Not open when they state they are open. Order pizza through Slice app and it takes a half hour for Araci-to cancel it. Bad online management and need to iron that out. That said.....the food is the bomb! Just unfortunate-there google business is not reflective of their hours.

I really wanted to like the food because I live very close and noticed it’s always pretty slow. Got a slice and some garlic knots. The guys working were incredibly nice. The pizza was extremely thin and don’t get me wrong I love a New York slice but this was like see through thin. The sauce was meh but the cheese blend was nice. Mostly 3 stars because of the great service. If the pizza was slightly thicker it would honestly be better

Some of the best pizza in the 614 in my opinion. Reasonably priced for the Columbus area. A great place to get a quick and easy snack after a night out or gameday. Employees promote a calm and friensly environmentVegetarian options: Offer plenty of custom and pre-made cheese pizza options

Great food and wonderful service. From the time we walked in to when we left we were constantly checked in on and received friendly service. You know they take pride in the food they serve when the guy making the food asks how we like it. Overall great food that filled us up and awesome service that will bring us back next time we’re in Columbus.

Have been eating here for a decade and it gets better every time. The ingredients standout from all others. Their breadsticks, which is actually a white pizza, is nicely portioned oval pie with a tasty slightly Smokey cheese, garlic, and finished with fresh basil, and perfectly cooked crust that is served to be dipped in their savory pizza sauce. The sauce is tangy, rich, and made from fresh tomato’s with perfectly timed hints of garlic. A thin inner crust that is never crispy and the outside is thick, soft, and chewy and best finished with a swipe in their tangy sauce. Their cheese pizza is perfect and they add fresh basil to give it something the others don’t. The pie is rarely greasy and surprisingly not overly filling. They deliver fresh flavors that are made with love and taste like they come from the gardens of Italy. Be sure to get a side or two of pizza sauce on the side to dip that delicious crust in!

Went there the other day with a date of mine little did I know I’d be taken back in time to my childhood. It was great eating a fantastic home cooked Italian dinner so hot and full of fresh ingredients that you could’ve sworn the cook was your grandmother. There was heart and soul put into that food… will definitely be ordering from this place again!

Ordered a margherita pizza through Uber eats. I received a pizza with sauce, sparse basil and ricotta cheese. This pizza is supposed to have fresh mozzarella. Unsatisfied with the quality of this pizza

I've been thinking about coming here, and today I happen to drive right past it so I stopped. They have a special, two slices for eight bucks. Add tax and a drink and it was 11, but still a good deal for two very big slices of New York style pizza. They had half a dozen to choose from and I wanted to try every one. I ended up with a white pizza and one with banana peppers and pepperoni. Great crust, great cheese, great toppings. They throw them back in the oven for a minute and they came out warm. Cheesy. Not too greasy. Excellent. Wish I'd come sooner. We will be back.
My 9th grade daughter and are visiting Columbus for a horse expo. We were in the mood for a GREAT pizza. The local staff at our hotel recommended Aracri. So, so glad we took her recommendation. We don't visit college towns often, so it was mini-adventure. The pizza is amazing. You watch the owner hand-tossing the crust. It's fired in a real wood pizza oven, you can watch your pie being baked if you want. You just can't get this kind of flavor and texture in a normal oven or on a grill--and definitely not at a chain. I'm a purest, so I just wanted cheese pizza and a Bud Light, but you can get craft beers as well. My daughter's side had bacon and mushrooms, and they don't skimp on the toppings! So. Much. Bacon...I kept filching pieces from her side. We so enjoyed sitting by the window with our hot, fresh pizza and people-watching OSU. Friendly staff, great food, great location. We'll be back when we visit Columbus next year!

Excellent cheese pizza! NY crust or Italy? Both! Enjoyed every bite! We just happened upon the Gay st location leaving an event across the street. Great find.

One of the best pizza places I have ever eaten at! Great service and amazing pies. The garlic knots were to die for.

Just average pizza for the price. Two slices of pizza for $7.99. The sausage pizza was dripping with oil but the sauce was good. It's OK but there's equivalent pizza out there for less cost

The pizza was astounding. I spent time looking at all of the reviews for the pizza joints around and I was very delighted with my selection. You will not be disappointed.
