I like that you can order delivery online with the eat 24 app, which will track your order as well. Their pizza was really good to me: I appreciate that you can get different kinds of crust (we ordered the thin crust). The sauce and pepperoni were flavorful and they don't skimp on the cheese. I also ordered a grilled buffalo chicken wrap. It's unusual to be able to get a grilled buffalo chicken wrap without having to special order (usually it's fried, which they also offer). If you are looking for something spicy, this isn't it. It is meaty and the chicken is good; I'm hoping that ordering it without ranch will remedy the two issues I had: not spicy enough and literally dripping with ranch. There were a few special requests with my order, but everything was correct. Happily, my pizza was delivered three minutes earlier than the estimate, however, the cheese had slid off the side of my pizza. I hate having to reconstruct my pizza, but it was good. I'd give them another try.

I always struggle to find a solid pizza to order when I move to a new place, but Arlon's has now become my standard place. I order delivery from grubhub.com and always just get a medium pepperoni so I can't speak to the location or their other items (which oddly enough include Indian items, Italian items, and standard American fare). The pepperoni pizza is consistent, has a good amount of toppings and the cheese to sauce ratio I prefer so it's perfect for me! Delivery is always pretty quick and efficient and ordering off grubhub is really convenient for me. The pizzas might be a little pricier than I'd prefer...but only by like a dollar or two so definitely not a dealbreaker.

Two stars for amount of food. ..it's a good amount! And Chicken Vindaloo was not bad (not great either). The Palek Paneer is TERRIBLE. I mean, it is literally like that yucky nacho cheese sauce with spinach and spices mixed in. Have never seen it orange ANYWHERE before. I love saag and was hoping for that yummy creamed spinach that I crave. This was completely incredible. The cheese curds seemed old....very rubbery. It has a decent rating so might end up trying something else, but will just refrain from the Indian food.

I had a pretty decent tomato bisque with chicken from Arlon's for lunch today. The only problem was it was supposed to be chicken tikka masala. I couldn't discern a hint of Indian flavor. But if i thought of it as a tomato bisque is was ok. The naan was also weirdly dense and greasy. Maybe more like chapati than naan? My mango lassi was less yogurt and more mango and sugar than expected, but those things are tasty so it was still good. Probably the best part of my meal. Definitely wouldn't eat here again--particularly given the prices. For $14 I'd expect my chicken tika masala to at least vaguely resemble the actual dish.

Y'all I can't stand that I have to give this place a bad review. We just moved into the neighborhood and at first hubby did not want to fool with this place. Location is kind of sucky. (Its in a small strip mall off of Falls Road with the worst parking situation in Baltimore...i've got a horror story to go along with this forsaken excuse for a parking lot). But..I was excited to pick our family's pizza joint. :) All was well for about 4 weeks. They have a great pick up weekend special...buy one large pizza get a medium cheese pizza for free! Awesome for a family of 6 with a preggo lady in it! One week we decided to venture out and get one of their specialty pizzas (large). More expensive yes, but hey...its the super bowl and the RAVENS were purposed to dominate!!!! So I got "The Works" and also ordered the free med. cheese pizza. The front young lady realized that I was asking for the free pizza with a specialty pizza (not exactly a part of the deal....but I--the customer--was buying a more expensive large pizza. She checked with the manager and he looked at her like Um duh...yes give her the free medium!). So all was well. Then in the past 2 weeks or so....the good life with Arlon's has gone completely wrong. Not sure if this older woman at the front 'desk' is new or we just have been blessed not to ever order when she's working...but such is life i guess. She's the kind of older (and by older I mean in her 50s) lady who seems to use pet names, honey, baby doll, sweet heart.......not in the sweet endearing manner, but in such a way that helps her ego feel bigger than the customer. How is this known to me??? Because its the way she sticks out her chest, doesn't make eye contact with you and roughs you off the moment your initial conversation (order) is complete. Geez....so one saturday I ordered my pizza; I was short 2 pennies. I went back to the car to get the money. I bring back a quarter and i held it up for her to take. Not only would she not take it but she looked at me as if I offended her. Fine...no big deal. I then asked for 7 plates. OMG you would have thought I asked for some indispenible item out the kitchen. They have plates, that I've gotten before. Once she heard my request she intially was like no, then i guess the lie didn't sit well with her so she turns to the back and asks the guys in the back for plates. These guys were extremely busy taking care of orders and just looked back at her like she was...slow...basically not doing her job. After waiting for another 4 minutes I took by quarter and left. Annoyed but fine. Then came this weekend. Hubby wanted The Works, mommy wanted the Free cheese with it. I called it in. It was the older lady on the phone. Ok. So I ordered The Works and the free med. cheese. She was like No, sweet heart you can't have the free medium pizza with the specialty pizza. I was silent.....just to let her response set into her mind. So I can't have a free pizza with a $15 pizza purchase, but I can have the free pizza with a $10/$11 pizza purchase................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... forget it i'll just take the works. My husband goes to get the pizza....even though I'm annoyed I had an exhausting preggo day and didn't feel like cooking so I got myself together to go back down to Arlon's after hubby got back. He gets out the car annoyed. ????? He said he got there and the pizza was near ready. He got a bag of chips and put it up on the counter. The pizza comes out and goes to the counter as well. The older lady takes his card and only charges him for the pizza... Their policy includes a minimum amount you can charge a card. She does not apologize. She tells my husband this rude, unprofessional, offensive story/excuse. "Oh no, I have kids in here all the time who try to sneak these bags of chips out of here. You snuck that bag of chips on the counter." What kind of BS is that??!!! So, my husband, well out of his 20s, spending much more than some kid from the school across the street, is now to be reprimanded for trying to steal a bag of chips???!!!!!!!! I had all kinds of words for this lady. And no, I'm not the cuss out, yelling type. I mean I was ready to rip her a new one to increase her awareness and critical thinking skills. But, Spirit wouldn't let me go to Arlon's. I went to a pizza joint closer to our house...more expensive...and less tasty. :( So guess what's off the menu until further notice...Pizza. Whew...that was therapeutic. I don't like ignorance. Now I just have to make the moment to offically complain to management. They've lost service and he deserves to know why. Undercover Boss I have a place for you to film!

It is very easy to be skeptical about this place. The location is kinda weird but make no mistake, this is a great take out store. I have eaten their pizza, Indian food, and quesadillas. All of them were high quality and delicious. They really do a good job with the naan bread and pizza crust. If you live near by this should be your local takeout spot.

Surprisingly enough, this place has pretty good Indian food. The chicken tikka masala is really good, and they have good mango lassis. My boyfriend and I order from Arlon's on a pretty regular basis, and while the quality of the food is almost always on point, the service can be hit or miss. Usually the people behind the counter are nice, but sometimes there's a grumpy lady and she always seems to not want to be there..... If you order carryout make sure to CHECK your order before you leave! There have been a few times when they've left items off of my order (and because my boyfriend went to pick up the food, he didn't check the order like I would have....). They don't deliver to my address, so all my orders are carryout (I use grubhub.com ). Because I use a third party service, if Arlon's messes up my order, grubhub will refund me or give me a credit for the missing items (HALLELUJAH! I HEART GRUBHUB). This is why I've knocked them down a star, because they shouldn't be messing up orders in the first place. Don't let me scare you, but please heed my advice and just double check everything so you can have a decent Arlon's experience! Also, they have a really yummy shrimp quesadilla if you're into that kinda thing...hmmm...I may have to have that for dinner tonight....

My boyfriend and his friends frequently carry-out from this place. When they asked me if I wanted anything for the first time, and I looked at what the place looked like and checked out the menu, I was skeptical. With such a variety and decent prices, how could it be good? But a hungry woman must eat. So I got some chicken tikka masala. It was great! I never thought this mediocre-looking place would have good food. I've now had their pizza, calzones, multiple Indian dishes, and wings. It's very close to where I live, the price is fair enough, and the Indian dishes in particular are both cheaper and more delicious than the local stores that specialize in it. Definitely would recommend. A note: their spice levels are mild, medium, spicy, and extra spicy. Take what you think you can handle and bump it down a level, because even the mild is hot.

Great little hole-in-the-wall carryout. Someone from my office stumbled across them and found out that they'd deliver, so opened up the options for group lunch at work. To be fair, I've only tried a few items. Really enjoyed the buffalo chicken salad (though I've never seen it on the menu). They'll do grilled chicken, but I always skip that healthy alternative and go with the "crispy" (love that guiltless word for "fried"). Add blue cheese dressing and you have a meal for one or two. I tried some of their Indian food last week - thought it a notch above others I've attempted. The chicken tikka masala was good, though a bit heavy on the cream. Loved the lamb saag - had a nice kick to it. The daal was also good, though I thought a bit undercooked. I'd ask them to kick up the seasonings a bit next time. Skip the raita, though. Had a strangely sweet taste.

I love hole in the wall restaurants, and very seldom do the Chain Restaurant thing. Arlon's is no effin' joke. This place ROCKS!!! I was hungry one night, and figured that I would go to the Papa John's Pizza place next door. After looking at Arlon's menu, I decided to check it out. I spoke with a very nice young woman named Sophia, and she suggested that i try the Steak Quesa Dilla, and the Chicken Tikka Masala. (My wife was hungry too). Sophia told me that if the food sucked, I could return it for a full refund. I said WTF,...and ordered both of them. Both were excellent, and I have been a fan ever since. Since then, I have checked out alot more on their menu....all of it is great.

The women at my job order from here all the time I just moved closer to my job so I decided to give it a shot so far everything has been good except for the nacho grande which I think they should take off the menu all together. ...... I ordered the cream of crab soup today awesome!!! I got it with a roll they usually serve with the salad for a delivery place it was very good

I had never heard of this place until we got a flyer stuck in our front door. We were a bit skeptical at first, b/c honestly, a restaurant that serves American, Italian AND Indian food in one place? Hmmm... But we gave it a chance, using a coupon for Indian entrees. They were surprisingly good! I always get Chana Masala, as it's my favorite, and it was tasty. My husband ordered the lentil Daal, which was also good, but a slight bit too salty. We asked for everything to be "mild" but their mild is still too hot for me! However, it was pretty tasty for a Sunday night take-out dinner.

This carry out gets absolutely ZERO stars from me. Being in the customer service business, obviously customer service is huge for me, and goes a long way. I placed an order for Western Fries and Wings. I was called AFTER the wings have been cooked and apparently my food was ready to go "out the door". The lady who I spoke with (she claimed she was manager, I sincerely hope she's not) told me they were out of Western fries and they could substitute something else for the fries. I explained to please cancel my order as THE MAIN reason we ordered were for the Western Fries. She told me couldn't cancel my order but could cancel the fries. I very politely said "No, please cancel the entire order." She then told me "Don't order from here again." and hung up the phone. I called back and asked to speak with the manager. She told me she was the manager. I asked if this is seriously how she handles business. She told me I made them waste $6 because they would now have to throw away the wings. Again, I politely said "It is not my problem that you called me after the fact you have already made the wings. If you were out of Western Fries, why didn't you just call me before making the food." She then said "I'll have them refund your money" and hung up the phone. Your customers should not be punished for your mistakes. In addition, how can you hang up the phone on a CUSTOMER and expect that to be OK. Not only will I NEVER order from you again, but I will make sure everyone knows how terrible your employees and so called "managers" are. Absolutely pathetic.

Just finished eating the fettuccine alfredo with chicken that I asked for spinach to be added and It was so terrible, thank god I was starving or I wouldn't be able to keep it down, with the over cooked (almost mush pasta) to the dry over cooked chicken, and the oh so bland sauce it is not worth the price I paid, also ordered the crab cake for $8.99 that came with some saltine crackers...it was disappointing (let's just leave it at that), also delivery was TERRIBLE, we ordered food around 11 am and did not receive it until 1:43pm. Overall I would never order here again...

I've rotated through a few of the delivery places for vindaloo, and was hoping for a good one today. Yelp's reviews seemed generally positive (albeit with a slightly surprised positive tone), so it was time to try Arlon's. Ordered online, and half an hour after the delivery estimate (so 90 minutes total, not too awful) my food arrived. The vindaloo was labeled "mild" on my receipt, which I had NOT asked for, and it was so bland that it was inedible. No flavor or spice! They definitely need to add a clarifier on their online menu to choose your heat level - not suitable as it is now. The naan was squishy and damp, obviously having steamed itself in the extra driving time. Called to ask them why it was brought "mild" and have never spoken to a more front desk - was left on hold for 10 minutes (after the phone was answered "Arlon's hold" and literally nothing else). Will not be ordering from them again - not as good as Kebab Stop for delivery, and certainly not nearly as good as our non-delivery favorites.

Samaa M.
It's hit and miss. The quality is not great. The chicken saag was very (no, really) salty. The naan was pretty terrible. The pizza was pretty good, but the dough was not properly rolled out, with the outside like a pan pizza and the middle like a thin NY pizza.

Got Shrimp Scampi, not worth the money I paid for. Shrimp were tiny, and it was bland tasting. Got two tiny slices of garlic bread with it that were very chewy and cold. Delivery was timely though considering I ordered online. Guess I should know better than to order Italian from a place that does a little of everything, because places like these can't be great at everything especially if they are known for Indian food. Pizza was nothing to write home about. Whole wheat crust but reminiscent of chain restaurant pizza. Ordered minced garlic, fresh basil and pepperoni and what do I see? Pepperoni! Where are my other two toppings? Not premium by any means and I did not even taste them. Coated it in the butter sauce for any kind of flavor at all. The breadsticks were even a bigger insult. Tasted like left over crust, could not taste any seasoning. All I can say is this is probably the best of the worst in the Towson area. Right there with Seasons Pizza.

We use Arlon's for delivery, specifically pizza, exclusively. The pizza is delicious and consistently flawless. The service is friendly and efficient. Their delivery drivers are quick and courteous. Easily the best place for pizza in our area, far and away better than Papa Johns or Dominos. The margerita pizza is the epitome of good pizza. We have no idea what it's like in the restaurant itself, or what anything else on the menu is like. For delivered pizza we can't recommend it enough, definitely try it if you haven't already.

All in all a great carry-out place. everyone that works there is very friendly. BUT don't go when school is getting out, it'll be packed with loud ass kids inside and out.. I felt sorry for the girl having to deal with that shit. But any other time of day or night its great ,I always call ahead of time to place my order (or you can order online), and give them about 10mins longer than what they say. The food is always good and great service ,and their mango lassi is off the hook!!! They have pizza, deli sandwiches, and indian food ...the chicken tikka masala is really good, and everything is pretty cheap. checkem out!! get the mango lassi ...won't disappoint!!!

Walked in and ordered 2 slices of cheese pizza. Lady who took my money never bothered to put the order in. After waiting outside for 10 minutes, I went back in and reminded her I had placed an order, she goes back back into the kitchen area and comes back to the counter to tell me they only have one slice of cheese and one slice of pepperoni. I had paid up front and I'm a vegetarian so I ask how long it would take for 2 slices of cheese. She goes back into the kitchen (which is in complete view of the waiting customers), says something to the guy in the back. Then I watch him pick off the slices of pepperoni while she stands there talking to him. He throws both the original cheese slice and the now modified cheese slice into the oven and she comes back to the counter to tell me it would be just a few minuets. At this point I told her that I wasn't really interested in the pizza that used to have the pepperoni on it, that I witnessed the entire thing, and tha tI wanted my money back. So then she says, (and I'm NOT making this up), "Do you want ALL your money back?" It's not like I ordered the pizza and a coke and I already had the coke, I had nothing so far to show for my $6.88. So I say "Yep, all my money back". She sneers at me and opens the register and gives me my money back. No "sorry", no "whoops", nothing other than a sneer. So if you want modified pizza and a sneer, I'd say this is your place to be.

So, I ordered online from Arlon's after reading the reviews on here and have to say I was disappointed. I ordered Chicken Vindaloo, garlic Naan and some Samosas. The Samosa's were the best part of the meal by far. The Vindaloo wasn't terrible, it was just near tasteless. I ordered it medium since I've never ordered from here before, but I felt like I needed to add salt to give it some flavor... The Naan was the most disappointing part. It's like an extre 45 cents to get garlic Naan vs. regular Naan. It looks like they just spread some chopped garlic on the regular naan and threw it back in the oven for 2 minutes. It also said 15-30 mins, and it really took an hour. I probably won't order from there again, although they have a pretty extensive menu, and if I had ordered it hot I guess it would've been more to my tastes. Still, a medium that has less taste than what I would perceive as mild seems off...

I'm pretty sure my house has stock in Arlon's at this point. Solid pizza, appetizers to curl your arteries' toes (please stay in for the night [since you won't be able to move afterwards] and try what i can only describe as CHEESE BOATS, which are supposedly potato skins but are actually perfect bowls of various melted cheese sludge) and decent wings with a plethora of sauce options. Their blue cheese dip has actual chunks of blue cheese crumbled in it, none of that watered down bullshit. My favorite Hampden-area pizza delivery option for sure.
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Because I use a third party service, if Arlon's messes up my order, grubhub will refund me or give me a credit for the missing items (HALLELUJAH! I HEART GRUBHUB). This is why I've knocked them down a star, because they shouldn't be messing up orders in the first place. Don't let me scare you, but please heed my advice and just double check everything so you can have a decent Arlon's experience! Also, they have a really yummy shrimp quesadilla if you're into that kinda thing...hmmm...I may have to have that for dinner tonight....

My boyfriend and his friends frequently carry-out from this place. When they asked me if I wanted anything for the first time, and I looked at what the place looked like and checked out the menu, I was skeptical. With such a variety and decent prices, how could it be good? But a hungry woman must eat. So I got some chicken tikka masala. It was great! I never thought this mediocre-looking place would have good food. I've now had their pizza, calzones, multiple Indian dishes, and wings. It's very close to where I live, the price is fair enough, and the Indian dishes in particular are both cheaper and more delicious than the local stores that specialize in it. Definitely would recommend. A note: their spice levels are mild, medium, spicy, and extra spicy. Take what you think you can handle and bump it down a level, because even the mild is hot.

Great little hole-in-the-wall carryout. Someone from my office stumbled across them and found out that they'd deliver, so opened up the options for group lunch at work. To be fair, I've only tried a few items. Really enjoyed the buffalo chicken salad (though I've never seen it on the menu). They'll do grilled chicken, but I always skip that healthy alternative and go with the "crispy" (love that guiltless word for "fried"). Add blue cheese dressing and you have a meal for one or two. I tried some of their Indian food last week - thought it a notch above others I've attempted. The chicken tikka masala was good, though a bit heavy on the cream. Loved the lamb saag - had a nice kick to it. The daal was also good, though I thought a bit undercooked. I'd ask them to kick up the seasonings a bit next time. Skip the raita, though. Had a strangely sweet taste.

I love hole in the wall restaurants, and very seldom do the Chain Restaurant thing. Arlon's is no effin' joke. This place ROCKS!!! I was hungry one night, and figured that I would go to the Papa John's Pizza place next door. After looking at Arlon's menu, I decided to check it out. I spoke with a very nice young woman named Sophia, and she suggested that i try the Steak Quesa Dilla, and the Chicken Tikka Masala. (My wife was hungry too). Sophia told me that if the food sucked, I could return it for a full refund. I said WTF,...and ordered both of them. Both were excellent, and I have been a fan ever since. Since then, I have checked out alot more on their menu....all of it is great.

The women at my job order from here all the time I just moved closer to my job so I decided to give it a shot so far everything has been good except for the nacho grande which I think they should take off the menu all together. ...... I ordered the cream of crab soup today awesome!!! I got it with a roll they usually serve with the salad for a delivery place it was very good

Rude, rude driver orders customer to come down and then shouts at me when it is his fault. Just absolutely ridiculous. I hope this business goes down to hell.

I had never heard of this place until we got a flyer stuck in our front door. We were a bit skeptical at first, b/c honestly, a restaurant that serves American, Italian AND Indian food in one place? Hmmm... But we gave it a chance, using a coupon for Indian entrees. They were surprisingly good! I always get Chana Masala, as it's my favorite, and it was tasty. My husband ordered the lentil Daal, which was also good, but a slight bit too salty. We asked for everything to be "mild" but their mild is still too hot for me! However, it was pretty tasty for a Sunday night take-out dinner.

This carry out gets absolutely ZERO stars from me. Being in the customer service business, obviously customer service is huge for me, and goes a long way. I placed an order for Western Fries and Wings. I was called AFTER the wings have been cooked and apparently my food was ready to go "out the door". The lady who I spoke with (she claimed she was manager, I sincerely hope she's not) told me they were out of Western fries and they could substitute something else for the fries. I explained to please cancel my order as THE MAIN reason we ordered were for the Western Fries. She told me couldn't cancel my order but could cancel the fries. I very politely said "No, please cancel the entire order." She then told me "Don't order from here again." and hung up the phone. I called back and asked to speak with the manager. She told me she was the manager. I asked if this is seriously how she handles business. She told me I made them waste $6 because they would now have to throw away the wings. Again, I politely said "It is not my problem that you called me after the fact you have already made the wings. If you were out of Western Fries, why didn't you just call me before making the food." She then said "I'll have them refund your money" and hung up the phone. Your customers should not be punished for your mistakes. In addition, how can you hang up the phone on a CUSTOMER and expect that to be OK. Not only will I NEVER order from you again, but I will make sure everyone knows how terrible your employees and so called "managers" are. Absolutely pathetic.

Just finished eating the fettuccine alfredo with chicken that I asked for spinach to be added and It was so terrible, thank god I was starving or I wouldn't be able to keep it down, with the over cooked (almost mush pasta) to the dry over cooked chicken, and the oh so bland sauce it is not worth the price I paid, also ordered the crab cake for $8.99 that came with some saltine crackers...it was disappointing (let's just leave it at that), also delivery was TERRIBLE, we ordered food around 11 am and did not receive it until 1:43pm. Overall I would never order here again...

I've rotated through a few of the delivery places for vindaloo, and was hoping for a good one today. Yelp's reviews seemed generally positive (albeit with a slightly surprised positive tone), so it was time to try Arlon's. Ordered online, and half an hour after the delivery estimate (so 90 minutes total, not too awful) my food arrived. The vindaloo was labeled "mild" on my receipt, which I had NOT asked for, and it was so bland that it was inedible. No flavor or spice! They definitely need to add a clarifier on their online menu to choose your heat level - not suitable as it is now. The naan was squishy and damp, obviously having steamed itself in the extra driving time. Called to ask them why it was brought "mild" and have never spoken to a more front desk - was left on hold for 10 minutes (after the phone was answered "Arlon's hold" and literally nothing else). Will not be ordering from them again - not as good as Kebab Stop for delivery, and certainly not nearly as good as our non-delivery favorites.

It's hit and miss. The quality is not great. The chicken saag was very (no, really) salty. The naan was pretty terrible. The pizza was pretty good, but the dough was not properly rolled out, with the outside like a pan pizza and the middle like a thin NY pizza.

Got Shrimp Scampi, not worth the money I paid for. Shrimp were tiny, and it was bland tasting. Got two tiny slices of garlic bread with it that were very chewy and cold. Delivery was timely though considering I ordered online. Guess I should know better than to order Italian from a place that does a little of everything, because places like these can't be great at everything especially if they are known for Indian food. Pizza was nothing to write home about. Whole wheat crust but reminiscent of chain restaurant pizza. Ordered minced garlic, fresh basil and pepperoni and what do I see? Pepperoni! Where are my other two toppings? Not premium by any means and I did not even taste them. Coated it in the butter sauce for any kind of flavor at all. The breadsticks were even a bigger insult. Tasted like left over crust, could not taste any seasoning. All I can say is this is probably the best of the worst in the Towson area. Right there with Seasons Pizza.

We use Arlon's for delivery, specifically pizza, exclusively. The pizza is delicious and consistently flawless. The service is friendly and efficient. Their delivery drivers are quick and courteous. Easily the best place for pizza in our area, far and away better than Papa Johns or Dominos. The margerita pizza is the epitome of good pizza. We have no idea what it's like in the restaurant itself, or what anything else on the menu is like. For delivered pizza we can't recommend it enough, definitely try it if you haven't already.

All in all a great carry-out place. everyone that works there is very friendly. BUT don't go when school is getting out, it'll be packed with loud ass kids inside and out.. I felt sorry for the girl having to deal with that shit. But any other time of day or night its great ,I always call ahead of time to place my order (or you can order online), and give them about 10mins longer than what they say. The food is always good and great service ,and their mango lassi is off the hook!!! They have pizza, deli sandwiches, and indian food ...the chicken tikka masala is really good, and everything is pretty cheap. checkem out!! get the mango lassi ...won't disappoint!!!

Walked in and ordered 2 slices of cheese pizza. Lady who took my money never bothered to put the order in. After waiting outside for 10 minutes, I went back in and reminded her I had placed an order, she goes back back into the kitchen area and comes back to the counter to tell me they only have one slice of cheese and one slice of pepperoni. I had paid up front and I'm a vegetarian so I ask how long it would take for 2 slices of cheese. She goes back into the kitchen (which is in complete view of the waiting customers), says something to the guy in the back. Then I watch him pick off the slices of pepperoni while she stands there talking to him. He throws both the original cheese slice and the now modified cheese slice into the oven and she comes back to the counter to tell me it would be just a few minuets. At this point I told her that I wasn't really interested in the pizza that used to have the pepperoni on it, that I witnessed the entire thing, and tha tI wanted my money back. So then she says, (and I'm NOT making this up), "Do you want ALL your money back?" It's not like I ordered the pizza and a coke and I already had the coke, I had nothing so far to show for my $6.88. So I say "Yep, all my money back". She sneers at me and opens the register and gives me my money back. No "sorry", no "whoops", nothing other than a sneer. So if you want modified pizza and a sneer, I'd say this is your place to be.

Average and decent NY style pizza for the Baltimore area. Certainly better than the Papa John's next door. Definitely not a mouth watering pie.

So, I ordered online from Arlon's after reading the reviews on here and have to say I was disappointed. I ordered Chicken Vindaloo, garlic Naan and some Samosas. The Samosa's were the best part of the meal by far. The Vindaloo wasn't terrible, it was just near tasteless. I ordered it medium since I've never ordered from here before, but I felt like I needed to add salt to give it some flavor... The Naan was the most disappointing part. It's like an extre 45 cents to get garlic Naan vs. regular Naan. It looks like they just spread some chopped garlic on the regular naan and threw it back in the oven for 2 minutes. It also said 15-30 mins, and it really took an hour. I probably won't order from there again, although they have a pretty extensive menu, and if I had ordered it hot I guess it would've been more to my tastes. Still, a medium that has less taste than what I would perceive as mild seems off...

Delicious pizza and the delivery guy isn't afraid of the dog! They don't skimp on the cheese and the sauce is great. Delivery was very quick but I live very close. I've ordered from here about 5 times now and every time has been wonderful!

I'm pretty sure my house has stock in Arlon's at this point. Solid pizza, appetizers to curl your arteries' toes (please stay in for the night [since you won't be able to move afterwards] and try what i can only describe as CHEESE BOATS, which are supposedly potato skins but are actually perfect bowls of various melted cheese sludge) and decent wings with a plethora of sauce options. Their blue cheese dip has actual chunks of blue cheese crumbled in it, none of that watered down bullshit. My favorite Hampden-area pizza delivery option for sure.
