I can't imagine what the last 2 reviewers are talking about. I have been going to Armando's for 4+ years and recently go almost every week for take-out pizza which beats any chain pizza - hands down! I have got to know the staff personally and they LOVE working there. Sometimes the owner talks loudly to the wait staff (in typical Italian fashion) so they know they have food ready to deliver but is NEVER NEVER rude! There is NO WAY Armando's substitutes pork for veal. (think "stupid" spells "SUBSTITUTES" incorrectly on purpose?!? probably not) The place is packed with return customers on weekends...can all those people keep coming back for bad food? This place is absolutely wonderful...don't believe otherwise until you try it for yourself. You'll become a frequent customer too!
- Pros: Consistently GREAT food - reasonably priced
- Cons: Weekends get pretty crowded

Do not spend your $$ here
by tellall12
I went there with my family 6 total. The owner is an embarrasment to himself for the way he treats his employees and his customers. We will NEVER EVER go to Armando's Ristorante Pizzeria located at 16611 E Smoky Hilol Road again.
- Pros: None
- Cons: The entire restaurant

Armando's subsitutes pork for veal
by eukan
I ordered a veal dish. Evidently, the owner thinks people in the Denver area are stupid. I was served a grainy white meat, dry and tough approximately 1/4 inch thick requiring a table knife to cut. - this is pork with the fat trimmed off. Veal is a gentile peace of meat, it is a pale white in color, fine grain, cut with the side of the fork, a slight dryness to the meat. Veal is not something this restaurant serves. In San Jose California, an Italian restaurant was closed by the board of health for cheating the customer in this manner. Armandos should close also. ,
- Cons: Cheating Customer's
