I've been looking for another pizza place to use as my regular spot. I have been wanting to try Monavala for a few weeks.
I was in the area so I dropped in to get a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and check the place out. I had a seat and waited for my sandwich, he said it would be about 15 minutes.
I could tell when he started making my sandwich because it smelled so good. I was facing their wall to wall refrigerators with a huge selection of sodas and drinks and saw the reflection of my sandwich going into the oven. Yum. When it was done they cut it in half and showed me before closing the box and bagging it up.
The two people working there were very nice and asked if it was my first time. I said I'd be back to get pizza next time and she said to try the wings as well.
I snarfed that sandwich down right in the parking lot. I wish I had thought to snap a photo but the sandwich was gone in no time.
The onions, peppers, mushrooms and steak was cooked perfectly. The cheese was nice and melted. The bread was hot and soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Perfect!
Best darn Philly cheese steak I've had in a long time. I'll be back!

The pizza at this spot is very good. I have no complaints about the pizza. Actually this is the first and only place that I've ever happened to that wasn't thin crust and I still liked it. I don't like a lot of dough but they cook this pizza so good that I don't even care how I get it cuz it's always good. I have barbecue chicken, buffalo chicken, meat lovers, margherita pizza, every kind of pizza and it's always good.
The problem for me is a delivery service. They want you to use a app called slice you use that app and every time you use it I guess they get the delivery person through the app or something. I'm not exactly sure how it works but what I know is that I live 12 minutes away from the spot but every time I order pizza it takes an hour or more for the food to get to me.so yesterday I had to order and call them later after an hour to find out why the food hadn't got to me and the lady said she would send me a free cake and it would take 10 to 15 minutes to get to me. I had already GPS the place though and I knew it was going to take only 12 minutes for me to get to her so I said you guys haven't even left yet have you? And then she turned around and said we're really busy we're really sorry but we're really busy. That's the only issue. The speed that they get to you. It shouldn't take you an hour and 15 minutes to get to me when we're 12 minutes away from each other. Even if I ordered three pizzas like I did and you have to cook them and drive them to me or only 12 minutes apart so it shouldn't take an hour 15. That's my only complaint with this place other than that if you just want some really good pizza and you have time to kill, you should get it from here. It's very good.

I'm a regular and the pizza and wings are always awesome. In regards to some of the reviews about timing and delivery, it's a small locally owned shop that offers free local delivery at a low price. They aren't one of the massive chains, the pizza is worth the wait honestly. They're both always so friendly and helpful. Side note, if you want to order online, go through the Slice app and save them money on fees.

This is, hands down, the best pizza I have ever eaten in my life!!! Not only was the service AMAZING but the food beat my expectations by MILES!!! I would drive 45 minutes just to get the service and the food!!! Chicken wings included! The owners treated my daughter as if she was family! I pray that this business succeeds!!! Thank you so much!!!!

The food is really good but the delivery time is way too long. I recommend picking up
I ordered through the slice App which stated ready for pick up at 9:00pm. I arrived at 9:01pm and they didn’t even start the order yet. I ended up waiting.

This pizza place knocked Dominoes out of the saddle. Lately I've been unable to handle pizza , but that wasn't the case here . It was delicious . It didn't hurt my stomach . And they delivered . Great choice with not too much more in costs. Try it you'll like it!!
