Updated : The owner reached out to me, very friendly, and offered to replace my pizza with no charge, ordered the lil avas special, double peperoni double mozzarella and cheddar cheese, delicious pizza, but in my opinion for double toppings it was still a little lacking, personal opinion though. It was very tasty, not quite what I was expecting for double toppings. Ordered the meat pizza with a Greek salad and a few cans of soda, the pizza I was able to hold by the crust and it came out like a piece of cardboard, didn't bend at all, it had the smallest amount of topping I have ever seen on a pizza of that kind, for $35 for a medium I was expecting more. The Greek salad was good, but also pricy for its size at $15, very unimpressive. For the $60 I spent there on 1 pizza and a salad, I could have went to 73 and got 2 large pizzas wings and another side with 4 drinks and it still would have been cheaper and had more toppings, I will not be going back there again.

Best pizza i ever had, the staff was very accommodating they are very humble and polite. The interior of restaurant is beautiful. It is a nice and warm place. The pizza crust was perfect they really know how to cook their pizza perfectly. Don’t have single complaints. They do fulfill the expectations of customers. My new place to go. Coming back for sure

I have visited this establishment a few times. In terms of rating, I would assert that this venue deserves a 10/10. My cousin and I sampled Lil Ava's East Coast Donair Pizza, and our experience exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend this place.thanks lil Ava's great service

Showed up 5-10 mins after closing, (didn’t realize the time) and the owner(?) still made us some pizza and onion rings. The onion rings were so delicious and crunchy! The pizza was also delicious, the crust was the best part in my opinion. Would definitely recommend to eat out or take out from this place!! Also 10/10 would order again…

Went in for fries and poutine. Only ones in the place, tables were greasy, had to call out at the front to get someones attention. Took over 20 minutes to get our food. Had to check to see if it was still coming. Poutine was lukewarm at best. The orders of fries were barely warm and the side gravy was cold and congealing. Nicely decorated, and menu looked good but was disappointed nonetheless.

Simple pizza place, fast, and they actually put lots of toppings on You dont have to worry about getting lame bread with some sauce and cheese. You will actually get what you order, loaded with good toppings. a small 10 pizza is plenty, despite not sounding very large.

What can I say? I eat a lot of pizza lol. Coast to coast, you have now beat out a vancouver joint for being my favorite BC pizza, great toppings, ample cheese, tangy flavorful sauce, good crisp. Excellent customer service when I call. Delivery drivers are super nice. If you are in PG you need to try this pizza or youre missing put big time.

Ordered pizza few weeks ago, was delicious. Have not had good pizza from months, and I think lil ava would be my go to place every time I crave pizza. Pizza was perfectly cooked, toppings were enough, I requested for jalapeños, which I really liked on my vegetarian pizza. Thank you keep up the good work !!

Best pizza in town, very generous with toppings, cooked to perfection. Staff are super friendly very time and quick to make an order. Prices are good considering the economy. Plus on weekends theyre open until 3am, online ordering is easy to pay ahead of time for delivery or you can call to pay when you pickup. 10/10 will order from them again..and again :)

Charging an extra $5 for store bought gluten free crust is a real nice touch. 40 dollars for the WORST pizza Ive ever tried. Avoid this ripoff at all costs.

Edit to original post* the owner contacted me and said when I was back in Prince George he would make it upto me, which he did. My wife and daughter went back and had food which was quick and delicious, thanks to Jasvinder for reaching out and making it upto us, it shows good management by listening to their customers* *Original post*Food was decent, the service was lack luster. We were told it was 30 mins for our pizza we waited over an hour and half they seemingly lost ours, supposedly delivery guy gave wrong order to someone and we were forgotten. We realized something was up when people after us got their pizzas. We werent the only ones quite a few people didnt get their pizza or service. The employees are learning and were apologizing for the mistake and refunded us. The people who were sat were confused as they thought someone was going to take their order as they didnt realize they had to order up front. All in all it was ok... Id wait a bit for them to work out the kinks.

The pizza are incredible and loaded with topping #1 in town. And there in house lasagna was delicious as well good size portions. And they recently got donairs now and we tried them. The meat was chopped up not great all chunky and long strains of the onion and it was cold. Love the place but gotta cut up their meat and cut up onions into little cubes . And stream up the wrap before filling it.. when we got ours it was cold but bland

The food was decent, I ll give them that but the service wasn t great. When you walk in, staff will gesture for you to sit down where there are menus on the tables, but they don t come and take your order. You have to order at the till, which is fine, but they don t tell you that? I think it just needs to be more clear that this isn t much of a dine-in place and you need to order up front. Just bad communication skills I find. They need music or something playing in there as well, it s awkwardly quiet and really cold.

We came here last night excited to try the pizza. We ordered at 5:45 and were told 30 minutes. 50 minutes in we re still waiting and someone who ordered after us got their pizza. We went and asked and they said it s coming. 1hr in the other person after us got their pizza. We asked again. They start scrambling and tell us it was sent with a delivery driver and they re making a new one which will be 10 minutes. It was still 22 minutes after that time. So nearly 1.5hrs for two basic pizzas (one cheese, one pepperoni). I get it, they re new, mistakes happen. BUT in that time we seen them somehow lose 5 other peoples orders. There was a lot of angry people waiting an hour for their 30 min pizza. One demanded a refund and left after his hour. We were told you can have a refund if you want only after a table next to us said I hope you re giving them a refund . They did refund us, and were very apologetic which we appreciated but this many errors and missing pizzas should not have happened. Especially with that many staff members. The pizza itself was fine. Not the best pizza I ve had, but not the worst. If you re wanting to try it I highly suggest you wait a month until they can figure things out better.

This is the second time we have had pizza from lil Ava s , the first time was delivery , tonight we dined in . Everything about the pizza was amazing , the sauce , a lot of toppings , the crust and it was cooked in proper brick pizza oven . Both times the service was really good , very polite and our pizza arrived in 20 mins like they said it would be . You have to order from the front which is no big deal and they checked a couple times if we needed anything else .. depends on what you like but my opinion best pizza in Prince George hands down . Vegetarian options: A few options available , vegetarian pizza , Greek and cheese and there could be more it s what I noticed Parking: You can park in the hotel parking lot or on the street
