Avellino Bakery & Pizza

If I could rate 0 stars I would. First of all my sister had a gorgeous wedding the only thing off putting was the awful, overpriced catering order she had ordered from Avelinos. The first issue was my sister paid for the catering, thinking she had it all paid for she decided to spend her money elsewhere on the wedding decor and other things, apparently this was not the case she needed another $1900 to pay for DELIVERY. Now $1900 is a lot of money so we thought this must be them serving the food and everything as well, we were wrong this was just for them to drop the food off on the counters And leave. So I helped her pay for delivery as I would not a problem because it’s her special day. This in all costed $3700 in total. There was 3 pans of chicken, 3 pans of beef, 3 pans of mashed potatoes, 3 pans of veggies, 1 meat and cheese platter and 2 veggie plates. Enough food for 200 people which is fine. Everyone got their plates and sat to eat, it was DISGUSTING. For $3700 I could’ve made food that tasted like gold compared to this place, the beef was unbelievable dry and tasteless, the lemon chicken had mushrooms in it also fine although I’ve never heard of mushrooms in lemon chicken, but the chicken was okay, slightly dry as well but not terrible. Mashed potatoes were not mashed whatsoever and tasteless as well, cooked veggies were probably the only thing Worth eating. Every one of the guests had the same opinion including the bride. Don’t get your events catered by these people. Very very unsatisfactory experience.

My new weekly ritual on Tuesday is to order my dinner from Avellinos. Rigatoni with meatballs and Italian sausage. Homemade Italian bread also included. For the price...usually $11, you get your to go container full of delicious pasta with sauce and parmesan cheese. Don't care where you dine in Rutland...for the price, you get enough food for at least 2 meals. Plus I get to support a local business, and a fellow moose lodge member. If you haven't called them before, perhaps give them a call sometime for dinner on a day you're unsure of your dinner plans. You won't be disappointed. I believe orders are taken from 4-7pm. Take out of course.

Their extra cheese pizza is a family favorite, and their catering is fantastic as well. And how about the hogger pizza, need I say more!

Guy I spoke to was very rude towards me for asking simple questions and hung up on me at the end

Have gotten pizza here for years and always a great pie! The people that work here are always polite and thankful for the business! As a matter of fact I am going to order 2 pizzas right now!
