    Awesome experience my first time! Excellent, friendly customer service and delicious pizza at a great price! Highly recommend the lunch special, it's all you'll need because the slices are HUGE!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Wow! Great experience! Food was great. Each staff member went out of their way to say "have a good one" as I left. Very satisfied.

    On a housesitting trip to Jacksonville, food was needed. After searching and searching, Bala's…read morecaught my attention. I walked in and instantly I was greeted. 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.

We ordered one with pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers. While we waited for that, we started with an Antipasto salad. The salad was good, just basic. Soon the star of the show came out. Hot and steaming. The deep dish was very good. A bit watery though. Maybe they didn't dry off the banana peppers. Still, it was delicious. A 10" pizza cut into quarters. 1 slice was more than enough for a person. Inside is cute with a very artistic flare. Not a lot of tables. Probably the one thing they can do is put up some sun shades. Late afternoon, early evening, that sun is blasting pretty hard. It was toasting my back pretty well. Give Mamas a try for some very good Chicago pizza.
