Arni’s Restaurant has a long tradition in Indiana. In 1965 the first Arni’s opened at Market Square Shopping Center in Lafayette by Arni Cohen.
Arni Cohen always had a philosophy that if you take care of the employees, they will take care of you. This mantra has resulted in Arni’s Restaurants having a turnover rate that is a fraction of the national average. Almost 15% of the staff has been with Arni’s for over 10 years. In addition, Arni’s prides itself in providing a fun place to eat, with efficient service, and quality food at reasonable prices. The goal has always been to have loyal customers and employees.
Still just like every friday night in L-town growing up! My very furst culinary crush was with a small pepperoni pizza and a jar of dried parm. I think in 1983 you could get a small for $3.15 with tax. We used to walk to original loiaction at Market square from elementary school. Then in junior High after every home football game we would walk the short distance from Kennedy field down the last of 18th st. hill and around the corner. Arni's was such a big part of many kids formative years who grew up in Lafayette. While it ain't Italy
We have been going to Arni's since our Purdue days and we love their pizza and salads. Even though they have moved to 96th St. we have gone up there because we enjoy eating their pizza. Different look but still the same great pizza.
Was a regular at the 86th St. location for many years. It's a bit farther to the new East 96th location but worth the drive. Some of the "old" staff still remembered us. Great sandwiches and salads in addition to the pizza.
I started going to Arni's in West Lafayette while attending Purdue (Class of '83). Now, rarely we go to Indianapolis without going to Arni's for a BBQ pizza and famous Arni's Jr. salad. Arni's is still the best after all these years.
Arni's on 96th street has a great ambiance, especially in the bar area. The pizza has the perfect amount of sauce and toppings. The pepperoni and sausage are both chopped small so you get a ton of toppings in each bite.
