Ava's Pizzeria & Wine Bar - Cambridge

Me and my wife thought we were going to just stop in for a quick drink and started slow with some of their boardwalk fries- way more that me wanted to do eat, but the garlic aioli was addicting! We decided to stay and had some of their gluten pizza, and a salad - both first class! And then the home made gelato to finish! The place was very friendly all the people a the bar were local and friendly! And Lucy serving those of us at the bar war the best!! We need to come back!

A great place to meet new people and delicious unique pies! Service was great, fast and friendly. The menu is full of what you would expect from an Italian pizza place-for starters: meatballs, focaccia, sliders with some unique vegan gluten-free options including tomato bisque, which was very good. Additionally, they have salads and entrées. What you’re seeing below is the whole 29 garlic shrimp which is gluten-free and has spinach & roasted garlic and it’s delicious. I think I already said delicious once, but I’ll say it again! There’s a few sandwiches and now for the pies! I got the thin crust onion tart, which is caramelized onion, Iva‘s fresh mozzarella and crème fraîche drizzle. This is what I wanna say: I think this is a hidden gem because the pies they have are full of deliciousness. What we actually did was take the leftover spinach from the entrée from the garlic shrimp & and put it on the pie! Getting creative lol it was absolutely delicious too-just took the pie to another level (if that’s possible). So yummy! I would suggest asking well done if you’d like your crust a little toastier - mine was a little light, but I forgot to ask so that’s on me. Some of the other pies they have is margarita, Bianca, Caprese, but some unique ones include the mushroom tart which is mozzarella and provolone mushroom red onion, truffle oil, and arugula so you see it’s a fancier pie. They also have Detroit style, so Sicilian basically similar pies, but in that style. They do have a kids menu spaghetti, butter, pasta, meatball so everything ranges under $20 for the most part very reasonable. I couldn’t eat the whole thing so I took it home :-) If you’re looking for directions, they are across the street up a little bit from where they used to be so if you’re familiar with Cambridge, they are not on that corner anymore and they’re next to the post office. It looks like they have a call ahead waitlist for parties of 2 to 7 guests. You can call ahead and if you have a bigger party that’s 8 to 12 then yes they take reservations same day (at least 2 hrs ahead) according to their website. Very good and I will be here again!
