And her name is Ava.
And Ava is good.
Correct that – Ava is DAMN GOOD.
It’s been a strange week in the Sumstine house.
I’ve been sick.
Quite sick.
But you know how when guys are sick, they go about their business and don’t complain?
Yeah. We just hunker down, pull up our big boy pants and just keep going.
One might compare a sick man to the Energizer Bunny, we just keep going …. and going ……
Plus, had a bad dealing with someone.
But I don’t want to dwell on that.
I prefer to use my blog for positive energy.
I like to focus on the good.
With that in mind, Charlotte and I have a new place we like to frequent.
It was our 3rd time there tonight, and as per the first 2 times, it did not disappoint.
In fact, we have put that in our Dad/Charlotte dinner rotation.
In fact, it’s not only in the rotation, it might be at the top.
I’ve not written about many places. Yes, I wrote about Buc-ee’s. In fact, I think I’ve written about Buc-ee’s twice.
I also wrote about a certain WaWa and the shenagins that went on there.
But I want to introduce you to a new place.
Ava’s.
It’s new this year to Rehoboth Beach, DE.
Or at least I think it’s new this year.
It’s on the corner of Baltimore Avenue and 1st Street downtown and if you’ve not been there – GO !!!
Sure, traffic is tough getting into Rehoboth Beach this time of year – IT’S WORTH IT !!!
And when you finally get there, parking is well, tough – WHO CARES – GO !!!!
Without a reservation, the wait might be long – SUCK IT UP – WAIT !!!!
Our first trip there, it was Lisa, myself and Charlotte. We started with the Focaccia and it was FANTASTIC.
It was served with a sprinkling of a spice mix that I didn’t recognize, so I asked the server what it was, and she handed me the spice container on our table (that I hadn’t noticed) and said that it was this. I love clever signage and clever tagging of things. And the label on their spice container said at the bottom, “Not meant for your pocket or hangbag”.
I get that – and it’s hilarious.
It’s actual name is ‘Ava’s Pizzaria & Wine Bar’ and it’s very worth the trip.
We’ve been there 3 times and have gotten the same thing all 3 times, the Detroit Deep Dish.
I’m sure they have other good things, but right now, not interested.
What I like most is the very light layer of cheese that’s on the side, kind of a mixture of Mozzarella and Provolone with a sprinkling of Parmesan that gives the outside of the crust the slightest char.
Being Detroit style, you might think it took a while.
Nope – came out pretty quick.
And the price is good too. For Charlotte and I, the pizza and 2 drinks was $27.
Charlotte and I ate there this Saturday night and I asked her, “Charlotte, do you know how good this pizza is?”
Charlotte said, “How good is it?”
I told her, “It’s so good that when we leave if we pass a table and they didn’t eat the crust and left it there, I’m taking it.”
Now, I didn’t do that.
But seriously, it is THAT GOOD.
The server we had tonight our 3rd visit is the same lady that was the server on our 1st visit, and she did recall waiting on us.
I appreciate a server that can be both very friendly and personable, but not be intrusive.
And she was. In both instances, she carried on polite and friendly conversation and then went about working – she was quite busy.
So – Ava’s.
Tell them BecauseJimSays sent you.
Will it help you in anyway?
Probably not – but hey – who knows.
