Review Arturo's - New York City

Stephen MarLett

Walking around Manhattan and stumbled across Arturo's at 9:45 on a Thursday night. Walked in and figured there wasn't going to be any room but I was pleasantly surprised that a booth was open. Sam our server was a ball of positivity!! I asked her what her go to was and ordered it up. Pepperoni pizza, and penne with vodka sauce. We had the booth that was closest to the band, and the kitchen where I could watch my pizza being tossed into one of the remaining coal fired ovens in NYC!!! Read that again One of the LAST coal fired pizza ovens!!! This right here made my heart flutter, I shed a tiny tear in awe of this oven. I knew this flavor was going to be unlike any other I have ever had in the city. I got my pasta first. This enormous bowl of carb happiness was just the tip of the iceberg. After the first bite I immediately tried to figure out how I could funnel this entire bowl into my face hole. Yes it was that delicious!! About 5 minutes had passed of me shoveling this delicious bowl of carbohydrates and delicious vodka sauce when my pepperoni pizza came out of the coal-fired oven. This pizza was a thing of beauty. If Mona Lisa had a paint brush, she would paint this pizza and hang it on her wall. When Sam came back over to the table and asked if I liked everything I couldn't even speak. I just looked up at her with my tiny tear on my cheek and she knew. Oh yeah she knew. Thank you to everyone at Arturo's you are a staple. You are a landmark. You are the pinnacle of Mount Pizza with that coal-fired oven and that deliciousness. And thank you very much for your hospitality.

Cozy location and great vibes. We sat down and about 15 later a piano player arrived to give live music! The service was great as well and we got 2 pizza's with both being wonderful. Fun part was the restroom which this place must have been a residence at some point as there was a full bathtub/showed in the restroom. hahahahaha gave us a chuckle. Loved the chalk board to leave messages.

This place is like a time warp to the 70's. Definitely old school, but that's part of its charm. I think this may be the best coal fired pizza in the city, hands down. Great staff and the food is fantastic. I often have their regular large pie or the margarita pie, they are both great! They also have great Italian food . Take the 6 train to Blecker, walk a couple of blocks and mangiare!!

We happened upon this little gem on the last night of our NY stay. Wish we had found it earlier. What a way to end our holiday?!? Amazing pizza, amazing atmosphere. Really loved it. Next time we are in New York, we will be back (and will also recommend to anyone else I know who will be travelling here). Thank you to all for being so brilliant!

Our reviews had over 37 million views last year. We do not get paid we just love to eat and have fun. We really love Arturo's. We love coal oven pizza because it cooks at a temp higher than wood oven pizza. This makes the crust very dry and very thin which makes it taste great with a good sauce and cheeses. Pizzas are big and yummy. Meatballs are great and so was the pasta. Great place, fast and easy to get a table most times. Make a reservation to be sure. Weekends and some weekdays they have a person playing piano which is nice. The back room is quieter if you want that but we like the noise. Check out all of our reviews. If we do not like it we do no review it so all of the ones you see are places that are fantastic. Follow us if you like. We had over 36 million views so far this year and we thank you for that. We don't get paid, we just love to eat. Be sure to click on "RobH" at the top of this review to see all of them and to follow us if you like good food and FUN. If we do a review it is because we love it.

A true NY original. One of the few remaining old style restaurants to have a carafe of red and salad and pasta with your crispy coal oven pizza. With cool jazz combos jamming in the bar. Warm and cozy. One of my all time favorite spots in the city.

If you are looking for a genuine New York experience, that has actually been there for a long time and still is amazing, you have found it. Sitting on Houston Street is this amazing establishment, serving pizza, and other Italian specialties. They have great food, but making it even better as wonderful service, and at least the night we were there they had live music as well.

Relatively great priced. I nice local scene and great spot to go to if dining solo. I ran into an old-time regular there, and I’ll write his recommendations down here since he still uses a dumb phone. I got the meatballs which were great, but the local who has visited the spot for 60 years recommends the coal fire pizza. But more importantly, he recommends to get the steak sandwich with the bread on the side because of the way it cooks in the coal oven, it’s unlike anything else you can get in the city. I’ll definitely be back sometime soon to check out his recommendations and even maybe run into him again.

Lovely place in Soho. We had the most delicious pepperoni pizza - even the crust was delicious. The atmosphere was amazing - they had live music. We didn’t book a table for 2 on a Saturday night and only had to wait 20 minutes. We just sat in the bar across the road and had a drink.

I had the small sausage pizza and it was fantastic. Also it was huge, the small was big enough for 2 people.
