Ariston Pizza

I have to say I haven’t frequented this place as much as I did years ago but I have stopped in a few times recently due to new ownership. I wanted to provide an accurate review so I’m updating. The food has changed, The Chicken Caesar salad has very delicious, seasoned chicken with fresh baked pita bread. The last time I ordered though some (by some i mean ¼) of the lettuce was bad which has never happened before. I would like to stress that I love the chicken and dressing here. The pita bread is great, at times a Tad too salty. I haven’t ordered anything else under new ownership, other than a froyo milkshake which was not good and way overpriced. It was definitely made with ice. The people who work here are extremely nice and always bring your order to you. I can only recommend the chic Caesar salad.

I just want to update my review from eight months ago, the last time I ordered from this grease pit. I was dreaming about Buffalo chicken fingers my entire commute home and figured I would give these guys one more chance since they are in my neighborhood. Big mistake. They were loaded with green and PITCH black habanero peppers, making every potential bite inedible — not only does the service here stink, but now you can’t eat the food. I wish I could load pictures on here so you could all bare witness to something truly and disgustingly gross. Perfect time of year to be horrified.

Easily he most delicious chicken Caesar salad I’ve ever had, and I eat a lot of it. The pita bread seems to be home made, and it comes to you fresh out of the oven. They give you a glorious amount of chicken and the dressing is fantastic. I don’t eat out often, but if I’m craving a chicken Caesar salad, this is the place to be.

Unfortunately this place just keeps getting worse. Last year they were tolerable enough for an occasional order, but their food seems to be getting smaller and lacking taste. The last two times I ordered: first I waited an hour and a half, called and they said they forgot to put it in. Took another 35 mins to get to me. Second time was another hour and a half, the guy got there 15 mins after I called. I won’t be ordering from them anymore.

This place is usually hit or miss for me, but after today, I won’t be back.
I ordered via online delivery and I was quoted 30 minutes… yeah, right buddy. I finally got my food (a steak tip salad) after 1 hour and 15 minutes. After 45 minutes had passed, I called to check in and the person answered the phone with an attitude and said they ‘just’ got my order, and it would be there in 10 minutes. Again, year right.
The steak tip salad had steak tips on it that were either grisly and over-​cooked or reddish-​purple in the middle (i asked for medium). The pita bread that came with the salad was raw in the middle. Absolutely not worth the 9 bucks I paid.
Bottom line: Run away, run away quickly.

Of the places I’ve had the misfortune of ordering from, Ariston is at the top of that list. It ranks in badness with Maria’s and places where I’ve contracted food poisoning. Fortunately, the food here didn’t make me sick to my stomach, simply sad to put it in my mouth. Every order from this place has been gross and a waste of cash.
There are a number of better pizza places that will deliver around Beverly, just go anywhere but here. :X

Waited an hour for my food and finally called. I ordered directly through their website. They apparently did not get the order and insinuated that I didn’t order it through the right site. I definitely did. I said that I would have to forget it because I couldn’t wait another 30 – 60 minutes for dinner… no offer to get it to me asap or anything. I get that websites malfunction but A. try to make it right. and B. don’t make it sound like the customer did something wrong. I have a screen shot of my receipt from their site. Won’t order there again.

Wish I could have actually tried this place. Was in the mood for a couple slices one day so I went into Ariston. As I got to the counter, I saw an employee in the back who was playing with his phone — and I thought he saw me. Guess he didn’t though, because he never came out. I banged around a bit to try tip him off that there was a customer in the store by getting a soda out one of the refrigerated drink cases… but to no avail. Turned around, walked out, drove down the street to Maria’s and had 2 great slices of cheese.

best pizza in town and subs are great, fast and pleasant staff,

I just received my order through
it said I would get my food in 35 mins ended up being 50 mins. My pizza was cold and French fries were soggy and cool. Probably the worst service around. And I got a salad but since everything was cold it was all cold. Ugh. I won’t be ordering from here ever again. Over priced for the quality and taste of food.

We order from here frequently. The past couple of times the order has either been wrong or the food has been cold and soggy due to how long they take to deliver. I ordered a grilled chicken salad and the chicken was cold and rubbery, one pepper slice, a couple cucumber slices and lettuce. I won’t be ordering from here again.

I’ll best honest, I drove past this place and thought it said artisan pizza. So I stopped in with the mister and we immediately realized it was a regular old pizza joint. We ordered 2 slices each and the dude behind the counter told us we could get a whole plain pie for $ 3 more and that we did. No regrets. Thin crust, perfect amount of cheese and sauce. It was good. My mister loved this place; I found it slightly above average. If we are in the area with hangovers again, I’d come back for sure. Quick service too!

The only reason I’ve gone here it out of pure convenience. More often than not, I’m disappointed with the food. I had an eggplant pizza once that was awful, the eggplant tasted like pure black pepper to the point of being almost inedible. I place an online order for a burger, and even though everything was typed out and easy to read, they still messed it up.
I went here once and, only having a half hour for a lunch break, ordered an antipasto salad (ya know, throw some cold lunch meat on top of a salad)… took them 20 minutes! I’ve worked in pizza before, and there’s no reason for that. They weren’t that busy, there weren’t delivery guys rushing around, and there were no more than 5 other people in the restaurant when I was in there.
Cabot Pizza is right up the street, I’d just go there instead.

Tried this place 3 times in last month. Has been fair at best. Went in last night and ordered a steak combo which comes with peppers, onion and mushrooms. I added lettuce and tomato. After starting to eat the sandwich I notice there is no peppers, onion or mushrooms. I bring it up to the counter and the girl brings it out back. I hear the old lady out back yelling. The sandwich comes back to me with plenty of attitude. All they did was grill some mushrooms on top. I pointed out to the girl at the counter that I still didn’t get peppers or onion. She smiled and said sorry about that. Great customer service. Will NEVER go back.

This place is AWFUL! I wanted to order something to eat for lunch today and I figured I’d try out a new place. I ordered a steak and cheese roll up and a small side salad for Delivery.
First, the delivery took almost an hour! I can understand a lunch rush, but when I called in to check the status the woman on the other end of the phone apologized that the delivery took so long, the driver had to deliver to a place that was 2 miles away. UGH, really 2 miles and it took an hour! wow.
Next, I got my food, as I was taking it out of the bag it looked like the roll up was dripping. It was COVERED in grease and leaking out of the wrapper it was in. The side salad was mostly lettuce, which was brown and slimy on the bottom, 1 sliver of tomato, 1 slimy cucumber and i slice of a green pepper. After picking out the brown lettuce I was left with hardly any salad, maybe enough for 1 or two bites. It was truly awful. Worst waste of my money. I will NEVER order from there again.

I decided to give these guys a try today because I was starving and they had online delivery. HUGE MISTAKE. All I wanted was a roast beef sub. You know — a good thick hunk of rareish roast beef on a fresh roll? What I got was 6 slices — small thin slices, like bacon sized slices, of dark gray meat. After a few bites I didn’t like the taste & chucked it. How hard is a roast beef sub?

Unfortunately this place is just your average greasy flavorless local sub/​pizza shop. I will admit they have a ton of options and while I haven’t tried everything I’ve ordered enough times to decide that I’ll only order from here if I’m desperate and everything else is closed. Pizza is OK– nothing special. I ordered a meatball sub and the meatballs had NO flavor, quite disappointing. I give this place two stars only because of their wide variety of options and good seating.

I came in to order a pizza to go and didn’t see a person to help me. Did I mention that I waited for 20 minutes. I must have been really hungry and convinced that someone was ill and would come out and check on me. After waiting for 5 minutes standing at the counter, and 10 minutes sitting in their booths, and then another 5 minutes shouting in the back, is anyone there? I really wish there was a sign that says be back in half an hour or will return soon or something like this. I started to get worried. Perhaps someone was having a heart attack or getting sick? I felt ignored and upset. I wish I could try their pizza, plus my mom wanted to try their other delicious meals. My sister, my mom and I came in armed with appetites and no pizza was available for us. :(

This restaurant is awesome! I’ve had pizza and a variety of wraps from here.
Service is pleasant and the delivery is quick. Ordering can be done by phone, fax, or on their website! Love the convenience!
The pizza has a crispy crust and a great sauce.
The variety of wraps are AWESOME! I especially love the beef terriyaki one, with chunks of meat, roasted red bell peppers and rice with a sweet and salty terriyaki sauce. My next favorite would be the Falafel and Hummus — Hold the onions please!
Definately a Must Try in Beverly

I live right around the corner from this place and if I ever feel like a calzone I always pick this place. Some other people mentioned their pizza was gross, I’ve never tried it, but their calzones are delicious (if a tiny bit greasy). A large from them is pretty cheap and easily enough for 2 people, with some tasty veggie options.
If you’re looking for a place to grab something quick and tasty around Beverly I would definitely recommend this place.
