Bravo Pizza of Avondale

The presentation and variety of items on display is impressive. It all looks beautiful so A+ on presentation. Each time I have seen it I find myself wondering how much food must get wasted at the end of the day to sustain this but how they run the business does not figure into my rating.
I have had the pizza on a few occasions and its not bad but it is just not great either. It is difficult to be specific about what constitutes a great pizza but you know it when you taste it. For me this isn’t it. I also tried the garlic knots on my most recent visit and those were really not good at all. They were very light, fluffy and brushed with a garlic oil. It tasted more like eating an oily roll than what I think of as a traditional garlic knot.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! First time AND LAST TIME customer. IT IS JUST AWFUL!!! We ordered early Friday night (about 4:45pm). Order was ready as quoted at 5:15 pm, but the food was almost inedible. The takeout service was ridiculous. There were boxes all over the kitchen — NOT MARKED. They left boxes of hot food out on the counter while looking — so long — I know they got cold. They finally found all of our boxes. We ordered Eggplant Parm Dinner (with salad and garlic knot) for $ 10. Eggplant was good. Spaghetti was tough — sauce was bland, acidic, sour and thick, like pure uncooked tomato paste — and otherwise tasteless. The cheese on the top was hardly mozzarella or provolone — it was definitely imitation cheese — hard and tasteless. The side salad was a joke — four little pieces of lettuce, one olive, half a cucumber slice. Ordered 48 BBQ wings for $ 24. BBQ sauce was good — chicken was mostly old and reused — some newly deep fried chicken mixed among the literal «garbage». 3 «small» pizzas FOR EIGHT DOLLARS $ 8 EACH — when I looked at them — they were the tiniest little things — and I complained — and the guy said — «well, they’re personal pizza»… for EIGHT DOLLARS. IT DOESN’T SAY «PERSONAL PIZZA»… IT SAYS «SMALL» PIZZA. I could have gone next door to the Acme and bought Tostino’s Frozen Pizzas for A DOLLAR and they would have been bigger and WOULD HAVE TASTED BETTER!!! RUN FORREST RUN!!! RUN AWAY!!! Don’t look back!

Stopped by quickly to pickup a slice of pizza and a Stromboli. The pizza was awful and had no flavor whatsoever. The Stromboli was pre-​made and must have been purchased as a frozen product from another vendor. If you are looking for a good olé fashion pizza parlor, this is not the place. We gave it chance and now we know it’s not for us. I hope this helps.

Bravo is definitely on my list for lunch in the area. After going here about a dozen times in the past 12 months, the service and the people who work there have always been very pleasant and friendly.
The food is a solid good with a wide range of overstuffed pizza options available every day. My hands down favorite though is an Italian torta sandwich with chicken that is a special and not always available.
Again the service has always been very friendly and appreciative of my business. It’s a nice touch that there always seems to be plates of zepoli sitting on the counter for customers to sample and I’d be lying if I said anything but that I have them both before and after lunch.

Ugh! The good reviews on here must be friends with the owner. Pizza sits out for long periods of time and is not edible. Noticed a steady decline over the past 6 months and the Avondale Bravo is officially cross off my list. Don’t order the Zeppoli’s unless you like sugar coated dough that tastes like onions!

If you want a good experience, go to the Bravo Pizza in OXFORD, PA instead. Here? Terrible food with terrible service. First of all, the dishes are left out for hours, uncovered and unprotected from flies and airborne debris. The cheese had hardened on the pizzas, and the meat was predictably hazardous. A party member ordered a salad, which was riddled with decaying lettuce and even insect holes. NOTHING is fresh. To make it worse, the service was horrendous. No one greeted us when we came in. We had to ask for service despite it clearly being a slow day and there being available workers (which appeared to be doing nothing but trundling around behind the counter). The workers looked absolutely miserable, like they loathed each other, their jobs, and possibly pizza itself. I saw not a single smile the entire 30 – 45 minutes I was there, despite making frequent eye contact with the workers myself. Very awkward. Not a lot of people would mind that, but they were flat-​out rude, and very obviously bothered and apathetic towards our patronage. One of them even made a face when asked for a vegetarian version of a pizza, which practically made my jaw drop. Unsurprisingly, the single polite request was denied. This is a terrible establishment and thus will only produce terrible experiences. Go to the one in Oxford instead.

Surprisingly bad — even for this place. Ordered a slice. Came quicker than expected so should have known not well heated. Cheese not even soft, forget about melted. Cold, but somehow at point of almost burnt! Self serve soda machine coke so little syrup looked like iced tea & tasted horrible. Giving up on this place.

Simply the best around. Hands down. If your just stopping by for pizza or need a whole meal. Check this place out.

Great pizzas by the slice if you like deep dish. Always super-​friendly service even when busy. For those that the crust it too «bready» you need to try some of their regular pizzas, they’re delicious!

A classic case of where I need a half star, but I’ll lean towards four here. Bravo has a tremendous selection of slices and other prepared Italian staples.
After many visits though, I really enjoy stopping in here with the family. Service is always great, and on the last visit .I opened my kids eyes to Sicilian pizza… just like how I grew up on it. As another reviewer wrote, lots of bready crust. but it works perfect on the Sicilian.
Slices are always generous and plenty to choose from.

Great selection of pizza by the slice. My very large meat lovers slice was heated quickly and brought to my table.
Toppings were great. The dough was too ‘bready’ for me, not a true crust in my opinion, but still very good.

This was my first and probably last time here. I found everything about this pizza to be kinda plain. The dough while fresh was kinda just under cooked. Toppings were all canned or frozen. Nothing fresh.
Where they stand out is variety. They offer a ton of combination’s for your pizza. As you walk in the door you will see a row of pizza’s on your left under the glass counter. Look a little closer and you’ll see 3 tiers of pizzas back there, all ready to be sold ‘by the slice’. I saw everything from a plain pepperoni to brushetta to buffalo chicken. Lots of choices never hurts, unless you can’t decide at all. :)
So not bad, not great either. Middle of the road utility pizza is where this one falls.
