Ava - Charlotte: Reviews & Ratings

Phenomenal! Optimist hall is loaded with stellar options and I usually go specifically for one vendor. I’ve walked by AVA a few times and today was the chance to try it. This place was phenomenal and refreshingly different from other pizza options. I have to comment on the other reviews… It’s Neapolitan pizza and the cheese isn’t your daughters usual chucky cheese frozen blend- it’s FRESH, dense, and rich! And I saw complaints about price… my pizza was $13 and I’m not sure you can get through a Wendy’s drive through without paying a similar price anymore. Get over yourself All the toppings were amazing on my sausage pizza and the fennel steals the show as an aromatic flavor to balance the thickness of everything else. Ava has been added on my go-to list!

We made our way to Charlotte this afternoon and found ourselves at optimist Hall. We couldn’t make up our minds- I’m talking me and the husband so we split up & each picked up what we craved. I found myself gravitating to pizza & Ava. I asked the young lady at the register what her favorite pizza was and she said margarita so I went with it. I swear it felt like I was back in Italy in Napoli. Yes, it was that good. I only wish they had a more fresh basil on the pizza , it would really make a difference. And that sauce, oh yes! Just tasted so fresh! I’ll be back to try the pepperoni pictured here. Mangia translated in Italian means Eat up! Update 2/9/23 Had the Food Bae with chicken breast, mozzarella, cheddar, house ranch, scallion, and pickled peppers! Delish!

We love Optimist Hall. Great concept and lots of choices. We ordered the mushroom white pizza. It was pretty good. The crust was amazing. I would like a tad less ricotta but super tasty.

Simple pizza! Good crust, sauce is a little Xtra, with the seasonings. I always feel crushed tomato/salt is all that's needed for a true pie.

So many good options, but I’m very happy I chose the pesto pizza! It was absolutely delicious!! Perfectly cooked and will definitely be having again.
