Voted Best Gourmet Pizza in Pasadena
for 13 years 1994-2007,
Pasadena Weekly Readers Poll
"...and I agree" - Elmer Dills
We at AVANTI CAFE are dedicated to providing exciting gourmet cuisine in a comfortable atmosphere.
Our specialty is gourmet pizzas prepared in an imported oak-wood fired Italian oven.
Our pizza dough has been especially formulated to accent a natural oak-wood flavor.
Choose from our delicious assortment of California style toppings, each prepared from freshest ingredients, or select from our many Popular Pasta or Calzone dishes.
Our gourmet pizzas combine the originality of California cuisine with the traditional baking techniques of Italy. We top a specially formulated pizza dough with the freshest ingredients, then bake in an authentic Italian oak-fired oven. All pizzas served with top quality mozzarella cheese.
