I went here for the first time with my girlfriend to grab dinner. Ended up going with the shawarma pizza and a small caesar salad. Absolutely DELICIOUS pizza.
To me a good pizza needs to have good crust, and this place has it perfectly down, nice crispy crust the way I enjoy it. My girlfriend loved the toppings, everything is freshly prepared and done to a deliciously professional level.
To top our experience off the owner came out and gave us a free garlic sauce to go along with our pizza. Amazing service.
Great place and totally recommend if you want a good pizza. Very much looking forward to coming back and trying something else on the menu.
Take out joint only. Small place but quaint. 1st time trying. Ordered a med (12 slice) half meat lover. Pricey for 1 pizza ($32) Crust was NY style (more crispy than chewy) and really good. Good amount of toppings and sauce was tasty. Overall a good pie and would try again. Friendly service and not much atmosphere so average score.
Anyone can do good sauce and toppings but the real artistry is the crust and the service! I was in Windsor for the weekend and tried both Arcata and Capri (across the street), out of curiosity. Arcata was better tasting, hands down. I can’t even describe the crisp, yet fluffy and chewy crust. It was out of this world. Plus the staff was so friendly, even going out of their way to bring me napkins as I decided to eat at the picnic table outside, and take my empty pizza box for disposal when I was done. For the vegans/dairy-free, they have soy cheese, whereas Capri does not. I can’t wait until I am in town again so I can visit Arcata.
My coworkers have been telling me that Arcata’s pizza in Windsor ACTUALLY has the best pizza in CANADA! So we had to stop by and try it after coming back from a 3.5 hour drive from the GTA!
They had an extensive list of options, even including pasta, chicken parm, and chicken fingers, but we came only for the pizza!
My friends and I are vegetarian, so I expected to see just a list of random vegetables, and then you create your own pizza, but Arcata’s ACTUALLY had specially curated vegetarian pizzas! A Greek Style pizza, a regular veg pizza with many toppings, and the Don’s pizza? That one had sun dried tomatoes (my favourite), goat cheese, and ROSEMARY! I’ve never had rosemary on pizza, so we tried it! We also got their house made garlic dip (absolutely amazing), plus 3 Arizona’s! And the man was nice enough to recommend me a delicious flavour (Red Apple Green Tea with Ginseng)!
The pizza took about 15-20 minutes! Worth the wait for a large, and 3 drinks! Came up to $40. It’s was so hot and fresh. The sauce burned my tongue, that’s how hot it was (but that’s exactly what I needed)! The crust was thin, beautifully crispy on the bottom, the pizza’s topping marries each other so beautifully! If you’ve never tried Arcata’s, you need to go today! There was just the right amount of cheese and toppings and sauce! The perfect balance! The workers were all very nice and helpful as well! 12/10 RECCOMEND!
I recently visited Arcata Pizza on Dougal, and I must say, I was impressed with the overall experience.
Firstly, the restaurant had a cozy and inviting atmosphere and the aroma of freshly baked pizzas wafting through the air only added to the ambiance. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and their service was prompt and efficient.
Now, coming to the pizza itself, it was simply delicious! The crust was thin and crispy, with just the right amount of chewiness, and the sauce had a rich, tomatoey flavor that blended perfectly with the toppings. I ordered the classic pepperoni pizza, and the pepperoni was generously scattered all over the pizza, cooked to a crispy perfection.
In addition to their classic pizzas, they also had a variety of gourmet options, which I found to be unique and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the BBQ chicken pizza, which had a tangy BBQ sauce, tender chicken pieces, and a perfect blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
Overall, I would highly recommend Arcata's to anyone who's looking for a delicious pizza experience. With their cozy ambiance, friendly service, and mouth-watering pizzas, it's definitely worth a visit!
Ordered a large Shwarma Pizza with extra chicken tonight. Was honestly one of THE BEST pizzas we've had from them to date! Definitely WILL order again. Thank you
For those of you looking for a healthy alternative to your traditional pizza, this is your spot. I decided to try their keto crust pizza even though I am not currently on the keto diet. But i wanted low carb pizza and this was the perfect fit. The taste was amazing and I will be definitely back sometime in the future. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent customer service and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for an healthier alternative. Ps. They also do the traditional pizza as well which I suspect would be awesome.
Many years ago my family were devoted customers of Arcata. Had not sampled Arcata in decades but heard they won Best Pizza in Windsor last year. Why not give it a try? The pizza was bland and awful. No pizzazz. Was to be my birthday dinner but tossed it after 2 slices. And the delivery driver left the pizza on the porch. No knock or doorbell ring. I prepaid for delivery and a tip. Last time that happens. A waste of $44 dollars.
I love these guys! They make the best pizza in town in terms of crunchiness and taste! The variety in what you can order is amazing. Would recommend everyone in Windsor to try it out.
Ordered the Arcata special for the first time for take out. We've had the pepperoni many times and it was good. It was not what I expected. It's burnt around the crust and it was dry and thin. I guess today wasn't their day. Little disappointed.
Tried it for the first time. So good! Definitely going back. Excellent service and the pizza was great. We had the Meat Lovers and Proscuitto & Fig. We’ll keep going back until we’ve tried them all.
Randomly watched, "The Pizza City You've Never Heard Of, " I knew I had to try the shawarma pizza! The Arcata special is also legit! Such a wonderful place and wonderful people!
Visited Arcata earlier this week after hearing great things about Windsor pizza and was very disappointed. Ordered the Arcata special and it was heavily undercooked which left me very sick and nauseous. The only good part about it was that it was thin crust but the toppings were definitely not cooked on the pizza. On my first bite I also found a hair so that should have been my indication to stop eating but I wanted to give it a shot anyways. Staff was nice but the food was not good.save your money and go to Capri across the street.
Ordered wings, Gluten Free pizza, Regular meat lovers and Greek salad. Had to toss 6 wings (hard as a rock) and both pizzas dry, overcooked. First and last time customer. (Salad was OK)
Not like it used to be. Our pizza arrived in a jumbled mess. When I called the store the owner came on the line to say “I ain’t got time to talk to you lady” and hung up. So we were left with inedible food.
Pizza was amazing! Their slice size was perfect. Crust and topping distribution was just right. We almost didn't order due to a couple negative reviews and I am so glad that when we flipped a coin between 2 places it landed on Arcata. This place is going on my family's favorite places list. Will be a repeat customer for sure.
Stopped in for a slice of pizza today with a friend while doing some running around and oh my it was delicious. It was my first time ever trying a slice from here and will definitely be going back. When I walked in the owner was really friendly and started making jokes about the garden on the side. My friend who is from out of town was blown away by the pizza. Said " hands down best pizza I've ever had ". Makes sense why they are 2021 number 1 voted pizza in windsor. I think next time I am going to try the shawarma pizza because they were making 3 of them when we went in they smelled so delicious
Terrible customer service, the owner was very disrespectful towards us and other customers. Definitely won’t be returning (save ur money and order pizza pizza)
I have heard great things about Arcata pizza, and while in Windsor tonight, I got to try it for the first time. I ordered the Doc's Special pizza, and I was not disappointed! The crust was perfection, and the flavour was incredible. The owner Bob was super friendly as well! I will definitely order again.
First time trying this pizza to support the fundraiser for the Windsor Youth Center and my family loved the food, the garlic sauce was so delicious too!
They make excellent specialty pizzas. I love their chicken shawarma pizza, it’s truly unique and strongly recommend it. Some of their Italian dishes such as panzerotti and chicken parm with pasta are truly a delight! Very good team, with dependable delivery option.
Ordered a meatlovers, bread twists, and garlic dip. The pizza had some sort of bacon on it (at least that's what I think it was) that seemed to almost be glazed in something sweet. The best word I could use to describe the taste was chocolatey. It is the black spots on the pizza. The flavour was so strong that it through off the entire pizza for me. I ended up spending the time to try and pick it all off. The crust was also slightly burnt and the sauce was nothing special. The only good thing about the pizza was the cheese.
The bread twists were okay, again, nothing special. Lastly, I didn't care for their garlic sauce at all. It looked and tasted like a very runny Toum. Overall very disappointing.
Picked up Greek Keto Crust pizza tonight. The almond flour crust is just amazing, and really complements the abundance of delicious toppings on the pizza. Pleasantly surprised to find such a great tasting Keto Crust pizza locally. Will definitely be back again.
Arcata Pizzeria is absolutely delicious. Food is always prepared and cooked to perfection. Outstanding customer service and quick delivery! This is the best pizza in Windsor!
It's truly of the best pizza places in the city. Had a chicken pests pizza and a panzeroti. Both were absolutely delicious and don't really have any complains. Great quantity and quality for the price. A must try pizza place for windsor.
The best place of pizza in the entire Windsor Area! I must admit this place is the king of pizza in the town If you Pizza, you must try pizza from this place.
Really soft dough and crazy combination of sauce and cheese. Yummy and fresh toppings on it make it the perfect amalgamation of a never forgattable experience.
Very friendly and polite staff. Outstanding and efficient service. Great prices and delicious food. I have a family of 6 and we all just love Arcata. The breadsticks are a personal favourite! Bob (owner) has created a very positive and warm environment for both staff and customers.
Ordered through SkipTheDishes. Was called within 5 minutes of ordering telling me I needed to pay more for toppings that I had already paid extra for. Waited for an hour only to be given someone else’s order that unfortunately we couldn’t even eat due to dietary restrictions. Terrible experience, will not be ordering again.
I never had like this bad service before the guys was very rude it was terrible pizza we throw it on garbage also I can put zero star I will put but no choice
Double charged $56 for an order. Emailed three times over the course of five weeks - politely - with no response. Called twice - employee was very kind but had no authority to look into it and promised to advise owner. Still no contact from them. As a first-time customer I’m never going back. Raising dispute with my bank.
I've been getting Arcata ever since I was a little kid. To me, this is the quintessential Windsor pizza and the best pie in town. Don't let their amazing wings or garlic sauce (which they sell by the bottle) get past you either!
Best pizza we ever tasted, everything about the pizza was perfect. From now on this is our go to pizza place for sure The owner is a very nice guy as well
Pizza is the best in Windsor I’m 65 and been to most pizza place’s Bob is very dedicated and friendly to every customer. I’ve brought people here from Boston New York Montreal Toronto Michigan and they all love Arcarta pizza
This is hands down one of the best pizzas i have ever had and definitely the best in Windsor. Bob uses only quality toppings and every bite you will eat has plenty of this good stuff, this is why it is not a cheap pizza. The crust is also very good.
Tried this because of the news article where people ship this pizza around the country.
4/5 pizza, 0/5 for the customer service
1. Pizza and the food in general is actually very tasty. Very good pizza. However, Cheese Wheels and Naples are definitely higher quality for the price.
2. Everybody that works here is really rude. The person on the phone was short and sounded annoyed, the owner (or whoever's the cashier) was very rude, wouldn't respond to a thank you, a hi, anything.just handed the pizza over and didn't say a word. I held the door for an employee and again, not a word. This is cool, but not when you run a business. You can't treat your customers like this. You need to be extremely polite to people that you want money from.
Anyways. It's good but it's nowhere near ship-across-Canada good. Naples is better. This costs more too. And you get treated not so great here.
Would only recommend if you don't care about spending too much and being treated poorly.update: changed to 1 star because they really just are so rude.no excuse
I was looking for lunch options on Dougall, and I walked in looking to see if they offered a slice or two for lunch. Owner was very friendly, offered me 3 large slices with a drink for 5.65, can't beat that if you ask me
One of the worst places I have ever been to. The owner of the place has no sense of handling customers and is always shouting on someone while customers are at his place. On the top of that he has no respect today's certain customers and is very disrespectful in many sense. Its because I wanted to write down review i have to give 1 star otherwise i would not at all give him any star.
Such a bad bad experience I have ever had. Will never ever go to that place again. Hope this review helps and they will start showing some respect to customers which I bet is never going to happen.
I LOVE THIS PIZZA PLACE! Its literally the BEST pizza place in windsor. I love their garlic sauce its soo good with the pizza. The delivery guy even asked how my dad was when he delivered my pizza today cause he was in the icu an he brought the pizza to us their. He remembered. Made my day.i will forever continue buying pizza here
I have been coming here for 36 years, have long since moved from Windsor but always come back for this Pizza. Thin crust, wood fired, literally the exact same pizza I remember as a kid. Large one topping $27.
