Avers Pizza East

There’s a buffet! Did you know that? Very cheap buffet and in the cold weather they have soup in addition to their salads. Avers has so many interesting types of pizza and they display those all out for you to try. You can also serve yourself ranch, or any dressing, as a dipping sauce and you might as well just put it in a bowl to refrain from keep getting up!

I’ve always enjoyed Avers Pizza, but never even knew the East Side restaurant existed until tonight. However, it was a little hard to find since the sign lights were off. We went here for the dinner buffet and I was a big fan! There was a wide range of pizza selection AND the salad bar was included in the dinner buffet. The service was great and the pizza replenishments were quick. The only one that was missing was the Monkey Bread, but hopefully it’ll be there the next time we go!

Best service and accommodations I have received in a long while. Thank you to everyone who made my children’s first birthday such a great event. I can’t say enough about how great the service was today.

Let me say that at Aver’s the pizza is always 5 stars. The service, however, leaves a lot to be desired. I’ve been getting pizza from Aver’s for the last 3 years now, and I’ve come to find that getting your order right is more the exception than the rule. For example, today I ordered cheesesticks. No tomato or ranch sauce, which they are supposed to come with. Do you really want me to call and complain so the delivery guy (who was already morose to begin with — seriously, something didn’t seem right) can come back in 20 mins to deliver two sauces? Its the little things make all the difference. I feel like an old hag complaining about customer service, but is it really so much to ask to just get an order right? It really is a shame, because the pizza is really, really good.

We called this location both Sunday night and tonight Monday night and both times we tried to place a delivery order with them and were told that they were too busy to take delivery orders and only had one driver. I have heard it all now. I did leave a message on the Corporate office answering machine and wont hold my breath for a response. I see a pattern here in this town with a don’t care attitude because the town is a revolving door of students so why bother to give good service we will have a new batch of students next semester. You can get a pizza anywhere in town so why not at least try to be competitive. We have never eaten here and probably never will. I don’t think I have ever been so hungry that I needed to beg someone to take m money. If less than one star was possible that is what they would get.

We ordered four pizzas for family event, and they disappeared without a complaint. The Cream and Crimson was popular, but I don’t do gorgonzola. I was very pleased with the deluxe and our custom made pizzas. The crust was not too doughy. They use quality toppings. They pizzas were definitely a hit.

Excellent excellent pizza. Crazy avers deal is amazing– medium one topping pizza, two drinks, two cookies, breadsticks, and sauce for 13 bucks. Their pizza is honestly amazing and their ranch dressing dipping sauce is perfection. Their breadsticks, however, are lacking. I prefer pizza x’s breadsticks personally– they seem to have a bit more flavor. Aside, this place is honestly one of my favorite places in Bloomington. The east side store (by college mall) is never over crowded and the people are genuinely friendly. I believe they also have a reasonable lunch buffet as well.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that the employees here know me and my husband as «regulars» and ask us if we even need a menu. The bbq chicken masterpiece is a personal favorite and also the Hog Wild (not listed, but sometimes a special or on the buffet). It’s most definitely the best pizza buffet in town. Not too expensive and you can even get a beer after work with your breadsticks. Super good!

This is a belated review that I’ve been meaning to write for some time. On New Year’s Eve or Day (I don’t remember which), my brother and I requested pizza delivery from Aver’s. It was a treat, as our finances had not been good in 2014, and we decided to order pizza for the first time in a long time to celebrate and to hope for a better year.
Our pizza was delivered by Justin, and he was very quick despite the bad weather. Talking with him lifted my spirits during a very cold and dark night, and I was very touched when he wished me a sincere Happy New Year. The pizza was delicious — for all you vegans out there, the cilantro pesto without cheese is the way to go.
Perhaps this review seems more based on emotion than on objectivity, but it has been proven that food and memories are powerfully intertwined. I am very grateful for the wonderful service and food I received from Aver’s, and am happy upon remembering that 2015 was started with a good warm meal.

Great tasting, truly gourmet pizza. We received our food promptly when dining in. The service was attentive and professional. They offer a lunch buffet, but we were there for dinner.
I prefer going here and enjoying the creative flavors to the much hyped Mother Bear’s. If you’re looking for a local dine-​in pizza experience with parking, come here. You will love the incredible freshness and reasonable prices. You will also be avoiding much of the touristy crowd.

Aver’s pizza is most definitely delicious. I am a huge fan of Popeye vs Dracula, but more importantly the delivery driver named Trevor is extremely attractive and friendly.

I’ve ordered from there a few times since this last review, and not only is it always delicious, the delivery guys are always early and always super nice. Awesome.

Ordered Cuban black bean and cream and crimson pizzas and both were really good. The Cuban black bean was a great option for the vegetarian. It was spicy and had the correct amount of toppings. One thing I notice is one piece is very filling so even though the price is big it is a good value,
The Cream and Crimson pizza demonstrates the creative combinations available, who would think of potatoes on pizza? The combination with bacon and gorgonzola cheese is an acquired taste. The service was good. They even offered a coupon that we were not aware of.

I really don’t enjoy Aver’s pizza. Great way to start a review, right?
So I think their dough is fundamentally kind of gross. Bland, if anything slightly too sweet. Weird. And if the most basic foundation of the pizza is mediocre, how could you possibly come back from that?
The cheese is abundant and fine, the sauce is tolerable, if not slightly too much poured on for my taste. I’ve heard things about how the specialty pizzas are great. I’m happy that they exist for you, but if you can’t make me a fabulous, straight up delicious cheese pizza, come on! I’m not going to let you redeem yourself by piling on 2 lbs. of chicken, cheeses and extra veggies.
Perhaps I’ll try one of these specialty pies, or perhaps their lunch buffet which I also hear is good, but I can pay almost half from a chain for a simple cheese pizza and get literally the same thing, my apologies.
I added an extra star for the one time I ordered delivery: it was incredibly speedy and piping hot when it arrived, so kudos there. Also, my IU affiliated association often buys pizzas for events, and Avers has always given us a great deal so that is appreciated.

Really good pizza and a nice little restaurant. I’m a fan!

I’ve always had good experiences with the staff.
They have many vegan options (not labeled unfortunately. As of the time of this post the dough, marinara, cilantro pesto, BBQ, and buffalo sauces are vegan, and all the veggies you’d expect).
I’ve had experience with student organization donations from them and they’re very kind.
I like to get pizza with cilantro pesto sauce, no cheese, artichoke hearts, and red onion.

I consider this pizza place one of the better pizzas in town. The cool thing about this place is all the unusual «exotic» specialty pizzas they have. You’ve just got to try! Fresh all the way!

Before moving to Bloomington, I mostly ate national chain pizza. Now, I throw away the coupons for them when they come in the mail because I know that IF I’m going to eat pizza, it’s going to be Aver’s.
Cream and Crimson, duh. Do it. But even better than that (Wait, something better?) is the Aver’s freaking-​miracle-​Oh-​Thank-​you-​Happy-​days-​Hallelujah buffet. Oh, sweet pizza in my mouth. For $ 6.99 ($ 6.99!!!) you get all you can eat soup, breadsticks, salad bar, and dunduhduhhhhh, Aver’s freaking specialty pizzas. Go look at their website to see which ones are out today. (Sometimes you can ask for a specific one, and they’ll bring it!!!)

I’ll start this review by admitting that I’m a die-​hard Mother Bear’s fan. Upon hearing the near constant comparison between Mother Bear’s and Aver’s, I decided to give the latter a try. I decided from other Unilocal reviews that the Cream & Crimson was the pizza to try, and let me tell ya, I was surprised how delicious it is. Red potato on a pizza sounded taboo to me, but now I see that it’s wrong in allllll the right ways. Aver’s makes a darn good pie.

My favorite pizza place in Bloomington! You can never go wrong with the Crazy Aver’s deal! You get a medium pizza, bread sticks, 2 fountain drinks, and cookies! Perfect deal for college students!
All their signature pies are delicious in their own way. My two favorites are the cream and crimson and the veggie revival!
In addition to carry out, this location has a pizza buffet for lunch!
