    No moisture, like jerky

    Literally the worst salmon I've ever had, worse than canned salmon. Overcooked to the point of chewy like jerky, terrible fishy smell, tastes like someone microwaved it on high for 5 min. Needed a knife to cut it, had to use effort to tear it open. Didn't taste any sort of glaze. It was inedible and I would have taken it back but I was already on the road. Smothered in dill yogurt sauce, which was tasty itself but way too much of it. Not much substance to the meal if you remove the salmon. I now remember I did try Cava before and had an underwhelming experience the first time too. This solidified I won't return. I deleted the app immediately. I want my $15 back

    Food was delicious. It is similar to chipotle as far as you make your own food and seating. Servers were a bit soft spoken but they were polite, facility was clean. Would recommend.

    Updating my review...This is the 3rd time dining here. I really love that we have healthy options such as Cava in Kyle, but my goodness there hasn't been any improvement these past few days. If ever I believe the staff have regressed. I think it's pretty negligent for this location to leave a new restaurant and new staff without a seasoned manager or supervisor. I am still rating it a 3 because the staff appear to be friendly and nice...just lack guidance and a structured assembly line process. I really hope it gets better because the food quality is there. I recommend the pita versus the salad option. It appears the salad option is not as plentiful or filling. The ambiance is new and the decor is modern. I just wished they invested in a seasoned manager or supervisor that is able to guide the staff.

    Pretty much everything in a bowl.

    The night before they opened to the public, Cava had a free meal evening that my wife and I were lucky enough to get tickets to. To be ultra simplistic, Cava is a Mediterranean version of Chipotle or Mod Pizza. You choose a protein and a base and whether you want it in a pita or as a bowl. I chose the spicy lamb meatballs (one of the super helpful employees recommended) with the lentils as a base. I would normally order something pretty much how it came, but I decided to go all out (it was free) and add a bunch of extras... so on a normal day I would have never added the avocado (on account of the price), but it was delicious. The entire experience was wonderful and this is a welcome and fairly healthy option for a lunch or dinner where you can get out the door at under $15 per person.

    The saddest salad ever.

    Last night was my 1st time trying CAVA and I will not be back. I purposely ordered my salad through the app 45 minutes before I picked it up. I sat, waiting at the digital drive thru for at least 20 minutes for a steak salad. I could see workers piling on ingredients while I sat patiently. I finally got my salad, got home to what looked like the most miniscule amount of greens they could spare, and no steak. I also ordered pita bread, which was a no too. I added a side order of their eggplant dip for $3.50; it was one ounce of watery mush. I tried calling them 3x and of course, no one answered. You can tell by the picture exactly how much veg was in the bowl...sad. Want a salad? Save your time and money and go to HEB right across the street.

    Everything tasted way fresher than some of the Austin locations but the portion was pretty small compared to those locations too.

    Food tastes great, but this location seems to offer the smallest portions of any other I've visited.

We walked in looked at the menu on the counter and then placed our order and paid. We were given a number and then went to find seating. After sitting we waited for a while as they started making our pizzas. We ordered two orders of Mozzarella Facaccia Sticks to share. One order with cheese and one without cheese. They were both warm and soft. I preferred the sticks with cheese. One of my adult sons got a Classic Pepperoni Pizza and he enjoyed it. My other son got the Bacon Double Cheeseburger Pizza and he also enjoyed it. My husband ordered the BBQ Grilled Chicken Pizza. I tried it and it was tasty. The pieces of chicken were large and I liked the BBQ sauce flavor. It had a sweetness to it. I ordered a Ground Control Pizza which had pepperoni, sausage, red onion, green peppers, mushrooms, ham, black olives, and ground beef. I ordered my pizza without the ground beef. My pizza was tasty. It had different flavors and textures. The pepperoni, ham and sausage meats were good. The crust was doughy which I liked. It was a good pizza. Lastly we shared a Cinnamon Dessert. Which is a cinnamon bread with icing. It was delicious. The bread was warm and doughy and you could taste the cinnamon. The icing added that extra sweet element to it. It was so good. The perfect ending to our meal. Overall Aviator Pizza had a good selection of food. The counter service where you order was easy and fast for us. The delivery of the food to our table was pleasant and the pizza was good.

The menu consists of more than just pizza, in fact many people near us had salads for their main course. We chose a gluten free crust pizza with meats (ham, pepperoni & sausage). The pizza toppings were tasty but, the crust was just ok (too thin to pick up and too tough to cut with our plastic knives. The soda selection is quite limited (Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, a pink lemonade and unknown sodas. The situation wasn't helped by the fact that the machine's ice dispenser was broken on a hot evening. We chose to sit outside to enjoy our meal at one of the super long picnic tables. Each probably sits 12+ patrons comfortably. Great area for kids to run around nearby so as you would assume, lots of young families. It seems to be a great meeting place for families & groups. The biggest downside to our dining experience was the outside trash can. Patrons cleaned up after themselves & the trash can was overflowing. I chose to go inside to throw our trash away and to inform staff of the trash situation. (No need having all that trash near your tables & front door) The staff informed me "we don't touch that. That's the City of Kyle's responsibility. They pick up on Saturday nights." Unfortunate that my visit was 6pm on a Saturday night. I can only imagine how messy the entire area will be by 9pm. I hope that the owners and management can figure out a way to handle this issue since the majority of the trash I saw inside & outside of the trash can was from their patrons.

I asked an employee to see if she could please remake it with no parsley by the name of Pamela and said it's not my fault so you can place another order and just pay for it! She was very rude acted like she was the owner/ manager. I asked are you the manager she said no! I'm like really than why would you not transfer me to the manager when I asked for one?

Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and happy to answer the questions we had about the menu. I ordered the Chicken Florentine Pasta, which came with a choice of soup or salad. They didn't have honey mustard dressing , so I decided to try the soup instead--and I'm really glad I did. It was absolutely delicious. It had so much flavor with just the right amount of heat, and honestly, it was one of the best surprises of the meal. And honestly, if it had been, the only thing I had had for my dinner, I would've been completely satisfied. The rest of the table ordered the Pesto Perfecto with Canadian bacon, chicken tenders and fries, and a kids' pepperoni pizza. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The Alfredo sauce on my pasta tasted homemade, and the pasta portion was generous. There wasn't a lot of chicken in the dish, but I've noticed that seems to be pretty common lately when eating out. Even so, the pasta itself was flavorful and very satisfying. The bread that came with my meal wasn't my favorite--it was dense and chewy. But I tried a bite of my son's pepperoni pizza and would absolutely come back just for that. The crust was light and crispy, and it had a generous amount of cheese and pepperoni. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was great, and we'll definitely be back.

Me, I am kinda crazy and put just about everything so it is a few inches thick when it goes in the oven. If you have never been, this is one of those places that is like Subway for pizzas. But I really think there is nothing you could as for that isn't available as a topping. They must 50+ toppings, multiple sauces, plenty of cheeses, etc. Pretty much, if you can dream, they can do it. Sometimes you have to ask for extra for some of the toppings but, otherwise, no complaint. Each time we have been, we have gotten what we asked for and they have been cooked perfectly. Mine is usually a pain to cook because of how much stuff I have on it. So when mine it cooked right, kudos to the cook/oven person. I definitely highly recommend trying Mod Pizza. I have yet to be disappointed at any location. Hopefully that day doesn't come.

If your manager walks through this entrance every day and doesn't see a problem with what customers see when they walk in, that's a clear sign there's a leadership issue. Customers notice these things, and first impressions matter. I hope ownership takes a serious look at what's happening here because this location has a lot of potential.
