University Ave Pizzeria — Restaurant in San Bernardino

I dig this place. Have never had pizza exactly like that before. It is thinner than what you’re used to and not ooey gooey cheese but very tasty. Love trying all different styles with differing regional influences. Reminds me of a mixture of a less greasy (I like that it’s less greasy but yet flavorful without making me want to get on a treadmill) New York style and kind of borrowed from a more traditional Neopolitan from Naples (the birthplace of modern pizza). Thin, yet flavorful crust that’s somehow soft and crispy. Love the use of garlic and their pepperoni selection personally. Good selection on toppings in general. Sauce isn’t over the top, more simplistic. But really love that it’s not cheapened by a sugar to cheaply boost but has more of a savory to go with that garlic butter and dusting on the crust. Would love some more use of basil personally but still like. They also offer pesto or Alfredo sauce options and a BBQ chx specialty choice. If you get the pizza fresh out of the oven, the pizza somehow has a crunch as well but then replaced by the softness of the cheese. And once again, not overly cheesy. It doesn’t have to be. I questioned when I first saw it too, but it works. I’m a texture eater and it actually creates the crunch and soft in your mouth. I enjoy this dichotomy. I’ve tried to recreate it at home. But can’t. Haha Service has always been respectful and efficient. Place is always clean and bright. Honestly, I’m a coach and my whole team enjoys their pizza. If the Yotes are having a pizza and bowling party, this is where we’re getting the pizza. The ladies love the buffalo chicken, all-meat and a cheese with basil, mushrooms and onions (make your own) pizza.

And don’t really get the complaints about price. Order online on webwednesday and enter that code and you get half off a large pizza. Can’t beat that. Less than 10 bucks for a large tasty pizza?! I pretty much have pizza for dinner at least 2 Wednesdays/month. Or students get a free drink and garlic knots with a pizza order if they show ID. Look at the specials, my friends.

The 4 stars was bc I did get a pasta and I would like to see you develop it more. Wasn’t terrible, but I didn’t find the same consideration in that pasta that I found in the pizza. If you did a mushroom, bacon, roasted tomato (finish with basil always 😂) in a lighter garlic butter sauce with an angel hair, sounds delicious. Or even something similar with a creamy pesto and fettuccine, with an add chicken or sub tofu option for the vegetarians; finish with parm and roasted pine nuts 🤔) could be bomb. Just an idea. But overall, keep it up University Ave Pizza, keep growing. I like what...

The pizza box is a little greasy as the pictures show but that is normal for most pizza places these days. The pizza itself is not very greasy. It is not very thick but that’s a good thing. The bread is very soft, even after you microwave it. The toppings are good they provide a fair amount. The cheese is good it does not fall off in chunks as some pizzas do.

The crust is seasoned with garlic and it’s good. The underside of the pizza is similar to papa John’s. However, this pizza is better because it’s softer. It’s not the best pizza but it’s better than frozen pizza and it’s better than Caesar’s. It’s a modestly good pizza and it’s definitely worth buying again.

They have good customer service as well, they provide plates, crushed peppers and Parmesan cheese. The garlic bread bites are seasoned with Parmesan cheese and garlic herbs, there is nothing on the inside but the bread is soft and good. Prices are fair as well. Overall, a good pizza place.

(Note: The second picture of the underside of the pizza is not a greasy underside of the pizza. The shade makes it appear darker or greasy...

This place was recommended in a post. I was so disappointed.

When my order was ready, they explained they accidentally made my order twice.

Unfortunately, my order wasn’t made correctly. I ordered half veggie and half no topping. I received an entire veggie pizza. We waited a long time and now, my 3 year can’t eat the food (she only eats cheese pizza) and it’s too much veggie topping to pick out…

I ordered wings but with sauce on the side (to accommodate my 3 year old). Unfortunately, again, I learn that the chicken itself is not seasoned. It was gross...
