Aver's Pizza

I don't know what the haters out there are thinking but Aver's has the absolute best pizza in Bloomington, hands down! I've only had delivery, so I can't speak for the in-house experience. But I discovered this gem freshman year at IU, when a friend ordered a sausage pizza  to the dorms after a long night out on the town for our huge group. When we got the pizza, it wasn't what we ordered, but we were drunk so who cared at that point... We gobbled it up and it was the most delicious thing we all had ever tasted. What was that glorious pizza, you ask? None other than the Cream and Crimson! Since that night, I've ordered many times from Aver's (sober and a little intoxicated sometimes, too) and it is always worth the decision. I've never been let down by this amazing little pizza place. The Cream and Crimson is probably the greatest concoction ever invented and I will most likely eat that pizza as my last meal in Bloomington after I graduate and move away from town. Do yourself a favor and skip that nasty Pizza Express (or Pizza X, for all you new kids), Rockits, or Mad Mushroom and dig into a real pizza from Aver's! It's gourmet pizza without the gourmet price and you always get fresh food without all the grease and regret of normal late-night pizza.

Not only the best pizza in town, but the best breadsticks too. I don't know what they put in their dough, but it's garlicky and sweet and to die for. The menu is super simple too, so no matter how many beers you have in you, you can get a pizza to your door fast. The specialty pizzas are always killer - they are geniuses when it comes to original topping combos. They have a couple permanent specials, which are good if you're on a budget (and who isn't?) and the employees are always nice.

Great pizza! Good prices for so much food. I've only had their pepperoni, and it was great. Next time I'll ask it to be well-done. Soooooo many breeeeadstiiiicks!

Can't wait to try their specialty pizzas sometime.
