    We tried a few things and everything was solid, but the white pizza definitely stole the show, so flavorful and perfectly done. The Hawaiian was good too, but the white pizza was easily my favorite between the two. We also ordered empanadas (spinach with cheese and short rib), and both were really delicious. The real standout, though, was the chimichurri sauce so good, it took everything to the next level. Micaela and Karen were super sweet and made the whole experience even better. Would absolutely come back

    Tried this place on a recent Friday night at 8:00pm, and it was a pleasant experience. It is located in Downtown Downey, which houses lots of restaurants, bars, stores, etc. There's mostly structure lot parking in this area, but you may be able to find street parking too. The ambiance of Avenue Pizzeria is quaint and quiet, compared to all of the louder bar/club restaurants nearby. It's a nice contrast, if that's what you're looking for. The staff were super helpful and fun to chat with. The pizza itself is decent, and they have a to-go window outside which is convenient.

    We love going to Avenue Pizza! Especially for happy hour the slices are half price during that time and a great little snack to have. My favorite size is the mushroom. I also really enjoy the meatball red pepper slice. The staff is super nice and I love going to try new flavors!

    Great happy hour special. Cute little pizza place right on Downey Ave. Fresh slices -- almost New York style

    Pepperoni pizza was fabulous! Went here on a whim thinking it would be whatever and it was amazing. Crispy on bottom and enough cheese on top, which is often an issue for me. Would definitely go back!! Maybe 8 choices at 7:30pm on a weekday plus empanadas.

    What a great experience. This pizzeria is a fantastic reuse of a former movie theater! I loved how they preserved photos and elements from the original theater. It gives the space so much character! The food was excellent! I got a slice of pepperoni and chicken buffalo pizza and both were delicious! It's always refreshing to see a space thoughtfully reimagined and executed this well. I can't wait to come back again.

    Good price, good food, $5 happy hour with piping hot pies and a classic pizzeria setting. There's a limited selection for vegetarians but what I could order did hit the spot, especially the marinara sauce that comes with the garlic knots. I cleaned that little container. And they weren't skimpy with it either. All the food are served steaming hot, soft and crunchy in all the right places. Nothing was too greasy or too cheesy to lick off your fingers after eating. It's a childish habit I'm not sure if I could ever quit. Where times like this, there's no justification on wiping all that flavor off. Perfect kind of place for a slice of NY nostalgia, just off the street, all that's missing is a cellar for stand up next door.

We got the 80 wings pack which allowed us to mix and match boneless and bone in, pick up to 8 flavors, and came with two large size and vegetables. The vibe is very sports bar forward. You can see a large big screen tv with sports on there and you can see the dodgers and lakers flag. Overall flavor - 5/5. All the flavor we ordered were made to perfection! Keep in mind these are made to order so it does take a bit for them to come out. Boneless - 5/5 surprisingly they were so moist and the protein ratio was extraordinary!!! I was so impressed with the quality. Typically these are over breaded, too dry, or both. Bone in - 4.5/5 the flavoring was definitely on point. Some wings were a bit dry, but I did notice they were the smaller ones that barely had any meat on them, which can get dry if they are mixed with the big juicy pieces Garlic Noodles - 3/5 this was probably the worst due to it being overly salty and a bit dry Seasoned fries - 5/5 fluffy, crispy, perfectly seasoned. Doesn't get better than that Zucchini fries - 5/5 perfectly crunchy and fried. There wasn't much seasoning in it but that was perfect because it came with the marinara sauce!!! Veggies - 5/5 it's just celery and carrots. Perfectly cut, crunchy, and fresh

But knowing what it used to be... and knowing that this will be one of my last chances to eat there for awhile (we're moving to Europe next month) makes it a little harder. First the bad: the Rio is my usual favorite. Tonight, my burger was so overcooked and just dry as the Sahara. The wings had odd places where I had to spit out the dry, overcooked bits. Overall, the wings were great - sweet Thai chile - but what were these weird dry spots? And really, shredded lettuce is terrible. Put a nice leaf of lettuce, or don't put any on there at all. Now the good: the meat is very good quality, and has good, beefy flavor. The wings that didn't have the weird crusty dry spots were very well cooked, succulent, and that sweet That chile sauce is so money. The staff is very nice, polite, and organized. The prices are in line with what you'd expect to pay for a better quality burger. And you can let them know if you want customization - or you can just go with Grub style (their sauce) or backyard style (mustard and ketchup). Overall, Grub is a pretty reliable meal spot, better than average by quite a distance. But please - don't smash the smash burgers so hard and so many times! It leaves all the juiciness in the griddle. I'm hoping that I'll be back one day and it'll still be there, making epic burgers and wings!
