We tried a few things and everything was solid, but the white pizza definitely stole the show, so flavorful and perfectly done. The Hawaiian was good too, but the white pizza was easily my favorite between the two. We also ordered empanadas (spinach with cheese and short rib), and both were really delicious. The real standout, though, was the chimichurri sauce so good, it took everything to the next level. Micaela and Karen were super sweet and made the whole experience even better. Would absolutely come back read more

The freshly made pizza was delicious they offer individual slices for $5 but it's a much better deal to order the entire pie for $30! The slices are pretty big too. The customer service was exceptional Shout out to Gabby and the two other girls that worked today :) read more

Had to show this spot some love -- everything was The empanadas were crispy and flavorful, wings were juicy and perfectly cooked, and the fries were fresh and seasoned just right. But the supreme pizza stole the show -- loaded, perfectly baked, and seriously delicious. You can tell they care about quality. Definitely coming back! read more

Sighhh. I was excited to try this place as I've heard good things about it. I went within an hour of closing and so I hope this is the reason it didn't meet my expectations. I had a slice of jalapeño pepperoni - it looked like it had been sitting out for a while and even though they warm it up in the oven, it still tasted old and overcooked. The empanada was also dry and the short rib lacked flavor. The spicy chimichurri was good! The alfajores were also delish! The ambiance is super cute and cozy. Next time I'll go closer to when the pies are fresh. I'd like to try some of their other unique menu items. Will def be back. Great location! read more

Tried this place on a recent Friday night at 8:00pm, and it was a pleasant experience. It is located in Downtown Downey, which houses lots of restaurants, bars, stores, etc. There's mostly structure lot parking in this area, but you may be able to find street parking too. The ambiance of Avenue Pizzeria is quaint and quiet, compared to all of the louder bar/club restaurants nearby. It's a nice contrast, if that's what you're looking for. The staff were super helpful and fun to chat with. The pizza itself is decent, and they have a to-go window outside which is convenient. read more

Pepperoni pizza was fabulous! Went here on a whim thinking it would be whatever and it was amazing. Crispy on bottom and enough cheese on top, which is often an issue for me. Would definitely go back!! Maybe 8 choices at 7:30pm on a weekday plus empanadas. read more

Good price, good food, $5 happy hour with piping hot pies and a classic pizzeria setting. There's a limited selection for vegetarians but what I could order did hit the spot, especially the marinara sauce that comes with the garlic knots. I cleaned that little container. And they weren't skimpy with it either. All the food are served steaming hot, soft and crunchy in all the right places. Nothing was too greasy or too cheesy to lick off your fingers after eating. It's a childish habit I'm not sure if I could ever quit. Where times like this, there's no justification on wiping all that flavor off. Perfect kind of place for a slice of NY nostalgia, just off the street, all that's missing is a cellar for stand up next door. read more

What a great experience. This pizzeria is a fantastic reuse of a former movie theater! I loved how they preserved photos and elements from the original theater. It gives the space so much character! The food was excellent! I got a slice of pepperoni and chicken buffalo pizza and both were delicious! It's always refreshing to see a space thoughtfully reimagined and executed this well. I can't wait to come back again. read more

Those New York slices are humongous. One or two are good enough to fill you up. I also decided to try the short rib empanadas and they were so juicy tender and even better paired with the chimichurri sauce. The service was outstanding, the two ladies Karen and Michaela were so sweet and accommodating. The place inside had spacious seating, but most importantly they have a special for two slices and a drink for $9.45. Check that place out for a bite to eat. read more

Avenue Pizzeria - Pepperoni, Buffalo Chicken - Pizza Near Me - Downey, California

Was a regular here a couple years ago. I used to brag that they had the best pizza in the world. Not sure what happened but they went to the opposite side of the spectrum tonight. Firstly I paid for my food, then was told afterward they didn't have the pizza we paid for. Then when we got our food to go, the empanada was literally raw. Straight dough with uncooked cheese. So I went back and told the guy cooking pizza and he handed me another half ass cooked empanada with his bare hands and no gloves. Cochino! Straight up nasties. Three freakin strikes within 10 minutes. And the dude had the nerve to have an attitude. I am DONE! read more

The pizza was delicious and came out nice and warm. The service was amazing, Chelly was very attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. I'd definitely come back! read more

I tried Avenue Pizzeria for the first time last week and really liked that they offer pizza by the slice it made it easy to try different kinds. The pizzas are delicious, and the staff is friendly. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Stopped by for work lunch, been wanting to try this spot since they opened. Weekdays are easier to visit when its not so busy. Tried a couple of slices, pep and the white sauce. Keep in kind when you buy by the slice they are pre-made sitting on a warmer then thrown in the oven to re-heat. Having this in mind pizza was still delicious. Lived the by-the-slice option as its an easier way to sample different signature types with diff toppings. Girl at the counter was nice and helpful. No issues there. Will deg be back with the fam to try a fresh pie. Pro-Tip: If you are ordering by the slice to go, order ahead. Takes about 10-15min to re-heat in the oven. read more

I love the 2 slices and drink combo for $10. Drink comes with refills. Great customer service.

This place is bomb. Incredible delicious beautiful place to eat a pizza at or get it to go. I have nostalgia of a great pizza place in Highland Park (Figueroa and York) named Luigi's Pizza. No longer there but it does live in my brain as a delicious pizza place as a young kid. This place has rekindled my brain cells as this pizza tastes just like Luigi's pizza and is just as good. Oh, they have beer on tap and wine. They have a big screen tv (they should make it larger) so you can watch a sports game while you eat a delicious pizza and drink an ice cold beer. Living in Downey I can say that I wasn't too impressed with another pizza place opening since for me Shakeys is the place (yea yea you may judge my pizza taste buds from this) but I had no choice but to try it since my daughter Daisy had her bday surprise party here. My wife set it up and my minds eye had a vision of how the place must look. Big was I wrong. This place is incredible. This may be my new place to chill and have a beer. The ambience is very nice and it's super clean. Finally let me say TRY THIS PLACE OUT. It really is a great place to get your grub and beer on. read more

Ate here today for the first time and food was really good. Ordered 2 slices of pizza (one slice is the size of 2 regular slices) --Hawaiian and a pepperoni with jalapeños. Both were good and had a thin crispy crust. Paired it with a beer on tap. Owners, I'm assuming, attended me and were super nice! Very hospitable and made the experience feel great. Will definitely come back. read more

Food was good and the service was excellent. They played good music and the energy was great.

We went here since we were in the area for another appointment and my son wanted pizza. It's very close to Porto's, which was a nice surprise, and on this Thursday evening, they were also having some type of street fair, so it was fairly busy the night we arrived. Anyway, the pepperoni pizza was $24 and you can add a topping for $2, which might seem high if you compare it to dominos or some other fast food pizza place, but their pizza was so much better and it was also pretty large for that price. They do sell pizza by the slice, but for the 3 of us, it made more sense to buy the whole pie and take the leftover home. Anyway, I really enjoyed this pizza and would definitely go back if we're nearby. I would say that it was a little on the salty side, and I only say that since when we finished, I was starving for water, but it was definitely delicious. Also, I thought service was nice overall and this is a place we would definitely go back on a regular basis if it were closer. read more

Great Service provided by Karen and Gaby. Excellent food. I Highly recommend to try the Margarita Pizza.

I had left a review about a month ago talking about my unpleasant first experience at this pizza place. I came back to Follow up because one of the managers had reached out after I sent an email. He said they would send me a gift card and I responded but never heard from him again. I see now that my review was taken down. But I can leave another one. Seems a little unprofessional that they'd do that. read more
