Good pizza! Nice delivery guy and helpful phone order lady. We were at a hotel visiting from out of town on a Sunday night with limited options and scored with this place! read more

Pizza was just average. The pickle and ham pizza was TERRIBLE, the cheese pizza was average. (I love pickle pizza) With all the pizza in the area, I'd skip this one. read more

My mom and I came in on a late flight and we were looking for places still open to eat (it was after 11pm) when we got to our hotel. Aver's was right across the street, so we decided to give it a try. We weren't expecting much from a small strip mall pizza place, but we were very pleasantly surprised by how good the pizza was. Hearty fresh toppings, good dough, cooked well and not greasy. Plus, the gentleman making it was super friendly. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be my primary pizza stop. read more

This storefront is not like the mother ship. You cannot sit down to eat there. You can order the pizza on line and it will be ready for you. No fuss or muss. And the pizza was ready. And the pizza is great. read more

Aver's Pizza, North - avers pizza through the open car door - Pizza Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Great service, ordered pizzas for pick up on way to IU Football game. They were ready on time hot and delicious. Everyone loved them.

First time having Aver's, I tried their gyro pizza ! I definitely recommend ! If you enjoy gyros, this pizza tastes just like one. It's also a good substitute for someone who doesn't like marinara based pizzas. The price is great. Delivery was perfect. They dropped the pizza off at the door. Definitely recommend. read more

Aver's Pizza, North - Veggie Revival Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Great pizza, great price, great people, and open late. One of my favorite pizza places. I hope they come to Indy one day.

Ordered the crimson pizza and it was so good!! Potatoes and bacon on a pizza?? Yes please!!

Don't order online from them, bad service. Ordered through Grubhub and order went through. It even showed a driver coming to drop it off. It never arrived and after 40 minutes I called. They said they received the order but never put it through. Suggested I order from a different Avers closer to me... also never apologized. Avers uses their own delivery people so none of this is on Grubhub. Papa Johns is definitely a better option if you are looking to get pizza near by with a similar menu read more

Avers made my favorite pizza while living in Bloomington, definitely my top delivery choice. When I visit Bloomington nowadays, I still order a couple carry-out pizzas to take back to Indy and savor for as long as possible. I have Ft. Wayne relatives who have been known to transport Avers via the 3-hr drive from Bloomington to Ft. Wayne, due to their love for this pizza. I adore the gourmet toppings, dense buttery flavorful crust and signature pies, loving both the old school flavor combos and new specialties that Aver's offers. I also frequently ordered and recommend the BBQ chicken wings; I grew to love them as much as the pizza...almost. We ordered delivery a lot....a lot a lot...and the service and delivery time always met expectations. Pizza-wise, my favorite order was a 1/2 Cream & Crimson and 1/2 Cuban Black Bean pizza. The wonderful spicy cilantro pesto on the Cuban black bean helped provide a respite from the fantastic, but overwhelming flavors of the Cream & Crimson (which comes with bacon, gorgonzola, red potato, dill, cheddar...drool). I highly recommend adding jalapeño to your Cuban black bean pizza. Other favorites included the Lambda Gyro Pi, with its tzatziki-base, and the Beckon Desire, which had a lemon pesto sauce, artichokes & more gorgonzola. The only regretful thing about Aver's is having to narrow down your options and make a final decision....someone always gets hurt. It has been difficult to find comparable pizza of Avers' caliber in Indy. read more

Delicious. On family vacation we gave this restaurant a try and was not disappointed. For a busy Saturday night the delivery was fast. Food arrived hot and correct. The pizza was so good. The nacho cheese was delicious with the cheesesticks. It was a little more expensive than the chain pizza places here in Ohio but the taste and quality was well worth it. Will definately order again on our next trip. read more

Best pizza in town. Quite a few specialty pizzas to choose from. The gyro pizza is probably my favorite.

I mean I like their pizza and love that they are open late. However, I ordered the other night while I was working and had it delivered and specified where to deliver it. Instead they delivered to the completely wrong area and just called and said we left it outside. Thanks? Glad no one decided to steal it. Upset I tipped beforehand. read more

It's been many, many years since I chowed on Avers. Until yesterday. I added an extra vacation day to the long weekend, hopped in the car, and headed south. Two of my sisters are currently attending the IU Bloomington campus and, of course, there is Mr. Nephew as well. I foresee many a Bloomington adventure in my future. Which is how I ended up with this gourmet pizza yesterday. It was rainy and blah so we decided to order in. We ran through the usual suspects and settled on Aver's. For one sister, it was her first Aver's experience. Wanting some variety, we opted for two small pizzas. Of course, we ordered a Cream & Crimson. You just have to taste this pizza once in life. The second was the Chicken Masterpiece (aka BBQ chicken). Throw in an order of breadsticks and some soda and I'm catapulted through time to my undergrad years. I wish I could say my experience was a delectable as I remembered. The Cream & Crimson was definitely the highlight of the meal, but not the eyes-rolled-in-the-back-of-your-head experience I thought I'd have. The Chicken Masterpiece...didn't work. At one point, I pulled out a quarter inch chicken bone out of my mouth. I've decided to look at this as proof of the freshness of their ingredients. But I'm probably not going to be ordering chicken anything from Aver's anytime soon. That unfortunate experience aside, I'd say they make a pretty good pizza. Not fabulous and definitely not awful. They are right on the A-Ok target. read more

Nice variety. Really love the food. Best pizza in b-town. Try the buffet on the Eastside.

Ample toppings and nice crispy crust. Best part not overly oily! Sauce is rich and not sweet. Nice amount of cheese. This is a good Pie. read more

Great pizza options especially for vegans or vegetarians. Very expensive though. For instance build your own for Xlarge can cost you more than $40. And the consistency is off. I got zucchini slices so perfectly seasoned & cooked to perfection on a vegan cheese pizza that I wanted keep eating them despite being full. Next time they were overcooked and not seasoned but the rest of the pie was excellent! If you want to impress your friends or splurge Avers gourmet pizza is the way to go but "warning",check price before purchasing if you max out on the toppings! read more

Let me start by saying that if you like 'gourmet pizza' - Aver's is your kind of place. HOWEVER, I would argue that once you get to 'gourmet' it isn't pizza anymore. White sauce? Pesto sauce? Not pizza. Artichokes? Not pizza. Cheeses I haven't heard of before? Not pizza. I'm a purist! Pizza should be red sauce. Tomato, people. Mozzarella cheese! And the basic ingredients (think pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, etc. etc. - MAYBE pineapple, but that's pushing it) - and Aver's does a pretty good job with real pizza. Anything else may taste great to you, but it's not pizza. It's round and may look like a pizza but it isn't. BUT for those who like the 'non-pizza-pizza' Aver's is the best of the best in Bloomington. There are several different varieties - something for everyone. Great breadsticks as well. Aver's delivers, not a dine-in place. Though they're building one of those on the east side of town, complete with buffet. read more

It's been years since I last had Aver's and was so excited to have my husband try their pizza for the first time. I ordered carry-out and the pizza was ready when I got to the restaurant to pick it up. I was sad to find when I got home that the large pizza we ordered was very soggy--my guess is probably due to steam coming off of the pizza while in the box. I've never had a problem with Aver's Pizza being soggy, so I was a little disappointed. To add to the underwhelming experience, there was hardly any sauce on the pizza. My husband and I both pulled the cheese/toppings off our first slices to see if they had even put any on. The sauce was minimal. For the price we paid ($15) and the quality of pizza we got, I don't think we'll be going back anytime soon. read more

Just in Bloomington for the night on a business trip. I had a 12" build-your-own pizza with regular crust, gyros meat, extra tomato sauce, cheddar cheese, green pepper, black olives and mushrooms and baked well done. The pizza was delivered 40 minutes after the online order was placed, and the pie was EXACTLY as ordered and outstandingly delicious. These folks know good pizza--highly recommended. Too bad I live 300 miles outside their delivery area! read more

Wish my hometown of 180,000 ppl had a pizza joint this good. Every time I order everything is spot on. I know theirs other pizza spots but what's the point of trying them when Aver's is so good. 10/10 customer service and quality pizza! read more

So, I can only REALLY compare Aver's to Aver's, so my decision is, I should have stayed home and ordered in. I tried Aver's Eastside lunch buffet, and I'm a little disappointed. I LOVE Aver's pizza. I order the Cream and Crimson (substitute with ricotta) and it's always hot, fantastic, and worth every penny. They'll even sell me pesto to dip the crust in, which is Out. Standing. But the buffet is neither "more" nor "for less". I'm sure this is Vegetarian Mom Heaven. Five kinds of veggie pizza, tables stacked with children under 10, and acoustic soft rock remixes floating through the air. Plus Tennis on 4 screens. I ventured into new territory: the flatbread cheese sticks, a seafood slice, un-adjusted Cream and Crimson. Big salad. But though the heat lamps were hot enough to leave a tan, the slices on my plate were cold by the time I got to the table. I was SO careful with my salad (cause I love me some salad) but something? I have no idea what. But SOMETHING was tainted with the strong flavor of pimento and that is a sin against the almighty palate. My Coke was huge--big enough not to need a refill while slowly watering itself down for my whole meal. And in the end, 2 people cost as much here for lunch as the pizza that I would have eaten, especially to taste, melty hot, snuggled in bed with no one but my man and my Netflix. And frankly THAT is what I'd rather have. So: Aver's Pizza GOOD, Aver's Pizza Buffet not worth putting pants on for. read more

I found myself in Bloomington for a 3 day do-it-yourself music festival called 'chaos fest' ("CHAOS!!!"). I was drunk when I was leaving chicago, I was 50/50 hungover/drunk in Indianapolis, and painstakingly sober when the bus got to Bloomington. I felt like hell for a while, and was planning to just sleep on the streets for 3 days, but then I made contact with a lovely girl named Sonja who referred me to the area where cheap motels are located, and we ended up hanging out a few times, watching lifetime movies, and doing a bit of drinking at the america's best value inn. Sunday showed up after a while, and I hadn't been eating so much, so I asked sonja what the best pizza place in bloomington was, and she told me about Aver's. I was skeptical at first, but I was hungry, so I walked over to this place. When I got there, these two guys were there, and one of them asked me how they could help me. I stared at the menu for a few minutes, and got a large 'veggie revival'. I then sat on a bench and watched the other guy pile all of the toppings on it before putting it into the oven. While it cooked I looked around and imagined what it would be like to eat all of the pizzas that were in their pizza storage area that's off to the side. I guess they offer ready-to-pickup pizzas or something? I can't tell for sure, but it seems possible. Then they gave me the pizza and I walked back to america's best value inn where I ate the whole pizza in like an hour and felt like a disgusting person for eating all the pizza so quickly. While I was leaving the restaurant I passed the guy who made the pizza. I told him that I would write a yelp review if it was good. He told me that it was the best pizza in bloomington, and I told him "that's what I heard". Later that night I came back to the motel and ordered another one of the same pizza, but could only eat half of it. I was a little drunk and had over-estimated my appetite. I left it for the cleaning ladies at the motel when I left at 4am. The pizza was really good. Slightly buttery crust, great ingredients, great texture. Some of the best pizza I ate in 2013. I'll be sure to go back here if I ever find myself back in Bloomington. read more

This pizza place has some of the best and most unique pizza I have ever had. I have only ordered the Beckon Desire and Cream and Crimson signature pizza's, but based off these two if I ever crave a pizza I will go here. Both of the those pizza's have won awards in the past. Aver's also has the two other signature pizza choices as well as regular pizzas that you can order. I would say the price is reasonable considering this isn't a national chain like PIzza Hut. The service at Aver's is pretty good. I have only had one problem when I ordered over the phone and when I came to pick up the pizza they had forgotten to make the order. They made up for the mistake though by giving me the pizza at the next larger size. If I ordered an 8 inch pizza it normally takes about 15 minutes for it to be ready. read more

This is my favorite pizza place ever ( and has been so for four years ) and that includes 2 years of living outside of Bloomington before moving back ... in the meantime I've lived several places on the West coast, and nothing matched Avers. Unlike some of the other reviews, I've never had anyone be rude to me. Once I forgot to leave a CC number for my order, and they remembered that I usually used a CC, called me back to see if I wanted to that time as well. I imagine they remembered me because I usually order custom pizzas / variants on their specialties ... which they've always gotten right ( though they forget the 'extra sauce' sometimes ... the nerve! ). The order taker once wrote down a change wrong, and I got a call to confirm ... they make the effort. If anyone's actually read this far, I'd recommend the Beckon Desire, Cream&Crimson, regular pepperoni, and breadsticks with cool garlic sauce. I'd agree the breadsticks are a bit plain on their own, but with the sauce they're the best things ever. The price is really very reasonable. I think people in a college town get used to $5 pizzas so think a $7 one is expensive ... compared by quality to anywhere else, Avers is remarkably cheap even including delivery. Go get some delivered! read more

My friends and I ordered pizza from here and got the "Crazy Aver's Deal" that came with 2 drinks, bread sticks, sauce & a medium pizza for a great prize. We also got a ton of breadsticks! I definitely recommend this place if you're on a budget. read more

A "small" pizza is actually a personal pizza. I feel like businesses would be better off naming their sizes more accurately so their customers are disappointed when they finally get their pizza. Also, this place is way too expensive for such generic, run of the mill pizza. Boo. read more

To date, this is my all-time favorite pizza place. Pizza, not breadsticks, mind you ;) Though the breadsticks aren't bad. I have not ordered a "regular" pizza here (cheese, pepperoni, etc.), so I cannot attest to the taste of those. I am forever a fan of the Cream & Crimson and the Beckon Desire. Both have Gorgonzola cheese, so if you like Gorgonzola, you should try this place. I'm not sure which I like better, they are both wonderful. They have several sauce choices and some unique ingredients, so if you are looking for something a little different, it is worth a try. I have only ordered from this location, and perhaps always will, as it is on the way into town, so when I stop by Bloomington I can grab a pizza on my way in or on my way home. I believe they also have a take-and-bake option, which can be useful. Always good service. Drinks come in reusable plastic cups, and I always order the loganberry (red juice) just because it surprised me the first time I asked for drink options. I think they carry Coke products. Crazy Aver's Deal is great if you want to split a pizza and breadsticks meal with a friend. read more

This could be may favorite pizza. I love pizza, so that is saying something. The crust is one of the most unique I have ever encountered. Crunchy and dense, with a slightly sour flavor and great chewiness. Very distinctive flavor. I recommend one of the many gourmet pizzas. Many are nationally-award winning and all are terrific. My favorite is the Cream and Crimson. Roasted potatoes, alfredo sauce with cheese and dill. So yummy. I am craving one now as I write this. The Beckon Desire is another winner. I also recommend just a regular old pepperoni. The north location is the one I'm most familiar with (in the Marsh plaza). They are all about carry-out and not the biggest space, so I suggest ordering ahead. If in Bloomington, you must try this place. read more

A good pizza place, relative to the rest of the pizza places in Bloomington at least. The "Crazy Aver's Deal" is a bargain; you get pizza, breaksticks, and two drinks for about ten bucks. . . it makes a full meal for two people. I'd recommend the BBQ chicken pizza as well as my own creation: Alfredo sauce, artichoke hearts, and bacon. YUM. read more

Great pizza! Good prices for so much food. I've only had their pepperoni, and it was great. Next time I'll ask it to be well-done. Soooooo many breeeeadstiiiicks! Can't wait to try their specialty pizzas sometime. read more

Aver's pizza is one of my favorite B-town pizza places. They have a good selection of vegetarian and meat-loving specialty pizza you can choose from, which is the most difficult task for me. Since this store so small, so I'll recommend calling in for your order or place your order with them and go to Marsh, which is next boor, and come back and pick up your pizza. read more

It's a shame that it's already April 22nd, and my amazing freshman year is coming to an end. What I just discovered tonight was the best pizza in Bloomington. I would constantly be settling for dominoes, or even worse sometimes Pizza X. If it weren't for the colossal line at the M store (McDonald's), I would've never found this diamond. Everything happens for a reason. I am extremely satisfied with this restaurant. read more

This is to me the best pizza in town. I order many pizzas a week from here and the staff are great and I've never had to wait longer than I'm told over the phone. Up until 6 months ago I'd only order papa johns or Pizza Hut and Aver's is 100x better than any pizza I've had. read more

I LOVE AVERS!!! I live about two mins from this establishment and I order from there so much that my cabinets are full of their cups! I love their specialty pizzas and their staff is awesome and if they are not on time they are early with their deliverys! I recommend that every one in B-Town try Avers North at least once cause I guarantee that's all it will take and y'all will be hooked! read more

If you order a pizza from Aver's, make sure you don't get the Heavy Veggie. We ordered one tonight and the middle of the pizza was completely wet -- almost "soupy." The pizza wasn't cut, either. When I called Aver's to tell them the pizza was wet (water was visibly gathering in the middle), I was told that this was normal and that part of it comes from their tomatoes, which (by their own admission) are "weird and out-of-season." Why would knowingly put bad tomatoes on a pizza, especially one that uses red sauce? The pizza is borderline inedible and looks incredibly unappetizing. Aver's also refused to refund the order, and while I understand that a non-manager employee might not be able to do this, the pizza was a waste of money. At least the breadsticks and the drinks were good. If you want to eat pizza in Bloomington, either go elsewhere or avoid getting this particular pizza. read more

Aver's is the equivalent of a steady, 9-5 job that pays the bills. It's not flashy, but it's a solid pizza place with great prices. My friends and I have all ordered in the last week and haven't been disappointed! read more

I have been away from Bloomington for a few years and just moved back to the area. I went and got the "Avers Deal" which is 12.99 for a medium pizza, breadsticks and cheese, two cookies (not the best quality cookies, but that is not a deal breaker) and two soft drinks. Unbelievable deal. I chose to get a large pizza +$2 and upgrade to their specialty pizza "cream and crimson" (which I remembered was really good). Total was $20 or so and was everything that I remembered. Cream and Crimson is really the way to go. It has this Alfredo sauce, bacon, thin slices red potatoes and lots of cheeses (maybe Gorgonzola) spread on top. My favorite thing is that the edges have a great balance of having that burnt cheese and the topping go all the way to the edge of the pizza. We will definitely get take out again soon! read more

Incredibly overrated. Some people love it, and I understand why, but it's never done anything for me and I've been having it on and off for 15 years. Not a huge fan of their sauce or their cheese. Their artisan pizzas are cool from a conceptual level, but that doesn't make them great to eat. read more
