Armando’s, you’re what pizza used to be. Before the shortcuts, before the gimmicks—just pure, undeniable craftsmanship. The moment you step inside, the smell alone tells you everything you need to know. It’s that deep, rich, almost nostalgic aroma of dough baking to perfection, tangy tomato sauce simmering, cheese bubbling under just the right amount of heat. If there were a dictionary entry for the smell of pizza, this place would be the definition. And the pizza? It doesn’t try too hard. It doesn’t have to. A crisp yet chewy crust, a sauce that’s bold but never overpowering, cheese that stretches just right, and toppings that taste like they were picked with intention. Every slice reminds you why pizza became America’s favorite food in the first place. This place has been a staple in Zebulon for years. I was a customer when the old owners ran it, and I’m still here today because they’ve kept the heart of the place alive while making it even better. There’s no reason to hold back the fifth star. Armando’s isn’t becoming something great—it already is.
Folks...it's a small place and they have great pizza of all kinds. It is a very popular pizzeria so be prepared to wait a bit for your food. When you visit or even call in for your dinner keep that in mind. They all are working very hard to get you your dinner so please don't be angry I promise it is worth the wait. We go every Friday and we love the staff and their desire to please everyone.
Love this place! The food here is authentic and delicious! The portion size is huge! The owner was delightful, very present and attentive. We are so glad that he chose Zebulon! Location is downtown with convenient parking on the street and beside the location in a parking lot. The environment is clean and neat. This place will be a weekly staple. Highly recommend.
I live 30 mins away and crave their grandma pizza weekly! It’s incredible! Also their vodka sauce pasta Jersey style is so good with the sundried tomatoes yum yum yum!! We love this place
Best pizza in the wendell/zebulon area. Nothing comes close. The grandma pizza is perfect. My parents and brother like the regular style with mushrooms and pepperoni. The wings surprised me with how amazing they are! I don't care what you order here, it'll be amazing.
GREAT PIZZA! Stopped here while in town vising family and so glad I did. The white pizza is one of the best I've tasted. Light Crispy thin crust but NY style...super tasty. My mom's supreme style pizza was good as well. The owner was very nice and thanked me for my business. Skip the big chains for much better pizza.
Yall, this was our first time and I won't be our last! We lived up in NJ so we know good Jersey Pizza. And this is it!! Right here in Zebulon, NC! The Pizza was hot and crispy, the garlic knits had the perfect dough to butter to garlic ratio. We got 2 types of fries: plain & bacon cheese fries and both were perfect. Their homemade ranch was the best I've ever had! If you like Pizza, get here asap! We can't wait to try more items next time. Oh, we sat outside and they brought everything out to us. 5 Stars!!
Fantastic pizza place! Very thin crispy crust, true NY style pies. The sauce is rich and umami. I recommend getting the basil tomato and then just adding any toppings you want.
