What User likes about Pizzeria Avanti:
We've been coming here for 7 years every Friday night (except during Covid). Deceptiv simple, but excellent tasteful local source pastas and pizzas, with friendly, beautiful attention from the staff and the owner. Casual Vibe and perfect for families. Small but also large wine selection. A real jewel! View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Pizzeria Avanti:
Not worth the price. We ask for fries on the side. They gave us 2 or max 3 really little potatos in slices. The garniture on the top of the pizza was really poor too..almost no cheese and meet. Disappointing View all feedback.

Pizza was delicious, thin and love the burned crust edges. Not too cheesy or too much sauce. All around good.

I absolutely love this place! I haven't been here in years, but the experience and the high-quality food are just as great as I remember.

"It was ok, I had them in Monterey and the food was much fresher than the downtown location. I would recommend them still but if you're in Monterey go"
