The best thing this place does is a very basic pizza. Stay away from trying to design a vegetarian option. Stay away from all other items on the menu. I ordered a stromboli and the sausage sandwich last night and had to throw them both away after the first bite of rancid meat.
Cheese pizza? Great. Pepperoni pizza? Great. Pizza knot? Great. Everything else, ick. Last year the board of health closed down the place but they were able to clean it enough to earn a "B" grade. -

Not sure why people are claiming this to be the best in the Bronx. Its not even the best in the area. It was dirty, but that doesn't surprise or bother me. Its in a great location right over the bridge, but its mediocre at best.
The crust doesn't have any flavor to it. They cook it on a screen which takes away a lot of the crispness it might have if they cooked it on te oven floor. The cheese is overwhelming and below average. The sauce was too sweet and overspiced. I thought about giving this 2 stars, but this things was just nasty, let alone a noteworthy slice joint. -

Their House Pies are probably on my top five list of best pizzas in New York
Lombardis is on that list as well.. -

THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD.
I've been in love with this pizza ever since I moved to Marble Hill (about 4 years ago) and I eat it at the unhealthy but disturbingly satisfying rate of about once a week.
I think the magic in the dough-- Arturo's dough has this... FLAVOR. When slightly crispy and soaked with a hint of pepperoni grease, it is AMAZING.
The slices are gigantic, and delivery is prompt and friendly (though I literally live up the street from them-- so my experience may be biased).
The beef patties with pepperoni and cheese are slammin as well. So are the fries. And cheap!
The staff consists of several, uh, interesting characters and the place is filthy but really, eat the amazing pizza, who cares?!?! -

Pizza was good and zucchini sticks. Mozzerella sticks were horrible. The Delivery time was ok. I will definitely try it again.

Inexpensive, delicious pizza delivered piping hot to Inwood.
I love this pie. I spent months looking for a good pie delivery in Inwood, and I was either disappointed in the pizza (Pizza Haven) or dissatisfied with the price & staff (Grandpa's).
Arturo's pizza is pretty much what I think good pizza should be: thin but not crispy crust, good sauce and loads of cheese. Every time we put in an order, the pizza shows up too hot to eat in less than half an hour... plus they'll give you a free two liter soda with two pies and free zeppole with an order over $30. If you dig white pie, their's is the best I've had in a while.
On the down side, the place is not great to go and sit down to eat in... but hey, they deliver! -

Arturo's is 20 steps from my apartment (right next to the downtown entrance of the 225th St. 1 train). You may find yourself shopping at our local Target one afternoon and craving some quality 'za, in which case, Arturo's slices will hit the spot. It's a tiny restaurant with about five booths (we usually just pick up our food), but the pizza is not bad at all. Occasionally I find the dough slightly undercooked, but I guess that's a matter of personal preference.
Admittedly, Arturo's doesn't hold a candle to Broadway Joe's or any place on Arthrur Ave., but it definitely gets the job done (I've served it to out-of-towners to give them a fair taste of "real NY pizza"). Arturo himself is a bit of a flirt but he's totally harmless and just adds some character to the joint. Jordan H. is also right about the freebies when you place a large order, which are nice bonuses to this quality local pizza place. And I occasionally stop by here on the way home from work to get some fresh-made warm garlic bread to go with dinner...yum!Listed in: A Bronx Tale

Wandered in on a recommendation from neighbors. The place is pretty dingy: points off for the fly that was hanging out on a pile of garlic knots and the small cockroach that wandered across the floor of the back room. On the other hand, the guy at the register was pretty careful about actually not handling money with the hand that had the glove on it, so they appear to at least somewhat care about cleanliness and food safety and so on.
My partner got two big slices of pizza loaded with toppings and we noshed on them while we waited for my lasagna. Eventually we were called up to the counter to receive one of those round metal take-out tins FULL of lasagna and sauce and mozzarella. "How much was that?" my partner asked wonderingly. "Nine dollars," I said, my mouth already full. We agreed that it could easily be two people's dinner.
It was difficult to navigate the oceans of sauce and slippery noodles and crumbly meat and gooey cheese with the little plastic fork and knife. After managing to eat about 10% of the lasagna, we got a plastic lid for the tin and took it home. I opened it up... and the lasagna had expanded to fill the space available. You totally could not tell that some of it had already been consumed. The sauce and cheese just flowed in to fill the gap. The lasagna seemed to stare up at me, perhaps defiant of my ridiculous expectation that food once eaten would stay eaten, perhaps pondering its plans to take over the world.
I have now, at my best guess, eaten 30% of the lasagna's original mass. The rest goes into the fridge to be tomorrow's lunch for both of us. I fully expect it to grow back overnight: the Chicken Little of lasagnas. We have to be sure to consume it entirely tomorrow. I am tempted to leave behind just enough to regenerate--who wouldn't want to eat their lasagna and have it too?--but I realize that in truth we are the only ones standing between the lasagna and its scheme to become a non-Euclidean, galaxy-spanning mass of garlicky tastiness. Let it not be said that I shirked my responsibilities to humankind. -

So far this is our favorite Inwood pizza. We like it better than Grandpa's, which doesn't live up to the hype and isn't worth the cost and wait.
Arturo's is quick, friendly, and makes very good classic New York pizza. The slices are foldable with just the right amount of chew. The edge is crispy and delivers great flavor. The sauce is good, the cheese is real. -

I live less than 10 mins away from this place by car...why does it take over an hour for them to deliver my food everytime. It' s never hot. fries are always soggy. this last time topped it for me though. I had to take part my cheesesteak to warm it up in the microwave and i'm waiting on the soggy fries they forgot. I won't complain to them because it's my fault from ordering from them more than once.

Best Pizza in the Bronx :) Their specialty slices are always delicious, the service is always great! And you get two and a half slices for the price of one!

As far as I'm concerned; this is the best pizza in NYC. Also the meals, like lasagna & ravioli, are just like home-made. The key here is the cheese; they don't use that greasy garbage ("mafia cheese") most others use. As the other reviews mentioned; this is not a place for atmosphere. But I love that they deliver, have big portions and have good prices. I just completely luck out that I live in Marble Hill & can eat here once a week. Mmmmm!

This is absolutely the BEST pizza shops in the Bronx! Not only is the pizza like cheesy slices of heaven, they also make a killer chicken philly! If you can get over the shabby appearance of the establishment you will have one of the best NYC pizza experiences of your life!

Was up in NYC Bronx staying with my friend last weekend. She recommended Arturo's as best authentic pizza. She was NOT KIDDING!! It was awesome. Very fresh and truly authentic ingredients. The pizza and slices were huge and garlic knots made with REAL pieces of garlic. Zeppoles were awesome!! Took some back to Tampa for my kids.
Don't miss Arturo's Pizzeria in the Bronx. Tampa has NOTHING like this! -

Good solid plain slice, could have used a little more sauce?, but fine crust and cheese.
