“We've driven by this little hole in the wall pizza place countless times over the past few years and had no idea we had such an amazing pizza place right down the road. Although it's in downtown China Grove, it's somewhat hidden in a corner and is easy to miss. The only reason I saw it was because someone came walking out carrying a huge pizza box. After reading all the reviews about how delicious the food is, we decided to try Ari's for the first time last night and were not disappointed. I was a little nervous to call and order based on some of the reviews, but the lady who answered the phone (and later helped us when we picked up the food) was exceedingly pleasant. We ordered a large pepperoni and mushroom, mozzarella sticks, and fried ravioli. The crust was perfection...thin, yet not too thin, and the crust was pillowy, chewy, and a little crunchy. The sauce was perfectly seasoned. The mozzarella sticks were the best we've ever eaten. The breading around the cheese was thin, light, and perfectly crispy and the cheese was still warm and stringy when we got home. The fried ravioli was so good too. The portions were generous, and you can tell the chef is extremely skilled and enjoys cooking good Italian food.We're ecstatic to have found such a delightful pizza restaurant so close to home and will definitely be back!“
“Recently went. It had been a long time since the last time I went. I think it is a restaurant that just escapes my mind, but it will take a while for me to forget my recent trip. The service was great and the food excellent!!Parking: There is plenty of parking around the restaurant!“
“The people who work here really care about the customers and they take a lot of pride in serving the customers either dining in or carry out or delivery, these people are awesome people to order from all my pizzas have been extremely satisfying I look forward to ordering more pizzas, my orders have never been messed up, always perfect really good people the girls are fun to talk to, leave a good tip ok!!!“
“I don’t know about the mushrooms here, but DANG Zoe was an amazing cashier, absolutely phenomenal. Would go back just to hear them ring me up. They even gave me some bomb tips about how to eat the pizza (inside out, not right side in) and my life is forever changed!“
“This was our first time dining here, my husband and I and our 5 children. The atmosphere upstairs is very family friendly. The tables are tall, with tall stools but they have very tall high hairs to accommodate kiddos still needing a high chair. Facility is very clean, including clean bathrooms. The food by far exceeded my expectations. We shared the crispy brussel sprouts, and they were so good, sweet but crispy. The kids annihilated them. We got the pepperoni pizza for the kids, which is wood fired and delicious. My husband and I got smash burgers and fries. My burger had pepper jelly and bacon on it, it was different, but so good. We took some chances on things we might not normally get, but all the flavors worked together perfectly. They know what they’re doing there. The owner was very friendly and thanked us for coming. Highly recommend!!!!“
