Was definitely not my favorite visit to Al's Pizza. We stopped in using a Clipp certificate. The restaurant itself was very clean, well organized, and inviting. Our waitress was friendly and accommodating, and we were able to sit wherever we preferred. She gave us plenty of time to look over the menu, and service overall was above average. We ordered two waters, a glass of wine, and a large 16-inch vegetable pizza, which was priced at $28 -- a bit on the higher side. Everything seemed fine until the pizza arrived. After a few bites, we both noticed an unusual taste. After some process of elimination, we realized it wasn't the sauce but the diced tomatoes on top. They tasted off, as if they may have been past their prime. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was subpar, even though the service was above par. Overall, I'd rate the experience a 2.5, but I'm giving it a 2 in hopes they improve. read more

This review is for their lunch specials, and I had the chicken Alfredo and it was average. Nothing notable but I ate it. The staff though, they are great, friendly and service was fast so I am thankful for them. The place is your average restaurant vibe, and okay spot to have a sit in lunch. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Walking into Al's Pizza, we were happy to find a well thought out, contemporary interior that has comfortable seating, attractive light fixtures, and interesting decorative features such as "wooden" beams. We were greeted upon entering, and told that we could sit anywhere we liked, which gave us lots of options as the restaurant only had 2 other occupied tables! We selected a booth near a window, sat down, and while the table was clean, we discovered that the booth seats were not. Our waitress was friendly, but we felt she was anxious to get our order, serve us, and get us out! After telling her that we needed a few minutes to look at the menu, we ordered an appetizer of garlic parmesan wings, a small house salad, and a medium mushroom, garlic, and pepperoni pizza, expecting the food to come out in that order. Instead, she brought everything at once. After we had barely started eating, she asked if we wanted a box to take the pizza home. She tried to remove my salad plate while I was halfway through it. Maybe if there were more customers to keep her busy, she would have backed off a bit? The wings were crispy on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside, but the garlic parmesan sauce was very weak-tasting. I could taste some garlic, but I think they totally forgot about the parmesan. The house salad was really good: fresh, crisp romaine lettuce (although I think that the menu listed baby greens) piled high with red cabbage, paper-thin onions, shredded carrots, tomato, and shredded mozzarella cheese. The salad dressings, unfortunately, were thin and watery. I had ordered creamy Italian, and my hubby, the Bleu cheese. The pizza was just okay. The sauce had a slightly sour, acidic taste, and the crust tasted as though it was made from Bisquick. On the plus side, the toppings were plentiful. My rating breaks down to this: ambiance, 4 stars; service, 2 stars; food 3 stars. read more

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. read more

I ordered a pizza on door dash. Just so you know, when you order Al's on Door Dash, they take the ticket and deliver it themselves! Took over an hour for my pizza to arrive. When it arrived, I got one knock on the door. I opened the door and the pizza was sitting on the ground. Pizza was not what I ordered and it was cold!!! Tried to contact DD, but because Al's uses their own delivery through DD, I wasn't eligible for a refund! Al's Pizza SUCKS!!!!!!!!! read more

Always good pizza. Jaxksonville is not a Pizza Mecca. But Al's is as consistent and satisfying.

Is a cold beer too much to ask for? And straight oil for salad dressing? The first one, not going to hold this one on our server Ellen. The beer (draft) I ordered was simply not cold, which I kindly requested to send back for another that might be colder. The second one was not any better. Isn't that beer serving 101? If it's not cold, or at least kinda cold, don't serve it! We ordered two antipasto salads, which came out fresh made, good quality, and a healthy portion. It came with oil & vinegar dressing on the side. However, instead of dressing it was served with straight oil...no vinegar, no seasonings, just oil. How did we know right! Both salads ruined. Came in for a cold beer and a delicious salad, left with a bad experience altogether. C'mon folks, pay attention. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

Went into ALS Sunday evening ordered a pizza took over 30 minutes to get the pizza gentleman brought it out - the tray the pizza was cold . The pizza was cold I said the pizza is not hot he felt the tray and said you want me to throw it back in the Owen ? I said well we have already waited 30 minutes for the pizza we were hungry we told him no we did not want to wait another 30 minutes. In the mean time a party of 6 we're complaining amongst each other. Papa has not got his lasagna yet. They were completely finished with their pizza Kim the server brought to their table earlier. We noticed a sub that sat under the heat lamp for 22 minutes. I wonder who's food that was come on. You've got to do better than this. You're gonna lose business, your staff advises they were backed up. How can you back up a pizza that sat on the shelf with no heat lamp as we sat there and watched it. There's no communication amongst the workers I work in a restaurant business That food would not have sat up there that long I would've taken it out for somebody. This is a disgrace. This is your business an employee can make or break a business. Remember that. Boy the health department needs to come in there to see how long this food sits before it is served. We should not have to ask for hot food. We should not have to ask to have our tea refilled. We should not have to ask for silverware. Only at Al's you have to ask for the necessity to eat and to have to keep asking for more drinks. Kim said to go ahead and put a review of our experience well here it is. I once worked in a restaurant that some of my customers would tell me if someone so was working they would not come in the restaurant the next time I would come into Al's pizza I will ask who's working so I know not to come in. Good luck Al the staff you've got now you will need it read more

Sneaky, good pizza, been along time customer since they opened. They are doing things like the government, behind our backs, charging us for paying by credit card and not being upfront. read more

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. read more

Original review: I can get behind minimalism, but not when it comes to the toppings on my pizza. Al's is some of my favorite local pizza but whoever made this one got stingy with the basil and tomatoes. Update: Came back and they got it right! 5 stars all the way this time read more

We decided to go here on a Friday night. We were seated right away and asked what drink we wanted. My daughter in love wanted a beer so it came right away. We ordered a deluxe pizza with one side green peppers. Lots of green peppers for sure. The pizza was delicious and on the thinner side just like I like it. Our server was friendly and attentive. read more

Kind of surprised to discover this place doesn't have a higher rating. My visit here came in the middle of a series of consecutive days of eating pizza...and this was (by some margin) the best. Plenty of pizza options including some less common ones. The pizza was well-executed, service was attentive and competent, if not extraordinary. In an area without a lot of strong pizza choices, I will definitely try to come again when I'm out this way. read more

I love pizza. It just might be one of my top 5 favorite foods. I know... true foodies should favor more refined foods, but you know what? When food is prepared properly with fresh ingredients, the simplest of things can be spectacular. Now, that being said, even a mediocre pizza is a good pizza for me. Al's Pizza makes a pretty good pizza. The food was good, but the service was below average. It looked to me like poor management. There didn't seem to be anyone in charge, just a smattering of young people lounging around, and a few cooks in the back learning around the corner for any females that might walk by. read more

We drove across town to eat here because it said they were open until 10:00, we got there at 9:15 and saw they had all the chairs upside down on the tables. They acted annoyed we were there and stated "you can put in a to go order" with an attitude. Would 10/10 not recommend wasting your time coming here. read more

Bought a large pizza from Al's with the $4 off coupon we found in the local magazine sent to our apartment. Pizza is thin and not greasy. Website is easy to use but if you are trying to us a coupon say you are paying in cash and then bring in the coupon and you can pay with a card after the coupon is removed. read more

Not good but not bad. The pizza dough is overly soft and flavorless. There is almost no sauce on the slice and the cheese has a weird taste. The garlic wings were more like cream wings and had 0 spice. The garlic bread had 0 fresh garlic and instead was margarine with garlic powder on toast. Nothing was good but nothing was terrible. read more

I have been to many of the Al's locations and have LOVED this pizza in the past. Then something changed..... I remember a day when you had to wait in line to get a seat.....however on this day...I walked right in and was seated right away. The place was EMPTY...albeit it was 5:15pm on a Monday....but by the time we left the place looked more alive. The wait staff was pleasant enough and very attentive. We were the only table she had for some time...so that should be expected. We ordered the Zucchini fries to start with and then the veggie pizza AND the Italian pizza. (we were a little hungry) The zucchini fries were SO good. Let me warn you, they are breaded pretty thick and deep fried, but oh so good! Served with BOTH ranch and Marinara sauce. Perfect for the three of us. Then out come the pizzas....piping hot looking so fresh! The veggie was spot on, even the broccoli had a crisp snap! But all the toppings: black olives, broccoli, fresh spinach, green peppers, mushrooms, red onions, and Roma tomatoes were ripe! The Italian: Ham, salami, pepperoni, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, banana peppers, topped with a swirl of pesto was to die for! This pizza made me glad I visited Al's again! I had a delightful night with great company and delicious food! I will give them another chance....again! :) read more

My husband loves this place. Says they've the best Margarita pizza and mussels. Though somewhat of a franchise, their flavors taste very small business like. The picture is off the pizza, barbecue wings, fried zucchini (my favorite). I recommend eating in to get the full flavors of the food. Slices are usually precooked and toppings added per order. read more

My husband wanted spaghetti so we ordered from Al's pizza. We also got the bacon and feta cheese white pizza. The spaghetti had next to no sauce and the noodles were tasteless. I understand people not having salt but you HAVE to put salt in the water to cook the spaghetti. The pizza also was tasteless, it seriously had no taste. We tried Al's about 4 years ago and didn't like it then either. We made a big mistake trying it again. read more

We eat at Al's all the time but were so disappointed with our most recent experience. Not only did it take around 45 minutes to get our food but the waitress never said anything to us about why until right before we got our pizza and then told us the printer had stopped working. They did give us a large to try to make up for it. The pizza was not very hot. We then were not told the kitchen would be closing despite the fact that we heard the waitress tell the table next to us. The whole reason we came was for zeppolis. We then told the waitress we wanted zeppolis and she said she had to see if the kitchen was still open at 8:44 p.m. She came back and said it wasn't open. As we were leaving we saw people still without food. The kitchen staff was also extremely loud and we even heard some cursing. Not the experience we hoped for. Definitely will not be coming back. read more

The food was amazing, the delivery driver? Not so much. Just a helpful hint for delivery drivers, if you do not like delivering, please do not be a delivery driver and if you are, please do not complain to the customers at how horrendous the 10 minute drive was. Good food though! read more

We like this Al's! Newer remodel which is nice and we've always had great service here. We have a small dog and they've let us bring her into the front seating area while we wait for our to-go order and everyone is extremely friendly here.

I ordered the huge thick pizza the other night and was a little disappointed. Thick pizzas have cooking problems with cooking the insides enough before the top burns. It was really undercooked in the middle. I would say the green peppers were raw and never got hot. I was hungry and ate it. The next day I cooked the leftovers in the oven for a bit to cook the insides. It was good then. If they worked on cook times and made sure they were done it would be better. 2-3 times they have been like that. Nice people, thinner pies were good. read more
