Armand's Chicago Pizzeria

Been eating Armand's since I was a kid. There is no better pizza in town than Armand's deep dish sausage pie. The Chicago Combo is a really good too, a very delicious crust with a generous amount of sauce and cheese topped with pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, green peppers and onion- all very fresh and baked to perfection. Some people think it's expensive, but when you consider how much more substantial their deep dish is compared to most places, I think it's a great value. Besides the typical offerings they also have a nice list of specialty pizzas, many if which I've tried and love. The thin crust pizza is quite good too (and probably a little healthier), so it's a matter of personal choice. They also have a good list of appetizers, salads, pastas and desserts I particularly love their newer entree salads. The lunch buffet is one of the beat deals in town! The service is decent and getting a table is rarely a problem, which is nice these days.

My wife and I had delivery, and the order consisted of a deep-dish cheese pizza and a Caesar salad. Delivery: The delivery time was within the quoted window and the driver called prior to delivery to ensure the address. The food was hot. Food: The pizza overall was good, and the crust was delicious. However, the sauce was a little blah. Overall it was a decent pie, and I'm eager to try some of their specialty pizzas. The salad had homemade croutons and it tasted like homemade dressing. I'm not a big salad guy, so I can't comment too much. Overall: The delivery was prompt, the food was hot, and not bad. We will definitely order again.

Homey and quiet ! You can actually hear your conversation. The food takes time - like an old fashioned restaurant. It's a great neighborhood meeting place.

Armand's is the best pizza in town, hands down. At fifteen bucks or more a pie before tax/tip, the price is kinda high, but you'll know where that extra couple bucks went. Their original chicago combo rocks, but they've got a couple more imaginative options too, including a thai deep dish that's fantastic. They're kind of cold to you on the phone when you order, kinda feels like you're ordering a hit on somebody. So there's that.

I went to Armands for lunch but was terribly disappointed. I had the idea that I wanted pasta, so I went for penne with chicken, artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers. The white sauce had no taste. Perhaps it was made with a roux and cheese, but it seemed like it had no seasoning. I kept having to add salt and pepper, and it still seemed lacking. Perhaps if I'd done the lunch buffet ( pizza selections, salads) I would have done better. Also, the waitress cleaned tables as she explained the buffet, didn't look at me when she was talking and mumbled. Armand's has subpar service.
