Delicious food, bright and relaxed atmosphere, and great service all around. Artie's is a fantastic family-friendly restaurant that not only specializes in wood-fired pizzas but also baked goods like breads and pastries. I always love trying something off their seasonal pizza menu; during my most recent visit, I loved their maple bacon pizza, which had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. They don't accept reservations, so expect it to be pretty busy, especially during the weekends. Note that they also only have a limited cold food menu during the off hour between lunch and dinner. read more

Second time coming here. And it was even better than the first! I had come here during the day to have some of their breakfast goods, which were yummy. So, I decided to give it a try for dinner. They don't accept reservations. I arrived around 6:30 pm on a Friday to avoid crazy wait times, but still had to wait ~40 minutes. It didn't feel very long since the waiting area has a mobile wine/beer bar outside & you're able to order drinks from the restaurant as well while you wait. I didn't come with kids, but I saw a lot of families waiting. It was a kid friendly space. The inside was quite dim & it kept getting dimmer as the night progressed. I didn't love this, but it didn't bother me as much either. Pizza was delicious, and the bread tasted very fresh. The pictures show an individual pizza size, which we were told might not be big enough to share, but we made it work amongst 3 girls. Service was fast - I assume since they're trying to free up tables quickly. I'd recommend going at a non-peak time if you don't like to wait, but definitely worth a try even if for takeout! read more

Still easily my favorite pizza in NJ, no contest. Since moving to the new location, Artie's is better than ever!! The restaurant itself is spacious and has an inviting atmosphere. Love going in the warmer weather when they open up the doors and have the bar serving on the patio. And let's face it, if you know anything about Arite's you know that there will always be a wait on the weekends. Having the bar and the patio makes waiting a breeze! The food is seriously better than ever. I actually think the pizza is even better at this new spot than the previous location. The sleeper favorite for me is the maple bacon pizza. Takes the white pie to another level and has become a go to for me. Always, I repeat always, order the meatballs and save the sauce for your pizza crust. The farmers salad is always a must for me as well. No one does a salad like Artie's. Give this place a shot because trust me, you won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing pizza! Meatballs are incredible! We do a ton of takeout here, only thing I noticed a few times was the host / hostess not saying good night after paying and leaving. Again not a big deal just a nice touch I think they can add. read more

Love the atmosphere and there is ample parking in the back if it is not packed. Side note, the parking lot is all rocks- does anyone else love the sound of tires driving slowly on rocks? No? Just me I guess. This place was pricey for lunch. 50+ bucks for splitting a pie, one app and 2 sodas. The pizza was just a little more charred than I like- and I love crispy things. The burnt bubbles on top disintegrated into powder if touched. Okay pizza, better atmosphere but still overpriced for us to return. read more

Be prepared to wait because they don't take reservations, but it's worth it. It was an hour wait on a Friday night. They have an outside area where you can hang out and order drinks while you wait. 10/10 for vibes, food and drinks. Their pizza is one of the best. I can't wait to go back. read more

Update 10/2025: New location is attractive and excellent with sufficient parking and never too long a wait. Pizza and pasta and salads are as good as ever. Pastries and bread are amazing. There's a little caramelized popover whose name I can't recall that are incredible. And with drinks now, Artie's (formerly Arturo's) is a must-visit. read more

The food was amazing we had pizza, sandwiches, and fantastic mozzarella, that we even ordered some to go. The place was definitely busy. Tons of families and kid friendly. Their drinks were good if you like vermouth inspired drinks. The place is huge so plenty of seating. They also have a pasty bar with amazing things we took home cookies, almond loafs, ham and cheese croissants and jalapeños ones too! read more

I enjoyed EVERYTHING about Artie's. Driving to the restaurant, you'd swear that it would be at someone's residence, but after passing a few homes on that block, it catches your attention. The restaurant's interior is spacious, I loved the separated layout of their tables, and the contemporary warehouse vibe was awesome. Known for its wood-fired pizzas, Italian dishes, baked goods, and operating in a larger space that was formerly Arturo's. It offers a full bar with wine and cocktails, and is praised for its fresh ingredients and unique pizza toppings. For the first time, I ordered a Brussels Sprout Pizza (Brussels sprouts, bagna cauda, leeks, fresh mozzarella, parmigiano) and it was EXCEPTIONAL. The crust was thin, the undercarriage was lightly charred, all of the ingredients remained firmly on the crust with every bite, and I cannot recommend this pie, enough. The Meatball appetizer was just as good as the pizza. Each meatball was totally covered with the sweet and savory sauce and it's the perfect starter. We also ordered the Orecchiette Piccante (spicy tomato sauce, herbed breadcrumbs, ricotta). Each forkful was pleasantly spicy and the pasta was firm, fresh, and delicious. For the first time, I ordered a Hibiscus Iced Tea and it was refreshing, sweet, and served in a large glass. The service was extraordinary. Andres tended to us with a smile, was attentive, and made us comfortable throughout every course. I became a huge fan of Artie's and it will be on the top of my list when visiting this area. Ohhhhh.... and is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

Artie's was an accidental discovery when I saw a coffee shop a sign saying "proudly serving croissants from Artie's." Anywhere proudly serving a croissant from a bakery is a place I need to know about. I figured I needed to drop in to see the source and very glad I did. Artie's is a huge buildout in a warehouse with two floors. There is a bakery section with pastries and coffee in addition to a sit down restaurant serving sandwiches, pizzas, pastas and cocktails. The we got the maple bacon pizza and it was delicious. I loved the crust and would definitely reorder. We also got the mortadella sandwich with Comte.. amazing. The bread was especially excellent. There is no doubt I want to return to Artie's for more pizzas and sandwiches. We got a table without a wait on a dreary Saturday afternoon, but I read this place has a pretty long wait for dinners and I imagine it's even longer on a beautiful summer day. read more

Cannot believe how busy it was on a Monday night! They have a waiting area outside and allow you to order drinks while you wait which was nice. As a party of four, we ordered two large pies: Zucca (zucchini and ricotta white pizza) and Caciocavallo (red sauce, shaved caciocavallo cheese, EVOO) and added jalapeños. Both were a hit, but I'd swap the Caciocavallo for a Margarita next time. Crust was super crusty. Small park lot in the back. read more

MAPLEWOOD: Artie's may not be a total secret, but it still feels like a special find. This cozy spot is beloved for its wood-fired pizzas, freshly baked bread, and a full bar that keeps the good vibes flowing. From the moment we arrived, we were drawn in by the laid-back atmosphere, just people savoring great food under the evening sky. Their seasonal outdoor seating is dog friendly, so your pup can join in on the fun. And if there is a bit of a wait for a table (it is a popular place for a reason!), there is a convenient outdoor truck serving up drinks and light bites to keep you happy while you hang out. read more

Service is amazing! Came here for dinner twice! Waited about an hour each time! My suggestion is to come at 5pm when they first opened for dinner service to save a little bit of time! But either way it's still worth the wait!! I cannot believe I waited this long to try this gem! I would order anything and everything on the menu, except for the olive cake on the dessert menu. The restaurant is very roomy but dark at times. We had to use our flashlight to read the menu haha But again ORDER AND TRY ALL THE PIZZA they have! Even the leftovers are delicious and to die for! read more

Such a cute hidden gem! Casual Italian restaurant with a cafe counter for pasties. I dined in and the service was great! I highly recommend the crostini, it was absolutely delicious and flavorful!

Pizza was delicious. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Ambiance good but a bit too loud for my liking.

Arties, renamed from Arturos is a wood fire pizza spot that has move from its former location in Maplewood village to a much more fitting spot. Why more fitting? They have a nice sized outdoor area as well as plenty of indoor seating. The ambience here has a classy and intimate feel with dim lighting which along with the small menu print which is an upfront complaint. Food options of course include x amount pie choices and several appetizers. My friend and I split a couple personal pies - maple bacon and a Margherita but started with meatballs with the ricotta. The meatballs were excellent and sharable at 6. The sauce and ricotta tasted so fresh. This carried over well with the Margherita pie which had great flavor as well. The maple bacon had a nice well maple flavor along with the wood fire taste. My other complaint is that the pies seemed burnt like most of the slices were thin and crunchy and burnt. They weren't ruined but I remember eating at Arturos and it was better than this visit. To drink I had Arties's lemonade cocktail. I would try here again, its setting is great for a family outing, date or solo. The service is good with a lot of options in the way of pizza, baked goods and more. read more

We LOVE Artie's. The pizza, pasta, salads, everything is always delicious. Come early or come late because otherwise you are sure to wait an hour for a table. It's worth it! You can sit and have a drink while you wait. Now in the warm weather they have a bar trailer on the front patio with beach chairs. They have parking in the back and there's plenty of street parking. read more

I love this place. The atmosphere is great and it feels like a party when it's packed. The pizza is nice and crispy and not heavy. I have a sensitive stomach and didn't have an issue with anything. The salads were really light and refreshing and a great counterbalance to the savory pizza. read more

Artie's - holy moly! Everything we ate was unreal. I can definitely see how they made it on the list of Yelp North Jersey's Top 50 Places to Eat in 2024. Before I was impressed by the food I was impressed by the space. It's a bright and vibrant space, almost like a dining hall with long wooden tables, garage doors that open up to face a patio and a fully stocked pastry counter / coffee bar. I like that you can sit down for a meal, or just take a pastry and coffee to go. Pizza is of course where it's at, but they have a really extensive menu with pastas, sandwiches, salads, apps, etc. The menu reminded me a bit of Porta's. Pizzas come in a small and a large. A small is more than enough for two, especially if you plan to order another item or so. The sausage, pepper and onion pizza was incredible. I like how the dough is light and fluffy and not too charred. Meatballs were a must get. That red sauce.... wow. We also loved the Italian sandwich which came on a very fresh piece of crusty bread. Pastries to end the meal were a must, and I tried some sort of creme brulee stuffed donut that was beyond. If we had a place like this in Morristown I'd probably come every week. Definitely worth a visit, and just a heads up that parking can be tricky! read more

Got there right before dinner opening and a crowd was already lining up. Luckily the interior was very spacey and airy (looks like it could have been a former auto body shop or garage from the outside). Menu specializes in wood fired pizzas. They also have small plates (like Italian style tapas) and homemade pastas. We decided to try a bit of it all. They also have a bakery section with breads and pastries. Got a Margherita pizza as well as a mushroom. For small plates we ordered the Ceci and crostini. We also got a farmers salad. All were excellent. The pizzas had chewy but crisp slightly charred crusts. The cheese not too thick and went with the crushed tomatoes and fresh basil well. The crostini came with ricotta (smooth and creamy) and extra virgin olive oil. The bread was very rustic with a good crust and sopped up the dips well. The farmers salad was very fresh. It had cracked pepper, pear slices, parmigiano Reggiano cheese, spinach, romaine and radish. It was very tasty. The Ceci had soft chickpeas, with shredded cheese, olive oil, pepper and garlic. The team of servers made everything go smoothly. Too full for dessert or pastries but definitely next time. read more

I'm sorry to say that for the second time Artie's pizza missed the mark. Their pizza has been my favorite for years since Arturo's opened in Maplewood, but this summer we took family for a meal at Artie's and the pizza was a flop. It was too thin and the crust had no flavor. I assumed it was an off night but when we did takeout recently, it was also a bust. The salads are still great and I still love the meatballs. But whatever changes were made to the pizza, it's a big failure and very disappointing. Please let your fans know what changed and if you plan to fix. Otherwise you've lost this customer and probably many more. read more

Sunday lunch at Artie's was such a pleasant surprise, a true hidden gem we found while exploring Maplewood, NJ. We stumbled across it while looking for something to eat, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Kale Caesar (lacinato kale, Caesar dressing, parmigiano, and homemade sourdough croutons), which was flavorful with the dressing and parm shining through. The daily mozzarella with olive oil and sea salt was fresh and simple, yet absolutely delicious. The Santo pizza (tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, sausage, onion, and chili oil) was the perfect size to share, an individual pie that easily fed two. We also tried the Italian-American (locally produced coppa and soppressata, provolone, crunchy lettuce, and red wine vinaigrette), which came on light, fresh bread with crisp textures and balanced flavors. The standout of our visit was the host (possibly the manager), who was exceptionally friendly and attentive, really making us feel welcome. The servers, however, seemed to lack a bit of effort in their service. That said, the quality of the food more than made up for it. They also have a bakery counter, which makes this spot just as appealing for a quick pastry and coffee as it is for a sit-down meal. Worth noting: they are walk-in only, no reservations read more

Used to love Arturo's in Maplewood Village and equally love the new Artie's located near the Hilton Library in Maplewood. The new place is much larger with a hip vibe. They offer not just lunch and dinner, but you can also have breakfast with many pastry choices and terrific coffees/teas. Large parking lot in the back. Yay! read more

I called Artie's at 5 PM on a Friday to check the wait time, and the employee who answered told me there were many tables available. Based on that, my family headed over right away. When we arrived, the hostess--who also claimed she was the manager--told us the wait was 45 minutes. Completely different from what we were told on the phone. We have two small kids (7 months, 3.5 years) and my husband hadn't eaten all day because we planned our evening around the information we were given. It ended up being a total waste of time. The lack of communication (or honesty) is really disappointing, and the inside of the restaurant wasn't impressive enough to justify the hype anyway. No accommodation was made for their mistake. Bad customer service. They wont be having my business and i will spread my expeirnece for those who ask me about this place as we go out to eat 2x a week usually. We won't be coming back! read more

Arturo's and The Bread Stand together? why not! Two great establishments in one spot! location is good with parking space available but it could get so full quick. Inside is spacious and accommodates both small and bigger groups. As you enter, you wait to be seated when dining in but can go line up ahead when there for just the bakery. We dined in and tried their Bechamel and Mushroom pizza - both were delicious. Portion size was plenty and good enough to share. We then had some pastries to go. Knowing its from The Bread Stand (aside from admiring how they look), I knew they were going to be good! First time trying their strawberry chocolate danish and it was delicious! Staff were very patient with us too when we had to ask a couple of questions lol Had a good visit for sure and hopefully it wont be the last. read more

Artie's is a must place if you are looking for a delicious tasting meal. We started with baked bread (very tasty). We continued with an Italian American Sandwich (savory) and a Margherita Pizza (Awesome). Everything was delish. The restaurant was very inviting. Both indoor and outdoor seating. And plenty of seats for a small or large group. The service was professional. Multiple people helped us out. The people working behind the counter were very courteous. Overall, we had a great experience. I'd definitely come back again. I highly recommend Artie's. read more

This place is expensive but god the food is amazing. We ordered the seasonal farro salad with squash which was so flavorful. We also ordered the pepperoni pizza which was a little too charred for my taste. Our friend's pizza came out much later, so much so that our pizza was already cold when served. The server was apologetic and checked on us but they didn't really do anything to rectify the issue. Still, the food here is unmatched. read more

I ordered what was popular based on reviews... meatballs, wild boar pasta (cinghiale), and orecchiette piccante. The cinghiale was one of the best pastas I've ever had. It is comparable to restaurants in NYC. The meatballs and orecchiette were okay. Not the best, not the worst. A lot of people around us were ordering pizzas so I would try that next time. There is a parking lot behind but it is pretty tight/ small. I saw some street parking as well. The restaurant is pretty big inside. The service was a little weird. The girl was fine but not friendly. read more
