Pizza Pronto & Gyro House – Avalon

I am turning into a regular customer and still haven’t ordered the same thing twice. Great small town atmosphere. Quick and friendly service. I highly recommend the artichoke dip and pita bread.

We were passing through the area and decided to try this place. The pronto rolls were delicious! The service was amazing in a real person to person sort of way — kind and considerate like you were a guest not a customer. Even though they knew we were from out of town (won’t be back anytime soon) we were treated so well and the food was wonderful. I’m sad they don’t deliver to Florida!

My husband and I ordered a large cheese and pepperoni pizza. The price was $ 11.75, which seems reasonable for the size and quality of the pizza. The taste was very good and a strong 4 stars. The dough wasn’t too thick, the sauce was good, and there was plenty of cheese. Next time I will ask for extra oregano, but that’s just my taste. The place looked very clean and the staff was friendly. I’ll be ordering from here again.

Last night my family and I wanted some good Italian takeout and came upon Pronto on Unilocal.We ordered 3 pasta meals: eggplant, meat pasta, and chicken parm. They all came with AMAZING garlic bread, a standard small side salad and a huge portion of meat and pasta. It was phenomenal and we had lots of leftovers for a great price. I can’t wait to try more things on the menu. I also did the online ordering through Unilocal and everything worked out well. Super easy.

Service is fast and workers are friendly and polite. Took advantage of their online ordering though Unilocal and got to select our pizza and toppings which was nicer than calling in the order. Opted to pay upon pickup so very convenient.
Pizza is on the better side with fresh toppings and doughy crust. I was especially impressed by their specialty pizzas-​the broccoli cheese and bbq buffalo chicken were pleasant surprises and worth the extra money.

Pizza is ok. Not much around this area to choose from. Little slivers of pizza and not very doughy. It was good, but there are way better pizza places in the Burgh. Specifically, for a bit further down the road go to Doughboy’s in McKees Rocks.

I ordered through GrubHub recently, and was really disappointed. We got 2 burger, 2 fries, 2 drinks special. First of all, the drinks were missing. GrubHub reimbursed us for those. The fries were soggy, very obviously, pre-​frozen (not fresh) fries. The burgers were really gross. They were pre-​frozen boxed burgers, and barely tasted like meat at all. These were not even Bubba Burgers, which aren’t that bad. The taste resembled a bad frozen veggie burger. We couldn’t even eat them, and honestly we’re not that picky. We got «Jumbo» wings, which were exactly the same size as every other pizza place’s regular wings (not jumbo at all). They were okay. But they don’t put tin foil in their containers, so if the driver sets the bag on it’s side, you will end up with wing sauce all through your bag and on every other container in there. This is what happened to us. It honestly wasn’t worth the money we paid. I can’t vouch for how their pizza is because we didn’t try it, and since we’re never ordering from Pizza Pronto again, we never will.

I stopped by here two nights ago as part of a night where I would try three different pizzas in the Bellevue/​Avalon area. I called ahead and placed a pickup order of their XL cheese pizza and cheese bread special and was told that it would be ready in 20 minutes. 30 minutes later I arrived at the shop and my food was ready. Before I walked in the shop I did not know how extensive their menu was but all of the items were written around the pickup area. I didn’t notice the dining room next to the pickup area until after I had left the shop and gotten in my car. It looked pretty nice though with the only two people eating in it being a pair of Avalon cops.
Pizzas in general can be broken down into three separate components: cheese, crust and sauce. The crust on this pizza ended up having a medium thickness and while cooked through did not have any crispiness to it. Its sauce was definitely there but I couldn’t taste too much of it until I actually tried a little bit off of the pizza where it had a mild and decent flavor. Finally the cheese of which this pizza had a ton. Unfortunately it wasn’t too flavorful and I think that it actually covered up some of the flavor of the sauce. On the pizza alone I would give Pizza Pronto 2 stars. It’s saving grace came in the form of some cheese bread which was part of the deal that I got. Whenever I hear cheese bread from a restaurant a picture of some breadsticks covered in cheese is what comes to mind. I couldn’t have been further off from the cheese bread from Pizza Pronto. Here is comes shaped like a calzone, browned nicely on the outside with some garlic salt and Parmesan and absolutely stuffed with cheese. I can’t imagine eating a whole one by yourself as there was that much cheese in it. It was delicious though and I highly recommend ordering one if you even head here.
The bottom line for me is that I can’t see myself heading back to Pizza Pronto again for pizza with so many other places nearby. However I could see myself going back for some cheese bread and maybe trying something else on their menu like the surf n burger which is an angus beef burger with fried shrimp on top.

Stopped by for lunch since I was in town on business. Was greeted in front and directed to the dining room which was clean and well maintained. I was the only one in the dining room for the entirety of my stay but there were several take out orders.
I was served by John, the owner. He offered me the remote for the tv in the dining room. I ended up ordering a half gyro hoagie and fries with coffee to drink. The gyro hoagie was very good with delicious gyro meat and fresh toppings. The bun was perfectly toasted. The fries were pretty standard but perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside with a fluffy interior. Staff was attentive and quick to refill my coffee.
Prices were quite reasonable. Give them a try.

Location is not the best but we go there for the food. Tried their Greek, Buffalo chicken and seafood specialty pizzas. Great stuff great value for the money!

We ordered 2 pizzas and some sort of pepperoni bites for delivery. The call was placed at 6:11pm on a weeknight. The guy took a phone number and address and said it would be about an hour. We waited an hour and 15 min before deciding to call and check on the pizza. We were told that the pizza guy knocked at our door and rang the doorbell for 10 minutes and then brought the pizza back to the store. We received no calls even though they had our phone number. They didn’t even call to say they weren’t bringing the pizza after it was back at the store. We would have been waiting all night. They got a different delivery driver to deliver the pizza after apparently bringing it to the wrong address on the first attempt. By the time we got our food, it had been well over an hour and a half since we ordered, which was extremely inconvenient. The pizza was completely cold, and the bites were cold and HARD. We called to let the owner know what had happened, and he was extremely RUDE. He didn’t even offer an apology. We will never order from this place again. Back to Pizza Roma!

I’ve ordered twice thus far– both times for delivery. The pizza was average, not bad, just ok. The gyro was very good by pizza shop standards. The meat was high quality, though the sauce was just ok. Overall, a welcomed addition to the area.

This new location opened just recently in an area that has had difficulty keeping businesses. From what I can tell, it has been a hit in our neighborhood so far!
We ate inside Pizza Pronto on a Friday night, the same day that everyone in the neighborhood got menus in the mail. It was BUSY! So busy that I’m not sure the staff was ready for the onslaught of pizza customers. The take out orders seemed to be constant, and as a result the kitchen was slower than what they hopefully normally be.
Pizza Pronto is BYOB and has a handful of tables in a cute room connected to where the take out orders are picked up. We ordered several pizzas and shared… the Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza, the Spinach and Chicken Pizza, and a Pepperoni and Cheese. Everyone at the table loved the pizza, especially the crust. It is crispy on the outside and very soft and doughy inside.
The staff was extremely nice, but like I mentioned before, overwhelmed. Our pizzas came out at different times and we were waiting for longer than we expected for our food. That being said, I always cut new businesses and new waitresses a little slack in this area, so I’m not factoring this into my review at this time.
We had a great time inside the restaurant, and will definitely come back. It’s a nice place to relax and have a few drinks and slices before going out for the night. I also noticed they have a great gyro and fries special that we will order at home. I hope Avalon and the surrounding areas continue to support this new business!

Great menu and food was tasty. Loved the buffalo chicken sandwich and Taco pizza!
