Arni’s

Pizza was just ok. Kids that worked there had no clue! Place did not even look like it was open. Walked in and service was not good. They acted like they didn’t want to be there. Ordered our pizza then went to find a table. Should have got it to go. Not one table was clean. Found one that wasn’t that bad and sat there. Watched while one table left, told girlfriend watch this, kid came over and threw away placemats and just put new ones on table without cleaning it. Table still had some leftover food and bread scraps on it!!! i guess that what you get with kids working without someone watching over them! Will not return to this pizza joint!!! Hope they wash their hands

The restaurant is very outdated and is located in a tired, old strip mall. The staff does not seem to want to be there. We walked in looking lost, and they left us to figure out to seat ourselves, walk up to them to order and wonder how we were going to get our food. The pizza looked like the cheapest one you can find in the frozen food aisle with thin crust, sprinkle of sausage crumbs and green peppers served on a thin piece of cardboard completely discernible from the crust, and yet, it cost $ 18.00. The stromboli was not what I expected. It was cheese and sausage crumbs in french bread, not baked inside soft, chewy dough. If you like the pizza and food at Pizza King, you will like this place, but if you don’t like Pizza King, you will hate this place, like I do. While finding our way to the back of the restaurant and taking a seat, we saw several tables needing to be bused. After we ate, the same tables were still not cleaned off. It’s a shame that most of the pizza restaurants in Monticello are so lacking.

I did not realize that I hadn’t reviewed this yet! Well, again, with Monticello you have the issue of having a very slim selection of eateries so you must deal with each one’s flaws or go eat at home. I love Arni’s pizza and breadsticks — not to mention their chili. What really irks me is that with being one of the few established restaurants in Monticello that this location have never received a face lift — of which it is in good need of. A full carpet replacement and interior redesign is greatly needed — different booths and maybe a more private setting — maybe to look more like the great Arni’s in Lebanon, IN. Service is always pretty good — not as great was what it used to be — but you know.
