Very kind staff, the pizza is thin and crispy. We avoid cheese so we had it without. i was pleasantly surprised at the amount of sauce on the pizza. It made it not dry and very delicious. The restaurant is pretty dimly lit and hard for this old girl to see. We sat by the window which was nice to see passerbys. The tables by the window are tiny and its hard to sit with a large pizza and drinks. We had a great time and delicious pizza read more

We pulled up right after comic con, we ordered the soup and salad and a large pepperoni pie. The minestrone soup tasted like it was fresh out of the cambells soup can ( lacking). I also had the Cesar salad, the greens were soggy and tasted day old. Lastly the pizza, this pie was hitting on every level, light crispy and full of savory goodness. If you're going to hit up this spot, skip the soup and salad, and go straight the pizza, its fire read more

Ardovino's Pizza - dood workin tha computer onna right side of tha bar!! - Pizza Near Me - El Paso, Texas

We are Foodies! We love great, tasty food. I read the reviews and figured it can't be that bad, I mean it's authentic, right? We ordered a Medium cheese pizza, and it was not great. It reminded us of a Digiorno Pizza frozen style pizza. Way to much, not great tasting sauce with a soggy bottom style presentation. Dough did not taste like a in house made dough. We want Ardovino's to be better, we need that here locally. I am here for the best pizza: even good pizza can be great. We have eaten at Pizza Bianca (PHX), Mozza (LA) Hungry Sasquatch (VC) read more

This location in the UTEP college district is hopping. There were mostly older folks in there but the place was lively! Everyone was engaged in multiple conversations and having a great time. Aside from the food they have a good wi r and beer selection. The menu definitely has something for everyone- I was there with a group of my gal pals and the variety on the table when the food came out was amazing- everything smelled great! I had ordered the "gluten free" cauliflower crust pizza. I have a gal pal that was diagnosed with celiac disease and I have been learning a lot from her about what is realty gluten free for someone with celiac disease. I asked the waitress lots of questions and she had answers, which is great to know. So, for a pizza to be gluten free at a celiac standard, the pizza would have to be placed in a pie pan or sheet pan and then placed in the oven. My waitress told me this was not their process and the pizza went directly into the oven on the stone, the same way the other, regular dough pizzas are cooked. So what happens in this situation, there is contamination of the non gluten product with residual gluten that is in the pizza stone. This is such a headache for many celiac patients- my gal pal had to give away all her non stick cookware and utensils, her cast iron pans, her cutting boards, and more because gluten gets trapped in tiny pores and scratches and does not come out. Like I said, I learned a lot from my friend's misfortune. Aside from the gluten/non gluten issue, the pie was great! I was pleasantly surprised at the taste and the toppings were on point. If you are doing Keto, low carb or one of the many plant based diets, this is a great option. read more

Ardovino's Pizza - Cauliflower crust pizza! - Pizza Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Such a solid place! We came here right before the lunch rush on a Sunday so we didn't have to wait. I can tell it's a neighborhood's favorite! There's outside and indoor seating available but I would choose to eat indoors next time bc of the amount of flies we had to battle while eating our meal outdoors... the service was also great! What we ordered: 1. Meat lasagna 1/2 order - 6.5/10. The sauce tasted just like tomato sauce from a can but overall it was pretty solid! I almost couldn't taste the separate layers though. It felt like I was just eating meat pasta haha not lasagna if that makes sense? 2. Pizza (1/2 no. 5, 1/2 no. 9) - 7/10. The texture of the pizza is pretty thin and cracker like! It's not the floppy type of thin pizza tho. It's more stiff and the cheese was on the firmer side but still solid! We were able to order a large and order 2 diff flavors on one pan which i really recommend doing 3. Antipasto plate - 8/10. My fave dish of the day! It came with plenty of sides including salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, provolone, mozzarella, olives, jalapeños with a choice of bread. We got ciabatta bread which was delicious! The tomato and mozzarella with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette tasted so fresh and delicious! Lovedd read more

Visited El Paso Texas today and my family recommended this restaurant. It's a small, quaint, cozy Family run Italian restaurant. Great wine and beer selections‼ The food was really genuine tasting and prepared. We shared the "Woody and House" pizzas. Outstanding pizza sauce and the toppings were really fresh tasting and delicious‼ I highly recommend it if you're in town or passing through. read more

My wife and I have patronized your restaurant on more that a few occasions and have always, up until now, experienced very good to excellent service and food. Yesterday (11/15/2024), however, we visited your North Zaragosa location at 3:45 p.m. and had a terrible experience. There was only one other table being served at the time and your staff was prompt at seating us with menus. After nearly 15 minutes, my wife found it necessary to summon someone to take our order. My wife received her salad within a reasonable time, however, our main dishes took approximately 30 minutes to arrive. Her dish was satisfactory but mine (lasagna) was Lukewarm at best and tasted as if it had been sitting out for some time. During our meal, our server never checked on us once. At the register I spoke with a young man identified as the manager, and after relaying our disappointment, his response was simply, "I'm sorry to hear that". Our server was at the register and apologized for not checking on us. After paying the bill, the server handed us a measley coupon for a pizza discount. This was not a peak business hour and I found our experience to be incredibly unjustified. Randolph McDorman, Sr. randolphmcdorman@att.net 575-556-4071 read more

Always a great experience when ordering take out or dinning in. Love their thin pizza and salads and they have a huge beer selection!

Wine menu very bad. Two pizzas very soggy. Cheese on both pizzas was so thick it was almost like golden muenster from deli. I used to frequent the west side location when I lived in El Paso. Was meeting friends to catch up over the holiday on a Friday evening when most kitchens are churning and burning, not sure if this was a mistake read more

You've been to one Ardovino's, you've sort of been to all of them...except for the one in Sunland Park, New Mexico. Did you know?...You can now go glamping at the one in Sunland Park? All of the Ardovino's Pizza locations don't look the same but the food and service quality is always there at every one I've been to. I would have to say Ardovino's is one of my favorite pizza joints in El Paso. I like their thin crust, crunchy type pizza. The pizzas are always fresh and made to order. My go to toppings are usually pepperoni and jalapeno. I don't mind black olives or mushrooms at times. I have yet to try their sandwiches. I tried their lasagna at the Sunland Park location. It was also very good. It looks like it's a small portion but don't let your eyes deceive you! I still got full even though it looked small. I haven't been to this Ardovino's location in quite awhile. We usually frequent the one on Sunset. This location is cozy and the service has always been good in my experience. We usually order the same things when we come to an Ardovino's pizza joint...a pepperoni pizza and one of their salads. I have yet to have any issues at any of their locations. I would recommend bringing a friend or relative from out of town to Ardovino's. This is one of the more casual pizza places we have in the 915. You can dress up if you want! If you're looking for a fancier dinner, I suggest going to the one in Sunland Park. read more

I loved the atmosphere and the wall of wine bottles. Loved the pizza! The crust was thin and crunchy and the toppings were fresh and delicious. I tried the margarita pizza and a pizza with mushrooms, black olives and pepperoni. Then I noticed bottles of giardiniera for sale! I love the stuff and on pizza was fabulous! The area is cute. They also had online coupons which made it affordable. The place was clean and the staff was wonderful and attentive. read more

I don't even know where to start. If I was Italian and a connoisseur of fine Italian food then I would give you an amazing Italian review. However, that said, this place was amazing. Whenever I crave lasagne this is my go to spot. The sauce it rich and the pasta is to die for. If you're looking for a great date spot then this Ardovino's should be your go to place. It's very intimate, and the wine is on point. I don't recall having bad service. This spot has never disappointed read more

First off.. we got lucky and found parking. But, their parking is a bit small. Came during dinner hour for Mother's Day. It wasn't too pack and we got seated right away. Ordered the house salad and 2 pizza (the woody and the meat lover) House salad was delicious! Whatever their dressing is, was made to perfection. The woody pizza was good. Don't love it but don't hate it either. The 3 meat was my least favorite. Just didn't like it at all. Service- our server was good and friendly. The place is a bit cramped. The tables and chairs between each other was a bit on the tighter side. But luckily it wasn't a full house so it was spacious enough. Can't imagine how cramped it'll be if there was a full house. read more

We've ordered takeout from Ardovino's Pizza several times over the past few months and have had an excellent experience every time. First of all, we love that they have options for gluten free, vegan, and "regular" diets. We have all three in our family, and this is one of the few places we can order from and all have a great meal. We typically order 2-4 different pizza combinations with a salad, and it is always fresh and super delicious. We haven't stayed for dine-in recently, but the atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming, and the pick-up process is quick, friendly, and efficient. Definitely recommend! read more

Order a meatball sandwich , cauliflower pizza with vegan cheese, tomato and basil , cheese pizza and an anti pasta salad. NOT GOOD. Let's start with the meatball sandwich, it had dried meatballs cut in half with sauce that was hard. The cauliflower pizza was disgusting. The crust was hard cardboard with slimy cheese. Dried tomatoes and no basil. The cheese pizza had same disgusting crust. I think they made a mistake on crusts. The cheese was so minimal and sauce it was like eating cardboard Now for the antipasta salad. It had one slice of pepperoni, one salami, 2 peppercines, wilted lettuce and a slice of cheese. Don't Easter your money this place was HORRIBLE read more

It all starts really well, -there's a sign at the door requesting that you sanitize before entering -most staff is wearing masks ...wait, most? ...An employee is walking around with no mask, is coughing. I just stare awkwardly, wondering how to move away. Another employee goes out and cleans the door handle every 10 minutes. read more

Stopped in for dinner because I'd heard this was the best pizza place in El Paso. The ambiance is casual, but they also have a secluded tables for a romantic date. First I had the Cranberry Bleu salad and it was excellent. Their house balsamic was very good. Next I had their Margherita pizza. Fantastic! Perfect crust; fresh mozzarella; excellent seasoning. Overall, an awesome dinner. Highly recommend. read more

So - the service is great.....that's about it. The house salad is good - antipasto with a couple of slices of provolone, salami, pepperoni, olives, pepperoncini, tomato, generous Italian dressing. But the pizza is awful. The crust is cardboard, no edge, sauce reminded me of a spaghetti sauce. Reminded me of a Tombstone pizza.... On the way out I saw a frozen version of the pizza they served us in a case - that explains it all. read more

My mom and I went during lunch and the service was horrible we ordered calzones and they were raw. I returned them at the moment we had only eaten one (order comes with 4) I told them it was raw. They took them back still cooked them raw gave them to me and only handed 2 in a bag after we had paid for all 4. Definitely never expected that horrible service after we have gone there many times. read more

Pizza is my favorite food and they did not disappoint! Ambiance: Quaint little spot with a friendly staff. They have a wall of wine which is always pleasant to see. The bathroom is a little narrow but nothing to fuss about. Other reviewers complained about parking but I didn't have any issues. Food: You can taste the freshness! I started with a small green salad, hold the onions. The lettuce was crisp and the dressing was light and tasty! There were lots of tempting pizza choices but I decided to do a small create your own. I chose olives, tomatoes, mushrooms and pepperoni. The pizza came out hot & fresh with perfectly thin, crunchy crust. I ate half then and took the other half for a snack later. read more

Bringing the Yelp to El Paso! Memory has a tendency of making things from childhood seem larger and better than they really were. You know, the good ole days, like my parents say, and their parents before them, and their grandparents before them, stretching all they way back to cro-magnon days (you know Thog, in the good ole days we didn't need fire, and we certainly didn't grunt with Neanderthals). But, with that warning aside, this place is as good as memory serves. Even though I grew up in San Diego, I would spend a month in El Paso every year with the grand-parental-untis and the extended clan. I know, five star pizza in El Paso? Honestly, this place has better pizza than most of the joints you'll find in either Chicago or New York, and it's better than anywhere in California (including North Beach, you snob). It's been in the family of an immigrant Italian family (you guessed it, the Ardovinos) who have been in the El Paso area since before WWII and they know their dough. The sandwiches and anti-pasta salad aren't bad either. If you're spending any amount of time in El Paso and you want something other than mexican food (which is damn good here, not that tex-mex crap in Dallas or Houston) than you should definitely try this place out. read more

I was told that Ardovino's has the best pizza in all of El Paso. Hearing this we added it to our "must try" list while I was in town exploring the area. The restaurant is a small place next to an even smaller alley on the busy street of Cincinnati. We drove around for a bit while looking for parking and finally found a spot in the alley next to the restaurant. We made a reservation over the phone while we were driving over. We walked in at around 9:30pm on a Saturday night and to our surprise it was pretty empty. The dining area is cozy with a small deli counter and tons of beer and wine bottles on the shelves covering the walls. There's also a bunch of random imported goods filling in the gaps between bottles. The rear part of the dining area also has a large flat screen playing ESPN. The menu has exactly what you'd expect -- pizza, and lots of it. There's traditional pizzas, a build your own option, and plenty of house favorites. Everything looked delicious but I finally landed on the Woody pizza (provolone, feta cheese, pesto, red sauce, pepperoni, garlic, and roasted red pepper). Even though my friends both ordered the 10 inch pizzas, I went with the medium 12 inch. Yeah, that's right. I had one thing in mind when I upgraded to the medium, cold pizza for breakfast the next day! The pizza was thin, evenly sliced (uneven slices are a pet peeve of mine) and loaded with the delicious ingredients. The mixture of pesto and red sauce was amazing and the feta and provolone did the same as well. The pepperoni was sliced thin and the edges were burned just enough to give a slight crunch with each bite. Delicious! Like I said, I was told this was the best pizza in El Paso. I didn't try any other pizza joints while I was in town, but I'm pretty certain they wouldn't have matched up to Ardovino's! read more

Ardovino's Pizza - Woody pizza (provolone, feta cheese, pesto, red sauce, pepperoni, garlic, and roasted red pepper). - Pizza Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I ordered a calzone last week. Calzone is supposed be stuffed specially in the middle and everything was just flat. The bread was flat thin pieces and not fluffy. The bread wasn't pinched or folded on the ends. I received like a pita with few ingredients inside and melted cheese. It's the worse calzone I've ever had. I've made calzones from scratch myself. It had no ricotta cheese as original recipe requires. I ordered with prosciutto and I had to pull it out because it was so hard that it was not edible. I double checked with the waitress that it was actual calzone and told it was. Go here and order a pizza but nothing else. The atmosphere was cute and service was good. Too bad they had calzone on the menu if they don't know how to make it. read more

Ugh, another place downtown with terrible pizza. I won't recommend their pizza; the other menu items might be better. The presentation of the food is lovely, but the pizza is strange. About a slice and a half if the taste hit me and I had to stop eating. For a thin pizza part of the dough was soggy and the cheese doesn't stay on the pizza. The sign of a bad pizza is when the cheese separates from the sauce and crust on every bite. The customer service is excellent. Pizza can't live out here; I think I'll stick to more Hispanic cuisine when in Rome do as the Romans do. read more
