Ava Neopolitan Pizzeria

Another 1 star for this place. My wife wanted to give this place another chance after our last visit around a week ago. Went and stood at the counter where there were 0 customers and the staff just blatantly ignored us. The least they could've done was say they'd be right with us but nothing. After a couple minutes of them working like sloths on someone else's pizza they came to the register and said it would be 40 minutes. Thanks for letting us know while we twiddled our thumbs. This place is full of unprofessional and incompetent workers. Avoid this place at all costs, go to the more reasonably priced, never out of sauce, friendly and fast service palace pizza that's 0.4m away. They have literally never let us down.Edit for update: We left Ava 23 minutes ago, WALKED around lake mirror to get to palace pizza as I mentioned in my original review. We waited in line that was almost out there door, sat down, and had our food in 23 minutes, for a much more reasonable price, friendly service, and delicious. We could've went to Ava and back and ordered again in the time it would've taken Ava to make our order we wanted. Again, please avoid at all costs, go somewhere better. Ava is a disgrace to how amazing the joinery is.

I love this pizza.I'm shocked to see the average is 3 1/2 stars. It does take a long time to get, because they make it fresh. They warn you when you buy it that it will take 20-25 minutes. This is accurate. We got all our other food, finished it and then some before the pizza was even ready. But is it still worth it? Absolutely.My kids adore this pizza, which says something, because my oldest is a picky eater. We always get a margarita pizza. Even though it's personal size, I think this is something two people can split (although if you're one super hungry person you can probably make this a personal). It's very thin crust and you can taste the quality of the cheese. It is on the greasy side, but seriously, just dab off the grease with a napkin if you really care. I usually lean healthy, but I ate the piece with all the grease just to soak up the entire deliciousness. My suggestion is to order the pizza here first and then go to other places. You'll still get it last, but at least it shouldn't be a lot longer after the rest of your food. If you like pizza, this is definitely a place to check out.

Service was friendly, wait was reasonably, workers knew how long the pizza would take and let you know. (You also got a buzzer.) Loved the flavors of the prosciutto and goat cheese on the pizza. Love the wood-fired. Didn't love that the ingredients didn't go to the end of the crust, that it was one slice of prosciutto for the whole pizza or that parts were blackened. I would go back to try other things there, it was that good. Would just like a little more quality or finesse in the final pizza product for its cost.

We (myself, my two daughters and my nephew) got pizza while the rest of our family got other options. I shared the margarita and cheese pizzas with my girls and my nephew ate the cheeseburger pizza. We got three larges and when all was said and done there were only two pieces of cheese pizza left between the four of us.The bottom of my daughter's cheese pizza was super black on the first round but they remade it for her no questions asked which was nice. That way she was able to eat some crust instead of just picking off the cheese which is what I saw her doing before I saw that the bottom was all black.

OKAY, 5 STARS for the chicken bacon ranch pizza!!! I don't eat pizza often, and I prefer my pizza thinner and less greasy. I also love a personal sized pizza, so this was everything I wanted and more. I LOVED everything about this pizza. I thought it tasted delicious, the crust was great, and the ranch drizzle was the perfect amount for me. I have NO NOTES! This location is inside The Joinery, and I ordered about 12:15pm on a Friday. It didn't take long at all and came out hot. I haven't had Ava's pizza in awhile, but I think I'll be craving this exact pizza for the foreseeable future!

Amazing wood fired pizza located inside The Joinery-- Such a cool venue with a variety of food choices.

This food was meh. For $12.00 and it's a small pizza it wasn't all that. They ask for my phone number & I was thinking it was part of the order. They even ask for my name. I am thinking they going to text me once the food was done. _NOPE. They made the food and put it on the counter. the only two people at that booth were on their phone. Scrolling on their phone! No call, no text. When I walk pass the counter I was like is this order for me? They were like oh yeah! So I've tired two food booth at the joinery. Yeah, I continue trying other places.

Pretty tasty pizza! Not the absolute best but definitely a solid lunch option. None of the pizzas on the menu were calling to me so I decided to create my own pizza & went with a margherita pizza with prosciutto. It took a little time but I understood that since they use the wood fire oven to cook them. The prosciutto was so yummy. I wish it had a little more on the top but I also understand it's a fairly expensive ingredient. They did charge an extra $3 to add that, so in theory it should balance out. The crust was fluffy and perfectly cooked imo. I added some red pepper flakes and parm to help enhance the flavor, but I do that basically everywhere - I've found they all need a little spice! Beautiful outside seating area overlooking the nearby lake.

I was surprised to see a low rating. The Bestia was so delicious. With all the ricotta and mozzarella, you get that eye-watering cheese pull. The spicy sausage paired perfectly. The only recommendation, and it's a small one, is to use sourdough for the crust. The margarita pizza was also delicious. I added some pepperoni, and it was cooked just right. Despite the crowd, the service was pretty fast.

Employee was wiping her nose the entire time in the corner while she was working and two other employees stood around on their phones. Also they say they accept cash, but refused to take exact cash in dollars and quarters; totally disrepectful to my Wife while I was getting from another vendor otherwise I would have brought up the issue before she even bought her pizza. The pizza tasted good though, the employee wiping her nose didn't make it so we went ahead and still tried it; but the service and lack of sanitary practice was enough offense to leave 1 star.
