chilli oil or something to liven up the food. Same with the pizza. The crust wasn't anything to write home about. The ingredients were good, but overall I found it chewy. read more

If you're around for the seasonal jersey corn pie, you won't be disappointed. And always order the crostini!

It's been nearly 1 year since my wife and I moved from New Jersey back to Massachusetts, and not a single day has gone by that we haven't missed taking a big bite of Arturo's delicious pizza, meatballs and salads! Every meal started the same way, we would always order the famous Polpette Al Forno (meatballs), the Crostini and their special farm salad of the day. The meatballs are so tender and flavorful. We would always save the extra sauce from the meatballs to dip our pizza crusts, because nothing compares to their fresh & sweet Jersey tomato sauce. The Crostini featured their homemade ricotta cheese which was finished with the most amazing sea salt to make for the perfect bite. All of the salads were great and showcased local produce. I would highly recommend the margarita pizza with truffle oil. The crust was thin and crispy yet somehow managed to be chewy. It was simply incredible! All of the pasta dishes are delicious as well and can't be beat. Everything on the menu was a hit. The wait staff was really friendly and always took the time to make our weekly visits memorable. read more

I am not aware of any pizza that even approaches the quality of the pizza at Arturo's anywhere remotely near here. Fantastic food, good people. Please allow bringing a small birthday cake for celebrating though! read more

On our drive back from NYC, we stopped here for dinner last night. We had the special(pepper and sausage) and the Bianco. Pizzas were descent nothing to go crazy about. I liked the decor. Service was great but food was just ok. I was super hungry and still wasn't blown away, so 3 star for the food. If I could separate it I'd give 4 stars for the service. Our waitress was super sweet. read more

Excellent pizza and pastas. The bread with ricotta appetizer is to die for! Arrive early and expect a wait. Would be a 5 star review except for the salads. They never have enough of the "good bits." Mostly lettuce and maybe 2-3 small shavings of cheese or 2-3 small pieces of prosciutto (for example) read more

This is hands down the best pizza I've had in the US. We love the pizza (they have incredible seasonal pizzas that are always delicious) and pastas. The line can be very long so go early or expect to wait for a long time for a table. read more

We were visiting a friend in Maplewood, NJ for the day. Stepping off the train, breakfast suddenly seemed like it was long, long ago and we realized we were famished. Our friend, having a long hike in mind, took pity on us and fed us first. Yay! We were seated quickly and our server immediately let us know about the various specials available. Looking around, it seemed the place was busy considering it was the middle of the afternoon (not peak lunch time) and a Monday. That usually means great food, and we weren't disappointed. I ordered the pasta dish with a wild boar ragu and mushrooms and was so delighted with the flavor that I had to force myself not to eat the entire thing. Our service was impeccable and I'd highly recommend Arturo's if you ever find yourself in Maplewood. read more

Today was our first time ordering pizza from this place and it was the worth pizza ever for me. We were so upset by the quality, nothing I can even call "pizza". It was simply a dough, a little souse on top a little cheese, some parts of pizza were not even covered with souse, such a small amount they put on it. Still upset read more

Incredible food and even better service. Been coming here since we moved to New Jersey, hands down the best pizza in the area.

Undoubtedly, one of my favorite pizza places! The crust always comes out perfectly crispy and charred. The Tartufi pizza with white truffle oil is undoubtedly a winner! I'm not a big fan of sausage and usually have them sub pepperoni instead...my mouth is already starting to water... Next try the wile mushroom ravioli - this is the pasta to beat on the menu. It's silky smooth with a nice lingering taste in your mouth. One more thing before I forget, try the beet salad! It's a great way to start a meal! This review is already making me hungry! I'll probably have to pay 'em a visit tomorrow! Note: the only negative is that the restaurant is teeny-tiny and usually has a long wait during prime time hours. So, maybe opt for takeout instead. read more
