Circle Pizza — Restaurant in Avalon

A slice is SO nice from this place! A must try for any za fan visiting the Avalon area. If you live here then you already know.

Celebrating 40 Years of Pizza! “Circle Pizza is now owned and operated by the Buchanans, decendents of Avalon's original Pizza family headed by patriarch Mario Vozzella. Mario’s two daughters, Eleonora and Camilla, along with their husbands, Paul Buchanan and Joseph Damiri opened Avalon Pizza on 23rd and Ocean Drive in 1968. We have been serving the best pizza in Avalon and Stone Harbor since then, and in Sea Isle since 2000.

Our secret is simple. We start with the best and freshest ingredients, carefully measuring each one to ensure high-quality, consistency and maximum flavor. We are constantly adding to the menu to keep up with your appetite. If you are ever not satisfied, please let us know.

Baking great pizza is a family tradition from the days when Grandmom Mary Vozzella (nee Mazza) made her square, finger-pressed pizzas on cookie sheets in her Philadelphia kitchen for her 10 grandchildren. Over the years all of the grandchildren and their children, have been elbow-deep in pizza dough. Working in the restaurants became a rite of passage, where many a family memory was made. This “family” includes all the cousins and friends who worked with us over the years from the early mornings in the dough rooms to the wild and crazy late nights, managing the hungry crowds.

The Buchanans would like to thank you on”...

A must stop when visiting Cape May County. Circle Pizza offers a thin crust pie that is tasty. Normally would give it five star, but giving it 4 for the following reasons. While I realize this place is in Avalon, for a 16 inch pie, the price of $21.95 is a bit pricey. While on vacation? I don't mind digging deep, but I would not pay these prices on a regular basis. Also, a sign is posted on menu board that prices are subject to change without notice. While the posted price was $21.95, a large pie was $22.89. The garlic bread that was $6.99 was $7.99 and a small 2 ounce sauce cup w as $1.15. While I understand the need to increase prices, take the time to change the menus.

When I ordered my pie over the phone for pickup, when we arrived, I decided to eat it there being there was nobody sitting in dinning area. I arrived early and requested the pizza be served on a tray being we were going to eat in. After waiting a while, I looked at the to go boxes and noticed the pizza was sitting in a pizza coffin (pizza box). Not sure how long it was sitting , but as we all know, a pie fresh from the oven is much different than one that changes in a box. Yes, I know I ordered takeout and changed my mind, but how hard is it to put it on a tray.

All in all, I will it was a great pizza and I'm sure I'll always stop in. I've never had anything but the pizza so I can't...

They didn't know what a fresh garlic pie was. The guy making the pizza was very rude and kept asking huh? Huh? So we get back to the hotel...the garlic pie with extra cheese was a joke. No garlic unless it was powder. Still didn't taste it. Extra cheese hahaha I would hate to see what the regular cheese pie has on it. So for a large pie with garlic salt and 3 strands of cheese and 2 specialty cups of soup at 2 dollars each. I was charged 29.00 and change. Their price for a large pie on their board was 11.00 + 4.00 for the soup and lets not forget the so called xtra cheese and garlic salt. Which if they were real and fresh would be 2 to 2.50 a topping more. So that's 20.00 ummm where did the 9.00 I was charged for come from? I wouldn't go back there if you paid me to. Try to support local shops and they screw you over. I specifically said fresh garlic. So he made me feel like he was like F you! I'm doing what ever I want and then over charge you. Sad but true....
