The Archibald

This place is a favorite of mine so this review hurts me but I have to be honest! I came yesterday (Tuesday) night at about 7:30 to break my fast from Ramadan and I had been craving their pizza for days! This is my second time having their pizza, the pizza menu used to have about 10 options but now only had 5 pizzas and I was told by a bartender that they used to partner with someone else and now they don’t so that is the reason for the shorter list. The pizza I tried previous was from the other list.. upon arrival the bartender also let me know there was only one bartender and if I wanted to order a drink I should order downstairs before going to the rooftop. She also said I would have to order my pizza downstairs. I ordered 2 glasses of champagne, a three meat pizza, and 4 Dom Pom’s (my boyfriend was also there and it was his first time and I been bragging on their pizza) the bartender told me my buzzer would ring and I would have to come back downstairs to get my pizza (which was annoying but whatever) obviously they were understaffed! My buzzer NEVER went off and I told my boyfriend to go check after it seemed too long, he goes downstairs and our pizza was just sitting there getting cold and I was pissed! I also seen a lady bringing other ppl’s pizza out to them and their pizza didn’t look too appealing, it looked as if they had been overcooked. I was praying that my pizza was perfect as I told the bartender it was my boyfriend’s first time so make sure it’s done right and low and behold the damn pizza was not only COLD but overcooked. The flash on my camera gave the pizza too much justice. The pizza was decent and still had a little flavor but I’m really embarrassed and disappointed because they could have done alot better. I’m not sure if it was due to their previous pizza partnership, they were understaffed or BOTH but it’s not right that consumers paying money have to suffer with cold and overcooked pizza! I paid $102 plus a $13 tip because I wasn’t super happy with the service. I have had great times at The Archibald and have left wonderful reviews in the past so I just want them to do better next time!

Everything about this place is great—the pizza tastes amazing and is clearly made fresh with quality ingredients. The ambience is really nice, and the upstairs area is especially chill. It’s quiet and comfortable, making it a great spot to hang out, play board games with friends, have a drink, and actually enjoy a conversation without loud music. The lighting upstairs is very cool and gives the space a relaxed, cozy vibe. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they care about their customers and the atmosphere they’ve created. It feels like a genuine local spot rather than a typical chain restaurant. The only small downside is that prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience make it worth it.

My wife and I came in from Abilene for a birthday party. We went looking for a nightcap at 1255, The Archibald was exactly a block from our hotel. I cannot begin to tell you how great this place is. The owner Garret, personally greeted us and was the most gracious host I have ever met in my time on this spinning rock. Kitchen was still open and stayed open until closing time. I wanted to buy merch and was gifted one of the caps with their logo(don't expect that gracious gift). We ordered the triple meats pizza to go but we didn't leave until they told us we had to go. Food......Amazing! Atmosphere.....Amazing! Cleanliness......out of this freaking world. Garret was on point and would have passed a Marine Corps field day inspection. 10 out 10 definitely coming here again.

This place literally has the best pizza, drinks, people and ambiance! Vibes here are the best! Literally. Idk if I was just sooo drunk or the pizza was the best I ever had in my life… first time I came after a military ball. And now I’m back for a second time after going to the nutcracker to see… hold on…. … …yep. Only had 2 drinks this time and the same pizza I got last time (jalapeño and spinach) and it WASSS HOT DAYIM GOOD! I woulda probably put some seasoning on it if it made it home, but I smashed It! At least u know u won’t get high blood pressure or clogged arteries eating it! 😋 highly recommend!

Great spot for some drinks! Excellent service and atmosphere for getting some drinks. Only reason for the 3 stars for food is that this place only offers Pizza, so if you are trying to find a place with a large selection of food, the I wouldn’t come here. But, if you want some good drinks, good music and excellent service, then give this place a shot! Of note: - Not a big deal, but I always like to recognize when establishments offer military discount. This place did not. - they do have a touchtunes jukebox, but it was locked, so you couldn’t play your own music. Although the music selection that was playing sounded good.
