    I decided to go here for lunch today, being that I was in the area. I managed to find a parking spot upon arrival. The food at this location is always good every time that I go here. Today I decided to try out their stuffed shells with marinara sauce and garlic bread. The stuffed shells were very good and flavorful and went well with the sauce. The garlic bread was toasty and flavorful. The service was very good today. If I'm in this area again, I'm definitely stopping here again.

    Shoutout to our local community heroes! We have a love for good pizza! We are proud to say we found a great pie! Our standard pizza is double pepperoni and extra cheese. This pizza has great cheese pull and the crust is a perfect toasty base! We get the meatballs for our appetizer. The marinara sauce is balanced and delicious. The mozzarella is a lovely melty indulgence atop these huge meatballs! The meatballs have a soft and tender texture that makes them easy to enjoy. I have to caution myself to wait a bit for the pizza to cool down before engaging in my first bite! I am almost the queen of pizza burns. I Love this pizza enough to crave it! The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and personable. The music is like a 80's flashback... so that is so cool! Clean venue and easy parking!

    Als pizza is definitely some of the best pizza in Jacksonville. This location in particular is very clean with nice friendly staff. The pizza, calamari and mozzarella sticks are my go to!

    Go to V Pizza!!!!! Totally killer pizza and worth the drive. Best by far in JAX! See my review.

    The pizza is always great, perfect crust. The mozzarella sticks - very comparable to Arby's except $10. The salad - not much more than lettuce but small and expensive. Stromboli - not impressive. Haven't tried the pasta yet! The girls working are always sweet but the manager guy always seems annoyed especially if you use coupons but it's not like I'm dining in so I don't care. The restaurant itself always smells bad or like stinky cleaning products so not sure what's up with that.

    Al's Pilsner is good too

    The food and the service is always excellent at Al 's and the ambience as well! Their beer is good too!

    Pubes on pizza

    Would not eat here. Really enjoyed it when I first started going then service and quality went down hill. I ordered a pizza when friends came to town and it was covered in pubes. I reached out to them and they absolutely did not care. They get orders wrong all the time and do nothing to fix it. Better pizza in Jax and way better service else where.

    The AL's I visited was on Philip's highway but this review can serve to shed light on both this location and the one in the Riverside area. The booths and tables are tight. I understand a restaurant wanting to maximize capacity but when a customer is squeezed into a table or booth and feels like the table beside her is less than an arms distance away, it's difficult to hear your company or talk about anything juicy. No complaints with the pizza but then again, it's really hard to find fault with pizza. But the spaghetti is a sad dish. In one word.... bland. This is an Italian restaurant. There needs to be some fresh herbs, some quality pasta, and some sauce that doesn't taste like it's out of a bottle. If I wanted that, I'd make my own horrible spaghetti at home. Sticky. The tables and booths always have a sticky feeling to them. It kinda grosses me out and I can't say for sure but I feel like my feeling ill the next day was because I forgot to wash my hands immediately when I left the restaurant. I did enjoy the side salad; it had just the right amount of onions, tomatoes, and dressing. Our server was very accommodating and attentive. AL's has different specials during the week, so it might be worth visiting for discounted wine and a dollar slice but it's not a "go-to" restaurant anymore.

    Certainly not the worst pizza in Jax but by no means the best! Since I moved to Jax in 2003 I've tried the so called "Best in Jax" three times and never was I impressed. Even after the first time in 2004 I was willing to try it again, but no luck. Now in 2022, the same, it hasn't gotten any better. In fact this last purchase of a large pizza only half was consumed & the rest was fed to our dog but she didn't even love it...ate the crust only! So my results, I will never eat at Al's nor recommend it to anyone. Sorry but not sorry, the truth sometimes hurts.

    Amara Smith and I had a "Girls Date" for lunch today and decided to visit V Pizza in San Marco (off…read moreHendricks). I knew yesterday as soon as I saw the advertisement for the new specials I had to get Layla's Chicken Cutlet Sandwich. My daughter couldn't decide on a calzone or the Mac Attack Pizza and after some deliberation, she landed on the Mac Attack Pizza. We got there just after opening and they already had a few customers in the door, but we didn't have to wait long at all. Our food was ready within 15 minutes and brought out. The chicken cutlet sandwich was everything I had hoped it would be. Tangy, savory, and the cutlets were the perfect thickness. Full of great flavor and fresh mozzarella made this the perfect lunch today. The bread wasn't too soft, nor was it too hard. Baked PERFECT. I would eat this every single day if could. Amara loved her pizza and is excited to have some left over for later when she's playing her video games. I like mac n cheese, but generally I'm not a mac and cheese on pizza kind of gal, so I did not try any as of yet. Maybe she'll let me have a slice later? I was too stuffed from the sandwich for anything else. 10 out of 10 recommend and hubby is a little jealous we went without him.

The entrance felt unclean--glass doors, floor, and mats were all gross--and seeing rodent traps by the front door during the day was a major turnoff.

She was patient and very helpful as well. I ordered a bacon and mushroom pizza. My go to pizza. The places is simple: ovens, slice station, and the prep counter. Exactly what's needed for a pizza place. The mural on the wall listed the 5 boroughs and had the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as the Statue of Liberty. I mean, New York is there. The pizza came out fast and I got back. Here's the thing: Florida is notorious for having lackluster pizza. There's no ways around it. The pizza was cooked perfectly, thin, and a thicker crust. Perfect for folding. The sauce: not too loose and not too thin. Good amount for pizza, regardless of location. Flavor wise, not bad. Cheese and toppings had the right amount so it could incorporate into every bite. Now going back to my statement on Florida pizza. It's better than other Floridian pizzas I've had. It scratched the itch and I definitely enjoyed it. They'll get my business when I come back to Jacksonville!

The ham was below average, with one hard bit. My wife didn't like that there was so little pineapple in it. Our Napoleon pastry was pretty good, and I might get it again ($5 for a small one). We both preferred it to the brownie ($4). I don't particularly like brownies, but this one looked particularly appetizing, and the order-taker said it was one of her favorites, so we tried it. That was a mistake. Perhaps I should have tried the mini cream puffs, which are a favorite of mine (3 for $5), instead. Among other things I usually like, they had carrot cake for $7 and a cup of cheesecake for $9 (which seems steep). Their fruit shaped pastries looked beautiful (and a couple next to us said they loved the mango one), but were $12 each. Their fruit-topped Danishes also looked delicious, but weren't available any more at lunch time. They also offer milk shakes and loaded (sweet) croissants. There are only four stools here next to a bar, if you want to eat in. The bathroom was pretty good. I probably wouldn't come here again, but if I were in the area I might try some of their other pastries or sweet treats.

Julia at the counter must be used to first-timers She was so helpful and didn't seem put-out by all the questions. So many choices. See photos which are self-explanatory. While the fruit options are what they're known for, I thought them pricey, but ok for the optics, and a good flavor. All are made of the same stuff with the contents fruit-appropriate. I couldn't decide on just one, but with my only requirement being "not too sweet", I took the advice of a regular customer and got the lemon which was not too tart or sour and just creamy enough as to be likened to a creamsicle and also the recommendation by Julia who only asked: do you like coffee? To which I replied only with cream and sugar and I got that luscious lovely sl oblong confection. $24 for two pieces of delectable gorgeousness? I wouldn't do this often but it was a very satisfying bit of indulgence. Btw, they can't give you a cup of water, but you can buy a bottle of it. Or sit out back next to the pond with your own water bottle from the car.
