    I really enjoyed everything about my experience at Theo's. My friend lives in the area and recommended it. Our server was nice and very kind to our 3 young children. The pasta was made fresh and the Alfredo sauce was delicious. The breadsticks and salad were also very tasty. My friend got a pizza and I think I'll probably try that next time! Pretty decor and very clean all around. I would definitely return.

    I can't say enough good things about our experience here. Four of us went for my wife's birthday and each of us loved what we had. We started with the bruschetta, which was so good that we forgot to take a picture of it before digging in. The pasta dishes were excellent, as were the pizzas. The dough and sauce specifically stood out; it was clear that both were fresh and house-made. We also got a complimentary birthday dessert, which capped off the meal perfectly. The staff was also really friendly, accommodating, and went to great lengths to make my wife's birthday special. Sean, the executive chef, made her an off-menu pesto pasta, and absolutely knocked it out of the park. Between that and his pizza dough recipe, the guy is a total pro. To sum up, this will undoubtedly be a regular place for us going forward, especially if we're spending time on the west side.

    Wonderful meal after a movie! The old Cunningham restaurant becomes a new Cunningham restaurant! The layout is the same but it appeared some minor touches were performed onsite the look. Winnie or it may have been winner was our server and she was amazing and attentive! Sean is the manager and made sure to stop by and check on our experience. PROS: wood fire pizza was on fire! calamari with shrimp was a nice appetizer wine list could be longer but they had some great Italian choices including a barbera! CONS: parking is not too bad, but a short walk overall a wonderful evening and we were able to try three different pizzas (one came out on accident and we were not charged for it).

    Theo's impressed me with their diverse menu with handmade pastas, unique pizzas, salads, and more! The restaurant ambiance was a little quieter than I'm used to since I visited on a weeknight, but the service and food was great, as Cunningham restaurants always have consistently delivered for me. I learned their pasta is handmade from Nesso downtown, so you're getting the best ingredient quality and top attention to dish detail over in Plainfield. I visited for Devour Indy and tried a three-course deal with their Brussels Sprouts Caesar salad, Potato Pizza, and Strawberry Gelato. The portions really are as big as the other reviews say - the pizza can easily serve two people, maybe even three if you get salads or starters as well. The Brussels Caesar salad was a dish I will be dreaming of having again and it balanced the richness of the cheese and cream on the pizza perfectly. I typically wouldn't leave room for dessert, but if you do the gelato is a perfect treat!

    My wife and I came here for Devour on a weeknight for dinner, and the service was very quick (Thanks, Sydney!). We sat at the bar and made a new friend! (pictured) It was relatively quiet, and the bar area is more secluded and has moodier lighting than the main dining area. The cocktails we ordered (Blueberry Basil and Italian Bird) were new flavor profiles for us and they were so good! The chopped salad and brussels sprouts caesar salad were topped with crispy pancetta, and the chopped salad had salami which I've never had before but it was delicious (coming from a guy that's usually not a fan of salads). THE STARS OF THE SHOW were the fennel & sausage pizza and the casarecce. The pasta was fresh and made that day, the fennel and sausage combo was wonderful and the dough was perfectly baked and not too crispy, and the beef and pork ragù were simply perfect. We have struggled to find a really good Italian restaurant that we both love but the entrees alone knocked it out of the park. The tiramasu looked and tasted great, and it was an excellent light finish to the meal. All for a reasonable price! Will 100% be back for the lasagna!

    I've been several times to Theo's Italian and every experience is somehow better than the previous one! Last time we went was for Valentine's Day and had an amazing time! The food was just delicious. We had the special menu for the day and every single thing was to die for! Service as always exceeding expectations, and the vibe was incredible that day. It is the first time we go to the second floor and it was just perfect too! I'm guilty of always getting the Cesar salad and extra points for the raspberry cheesecake that was unbelievable!!

    I went there for a lunch meeting on a Thursday. Great spot in Plainfield in the mall area (The Shops at Perry Crossing). I definitely want to go back for dinner because they just added some new items on the menu. The host and waitress were really nice and it wasn't crowded at all. There were only three tables occupied on the lower level. Quiet atmosphere and it was perfect for a lunch meeting. I ordered off the pick two lunch menu...pepperoni pizza and the chopped salad. Both were good. The pickled onions were amazing the pizza was t greasy at all. Prices were reasonable and the food came out pretty quick. I look forward to going back for dinner. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch.

    This has quickly become my favorite Italian. The people are always so nice and staff is too notch.

    The bar area is very cozy. Great for after a movie!

    The travel club members ventured to Plainfield, IN near the Indianapolis airport to dine at a newer restaurant of the Cunningham Restaurant Group. Theo's opened in Fall 2023 in the Perry Crossing mall across from the movie theaters. Our group of 12+ ladies received excellent service. Our server, Ellen, was fantastic. Was it because we dined at 12 noon on a rainy January afternoon and there weren't many guests? There's nothing to compare it to-- the orders were correct, drinks were quickly served and no one had to ask for anything twice. Most of us ordered lunch special. The special allows diners to choose 2 items from a) soup; b) salad or c) pinsa-an Italian flatbread

    Breadsticks with cheese
    Debra G.

    I wish I had taken more photos. I loved the decor. Striking and comfortable. Loved the simplicity of the tables, nothing unnecessary, just napkins, flatware and a water glass. We ordered breadsticks with cheese. Both came out hot! I had soup and the Caesar salad with Brussels sprouts. So fresh and crisp. The right amount of dressing, not too goopy. At the table was also linguine, chopped salad and a pinsa. Everything was delicious. We had excellent service!

    Fried Calamari & Shrimp
    Lydia C.

    I recently dined twice at Theo's Italian in Plainfield, Indiana Meatballs: Delicious with an amazing sauce, though I wished there was more cheese on top!! So good. Breadsticks: Improved since their opening, now a standout with a variety of sauces. Before the bread was subpar. However, on my second visit, they had changed it. When talking to the waitress, she said, they listened to feedback from the service staff and changed it! This was a great decision, way to go, Cunningham! Calamari and shrimp: Good but needed more sauce; our lemon was dry, but the seafood was well prepared. Would reorder without the shrimp.. and with extra lemon just in case. Charcuterie board: Outstanding with a variety of cheeses and delightful homemade Cristinis. A solid 10/10 choice over other appetizers. If you're going to Theo's, order this showstopper. Pork Milanese sandwich: Absolutely amazing! Pair it with their spicy sauce, and the homemade chips are a must-try. Reminded me of a similar favorite dish at Livery. Highly recommend this for lunch. You can definitely take half the lunch portion home. Theo's Italian in Plainfield offers a welcoming ambiance, blending warmth and charm for an enhanced dining experience. If you dined at the previous restaurant in this location, the recent updates in decor bring a refreshing change, making it a beautiful spot for lunch or dinner. While the service staff is accommodating, there's room for improvement in their knowledge about the menu. We appreciated their efforts to address questions about food allergies, though it took a few attempts to get a definitive answer. Overall, a great place with a few areas for enhancement in food allergy knowledge.

    The food is very good, HOWEVER, it's very expensive for what you're paying for. If you're looking for a nice date night, this place could be perfect. If you're looking to have a family outing, look elsewhere. The staff was very nice, but I felt it was a little more formal that what you'd expect on the outside looking in. Overall, a decent experience but probably won't be back.

    I'd been curious about Pizzaville every since I passed it on the way out to my parents' home in…read morePutnam County. Located on the western end of Avon, Pizzaville is in a strip center with Parlor Doughnuts in the parking lot, Hotcakes Emporium a handful of storefronts down and a couple other cool storefronts. In case it's not obvious, Pizzaville specializes in pizza. They offer dine-in, carry-out, and delivery in select areas. They also cater special events. One of the things I noticed was large signage indicating a lunch buffet during the week ($11.99). There's accessible parking almost directly in front. The main entrance offers a weird ramp up to the door - despite having a ramp, I'd actually say it's not accessible because the ramp is at such a weird angle. I was able to get in, however, it took effort. It's much easier if you approach it from the parking lot rather than the sidewalk. Once you enter, you arrive at the ordering spot. The dining room is to your left. The decor is simple yet clean. As I recall, they serve Coke products. They do have Gold Peak Unsweetened Iced Tea in the fountain. They do also have some canned/bottled offerings. While I arrived on a weekend (no buffet), there was a $6.99 special that included a mini-pizza up to 3-toppings and a fountain drink. The prices can definitely go up, though I found pricing quite fair and definitely quite good. They have a handful of sides - I was tempted by breadsticks, but they are $5.99. I read a couple reviews indicating it's a pretty big serving - so, I held off this time. I ordered a mini-pizza with sausage and pepperoni along with my fountain drink. They were friendly and offered help. The mini-pizza is basically a "personal" pizza and it's on the smaller side. I was pleased with it and would easily order it again. I believe there's a side room you can reserve. There's single user bathrooms with grab bars. I can't quite go to a 5-star here. I enjoyed the meal immensely and will easily return. This is a solid 4-star experience with good quality and good value. I arrived late in the lunch hour - business was pretty light, though it was steady. I'm enjoying my journey through Hendricks and Putnam County. While it was initiated by a sad experience, it's introducing me to the communities of Avon, Danville, and Coatesville and I'm really enjoying that. If you're looking for a new pizza buffet experience, this is a solid one to try from Monday-Friday during lunch. Otherwise, they still have great specials and for those on a budget you can eat for under ten bucks by using specials.

    The last review is not kidding, this is the best pizza in the Midwest! We've been eating here for…read more10 years and it's still my favorite pizza spot. The food is consistent, fresh, & the customer service is excellent at all of their locations. My go to pizza order is always the hand tossed, Garlic sauce, Chicken, & chopped jalapeños. Warning- if you try this pizza you will love it and so will all your friends. The combination is so flavorful, with the garlic sauce it's not spicy at all, even my grandma loves this pizza! Our second favorite is definitely the bbq chicken pizza, plenty of sauce & chicken. All of their pizzas are very filling, evenly spread toppings. Inside the store they have 6-8 tables, always a movie playing, great for families, and feels like home! Lastly, The house made ranch dressing deserves an honorable mention, I think the pizza is great as it is but the ranch is actually quite nice for dipping.

They have their original location on 38th street that I think the dad still runs, but the Avon location that the son runs is a tad bit closer to us (and also the one that we can do delivery from), so we almost always order from the Avon location. The owner is almost always working when we go in and is so friendly. Always remembers your name/order and makes you feel welcomed. We have been going here for years and I always rave about them to my co-workers and friends. We discovered early on that you can do half red, half garlic sauce on the pizza, so we always order a supreme that way with 2 cups of ranch. The ranch is house-made and worth the extra $1 per cup. And that is coming from a girl whose family was a blue cheese household growing up.
