Avanti Pizza & Pasta

Love! Super nice, great food, fast delivery
Margarita pizza, spinach salad, chicken, artichoke pasta!!! Yum!

Incredible food!!! We have quite literally ordered one of everything off of the menu and never had something we didn’t like. Fast delivery, always hot, and fresh!

The pizza here is fantastic and the pasta was really good, as well. We had the Avanti special which had pepperoni, sausage, black olives, tomatoes and we added feta cheese. The crust was just the right mix of crusty and soft. The restaurant is small but feels really cozy and the staff was super friendly. We will be coming back!

Too expensive for the quality of food. I got the baked spaghetti which was nothing special, it was just your average spaghetti that a beginner cook could probably make. For $ 11.25 for a mediocre dish, I feel cheated.

Food and service are wonderful! Been there 3 times. First 2 times had their hot pepperoni sandwhich for lunch. Came with a salad (yum) or soup (also yummy). The sandwiches are so big you can easily take half home and enjoy a economic meal!
The 3^rd time we came was on a weekend so no lunch specials. We got adventurous and split the roasted cauliflower and broccoli in Alfredo sauce with mozzarella and parmesean cheese. What a wonderful treat that was. The veggies were perfect and the sauce was scrumptious. We also split some lasagne. Another splendid find! Again, the portions were large enough that we were both able to take home leftovers.
Avanti is our new go to place. Can’t say enough good about it. Our waitress Keri was excellent and the value of the food and atmosphere was over and above what we expected from this cozy little out of the way place.

Went here last night for Sunday dinner. Stood quite a long time at the doorway (place was empty except for 1 diner) and tables were pretty much all dirty. Finally the lady comes and wants to seat us right in front of the door. No, please could we have the back table away from the door? She cleans it off and we sit.
Had a little wine (ok, nothing great) and I ordered the Pasta Carbonara which was absolutely delicious! It tasted liked smokey bacon and the tomatoes were fresh. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
Husband had baked fettucine with meatballs (?) — not sure of exact title. He said the meatballs, though small, were delicious and the pasta was great!
Our meals were steaming HOT (Yes, thank you!). Salads we ordered were excellent, crisp and fresh, no wilted pieces in there. Garlic bread — yummo!!!
I would LOVE to give this place 5 stars if the service was a bit better but it is always pleasant.
I think part of the reason it’s kind of slow is they appear to do a mountain of take-​out and/​or delivery orders from their back kitchen. So maybe that explains it?
Anyway…will go here again FOR SURE!!! Yumbo!

With the Embassy Suites in Lynnwood still out of commission on most room service, I hopped on Unilocal and ordered Chicken Parm with a salad from Avanti. Delivery at 1pm on a Thursday took exactly an hour. No delivery fee! Salad arrived crisp and food arrived hot! The chicken parm and the garlic bread are not the best I have ever had but they were good. The chicken parm arrived with the chicken sliced up and mixed with spaghetti with cheese baked on top. The breading on the chicken was a bit heavy for me Serving size is huge and can feed two. I am sure I will get an opportunity to try these guys again and hope to be able to move my rating to a 5 as I try some new dishes!

How can I not rave about this place– yummy food, cosy décor and a super-​attentive hostess whose recos were just awesome! We simply loved Avanti. We were famished after a trek down to the meadows dale beach and were contemplating a trip to grandmas pizza to gain back all those lost calories. when hubby suggested Avanti, I didnt have very high expectations. Boy, I had under-​estimated the place by its exterior. Never ever judge a book by its cover, the experience reminded me. Their pizza and pasta was absolutely smashing. Avanti is now our favourite eatery. I am all for supporting local businesses, especially if they dish up such tasty food. Go for it, these are some of the yummiest calories money can buy

My boyfriend and I eat here often. Most recently in the restaurant, otherwise we always ordered for pick up. We have never been disappointed and the food is great. The staff always recognizes us and are super pleasant and consistent. They have a gluten free pizza that is great, my only suggestion is maybe they could get a GF pasta on the menu :)

We ordered pizza for delivery, pasta, and wings tonight. The pizza was over cooked on the top and under cooked on the bottom. I called to tell them, the girl on the phone was very rude and told me she couldn’t send out a new pizza because they were too busy. I asked for a manager but she didn’t have one working.
Overall: the wings weren’t terrible and the pasta was ok. Poor customer service. Defiantly not worth a second chance.

I used groupon. I like there groupon. I can use anytime anyday. I ate pasta & pizza. So good and sever was so kind. I bought groupon again.
Nice place

Avanti is our go-​to for pizza delivery. Love their pizza and have never been disappointed with other dishes (oven-​baked tortellini, chicken wings). Definitely recommend.

We love the pizza here! Especially the Lynnwood special. They always give us a discount on a large pizza and always arrive (for delivery) sooner than they quote.

Avanti is in my neighborhood, and I eat here regularly. I don’t usually choose italian food as a go-​to (I just don’t care for tomato sauces), but the addition of Mediterranean dishes and a decent selection of pastas with alternative sauce options, cinches it for me.
They deliver in my area, and I have had food arrive at both ends of their «45−60» minute delivery time frame. There was one occasion where delivery was about 15 – 20 minutes outside of that, but it was a Friday night and they only had one delivery driven then. I haven’t had that problem twice with them. Even then, my food was hot and delicious when it got here.
Their takeout/​delivery is good, but their dine-​in service is great. I don’t remember the hostess’ name off the top of my head, but she’s very friendly and super attentive. Our table was well taken care of each of the dozen or so times we’ve dined in.
If you’re looking for a restaurant that dolls up their food a lot, this is not it. The food comes out prepared right and on a plate or bowl or other dish. If you order a sandwich, you will get a sandwich on a plate. If you order pasta, you will get a (big!) bowl of pasta. If you want artsy parsley arrangements, bring them yourself. Or don’t. That’s weird. Don’t do that.
Either way, the thing you pay for, the food. It’s good. Nothing on the menu requires that you be super ‘adventurous,’ so if something sounds like it will be tasty, give it a shot. Put it in your face-​hole* and enjoy.
I’ve had a few of their sandwiches, from the pizza themed ones to the gyro, and they’ve all been good. The Tzatziki sauce for the gyro may come on the side, depending on whether you eat in or take out, so it may seem dry unless you put it in there the right way. Their pizza is good, but not the best thing on their menu. If I had to choose, I’d say that’s the Chicken Penne. The pasta always comes out just right, the sauce is great, and artichoke hearts are delicious.
Good local business. I’m happy to give them my money. Definitely worth a go.
*Disclaimer: face-​hole refers to mouth only. Do not apply pizza to eye sockets or nostrils. If there are other holes in your face, you probably put them there yourself and should know what goes where by now. Do not attempt to breathe or speak while chewing or swallowing. Actually, do what you like. I’m a reviewer, not your mother.

Gyro was a rip off, 1 (not overly stuffed gyro) for twice the price of anywhere else. Flavor was mediocre, a bit dry. The pizza is better than Pizza Hut ect. But the gyro just left a bad taste in my mouth if you will.

We tried this place during a power outage. They have their own generator, had power, & was delivering! We tried it out. They were fast (45 mins.) and it was really good. Had a warm dinner in a cold house over candles. :)

We ordered from Unilocal seeing it was one of the few places that delivered to us, not really aware of how far they were from us until we checked the maps the next day, huge first thumbs up for the far delivery. Second thumbs up is that even though we are across town, the food arrived hot. Heads up to anyone not wanting to wait– it took a little over an hour to get the food from when we ordered, but if you’re willing to wait, the food was defiantly worth the wait! We got a chicken pesto sandwich, a cheese pizza, and cheesy broccoli cauliflower dish. We all loved it and will definitely order from here again!

I love this place, I order almost weekly. I think they know my order by heart now. Heheh
The only downfall is they take a long time for delivery. 45−1hr minimum! Always takes awhile, but worth the wait and not having to cook dinner. ;)

Dinner tonight for three, delivered. Haven’t tried them for years, but ordered through EAT24 which was easy and worked great.
Pizza, Calzone, and an order of Alfredo all of which were really solid! They have more of a Greek-​Italian bent like so many other pizza/​pasta places up here in the Northwest, but they pull it off very well.
Everything was correct, hot, and delicious. LOTS of Toppings, Calzone crammed full of pepperoni, on and on.
Not fancy, but serious food!

Had to give it one star… I guess I will credit that to them having a clearly marked exit.
Went into Avanti’s today for lunch. It was a friend and I’s first, and last, visit. We ordered off their lunch menu, Each ordered a 7″ pizza with 2 toppings and a salad. The waitress took our order and couldnt remember what dressing we ordered for our salad, just a few seconds ealier. Said she was spaced out today and appologized. That should have been the first clue.
Ten minutes go by, and you can hear them in the back trying to get the pizza toppings strait. She comes back out and asks us again. We said, one pizza was meatball & mushroom, the other pepperoni & sausage. Finally gets that straight after 15 minutes of waiting, so we think.
She brings out our salads. At first I thought they forgot to put on the Italian dressing, but turns out it was so thin that it just bled through the salad and was a pool of straight vinegar in the bottom of the plate. No seasoning at all, straight vinegar. Ate about half and gave up. She comes back over to make sure we weren’t in a hurry.? We said not really. Granted we are the ONLY 2 people in the restaurant.
40 min after we ordered, our 7″ pizzas come. Both have toppings we didnt order, and when picking up the pizza the toppings just slumped off. The crust was soggy from the obviously watered down tomato sauce. And looked and tasted like frozen meats.
After discovering the pizzas weren’t right, I went to the back where there was probably 6 people standing around, and said our pizza order was wrong. She comes back out to show us that we ordered the Avanti special… PLUS the 2 toppings we ordered (?) Which we clearly ordered and pointed to the lunch special that was your choice of 2 toppings. Why would we order a pizza, this «Avanti special» then add 2 toppings that were already on said special. Obviously a misunderstanding on her part, but she proceeds to say «sorry you were confused», like 3 times. Are you kidding me? You are gonna argue about what we ordered?
At this point we had been there for almost an hour and didnt want to wait for another pizza. We told them we wanted to pay for our drinks and go somewhere else.
The owner comes out and tries to explain to us what happened, which wasnt even in question. I tried to tell her how the server treated the sutuation, blaming us for ordering wrong and being confused. She interrupted me THREE times! At this point we were DONE! Put 10 dollars on the table, to pay for our drinks and headed for the door. She insisted we wait for them to redo our pizzas to go, and we said no thank you.
I base my opinion of a restaraunt with three factors in mind. Food, service, and overall experience. This place was probably the worst dinning experence I have ever had. The food was mediocre at best, (the salad, and few bites of pizza), and the service was absolutly ridiculous.
Would not reccomend this place to my worst enemy.
This place IS a Kitchen Nightmare! Where’s Gordon Ramsey when you need him?
