This location is inside a neighborhood bodega right off Lake Morton!

A gem of a restaurant…read more I didn't realize this is an order and find a seat instead of a sit down restaurant with wait staff, but I definitely appreciate now that you order and find a table because this means service is fast. We came on a Saturday at about 1250, I am glad we came later because all the tables were taken but one got up while we were ordering our food so we were able to grab it. There is outside seating as well, but if it pours the tables make it wet, even though they are covered. I think on a non-rainy day there are enough tables, but on a rainy day it does get busy inside so I would recommend coming either earlier than noon or later than one. There is a ton of street parking around. One street down there was even free parking so we parked there. There are so many different types of pizza with really interesting ingredients. There was a Caesar salad pizza, which is the one that stuck out to me. We ended up getting just plain cheese pizza for the kids. I love how they have slices of pizza so you can try multiple flavors if you want. We got a meatball appetizer with breadsticks. My older son loved the meatballs, there is pork so I can't eat it. He ate two of the meatballs, and my husband ate two of the meatballs since our younger son didn't want to try it. My older and younger son split the breadstick and my younger son actually liked it more than the garlic knots, so we will definitely have to do this appetizer again. We also got each of them a slice of cheese, pizza, which they both ate enough of to make me realize that we did need to get two instead of one and split it between the two of them. We got a side of fries which my older son initially thought was OK, but then said he didn't like it that much. I think we can skip the fries in the future, but it really depends on whether the older son really wants the fries or not. And my husband got chicken marsala with garlic knots. The garlic knots are amazing. There are absolutely soaked in butter and garlic, so it is the least healthy thing for you on the planet, but it is so worth it. It comes with three garlic knots and we ate all of it. The chicken marsala was very good too. We got it with rigatoni and it is a huge plate so we split it. I didn't get food because I knew that nobody would finish the food that they got so I ended up eating off of everyone's plate. This was definitely the way to go, we did have some leftovers, but I think if we skipped the fries, we wouldn't have had food to take home. The people working here are all very friendly and the food was really quick. They bring the food out when it's ready. They also have a full bar which I thought is great if you want to make this longer meal. I love this place and prices were super reasonable. I will definitely come back.

Palace Pizza is a solid four stars for me based strictly on the pizza and garlic knots. I didn't…read moreget a chance to try any of the pasta, although I have to admit it looked pretty delicious coming out. We tried several pizzas, including the pepperoni pizza with the garlic-knot crust, chicken Alfredo pizza, BBQ pizza, and Meat Delight. The pepperoni pizza itself was good, but I was a little disappointed by the garlic knots built into the crust. What's strange is that their regular garlic knots are completely different and AMAZING. Seriously, those were probably one of my favorite things we ordered. If the garlic-knot crust tasted like the standalone knots, that pizza would easily be top-tier. The BBQ pizza and Meat Delight were both pretty good and I would order either again. The chicken Alfredo pizza, however, was my least favorite. I personally didn't enjoy the flavor combination enough to recommend that one. The restaurant has that casual, old-school New York pizza/Italian joint vibe, nothing overly fancy, just a comfortable place to grab a slice or sit down for a meal. The staff was friendly during our visit, and everything felt pretty laid-back. Overall, definitely worth stopping in if you're craving pizza, but do yourself a favor and get an order of the regular garlic knots. Those alone are worth it. I'd come back to try more of the pizza and probably give the pasta a shot next time.

Instead of offering an explanation or trying to make it right, I was simply told it was The Joinery's decision because they're located inside The Joinery food hall.

If birthday rewards are being discontinued, any rewards that have already been sent out should still be honored through their expiration date.

She was incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful, and really made us feel welcome. I started with the bean soup, which was absolutely delicious--warm, flavorful, and comforting. For my main course, I ordered the salmon pasta in vodka sauce, and it was excellent! The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the creamy vodka sauce paired beautifully with the pasta. My husband ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was also delicious, and we had steamed broccoli on the side. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. We also learned that Palace is a family-owned restaurant and that the owner is Italian, which made the experience feel even more authentic and personal. Between the delicious food and Emerald's wonderful hospitality, we really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

Went and stood at the counter where there were 0 customers and the staff just blatantly ignored us. The least they could've done was say they'd be right with us but nothing. After a couple minutes of them working like sloths on someone else's pizza they came to the register and said it would be 40 minutes. Thanks for letting us know while we twiddled our thumbs. This place is full of unprofessional and incompetent workers. Avoid this place at all costs, go to the more reasonably priced, never out of sauce, friendly and fast service palace pizza that's 0.4m away. They have literally never let us down. Edit for update: We left Ava 23 minutes ago, WALKED around lake mirror to get to palace pizza as I mentioned in my original review. We waited in line that was almost out there door, sat down, and had our food in 23 minutes, for a much more reasonable price, friendly service, and delicious. We could've went to Ava and back and ordered again in the time it would've taken Ava to make our order we wanted. Again, please avoid at all costs, go somewhere better. Ava is a disgrace to how amazing the joinery is.
