    Chicken mushroom, red pepper, and sundried tomato
    Erika P.

    This is a review based on a DD delivery when staying at a nearby hotel and it was winter cold outside. I say all that because this pizza is very thin yeast crust that not many recipes are not the best in this cold climate because it comes hard and chewy. I feel it might have been different if it was fresh from the oven, and will definitely note the ingredients were freshly chopped and flavorful. My husband had the Stromboli, and his only complaint was that this was actually a calzone with sauce on the side. In other places, the Stromboli is on Italian bread more like a sandwich. Eitherway it wasn't bad, and was very filling.

    First time trying Nonna's and we LOVED it. It was a feeling of nostalgia for me and reminded me of a small town pizza place I had growing up. Dave Portnoy loves a nice, New York style slice. I, on the other hand, look for the most loaded pizza possible and this checked every box. Cooked to perfection, tasty and a quick dinner. They have a lot of fun menu items, like the stuffed breadsticks I have pictured. It present beautifully and does not come messed up even with delivery. Kudos to this staff, we love it!

    Lobby area can get congested with line backing up to order at the counter. They need to have table service.

    Our family strongly recommended Nonnas So Italian restaurant for lunch to us, which sits next door to Thorton's gas station off 267 in Plainfield. Parking is convenient with a private parking lot, just steps from the entrance. As you're walking to the entrance, you can't help but notice the large enclosed patio area, which will be great this summer. As you enter the small but lovely lobby area, you turn to your right to place your order at the counter. The menu is located above the counter area, and your order is delivered to your table. We felt rushed placing our order with 8 of us and 3 parties waiting behind us. Several of us had never been here before and required a few additional minutes to check out the menu. Seating is plentiful, and it's seat-yourself with booths and tables in one large area of the restaurant and a smaller seating area close to the self-serve Pepsi drink fountain. Request the carafe of fresh water vs. the soda fountain water, which tastes like the drink (lemonade) next to. This was one of the requests that was brought more than 1/2 way through lunch, and all 8 of us ordered only water to drink. Italian sodas and several coffee drinks are another beverage option. Nonnas menu offers a nice selection of classic Italian appetizers with original and stuffed breadsticks, Bruschetta, calamari, mozzarella sticks, and cassava fritti (a root vegetable similar to a potato). The pizzas looked incredible, and we were told the pizzas are excellent and not to be missed. Their New York inspired, hand tossed pizzas with homemade sauce are available in 14" and 18" with BYO (Build Your Own), Specialty and Vegetarian options. A nice selection of calzones and subs are also available. The Entree size Chef or The Works salad we ordered was a generous serving of fresh, crisp greens, sliced ham, salami, provolone cheese, diced tomatoes, black olives, cucumbers and slices of red onion served with your choice of one of their homemade dressings. The salads were fresh and delicious, but we had problems with every salad arriving with ingredients requested to be left off, and each person informed our server. However, only one was corrected because she was insistent. The server didn't seem to care when we acknowledged something wrong or requested more butter, napkins, or even a missing fork. I ordered the spinach and potato soup. I was excited to try until it arrived and appeared to be split pea, but it wasn't. Instead, it was the consistency of baby food with the flavor of browned flour. It was horrible, and I couldn't eat, and based on the concern shown previously from our server, I just let it sit. She never questioned why I only had a couple of bites and left. Nonnas offers build your own pasta or order one of the specialty pastas such as one of the chicken or shrimp alfredo linguines, Quattro cheese ravioli stuffed with 4 cheeses, meat and alfredo sauce, Pasta Primavera, Chicken Parmesan or Beef Lasagna plus more. Our group ordered the highly recommended Chicken Alfredo Linguine, and the others ordered the BYO pasta. Each said their pasta was correct and good. Each order was served with just one excellent dinner roll, but it was impossible to receive additional butter timely. A basket of rolls would be appreciated or serve with an additional roll with entrees. Even though I wanted to order Tiramisu, we felt it was not in my best interest. We most likely will not rush to return to Nonnas after the service we experience today.

    I have been looking for an Italian restaurant that is not a nationwide chain...And this place is it! I went there for the first time for lunch. They have multiple lunch options like spaghetti with meat sauce, Alfredo, cheese pizza which comes with a salad, a break stick and a drink. Overall value is great, but I wish they had add-on options like chicken, meat balls, sausage, or something. The service was quick and professional and I really liked the vibe there. Casual but has nice decorations and it's perfect for business lunch too. I'll return for dinner next time.

    I came here a few weeks ago with some friends for dinner. They were already there so I found them at the table. We had not been there before so were a little confused on how to order. We stopped someone and they told us we had to order at the front of the restaurant and she likened it to a Culver's or McAlister's... not something you necessarily want to hear at a local place that has higher prices than both of those locations. I went to the front to order and got a drink as well from the fountain and was given a number. They brought my salad first which was good and then my pasta not long after. The pasta was not my favorite but it was alright. My friend ordered the breadsticks and those were really good. Overall I was wanting more from the experience and wish they had it like a traditional restaurant.

    This lasagna taste like it came out of a can horrible. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the lady who took my order was super nice and the bread taste OK I will never eat here again. They call this Italian then im a watermelon

    I'd been curious about Pizzaville every since I passed it on the way out to my parents' home in…read morePutnam County. Located on the western end of Avon, Pizzaville is in a strip center with Parlor Doughnuts in the parking lot, Hotcakes Emporium a handful of storefronts down and a couple other cool storefronts. In case it's not obvious, Pizzaville specializes in pizza. They offer dine-in, carry-out, and delivery in select areas. They also cater special events. One of the things I noticed was large signage indicating a lunch buffet during the week ($11.99). There's accessible parking almost directly in front. The main entrance offers a weird ramp up to the door - despite having a ramp, I'd actually say it's not accessible because the ramp is at such a weird angle. I was able to get in, however, it took effort. It's much easier if you approach it from the parking lot rather than the sidewalk. Once you enter, you arrive at the ordering spot. The dining room is to your left. The decor is simple yet clean. As I recall, they serve Coke products. They do have Gold Peak Unsweetened Iced Tea in the fountain. They do also have some canned/bottled offerings. While I arrived on a weekend (no buffet), there was a $6.99 special that included a mini-pizza up to 3-toppings and a fountain drink. The prices can definitely go up, though I found pricing quite fair and definitely quite good. They have a handful of sides - I was tempted by breadsticks, but they are $5.99. I read a couple reviews indicating it's a pretty big serving - so, I held off this time. I ordered a mini-pizza with sausage and pepperoni along with my fountain drink. They were friendly and offered help. The mini-pizza is basically a "personal" pizza and it's on the smaller side. I was pleased with it and would easily order it again. I believe there's a side room you can reserve. There's single user bathrooms with grab bars. I can't quite go to a 5-star here. I enjoyed the meal immensely and will easily return. This is a solid 4-star experience with good quality and good value. I arrived late in the lunch hour - business was pretty light, though it was steady. I'm enjoying my journey through Hendricks and Putnam County. While it was initiated by a sad experience, it's introducing me to the communities of Avon, Danville, and Coatesville and I'm really enjoying that. If you're looking for a new pizza buffet experience, this is a solid one to try from Monday-Friday during lunch. Otherwise, they still have great specials and for those on a budget you can eat for under ten bucks by using specials.

    Still a great place for good pizza. We've been ordering pizza here since we moved to Avon. This…read moreplace is consistently meeting expectations with mini personal pizzas, family pizzas, cheesy bread/cheese sticks, and big group orders. Over the years they have expanded and remodeled to be able to accommodate a larger lunch crowd since they offer a lunch buffet. Prices are fair, food taste great, and customer service is always friendly. We'll be going back and you should too.

Every meal seems a little lacking and leaves you wanting a little bit more but the atmosphere and staff are nice which helps to balance the disappointment. We ordered the bruschetta as our appetizer, it was enjoyable but more olive forward than we were expecting. I ordered the arugula salad which did say it had spinach in it. However, it was a mainly spinach salad. I opted to add chicken to it and ask our waitress if the chicken was seasoned and worth the ad and she assured me that it was. Unfortunately it was not seasoned and it was very bland reminding me of the pre-packaged chicken pockets you can buy at Costco. Had I known I wouldn't have added it as it did not add anything to the salad. My friend really wanted the brussel sprout salad and apparently they did not have brussel sprouts so it was only romaine salad so she opted for a pasta dish instead. We appreciated our waitress giving us the heads up and confirming that she still wanted the salad with the changes that would be made to it. We ended the evening by sharing a tiramisu for her birthday along with an espresso martini. The dessert options were nice, but the espresso martini wasn't traditional; it was more Baileys-forward than expected. Overall, it's a decent restaurant for a casual meal but it hasn't offered anything that would make us eager to return or crave another visit.
