The hustle and bustle of the restaurant somehow elevates its comfortability, making it the perfect choice for cozy dining. The wood-fired pit can be seen near the back of the restaurant along with a limited view of the open-kitchen concept.

A chalkboard lines the walls near the entrance providing specials to diners. There’s no over-the-top decor to distract from the simplicity of the restaurant and its homey wooden tables. Families, parties, couples, and singles alike all congregate here to enjoy delicious dishes. No matter the occasion, you’re sure to be met with a warm atmosphere at Arturo’s — both indoor and outdoor (covered seating is available during the colder months).

Arturo’s believes that the path to great pizza is through understanding the fundamental elements of fermentation and bread baking. The dough plays a significant part in pizza making, and Arturo’s nails it. From there, each pizza is cooked in a wood-fired pit, blistered to perfection, and is ready to serve. Each pizza is small enough for a personal pie or diners can order a few to share.
