I was told to try "Cream & Crimson", which has an alfredo sauce base with a layer of red potatoes and topped with bacon, cheddar, and gorgonzola. It was extremely rich and delicious, especially if you like gorgonzola! They have a bunch of unique pies and their extra cheesy breadsticks are a great addition.

Got so busy in eating that I completely forgot to take a picture. But this is the best pizza 🍕 I have ever eaten. The Whole Enchilada Pizza with Alfredo sauce has a great combination together. Highly recommended this pizza 🍕

Outstanding pizza! I’m a pepperoni with extra cheese guy and I stepped way outside my comfort zone for pizza with the Parthenon. So glad I did because it’s fantastic. I was afraid of the black olives and red onions but they blend perfectly and do not over power at all. Very good pizza and no meat which is nuts for me. You won’t regret it

Gluten free pizza was incredible!!
We recently moved within Bloomington and got a free coupon mailed to us. Somehow we had never tried Aver’s because we didn’t know they had gf pizza…but whoa it was so good! One of the best crusts I’ve had in a long time. Crust size was bigger than most gf pizzas from other local or chain places around town.
We also ordered (gluten) breadsticks for my husband and toddler and they loved them. Breadsticks and cheese sauce got 10/10 too
Staff was great - from phone ordering to pick up everyone seemed happy to be there and kind. Thanks Aver’s team! We’ll for sure be back!

To earn a five star rating from my point of view, add Margherita pizza to your menu. Hardly any good Margherita pizzas in Bloomington!

First visit to Avers North and the deluxe tasted fantastic! It was a football weekend so I had to wait maybe 15 min, 3-4 people ahead of me but they had all hands on deck. Great teamwork! Will be ordering again this weekend for the big IU/Ohio State game.
