Ari's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, Maryland

2.5 The thing about small resort towns is that there isn't a thing... ya know? Things are what they are and if you don't like it... well... I don't know what to tell you. You're stuck. Oh, before I go any further, this was a pre-lockdown experience. I made my way to Garrett County in late fall. I was catching up with some of my oldest guy friends for a much-needed guys weekend. Being the Type A sort I am (and having never been to this part of the state before), I arrived earlier than everyone else -- much earlier. After gorging myself upon arrival on chips, Oreo cookies and Coca-Cola (a balanced lunch if ever there was one), I realized that I needed to eat something for dinner. I wasn't familiar with the area and the next shipment of attendees weren't showing up until midnight. Oh, and did I mention that I was at a lake house -- with a first floor of all windows -- by myself? And, it was snowing. AND I didn't have cell service. Yes, I was in a horror movie. Trying not to think about my impending doom, I found a drawer of menus and pressed my luck with an easy bet: pizza! In the real world, I have gluten issues. But I knew better than to come to a small(er) town with dietary restrictions and other needs. That was doing too much. Pizza, it was. The young lady on the phone was lovely and when she found out where I was staying, she had to get the okay for delivery (if that gives you any indication of how remote I was... and how I was going to have to fight for my life later). She got the ok and I ordered a pepperoni, sausage and onion pizza. No problem. I was charged a king's ransom for delivery and quoted a long time for arrival but I was alright with both things. I was off the grid, it was snowing and was thankful for any sort of delivery options. After a while, the food eventually showed up. The driver was polite. I paid, tipped and thanked him and I was ready to dig in to the first non-gluten-free pizza I'd had in a while. Despite the oncoming gastric distress, I was looking forward to the familiar taste of flour-y goodness. Imagine my shock and disappointment with what I received. It was not good, y'all. In fact, it may have been some of the nastiest pizza I'd had in quite some time. You see how the earlier review wrote about 'soggy' food? Yep. That. The dough was soggy (see picture), the cheese was congealed and the sauce was tangy. The pie was incredibly greasy and the middle was undercooked. None of this was a good combo. Despite my hunger, I could only suffer through one piece.* I don't want to kick a business when it may be down so I'll reiterate that the employees were very nice. I also thought the sausage (when eaten by itself) was good. The pizza I got was pan-style and the crust was enjoyable. But, I'm afraid, that's the extent of the good things I can say. *My buddies eventually arrived, started drinking like fish and knocked off the rest of the pizza in a drunken stupor -- as one does. read more

The food was absolutely AMAZING. We got the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and the Taco Pizza and they hit it out of the park! Great jobs! i'll gladly drive 5 hours to get it again. read more

Was in town for two days , ate there twice! I had a couple personal pan pizzas, a Hawaiian and a "old bay seafood pizza " both were very good, I found the portions large enough , reasonable prices, the pizza crust was very good , the staff told me that they make it from scratch. If you are in the mood for something different I would recommend the seafood pizza, which is made with crab meat and crab dip and topped with shrimp. Really good and worth the trip by itself . I topped it off with a delicious crystal beach loganberry drink and a side of chess "half moons"( which are like mozzarella sticks but way more cheese. My only suggestion for improvement would be if they could find more space for people to dine in , they have a few tables, but the space doesn't allow anymore than that. Maybe they could have some outside seating?, overall great pizza place! By the way , I saw some of the other reviews and inquired about it, they said they under new management, so any reviews more than few months old pertain to different people all together. read more

We go to Ari's everytime we come to Oakland, best pizza in town! Highly recommend getting their home made ranch on the side of any pizza!

Aris deserves a good review! It is our favorite local pizza. The crust is homemade daily. The wings are good too. Service is good and the people are nice. read more

Still all the great food, just no more delivery but that's more doordash's fault then Ari's. But it's worth the drive if you have the means to get there. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. The night we ordered... the food was almost inedible! And both my son and I got sick. It was beyond salty, greasy, and old read more

Only one star because 0 stars not an option. Don't be fooled by new ownership/management still 100% terrible. Online ordering should not even exist as they are not competent enough to handle it. If a two plus hour wait time (after your confirmed delivery time) is what you are looking for... Ari's is for you. read more

5 orders in a row screwed up. New manager is not very professional. Have given them multiple chances to get it together. I am tired of throwing $30 worth of food away. Will not be ordering from here again. read more

I don't get the low ratings from others. I've been ordering pizza from Ari's for the past year. I've tried all the others in town and theirs is by far the best. No...it's not what you'd get from the best pizza joint in a major city, but it is well made, with lots of toppings and fresh dough. And they deliver, quickly. The people who work their have always been patient and pleasant. Can't speak for the rest of the menu because I haven't tried anything but pizza. read more

Terrible. Only thing I can say is TERRIBLE. Don't go here EVER, (Unless you like cold food and rude customer service). The lady behind the counter gave us attitude the WHOLE time. I would only recommend this place to my worst enemy. If you want something better, visit Pizza Hut (Yes the food is that bad). The Bloomin Onion was way too greasy and just soggy overall, the pizza was eh, and the wings were hard and absolutely terrible. If I could, I would give it 0 stars. read more
