5 Best Pizza Restaurants near Avon

“I don’t usually write restaurant reviews, but In Forno is an exception — because I genuinely believe they serve the best Neapolitan pizzas in Cleveland. I’ve been a loyal patron of this little gem in Avon for nearly a decade, and every single visit has left me with a full stomach and a happy heart. For years, George and Elizabeth worked their magic behind the counter, crafting pizzas that transported you straight to Naples. This summer, they passed their beloved oven — and their legacy — to Chris and Nicki, the new owners, as they embarked on new culinary adventures. When I dined there this week for the first time under the new ownership, I’ll admit, I was curious (and a bit nervous) to see if anything had changed. I’m thrilled to report that Chris and Nicki have beautifully carried the torch forward. The menu and recipes remain intact, and the pies are every bit as divine as ever. My go-tos are the Celeste, Burrata, and Picante Quattro Formaggi — each a masterpiece in its own right. But here’s a secret: the best pizza isn’t even on the menu. Do yourself a favor — grab a seat by the chef's table, order a drink, and ask him to surprise you with something special. Watching that wood-fired oven at work while your pizza takes shape is pure culinary theatre. I often joke that if I had to choose my last meal on earth, it would be at In Forno. Judging by the smiles and overheard conversations from other diners, I’m not the only one who feels that way. Chris and Nicki have done more than take over — they’ve honored what George and Elizabeth built, ensuring that every bite still tastes like tradition, passion, and perfection. So gather your friends and family, and head to In Forno for a slice of joy, a dash of nostalgia, and the best wood-fired pizza you’ll find anywhere in town.“

“Nice place, with consistently good food, descent atmosphere, and normally good service. I was there during a volleyball tournament, where the volume of customers seemed to really slow everything down, but I guess it's to be expected, but only to an extent. I've been here a few times, and would definitely go back.“

“We ordered a large Extreme Supreme. The toppings were fresh, the crust was melt in your mouth cooked to perfection, and the extra cheese was just right. We usually order extra sauce at other places but decided not to at Master P and glad we didn’t. The amount of ingredients to crust ratio was on point. We took our leftovers home and ate them cold and the pizza was still bangin’ 😎. It was my first time enjoying a Master P pizza and I will most definitely be back.“

“Jets Pizza is one of our favorite pizza places right now. We usually love to find a good local place with solid pizza as a fun go-to place. We previously had one spot that was our absolute favorite but they ended up closing so we had to find a replacement that could compare. Jets has better pizza than most chain pizza restaurants, so it was a good switch. The fact that the staff are always so pleasant really helped as well.“

“Tried Antonio's Pizzeria on Detroit Rd for the first time. Bella, bella, bella! The order was ready for pick up when we arrived and smelled amazing. They were so friendly kind to us. The pizza was delicious. The sausage and hand cut pepperoni taste amazing. The crust and sauce were great too. Two slices and I was full. Can't wait to eat more tomorrow! Thanks for great pizza and great service, we will be back.“
