Avalon Downtown

Great pizza and Italian food. Great variety of choices, just one of the best places downtown for that kind of food. They also have a bar... Amazing bartender there. I had the best martini I've ever had. I hope they keep that guy because he knows what he's doing. I ordered a dirty martini and watched him make it and it was like watching a painter creating a masterpiece. He let the glass sit for a little while with some ice and water. Then used good vermouth and gin which was shaken (not stirred). They also have this really tasty olive brine for them. I like that they don't use a traditional martini glass, they never seem like they hold much and even if you're sober they spill too easy and trust me, you don't want to waste a drop of this martini. It's served with some great olives on a bamboo skewer. I was very impressed by the skill of the bartender. I would definitely recommend going there if you enjoy different cocktails.

Terrible service different people making awful pizza take a look at a pizza called little taste of Italy sloppy and no meat which supposed to have 3 meats just awful! Look like they just barely put any meat on it the pepperoni was burnt! The dough was thick and dry, little bit of cheese! I did say something to them about how it seems different everytime I ordered a pizza!

Very loud atmosphere. Had to nearly shout at server to place order. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. The more appropriate name should be plain chicken and cheese pizza. The was a just faint hint of buffalo. Quite disappointing. Despite the bland pizza the crust was pretty good. After eating to took asking twice and waiting 15 minute to get our check.
