Aria Pizzeria — Restaurant in Daytona Beach

I wish I'd found this spot sooner! We found Aria's from a flyer, and when you drive there, you could almost miss it in the Bellair Plaza between the two large stores. Don't miss it though. Take the trip across the bridge. This unassuming little pizza place should be busier.

We ate-in and were served by Brandi, and she was great, friendly, and attentive. Definitely an asset to the place. Menu was simple, but only and exactly what you need at a good pizza joint. There are some more food options, and well as alcohol, but we didn't get any of that. One thing that I liked was that you could order exactly how many garlic knots you wanted, not in batches of 6 or 12 or how other places want to sell them. Again, it's a little thing, but I liked it. The knots were fresh and tasted really great, the pizza was even better. Thin style, tasty ingredients, perfectly cooked, and priced well. Not too greasy like a lot of beachside pizza can be. We asked for it cooked a little well done, and they did, giving it that light crunch without burning it. The music was humorous and amusing to me, because it's definitely Italian traditional restaurant vibes, "when the moon hits your eye", and I liked it. Great atmosphere, clean tables and eating space, you can see the kitchen and it also looks very well kept, and even the bathrooms are very clean, more so than many big chain places. We went for dinner and for two it was around 25 bucks, and had some slices to take home, not bad at all. The lunch specials look really good too. I think it was two slices and a soda for 5 bucks if you pay cash (I think, don't quote me lol), and you can't really beat that these days. I really hope their business picks up, because I think the owner and staff do a great job and know how to cook! We will definitely be coming...

Pizza was good but our servicer was definitely distracted with who knows what. We went around the table with our drink orders and it was pretty easy. We all got water and one lemonade. She missed 2 people in our party and we had to ask her twice to bring water before she did. The waiter brought our pizza out and placed it on the table and then turned around to walk away. One of us at the table got her attention before she got too far and had to ask for plates to eat our pizza on. We also asked twice for the parmesan cheese that comes in the shaker, and it never came. The table next to use heard us and ended up giving us the one that was on their table cause they were finishing up with their bill and didn’t need it. Keep in mind this place wasn’t busy at all! It was our party and one other party next to us and when we walked in they already had their food and was eating. It just felt like we were very neglected as customers. But again pizza was good so maybe this place is good for a...

A Must-Try Pizzeria Under Fantastic New Ownership!

I recently visited this pizzeria and was truly impressed! The new owners have brought fresh energy and passion to the place—and it shows. From the moment I walked in, they were incredibly personable and welcoming. Their customer service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely focused on making sure every guest feels valued.

But let’s talk about the food—absolutely exceptional. I am from New York so I know good pizza . At Aria every bite was packed with flavor, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The crust was perfectly crisp, the toppings were generous, and the sauce had just the right balance of tang and spice. Whether you’re a pizza connoisseur or just craving something delicious, this spot delivers.

If you haven’t checked it out since the change in ownership, you’re missing out. I highly recommend stopping by—you’ll taste the difference, and you’ll definitely want...
