#2
Avy's Pizza
7.9
A small neighborhood pizzeria that plays best as a deliberate pickup: one well-topped pie, served hot, with the crust and cheese doing the heavy lifting. It’s a repeat-order type of place when you want straightforward execution over novelty.
Must-Try Dishes:
Thin Crust Cheese Pizza, Sausage Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza
What Makes it Special: A small, local pizzeria that rewards ordering one focused, classic pie.
7.6
A neighborhood bistro where pizza shows up as a non-traditional but real part of the draw—especially for dine-in nights when you want comfort food with a fuller menu behind it. It’s a solid pick when your group wants more than just pie (seafood, pastas, and mains) but still wants a pizza at the center of the table.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lamb sausage pizza, Shrimp Alfredo (non-pizza add-on), Wings (as the table starter)
What Makes it Special: A full-menu bistro where the pizza can be the shared centerpiece.
