Ava Pizzeria Neapolitan
1910 N Ola Ave, Tampa, FL
Ava Pizzeria Neapolitan serves authentic wood-fired pizzas from a vendor stall within the historic Armature Works food hall on the Tampa waterfront.
Located inside the Heights Public Market, this pizzeria specializes in Neapolitan-style pies cooked at 900 degrees in an Italian-made Acunto oven. The dough is crafted using a natural sourdough starter and aged for three days before being topped with fresh ingredients such as San Marzano tomatoes and Florida-sourced mozzarella.
The restaurant is situated in a beautifully restored 1910 streetcar warehouse that features high ceilings, industrial charm, and communal seating. After grabbing a meal, visitors can head outside to the spacious waterfront lawn along the Hillsborough River to enjoy views of the Tampa skyline and the surrounding Heights District.
