" A quaint little pizza spot that boasts delicious flavors! Tried the margherita and was blown away by its freshness. The cucumber salad was an unexpected delight too. Servers were friendly, but we did experience some delays. Overall, a satisfying meal that makes the wait worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Pizzeria Avanti was a delightful experience. I shared a pizza with my partner and the ingredients felt fresh and flavorful. The setting felt inviting as well. I was particularly impressed with how quickly our order came out. Our server was quite attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Will come again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a decent experience at Pizzeria Avanti. The pizza was alright, but not as flavorful as I anticipated. There are plenty of vegetarian options, which is a bonus! The service was okay but felt a bit disorganized. I may give it another shot but will definitely order something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were hungry for pizza and decided to give Pizzeria Avanti a shot. Unfortunately, it didn't meet our expectations. The crust was on the thicker side, which I didn't prefer, and the sauce felt lacking in flavor. Service was swift, but the food didn’t resonate with me as much as I had hoped. Perhaps I’ll give them another try with a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a relaxed dining experience, Pizzeria Avanti is ideal! Their wine selection complements the pizzas wonderfully well. We went for a casual evening and shared several pizzas, each one bursting with flavors that stay true to Italian roots. The only setback was the noise level; it can get a bit hectic. Overall, I would recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my visit to Pizzeria Avanti didn't live up to the reviews. The freshest ingredients didn’t quite blend together, leading to a pizza that was lackluster in flavor. The staff was polite, but we waited a long time for our food, which was frustrating. I think I’d like to give it another chance, but I may stick to the pasta dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Pizzeria Avanti was very mixed. The pizza was decent, but I've had better in Santa Cruz. The crust was a bit doughy for my liking, and the toppings didn't pop in flavor as I had hoped. The service was average; our waiter seemed overwhelmed. However, I’ve heard great things about their pasta and may give that a shot next time. Overall, it was okay, but I expected more. " (*Curated Review*)
