Avellino’s Italian Restaurant in Delray Beach is a hidden gem for Italian cuisine lovers, boasting a menu that savors the essence of traditional dishes. Patrons rave about the NY-style pizza, often hailed as the best in South Florida, with a perfect balance of crisp crust, flavorful sauce, and generous toppings. Customers like Allan DiSimone emphasize the dough's delightful chewiness and the impeccable sauce balance, though delivery issues with external services have disappointed some. The menu offers more than just pizza; from the hearty Stromboli to cold subs like the Italian Combo, there’s something for every palate. David Macias praises the variety and reasonable prices, noting the exceptional margarita pizza with its exquisite cheese-to-sauce ratio. Even longtime Italians, such as Susan R, are impressed, calling it the best pizza post-move from Brooklyn. While the ambiance may not be the standout feature—Mel Marx points out it’s not where you’d find a lavish atmosphere—the food and attentive service shine brightly. If you’re seeking authentic Italian flavors in a no-frills setting, Avellino’s is the place to indulge. With its commitment to quality, this restaurant undeniably earns its place as a favorite among locals.

I ordered a large cheese, mushroom & kalamata olive through the slice app. The pizza itself was probably the best NY Style pizza I have had in soflo. The dough is excellent with just the right chew vs crisp. The sauce is perfectly balanced sweet vs acidic & the amount of toppings were perfect. Unfortunately, it arrived barely at room temp. Why does "Slice" not deliver in insulated pizza carrier's?????? Doesn't the name imply they specialize in pizza delivery? It's the second time "Slice" handed me a neutral warm pizza box, so you know, it wasn't inside any pizza bag carrier, unbelievable

So, Avellino's....Huh ..A BIG Surprise today! I had Googled Pizza...Saw some nice pics of Entrees and . Decided, spur of the moment to go...And ...Well, you know I'm a Conosuear....BAM!!! This place is Awesome! Their menu items cover the gamut of what you might be in the mood for when eating Italian food, with relatively fair pricing, with nothing really expensive as considering the size and quality of the food served The kids menu, includes lasagna, stuffed shells or baked ziti for 8. I only tried the margarita pie... And I got to tell you it's one of the best ever tasted in Palm Beach and Broward County. I'm not kidding the sauce to fresh mozzarella ratio was perfect... The bottom was thin and crispy.... Even the taste of the dough was quality stuff. A must-have. Come to think of it this place is a definite Come Back Spot.... And eagerly look forward to my next visit here. Update as of September 7th 2024 I tried I tried their margherita pizza again it was excellent. Another nice dish is the the minestrone soup as a substitute to the salad. It's nice they dice up, and the ingredients are light and healthy. *Feb 28, 2025: An Update* Got the Go-to Margarita Pies, Garlic Rolls, Chicken Wings, Veal Sorrentino, Lasagna, Parmesano Encrusted Salmon, Pasta Fagioli Soup

Excellent. The pizza is absolutely superb. Crispy underneath, great sauce, gooey cheese and the crust has major crunch. The brick oven really elevates the pizza past the typical places that stick to the regular ovens. The Veal Parm sub is also a really good, hot sandwich. Loved everything here.

I was born and raised in an Italian immigrant Brooklyn neighborhood where there were A pizzerias on every corner. Avellino’s is the best pizza I’ve had in the 9 years since I’ve moved to Florida !! Delicious- thank you. My new favorite pizza in Delray Beach!
