Reviews for A.R. French Pizzeria & Tavern in New Port Richey, FL

Ordered 2 pizzas for pick up.. Was given 45 minutes due to one of the pizzas being a deep dish. No problem, we had ordered this... a few times before so we were aware of the cook time. When we arrived to pick up, I was told the food hadnt been made and wewere told the kitchen did not receive the order??. The Hostess said no worries, they are making both pizzas fresh and my orderwill be ready in 5 to 10 minutes, that the kitchen will put our pizzas ahead of others. I then inquired on how they were ableto cook the deep dish pizza so quickly within 5 to 10 minutes. I was told the cooks had the ovens turned all the way up! Nowbeing that I've managed restaurants for almost 25 years, including 2 pizza restaurants, I knew this was a lie. First off, I didnot want a burnt pizza from from the ovens being all the way up, so I kindly asked them to turn the ovens back down to thenormal cooked temperature. Although I knew this was just probably the excuse they tell most people for why the kitchen forgotto make the food. I myself have used this line in the past when I forgot to put an order in myself. 10 minutes go by and andone of my pizza's came out and was brought to me. It was a large cheese and this was not the deep dish. Knowing the deep dishwould probably be another 20 minutes, I just asked for a refund for the deep dish pizza and I would pay for the cheese that wasready since it was already over an hour since I placed the order originally. After 2 different employees attempted to try andrefund my card for around 15 more minutes, I was told that they did not know how to do refunds. The manager on duty had my nameand telephone number and was going to let the general manager know the following day to give me a call to settle this. But, Iwould not have left this two stars if I had received a call at some point since the incident happened, but I've yet to receive acall or voicemail from any other management at the restaurant in almost a week.

Called ahead of time for a pizza an hour before closing. Had to wait a little longer than expected because they were busy. They... increased the size of the pizza for free and apologized for the wait. . Pizza was fine but toppings were a little scarce.Honestly this is a pretty good location and its worth a visit if you've never been here. Read more

A great little spot. The pizza was fantastic. The crust was perfectly crisp without overcooking the toppings. The wings are huge... and worth every penny spent. Large selection of beer and some TVs to watch a game. You can also sit on the either side away frombar. There is a dog friendly patio to enjoy food and drinks too. Great atmosphere here. Read more

To top it off Jared was just so nice and welcoming that he made it an evenbetter experience. We will definitly return after the great work from Jared! Read more

Great pizza! They have shortage of staff, but they did their best to make our service an awesome one ????

We had a great family lunch, and remembered to snap some pics of the food! Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Staff was... very friendly and made us feel like family. Love this place Read more

Well...ordered a Margherita and got the below...if you're thinking that's not a Margherita...you're right it's a basil pizza... because apparently the cook ran out of mozzarella so they sprinkled parmesan on it and called it a day....oh and it was cold. Soinstead of a Margherita we got a cold, limpy basil tomato sauce with sprinkled parmesan pizza. How do you run out of mozzarella!And if you do, why not let customers know instead of giving them this shameful atrocity?! ???? Oh and the order was supposed toget refunded but never was. So, word to the wise if you're feeling adventurous enough to order from this place (not sure why youwould) then make sure you check your order before you pay and before you leave... Read more

Delicious Pizza situated in a low key quite environment. My wife is on a diet and ordered a gluten free cauliflower pizza. I had... some. It tastes as good as it looks. I strongly recommend. Dog Friendly! Read more
