We finally stopped in for a slice while visiting downtown Lakeland, and wow... I'm kicking myself…read morefor not coming here sooner. I'm usually not a fan of pizza by the slice, but I kept an open mind--and I'm so glad I did. My wife ordered the chicken Caesar slice and I went with the meat lovers, and hands down, this was the best pizza I've had in the five years I've lived in Lakeland. That's how good it was: the moment we finished our slices, we immediately ordered takeout for dinner later that night. We got the chicken broccoli pasta, cheese tortellini, and a Stromboli that was literally the size of a large pizza box. Everything was absolutely incredible--even after reheating at home, it tasted fresh and amazing. This place completely exceeded expectations from start to finish. Incredible food, generous portions, and clearly made with care. I can't wait to come back and work my way through the menu. Highly recommend--this spot is a must-visit. Service was super fast and the atmosphere is pretty chill. It does get extremely busy. They do have a really nice seating area outside on the side of the building. It's somewhat secluded or you can sit in front of the restaurant to see the happenings downtown.

Both were quite tasty and we would order them both again. The salad was beautiful, colorful and fresh . Service was friendly and attentive. The dining room was a good size and decorated nicely.

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.
