About Iavarone Italian Kitchen & Pizzeria

Iavarone Italian Kitchen & Pizzeria offers a variety of experiences for its customers. The pizzeria side is highly praised for its classic, thin crust pizza that is crunchy and never burnt or raw. Many customers consider it the BEST plain slice around and recommend the vodka Sicilian or pepperoni. The restaurant is known for friendly service, and everyone is usually welcomed without issue, even when seating is limited. The garlic knots are a popular highlight. The main dining area provides casual but friendly and thorough table service, with consistently good food that keeps customers coming back. The chicken franchise is highly recommended, often described as the best in years, with leftovers remaining fresh and tasty. The restaurant’s old-fashioned NY Italian style is appreciated, and the variety of options, including meatball and chicken parmigiana heroes, impresses guests. The only downside noted is that the bathroom is down a flight of stairs, making it less accessible for those with disabilities. The restaurant is located in a busy strip mall lot, which can be crowded during peak times. The presence of a friendly owner and a familiar face named Vito helps ensure consistency and a welcoming atmosphere.
