Pizzeria Avanti is a local favorite, known for its delicious pizzas with proper thin crust and fresh ingredients. This hidden gem has the least recognition among pizza spots in town, but many believe it is far better than others. The menu also features homemade gnocchi, fluffy and delicate, and tasty salads like the unique Brussels sprout salad, which some find irresistible. Prices are reasonable, and the restaurant is conveniently located with parking available right in front. Open for brunch on weekends, Avanti offers a great spot for a special occasion or a casual meal. Customers have enjoyed live music, adding to the atmosphere, and while service may start slow, it is friendly. The pizza, particularly the margherita with fresh sliced tomatoes, has been praised for its incredible sauce made from vine-ripened plum tomatoes. The wine list is excellent, making it a perfect pairing for a delightful dining experience.
