Omar's Pizza — Restaurant in Arcadia

I was apprehensive of this spot, after looking at the prices and some of the other negative reviews. I decided to take a chance because I was really craving a good calzone (insert Parks & Rec meme). Having used to work at a family-owned NY/NJ style that made calzones, my standards were set pretty high.

When I got my order of knots and the calzone, I was blown away. The Calzone itself was baked to perfection, the toppings were plentiful and the cheese gooey. Not to mention the seasoning on top to finish it off was nothing short of BEAUTIFUL. The knots were a bit smaller than I'd hoped for being 4 dollars but what they lacked in size they made up for in taste and seasoning. Marinara sauce is nothing to write home about but it's much better than the chains. The (presumably) homemade ranch was a little thicker than I would have liked but nonetheless was great. All in all, I'll be ordering here again. You guys have blown me away as a first time customer,...

Was surprised by the respectable prices. Ma & Pa pizza shops usually charge a lot more, as most people are fine paying for cheap corporate chain pizza made of mass-produced, processed ingredients from a factory. This is just better. Even with the cheap prices it was way better than expected. The $8.99 for 2 slices and a soda lunch special is perfect for the after school kids to meet up and hang out or study. My son said it was some of the best garlic toast he's ever had too. I will be returning. Edit Feb 2025: Son and I have been going after his AHS baseball games for a few weeks now. Not only is it $1 cheaper for the special before 3pm, everyday, but we just tried their cheese calzone and IT IS THE BEST CALZONE I HAVE EVER HAD. You can tell they take immense pride in their calzones. OMG if you live near Arcadia you really need to go here just to try...

Omar has been a family favorite for a long time. You can't go wrong with the pizza here. My dad used to go here all the time.

Definitely go with the white artichoke if you've never been. It's a super special pizza with unique flavors and sauce, I've never been anywhere with anything like it. I think the works pizza is usually my favorite because I love the red onions. They also have amazing cookies that are soft, chewy, and not too sweet. Definitely recommend eating these pizzas fresh and hot, that's the best way to have them.

The Bleu cheese dressing is the best of all the pizza places that I've ever been to but I'm sad that they didn't have their pesto when I went.

I would love to go back and try the calzones because I've never had a great calzone but I'm confident that they would make...
