Nice place. Either night or day looks good. Lights outside in the night. Beautiful view on pine trees during the day time. The food is good. The prices are affordable. read more

Just FYI!! We went at lunch time to maybe enjoy the patio and the whole place looked completely deserted! Not sure what happened but the tables aren't set up inside either. Said they were open online at the time we were there. I may have missed an announcement here. There is a smaller storefront in the strip mall that also has a "pizza pavia" sign up. Definitely NOT a family friendly place. Just slot machines and like 4 tables. If you order, get takeout. Pizza and chicken tenders were decent so gave them three stars. read more

I have been a few times for Trivia events (shoutout to Top Hat Trivia) and have enjoyed every visit. It seems small on the outside, but it truly has a lot going for it. Two levels of seating, a gaming area and nice little bar make Pizza Pavia a solid all around hang for any night out. Trivia night is fantastic because you get to meet people and have something fun to do while enjoying your meal. Speaking of, I would like to get in to the food. I have gotten to try the garlic bread. and it bodes well as an appetizer. Not too over done on the garlic and the right amount of crisp to the bread. The mozzarella sticks were also a really tasty addition to the meal. The marinara sidepiece was nice , but nothing too special if we're being truthful. As the center piece, the pizza always has some big shoes to fill. The pies, I must say, did exactly that. The flavors stayed true to that classic tavern style we all know and love. The crust was well executed and left me satisfied after every bite. Most definitely one of the best pizzas one can get in the area, and for a decent price as well. Most certainly a top spot to grab a bite at, and great location for trivia too! Can't wait to come back again! read more

don't normally review or anything but went to eat with my family first time at the new location and everything was a massive downgrade the pizza just seemed like tombstone pizza heated up... massively disappointed the previous pizza was so good. the new restaurant just smells like cigarettes and the inside is nasty 4 tables and it seems like just a way for people to come in and spend money on the gambling machines and not actual food... read more

Pizza Pavia has delicious thin crust pizza and they don't skimp on the toppings. The sauce is slightly sweet adding a nice flavor to complement the toppings, even just plain cheese pizza. I've ordered a few times because my kids like the crispy crust. I've also ordered the arugula and beet salad which is plentiful, enough for 2 people! Their chicken parmesan sandwich is delicious - tender, juicy, cheesy, nice tomato sauce, and the bread is sturdy enough to keep it all together. The chicken parmesan is crispy and the portion is generous! I've only done take out from Pizza Pavia so I can't comment on dining it. It's a very spacious restaurant with plenty of seating and room for larger tables. There's an area for slots, but it's not accessible to children. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Ordering is easy - I've phone in my order and I've placed my orders online. The service is always friendly and quick. I get a text letting me know my order is ready for pick up which is really nice. They a good special of 1/2 price pizzas on Tuesdays. read more

My carryout order was ready right on time. The 14-inch pizza was larger than I expected it to be, which was a pleasant surprise, and they were generous with my pineapple topping. The staff was friendly, too. The pizza's overall flavor wasn't particularly memorable, though. I'll order again, but it probably won't be my #1 choice. read more

I didn't even need much dressing. the chicken was grilled perfectly. my friend had French fries and I stole some. crispy, yummy, and perfect inside. awesome place. gonna make it my regular. read more

Very interesting experience. Instead of our Cesar salad we received a mashed up birthday cake. Called the restaurant and they apologized for the mistake, but it was such a strange and glaring error and the interaction with the staff who was explaining the error was bizarre. Pizza was ok, but overall experience was poor. read more

I have tried this establishment both for carry out and dine in. For carry out, I was really excited to try the chicken parm pizza when they first opened.It was underwhelming and would not recommend. My dine in experience was in October 2024. The wait staff was very nice but again the food overall was underwhelming. read more

Quite a local spot. Staff was friendly and the food was great Staffers welcoming new faces. read more

This is only for a take out review. I stopped in here on a Friday night they were fairly busy but very attentive. I got two pizza to go the Chicken Parmesan Piazza and the Veggie Pizza with no cheese. They were both really good. As expected the Chicken Parm was good, but a little heavy & I really only could eat one piece in a sitting. The veggie piazza with no cheese came out great. The crust was nice and crispy and they cut it in squares instead of triangles. I'll definitely be revisiting this place to try some other options. read more

Everything as OK. The location to where we are and the fact that they are open for lunch are probably earns them a half star on its own.

Wonderful food and super cute inside. My kids loved the pizza and mozzarella sticks. Seems very family friendly and several gluten free options for the win. My salad was huge and very tasty. Definitely coming back to try more. read more

The pizza was fine- half/half came out fine. The calamari was not good. It was not crispy and tasted fishy- not fresh. The sauce was bland and didn't help. I would not order that again read more

Love this little gem!!!! The service is awesome! The restaurant is clean and cute! There's an outdoor patio & that's Always a plus in my book! The food is delicious and generous portions! Pizza is delicious- the shrimp and avocado salad is now my favorite salad sold anywhere .....the pesto pasta is prefect!!! They even have daily specials.

We had our first experience at Pizza Pavia and it was absolutely amazing! The food was so good! our server Maja was the best! highly recommend Pizza Pavia... it's a hidden gem! read more

Old School Carbonara is AMAZING. Shrimp and Avocado salad - generous pieces of large shrimp; HOMEMADE ranch sauce. So tasty overall and filling. Pizza was great. I prefer my crust on the thinner side. We once got it a little thicker. But that also lets me know it's never frozen or pre-prepared. Will be coming back! read more

Family was looking for a closer local go-to pizza spot and we have found it! We dined in for our first experience and immediately noticed how new, clean and welcoming their indoor area was. The outdoor patio seemed to be the preferred area for most diners, but being outside most of the day with child, we succumbed to the appeal of A/C. Wife and I split a delicious pizza with our go-to combo toppings: Italian beef and giardiniera and it blew away our expectations! It tasted on the same level as our other favorite pie-slingers. Crust was flaky and crispy. Cheese was plentiful and still maintained good balance with other toppings. The beef and giardiniera were good enough to make me want to try a beef in the next go round. We also split a Caesar salad which was tasty and for the youngin' we got him the meatballs and fried pickles which he devoured. The staff was very nice and attentive and turned around our order with exceptional speed. The fam and I hope this place keeps up the great work and more people support them so we can keep this place around! Pizza & Love read more

Amazing food!! We had a pizza with almost everything and it was amazing and zero grease! The salad was so good and had homemade dressing . Our male server was excellent! On top of things all night. I will definitely be back!! read more

Ordered ahead for a party. Pizza was good. Delivery was on time and hot. Great service!

Tried this place. Found it to be clean with a dining area that allows a lot of natural light from the outside. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was very good. My personal favorite was the bruschetta which I do admit it was some of the best that I've had. I do recommend this restaurant. read more

This was an entertaining pizza place that has some gambling slots and a two floor but small environment. I passed by this place many times not realizing how cool was in the inside and decided to try the pizza was excellent and there was enough beer choice to go to make this a satisfying meal people in a serious should definitely check this out read more

Fantastic food and a staff that goes above and beyond every time with their friendliness. Happy to be a frequent visitor.

Solid thin crust pizza and an extra star for very good thin crust gluten free pizza. Will be ordering a bunch since it's so close!

This is a family owned business and the food is great There are two dining levels, and slots. I would recommend locals to try the pizza, and any item on the menu. Also serves beer & wine. Also has outdoor seating. read more

The pizza was really good. Not greasy at all, and the ingredients tasted great and fresh.

Food is fresh and delicious, Chicken Parmesan and Spaghetti with meatballs was amazing. Caesar salad had a vinaigrette that was good! Our server Raya was very attentive and gracious. The ambience was soft lightening and nice music! I recommend this restaurant read more

Our normal pizza place was closed this evening for some reason so we decided to order here. Very disappointed. Pizza was bland and cold. Not impressed at all. Pizza tasted like a frozen pizza that I could have done at home. Gonna stick our regular place or have frozen pizza at home instead. read more

Great pizza. Great service by Maja. Parking in downtown Mt. Prospect is a hassle on a Friday night, so Pizza Pavia is a great place to go with easy parking and great food. read more

I had heard about this place and decided to give it a try. I ordered a mushroom pizza to pick up around 4 p.m. on a Sunday. The order taker was very nice and said it'd be about 20-25 minutes. I asked if they keep it warm if I'm a few minutes after stated time and he said yes. I got there 5 minutes after the time. Met the owner who was very personable. Inside looked clean and new. Got home (5 minute ride) and much to my dismay the pizza was lukewarm. Don't know if their oven isn't hot enough or they don't have a good warming rack. I even had them not cut the pizza so as to retain heat. After eating one piece I pan heated a few other pieces. That was better but you expect your pizza to be hot! The pizza itself lacked flavor. It needed maybe some oregano and the sauce could be a little more flavorful as well. The cheese was good, not too much and not greasy. The crust --- just ok. I'll give them another try as I like to support small businesses and they have other items that look good. But as for pizza, I hope they'll ensure it's hot or I''l have to pass. read more

The pizza I thought was pretty good. I wasn't a fan of their eggplant parmigiana. I prefer crispier breading and less sauce. Will try other dishes there in near future. read more

Great pizza and service hope they keep up the quality, will come back again soon recommend you try them

They are always on point! The pizza is so authentically great. And their pasta and drinks are a must have. Amir, the owner, is fantastic and makes sure to keep the ambiance as a family feel for all ages. Maja and Melissa are both one of a kind employees/management and exceed the standards for customer service. I would recommend Pavia any day!!​ read more

The Italian Beef is best around...generous serving, the bread stands up to a wet sandwich, order the fries well done and it's a combo to go back for. read more

Pizza was pretty average. I am very upset that there was an automatic tip added to the order.

This is a great place with our favorite pizza in the area. Highly recommend for pizza and the meatball sandwich!
