My husband and I stopped at Aviva Brick Oven in Warrendale, PA on a whim, and it turned out to be an excellent experience! They offer a great lunch menu called "Pick Two," where you can choose from a sandwich, personal pan pizza, or pasta (classic spaghetti and meatballs), paired with either soup or salad. There's also a soup-and-salad option if you're looking for something lighter. The lunch special is available Monday through Friday from 11 to 3, and the portions are so generous that we both had enough to take some home. The atmosphere has that warm, cozy old Italian restaurant feel, perfect for a casual lunch or date. Our waitress was very pleasant and helpful, making the meal even more enjoyable. Overall, Aviva Brick Oven was a wonderful surprise. read more

The buffalo chicken pizza used to be awesome! Haven't had it for a while and ordered one today and was so disappointed! Instead of grilled chicken they're now using breaded chicken nuggets cut up into pieces. Basically all breading and no chicken. There are lots of places to cut corners and restaurants to save a bit of money, but this definitely isn't one of them. read more

I purchased from the food truck at The Block's farmer's market. The margerita pizza had a cornmeal (?) crust. It was thin and crisp. The limited menu was a perfect size for the two (2) man operation. Would definitely eat another margerita pizza in the future. read more

I heard great things I ordered two pizzas. When I got home my white pizza was completely burnt on top. Will not revisit read more

The pizza was not cooked through. It tasted like eating raw dough, the cheese wasn't melted and the toppings just fell completely off when the slice was picked up. In one word, YUCK. When we asked to have the product fixed we were told that the oven doesn't get hot enough to cook it properly. This place used to be a gem, now it's sloppy, lazy and living off a past reputation that no longer exists. Will not go back. read more

Wasn't impressed with the food or service. Was expecting it to busier on a Friday night but got a table right away but waited atleast 10 minutes for our server. Pizza was like cardboard. Probably won't go back. read more

We have driven past Aviva many many times, but recently heard from our neighbors that this place is one of their favorite Italian restaurants in the area. We took note of that and made it our date night destination. I ordered the penne ala vodka and it was just as I expected it to be. Great flavor, noodles were al dente and the slice of bread on the side was a nice touch. My husband ordered the Aviva pizza and both of us really enjoyed it. It definitely had a little heat, and I am usually a wimp when it comes to heat, but it wasn't too much for me! haha! The service was pretty quick and attentive and the restaurant itself was cozy and welcoming. Given that we love a good wood fired pizza, we will likely be back in the coming months. read more

We recently had a wedding in a venue where we provided everything. It was a challenge that this catering crew aced! No kitchen, just a barn, and they made it seem easy and presented it flawlessly . I have had so many raves about the food! I have had so many compliments about the professionalism of the servers. If you have an event, don't think twice ! This resturant /caterer presented a buffet we were thrilled with! The short ribs and chicken Romano were top notch! Thank you Sue, Nicole and Jack for a job well done. Sue, you were a joy to work with and your energy is endless. Thank you everyone! read more

02-19-2026. Order was placed online at 1:08 was told to pick up at 1:55 no sooner. I got there at 1:44. Pizza was sitting on the counter by the register. Opened it up in my car it was cold and dried up. Waste of $28. They had my email and cell for updates. They could have said it was done and I would have picked it up. Especially when their original text said not to come in till after 1:55. I was just sitting in my car in the lot waiting for a message. read more

Came in for date night and couple weeks ago and really enjoyed our meal! We had great service, the restaurant has a nice warm ambiance, and the food was great! The pizza had a little bit of heat, but was still enjoyable and made for great leftovers day two. The penne pasta in vodka sauce was also great and the sauce had a nice rich flavor. Price point is a little high for personal pizza, but I think it was worth it and will probably be back. read more

Had their food truck pizza at an event and had to come try it out. My personal thought is that it's a little pricey. Albeit so, the food is delicious!!!! The red potatoes were just kinda burned and hard and that's coming from someone who likes crispy potatoes. The pizza was fantastic and my wife loved the penne al vodka. I really enjoyed my chicken parm sandwich the chicken was perfect. The side of sauce to dip it made it even better. We got 3 meals, a pizza, and a qt if soup to go with pop for all 3 of us and it was over $80. Little high but again we really enjoyed the food. Just makes it more of a treat when we can afford it. With the kids it wouldn't be doable but happy to have gotten to go. If you haven't tried them I highly recommend it. read more

5:45 pizza to go ready at 6:30 !!!! Everyone that walked in they said it will be a few minutes, we are pearly backed up. No apology. AND, they ask for a tip online as you order. For a pizza that is 45 minutes late. Never be back. read more

Togo's is delicious. I had the Rustica salad and Bianca pizza and my husband had the tomato caprese salad and meatball sandwich. The waitress was super friendly and on top of things. Definitely recommend read more

Tried three pizzas. Margherita only good one. Pretty small for $18 each. Better pizza places around

Food is always so good. Service is great. The servers really hustle. We always get the spinach & artichoke dip appetizer and cheese pizza.

WOW! We cannot say enough great things about AVIVA Brick Oven's Catering & Mobile Pizza Oven! We hosted a large graduation party for our North Catholic Grad, and every guest was blown away by the incredible variety of freshly made, hand-tossed brick oven pizzas. I know what you're thinking--pizza at a grad party? But trust us, it was a huge hit! In addition to the pizzas, we added entrees like chicken parmesan, mac 'n cheese, and chicken tenders--all absolutely delicious. The quality and flavor were top notch. The service was exceptional. A big shoutout to Scarlett and "Pizza Man" Justin--their professionalism and energy added so much to the event. In fact, several of our guests were exc!ted to hand toss their own pizza! So much fun. AVIVA is lucky to have such outstanding team members on staff! The planning process with Joe and Mike was smooth and stress-free, and Sue's help with post-party accounting was the cherry on top. Thank you, AVIVA, for helping us create a life-long, special memory for our son, our family, and our friends. We highly recommend AVIVA Catering for your next event. You will not be disappointed--your stomach, taste buds and guests will thank you! Congrats to NC Class of 2025. read more

I've been coming here for 10 years now. Has to be hands down my favorite pizza ever. I absolutely recommend their bbq chicken pizza. The only downside to this place is that sometimes you wait a little longer than your pick up time but that's usually on Saturdays. read more

Was told my pizza (the most basic of the bunch) would be ready in 45 minutes. I arrived 3 minutes early so I could pay ahead of time and hit the road when the pizza was done. My pizza wasn't ready and had to wait for an additional 30 minutes. Other customers stood there waiting. From what I heard them say, this seems to be a regular occurrence. This place has been open for over 12 years and they still can't plan, organize, or schedule. If you want pizza from Aviva, either order before 4 pm or plan on picking it up 45 minutes past the time they tell you. read more

Okay! Haven't been here in a few years, since I haven't been this way in a long time. Was craving Italian and knew I'd been somewhere good before so I did some research and rediscovered Aviva! I walked in and, again the smell is amazing, was greeted by Melanie. She was very pleasant and sat me at a table. I asked about beers they had and she recommended a local IPA - Spot on! When she asked if I was ready to order I said "I'm torn. When I was in before I spoke with Jay and told him how good the chicken parm was and he said "next time try the pizza". I really wanted a meal though". She suggested I try the Ricotta Gnocchi and add chicken instead of meatballs. Melanie was 2 for 2! The meal came out and she said "I brought you extra sauce for the chicken (which was breaded and had cheese melted in it)". She was like my kindred spirit! This meal was outstanding and the garlic bread was spot on! Jay was out of town so I didn't get to speak to him. Hope he sees this and maybe I'll see you the next time I'm in town! Great Job Aviva, Melanie, cooks, and Jay!! 5 Stars!! read more

Aviva Brick Oven - Chicken Parmigiana! - Pizza Near Me - Warrendale, Pennsylvania

We've been to Aviva a few times and always had pretty good experiences, so maybe last night was a bit of a fluke. I ordered the rustica salad and it was delightful, with diced apples and walnuts. We also ordered the bruschetta, which was kind of dry and definitely needed something. The margaritta pizza was soooooo garlicky that it gave us indigestion. I think they added a ton of garlic powder to the crust or something. I'm not sure if I'd return next time I'm in the area, or maybe try someplace else. read more

Note: no pictures of pizzas-so good I finished by the time I remembered to take a picture. I dined here with my toddler and my parents on a Friday night. They say they use the Yelp join the waitlist feature; however , it continuously said live wait:0, on our way there but when we arrived we were told 15 minutes. We waited for about 25-30 minutes. While this was not a great first impression, it was smooth sailing from there. We started with the large rustica salad-Romaine, shaved Parmesan, dried cranberries, walnuts, gala apples, balsamic vinaigrette. The size was perfect for 3. My son had the kids pepperoni pizza which is HUGE! I had a piece the next day and it was A-ok. For the adults at the table, we ordered a Buffalo chicken pizza -Grilled chicken, mozzarella and provolone blend, Gorgonzola cheese, caramelized onions and house-made Buffalo ranch sauce. I highly recommend this pizza! It has a nice kick to it. We also ordered the Aviva- Crumbled hot Italian sausage, house-made fresh mozzarella, hot banana peppers and our signature red sauce. It was pretty spicy but I'm not a sausage fan so I didn't have more than half a piece. The crust is light and fluffy. Our server was super friendly and on point. I'd definitely want to return to try some of the pasta dishes! read more

Great takeout option in the north hills of Pittsburgh. Aviva Brick oven has a convenient location on 19 and even a separate "express" space, with its own entrance dedicated to take out orders. We indulged in the Vodka sauce pizza with sausage. The meat topping, combined with melty cheese & fresh herbs sprinkled on top made for a truly delicious pizza. I really enjoyed the vodka sauce as its much more savory and less acidic than traditional red pizza sauce. Also enjoyed the ricotta gnocchi and meatballs in red sauce. Tasty and well made, just what you are looking for in a hearty pasta dish. And now I am craving their pizzas again read more

Fast, friendly service. Great crust, quality toppings, decent sauce. Asked for a well done pizza and they crisped it to perfection! Had a bowl of creamy, chicken, orzo soup - it was scalding hot, tasted good once it cooled. read more

Delicious, fast and perfect for our 3 toddlers. We were in and out within the hour. From the hostess to the server everyone was attentive and efficient. We had the white pizza, vodka pizza (yum!), meatball and a side of butter noodles. Kids were happily covered in sauce by the end of the meal, scooping every last bit of the sauce by hand and finishing all of the crust. Such a great experience while passing through cranberry. Only wish there was a location closer to our home. Recommend 10/10. read more

The service and ambiance were great. Paying $31.00 for a 12 inch pizza is a rip off. Granted I did get 5 add-ons to a plain pizza but that is just outrageous. read more

We ordered up some curbside pandemic TO GO food last weekend. This was our first take out order as we were being super cautious about going out. We got a buffalo chicken pizza and a mushroom pizza with added pepperoni as well as beans and greens and appetizer meatballs. We had also ordered some brussels sprouts but ended up with someone's Italian hoagie and a side of roasted garlic potatoes. The pizzas were really good, as always. The beans and greens seemed like a super small portion compared to what we normally get in the restaurant but we hungrily ate them and enjoyed every morsel. We ate the meatballs with some pasta the next day and they were seriously delicious meatballs with perfectly light and tomato centered sauce. We will definitely get those again. The Italian hoagie was lunch the next day and it just so-so, to be honest. I love a good Italian hoagie but this was light on meats and heavy on bread. Hopefully we'll get to try their brussels sprouts at some point. There's always next time. read more

Bartender with short gray hair is very rude and not at all friendly! She made excuses for the BURNT pizza that took 45 minutes to arrive. The gnocci meal was burnt and hard on the bottom! The bartenders response "I didn't make it" Terrible service and food. We called the owner but he did not return our call. We will not return! read more

One of my top pizza places around. I'm not a huge fan of italian food, but I typically judge places based on a couple of key dishes. One of them is gnocchi, and there's doesn't disappoint. If you want to try a truly tasty pizza, check out the Aviva. Also, the Stromboli are delicious and can be hidden a bit in the appetizer section. read more

Everything was perfect!! Atmosphere. Good tasting food. Presentation was nice. Great service, not rushed, very knowledgeable of the menu items. Good recommendations. Prices were very fair. We will be back read more

From their pizzas, eggplant rolls and salads, if you want a pizza+ this is a great place. Given that Pittsburgh is truly a formidable city for its pizza, Aviva offers wonderful catering which I have used on many occasions. Their service is very attentive and read more

Ideas great. I had spaghetti and meatballs. If restaurant is full, it can be quite loud.

Although it was on a weekend night, we were seated immediately. We chose the outdoor. We ordered Eggplant appetizer, French onion soup, veggie pizza, and chicken Alfredo with added mushrooms. The service was nice and timely. The French onion soup was not the best you could get. Instead of a melted and torched layer of cheese at the top, only a piece of raw cheese was floating over a thin soup . Don't recommend it. The eggplant appetizer was ok. At best, good. The chicken Alfredo and pizza were very good. Fresh material and well prepared. Overall we enjoyed our meal and if it was not for the lousy French onion, I would give five shiny stars. read more

I was telling people how good this place was - I hadn't been here in a couple years But I came in for lunch on 8/2/21 and split a pepperoni pizza with a coworker The pizza was blackened on the bottom and the edge crust too much for my liking I asked if this pizza was cooked like this normally- the waitress said that it was normal and if I wanted a new pizza cooked less "throughly" Well we needed to get back to work I waved the new pizza off and finished over cooked one I seemed to remember eating very well here previously but today Oh the pizza was very good just a little charcoal flavored Over powered the toppings I don't know My coworker said they don't usually eat pizza cooked that well either But we ate it - so it wasn't that bad But... read more

Aviva ended up being a good lunch spot. The entrances are a bit confusing to me and the distinction between express, lounge, etc. They had a lunch meal deal for a 10inch pizza and soup. For soup, I got the wedding soup over the French onion. The wedding soup ended up being quite nice and flavorful. There were a bunch of ingredients in it and I liked it. It was served at a good temperature. Then I opted for the Aviva pizza, which promised to be a spicy house special. The meal deal says personal size, and I thought the size worked great. The pizza itself was not overflowing with cheese or toppings. It was a thinner crust. I thought all of that was great and worked for me. A tad more cheese on the pizza would have been nice but that was not an issue. I would normally take a bar seat, but their bar seats had this glass panel in from of them making the area rather cramped. It looks like a COVID protocol. There was a second bar too but I wasn't sure if that was that lounge or what. No real complaints here, would go get lunch here again. read more

Good pizza! I got takeout and ordered close to closing time and they still made the pizza even though they closed a little late

Had the worst experience with one of the waiters. This individual never introduced himself to our table, did not come over during the entire meal to ask if we needed any or if everything was ok. He didn't bother to remove plates that were empty and to top it off, he did not place one of the main meal orders! What he should have done ( there were many things) was to offer to comp the meal for the guest who did not get their food. Took guests from out of town here and left very disappointed. Have never experienced this before and hope not to experience it again. Someone needs to train this employee on how to treat customers! read more

For it being known as a pizza place the pizza is decent. I've had good experiences with the pizza and I've had other times where i didn't think it was as good. The pizza is crisp and all the pizzas are the same size. I do wish they offered different sizes of pizza as well. The salads and soup are really good. I suggest getting the caesar salad as the app as it is a really really good salad. The outdoor seating is nice and the service is usually pretty good. Overall it's a decent restaurant, nothing great but not bad by any means either. read more
