Aroma’s Pizza

I really liked my pizza so much that I had to find this place again after 3 months of being out of town. My pie was hot and savory. Service was fast and we had a huge serving of the broccoli salad which too was very good. Very inexpensive and the take and go pie was hot and fresh. Recommend to a friend.

I work nearby and I didn’t have much time for lunch so I ran over here for a couple of slices of pizza. Unfortunately, their pizza is pretty poor. It is pretty bland and the dough is really «doughy» and chewy. You can really taste the yeast. It is thin crust except for the edges where it is enormous — probably a good inch thick. The cheese has lots of grease pooling on it meaning they are using pretty cheap cheese that separates. The service isn’t that good either. You are better off skipping Aroma’s pizza.

This place is hidden in the Lowry building — walk past the Kindness café which is horrible and continue to the right to Aroma’s.
They make their own bread and I really like their sandwiches.
A half sandwich is really huge for me. I like their ALT (Avocado, Lettuce, Tomato) sandwich and their «super-​veg» — when it’s busy it can take a while and be fairly chaotic to order and wait for your sandwich and sometimes they get the orders wrong, (it’s that whole thing about not writing things down I think), but overall the food is actually really good once you get it and so is the soup.
The price is right too — I try to avoid the standard lunch hours since there are sometimes a million teenagers in the joint and I’m not a fan of crowded places with teenagers. Overall it’s good and there’s not much around there for a quick to go lunch except for Chipotle or the barf-​o-​rama Kindness café.

It is in a decent location but the whole experience was just so odd and awkward to me I have to give it 2 starts. I had the cold cut half sandwich, which is much too large to be a half to me, and the chicken dumplings soup. Both things were pretty good. They had some mammoth desserts up there but I didn’t try any and judging by the other reviews I didn’t miss anything. Here’s my gripe though, the ordering process was ok but the payment, pickup process was the most confusing sandwich purchase experience I have ever had. The cashier spoke at a whisper (in the middle of the loud lunch room), kept trying to give me my tray with only the soup, not the sandwich or the drink on it, then when I didn’t pick up the tray immediately she took it back to the other guys. The sandwiching making guys announced every one as the wrong sandwich, I’m being serious here, and that didn’t give me too much confidence I would be getting the right thing. They sneak mayo on the sandwiches too so watch out if you’re not a fan. It ends up being this cluster of people slammed into a tiny section staring at the counter waiting for their food. Just not an enjoyable experience.
The food is ok but seriously people, there has got to be a better way to pay and pick up your food. Every other sandwich place has figured it out, you can too.
