Upon entering Gravina’s Monday afternoon, we were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful modern interior, and can say with utmost confidence it was one of the cleanest restaurants we’ve seen.
The restaurant manager, who immediately greeted us, explained all of the entrées available and even recommended a few dishes.
Gravina is primarily a pizza restaurant but also features a selection of other meals including a few soups, create-your-own salads, and a variety of sandwiches.
A dish that caught my taste buds was the Napoli sandwich, an interesting variation on the traditional tomato, basil, and mozzarella classic.
There is such a variety beyond just sandwiches and pizzas. They also have side dishes such as a version of calzones and Aracinos.
The Aracinos we had was particularly good, with sweet peas (instead of the one with meat). I can one hundred percent say that it was delicious. It had a cheesy inside and was surrounded by a crispy yet doughy outside with sweet peas mixed in.
As one customer left, they commented, “you haven’t tasted dough on pizza until you’ve had Gravina pizza,” which, as I quickly discovered, was true.
In fact, I’m not entirely sure, but the employees of Gravina might be harboring a secret set of magical elves behind the counter, considering their bread and pizza crust somehow manages to be both crunchy and doughy at the same time. Elves or not, the pizza was phenomenal.
Not only was the food delicious and fresh, but the staff was amazing. Informing us about ingredients and answering my many questions with a smile. They were timely and created a nice atmosphere.
While a little pricier than some spots, it is totally worth it. At the end of the meal, we had eaten to our hearts’ content for around $30. This restaurant is sure to be a family favorite and a great place to grab a bite with your friends.
