Came in here for a quick bite to eat and was very impressed! We came in for a late lunch, but only got a small pizza because we weren’t that hungry. We got the mushroom tart specialty pie, which tasted great. We wanted to get the bolognese pie, but our friend was vegetarian so we couldn’t. Our waitress was nice enough to bring out a side of the sauce to dip in! It was great. We will definitely be coming here for dinner next time so that we can try more pies!

I recently dined at Ava's and had a fantastic experience! From the outside, the restaurant might appear small and unassuming, but step inside, and you're greeted with a beautifully inviting atmosphere. Our server, Susane, was attentive and friendly, adding a personal touch to our evening. We decided to try the Detroit pizza, and it was absolutely amazing—perfectly crisp and flavorful. To top it off, we had the beignets for dessert, which truly were the icing on the cake. Ava's is a hidden gem that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. Don’t let the exterior fool you—this place is worth it! PET FRIENDLY!

What a cute place with amazingly delicious food. You will be delighted to eat at Ava's. Must have: Chicken Marsala and the pizza. You choose your toppings of preference. Food is fresh and prepared to perfection. Service is reasonable. Food is fantastic.

WONDERFUL! Ava's is absolutely amazing! Since moving to the Eastern Shore several years ago we have been disappointed in ALL pizza out here!!!! Today that changed! Their Detroit style pizza is awesome & delicious!!!! Had their fresh & tasty meatball as well. Lorraine who is a sweet hostess was just delightful to chat with and it was nice to meet the owner as well. We will definitely return to Ava's!!!!! Oh, check it out...the ambiance of this establishment is so good!

The Grilled Oyster made me write this review!!! I came here 5 months ago, had a fantastic experience, but I’m terrible at adding reviews (my review count is small vs. some other top contributors). I’m on the eastern shore of MD again and just had a rather mediocre grilled oyster at a different place which instantly triggered the fond memories of Ava’s Grilled Oysters Long winded way of saying... try these amazing Grilled Oysters! And the pizza and everything else. This place is amazing!

We got a glass of Dealer's Choice red and Andeluna Raices Malbec. For food, we ordered Ma's Meatball & the Detroit Pepperoni and Sausage pizza. Everything was amazing. Will definitely return in the future.

Honestly, just had a great time and a excellent meal. Staff was super helpful and friendly. I give them high marks - top notch service. Caesar salad, Detroit style pizza, and meatball sub was off the charts. Really friendly atmosphere - had nice conversations and met some really cool people. I'm coming back next time I’m in St Mikes. Thanks!

Great place for lunch in St. Michael’s. The weather was beautiful and we were seated on the back patio. Our server was friendly. We ordered the season Fall Spritz, the meatball appetizer, and a margherita pizza. It was one of the best meatballs I’ve ever had and the pizza was so good!
