YUM PIZZA! by kim k on 8/6/2010 via Insider Pages
Love, Love, Love this pizza! I did though try the pasta and was not happy. They are diffidently skilled pizza makers. I also like the area, location. Nice people, good pizza, what more do you want.

Good, but no hyperbole by Jeremiah I on 7/22/2010 via Insider Pages
VERY GOOD WOOD-FIRED OVEN PIZZA, no denying that. Love how the crust comes out. Good offering of gourmet pizza toppings. \r Service is usually very good (altho I have had one or 2 bad experiences over the years.) \r However, the off the…

A better CPK by Chip04 on 5/4/2009 via Citysearch
This is our default restaurant in Pasadena. Great pizzas (love their thin crust glazed apple with garlic), homemade soups (lentil and chicken/barley) and salads (mediterranean). Not quite as pleased with their the lasagna, but overall a…

Buono by marty c on 2/2/2009 via Insider Pages
I can only vouch for the wood fired oven pizza - its the best around. Avanti pizza is made with thin crust as in Europe. There is not the heaviness one gets with the chain pizzas. Try it - you'll like it!

Best Pizza in Pasadena by ChrisFoodCritic on 10/22/2008 via Citysearch
I found Avanti Cafe on Citysearch and it's by far the best pizza in Pasadena! I took my family to try it out for dinner and we loved Avanti Cafe. The owner, Bob, is especially nice and we loved eating at this restaurant. It feels very…

Not Great by Matthew B on 9/22/2008 via Insider Pages
In summary, the food was good (8 out of 10) but the service was horrible. Upon arrival we were promptly seated but no menus were provided & no drinks were offered or drink orders taken for 10 minutes. We had to ask about the specials which…

Best Pizza place!! by samaira on 6/6/2008 via Citysearch
After having pizzas regularly from Pizza Huts, Papa Johns, etc, I had vouched for avoiding Pizzas for dinner until one night we tried Avanti Cafe. The place has AWESOME pizzas!!.. Beats the other joints by a huge margin. We lived at Del…

A unique blend. by intlfoods on 5/27/2005 via Citysearch
Although I don't think they're Italians, but an overall great place for pizza. The wood-fired oven gives the crust a different taste. Do recommend it.

Excellent pizza! by phoenix_68 on 2/3/2005 via Citysearch
The pizza is a marriage of an innovative Wolfgang Puck creation and Casa Bianca's tasty but traditional thin crust pizza. Feels like a neighborhood place even though it's on a busy corner. Service can be a little inconsistent but generally…

Good Pasta by ili32 on 6/27/2002 via Citysearch
To be able to walk and get some good pasta- Avanti Cafe is a good spot. They are a little pricey but nonetheless a good place for food. Go there for lunch or dinner you will like it!!

magnifico! by jaepu on 5/17/2002 via Citysearch
Okay--I'll concede the Avanti Experience isn't the finest in the world. Service is friendly but inconsistent. Hit or miss on the appetizers, and the salads aren't even worth considering. The pasta is decent, if you must order a…

So-So Za by LesleyBalla_Citysearch on 5/14/2002 via Citysearch
Be sure to ask for well-done pizza otherwise it will come out soggy in the middle. The sauce is ok; good selection of gourmet toppings. The garlic rolls appetizer are great to nosh with a salad.
