Avenue kitchen + bar

Avenue kitchen + bar in Ball Square serves Detroit-style pizza alongside a menu with plenty to share. The pies include meatball and ricotta, mushroom and broccoli rabe, and a blackened short-rib version with Gorgonzola. You can start with duck wings in maple-chili sauce or pierogi before deciding how much room is left for pizza.

Vegetarian and vegan choices extend beyond a side salad, with cauliflower tacos, seitan wings, and a Beyond Burger on the menu. Brunch takes a different direction, including breakfast bowls and maple-cinnamon bread-pudding French toast. The Boston Avenue restaurant also has a patio for outdoor meals when it’s open. Reservations and takeout are available, giving you options for both a planned dinner and a meal at home.
