“I donโt usually write restaurant reviews, but In Forno is an exception โ because I genuinely believe they serve the best Neapolitan pizzas in Cleveland. Iโve 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 โ and their legacy โ 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, Iโll admit, I was curious (and a bit nervous) to see if anything had changed. Iโm 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 โ each a masterpiece in its own right. But hereโs a secret: the best pizza isnโt even on the menu. Do yourself a favor โ 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, Iโm not the only one who feels that way. Chris and Nicki have done more than take over โ theyโve 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 youโll find anywhere in town.”
