    First try at Al's!! Awesome pizza here!
    Ron R.

    From looking at past reviews, I could see that Al's Pizza has a bit of a checkered history. But not on this day! Today it was excellent! This Neptune Beach pizza outlet has a great location and some neat things you learn later that you didn't expect. My honey had eaten here in the past but now it was my turn to check it out. Though I once managed a Domino's Pizza shop years ago, I still love pizza and I try to not be too picky but do appreciate the uniqueness of each individual ma and pa pizza shop or brand name. Al's has a few stores in town. However, this is the only one that has a wood-fired stone oven - and it makes a HUGE difference in the taste and quality of the pizza. We got the deluxe, which has all the basics you'd expect, like pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, onions, etc. The marinara sauce underneath and the cheese were supreme! However, the crust was the star of the show. It was the best (by far) in-shop crust I've ever tasted. It was baked perfectly and had a beautiful crispness underneath the topping that really enhanced this pie! I could eat it again and again for sure! The lasagna was a single order split in two so we each could have our own serving. It was a tomatoey marinara sauce (and lots of it) with the lasagna - cheese lovers will appreciate it too. A great compliment to the pizza itself. Also, the salad that came with the pizza was balanced, filled with fresh and colorful lettuce, tomatoes, and other usual toppings. The balsamic vinaigrette dressing was very good as well. It wasn't very busy during our visit, but people were filtering in and out picking up carry out orders. The shop is clean, well-organized, with a nice variety of seating. I love the outdoor patio and plan to eat out there next time I go when the weather is cooler. It has a nice canopy and just seems to be an enjoyable spot to sit for a meal. Our server, Sommer, was courteous and took good care of us during the visit. I appreciate the general manager, Brittany, for sharing some details about Al's Pizza, especially about the lumbered wall! No! The lumber in this wall is not saved to burn up in the wood-fired oven! It's actually wood from fallen trees that fell during Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Matthew was the worst storm of the season that year and created a significant amount of damage in JAX before doing its worst damage in the Carolinas. She also said that for a period of time this wood harbored bees that would show themselves around the shop, but that's not the case anymore. Well, funny thing I forgot to tell her is, that while I was outside shooting pictures of the building, a bee suddenly showed up and began to pester me!! So, I would tell Brittany, they appear to be around still! Well, in the end it was a very satisfying first visit to this restaurant. Yes, it is one I greatly look forward to doing again! Recommend: HIGH

    I was craving some pizza and was in the Neptune Beach area and decided to stop by this place. Super clean, friendly staff, quick service and delicious fire grilled pizza. I'm from New York and I am picky about my Pizza. I love the red sauce they use and the cheese and dough is just the right amount. I will definitely be back.

    I miss the old Al's interior when I first started dating my husband because it reminded me of being inside a hobbit hole. That said, the pizza and calzones still hit the spot as they always have. The Mediterranean calzones are crispy and golden on the outside with scrumptious olives, cheeses goodness on the inside.

    The service is great, there's plenty of parking and the food is tasty. I enjoyed my all meat calzone, it was just the perfect size. The mozzarella sticks nice and crunchy not chewy at all and the pizza had a lovely sauce. Overall great tasting food!

    Let me start by saying it was a very rainy Friday night. So I expected pizza places to be pretty busy. We were in no rush. I ordered Al's pizza through DoorDash around 6pm figuring I would be supporting a local business as well as having the option for more delivery drivers. I ordered two 14" pizzas. One greek and one barbecue chicken at about $24 each. We have had Al's pizza before and it was really good. About an hour goes by and the order status hasn't updated. Just says preparing your order. The delivery time keeps getting pushed back. Another 30 min goes by and it's still in the same status. I click on the get help with your order button and it says Al's pizza handles their own deliveries and I need to call the store directly. So I click on the phone number and it just says the number is not in service. I try it again and same thing. Suddenly the status updates and says order complete. We checked everywhere out front and no pizzas had arrived. So I reached out to door dash customer service for help. Stated my issue and said we never received our food. So we gave up and placed an order to another local shop. Pizza was delivered about 40 min later. As we are relaxing (around 8pm) our dogs start barking and we realize someone is at our front door. It was the Al's pizza we had ordered over two hours ago. We brought the pizza inside and opened it up. It was completely charred and burnt. Thankfully we had eaten bc it was not edible. I know businesses can get overwhelmed and I know mistakes happen. But we didn't receive a call, update or anything and had no way to reach the store. They should have never delivered a product the way they did. Even if it had been on time it was toast. And for $24 each no thanks. Sadly we will stick with our other local favorites.

    Good deal. Especially for this neighborhood.

    Decent New Jersey/ New York style pizza. I'm not gonna say that it is the greatest but it's pretty good, the price is spot on. You can get a slice for three dollars anytime nothing really to complain about here. People are friendly.

    Cedar and Olive was hands down the best meal in Jacksonville…read more We went for lunch and were guided by the warmest, most helpful staff. Let me tell you about the Tawook Sandwich, this thing is something special. The garlic spread they use combined with perfectly seasoned chicken, pickles, and just the right amount of crispy french fry tucked inside makes it one of the best things I have ever eaten. I'm not exaggerating. It's the kind of bite that stops you mid-conversation because you just need a moment to appreciate it. The shish kabob platter was equally incredible, the steak was impossibly tender and packed with deep, rich flavor. The hummus and pita rounded everything out beautifully, simple but executed with real care. What sets Cedar and Olive apart is that you can genuinely taste the passion behind every single dish. This isn't food that was just prepared, it was crafted with intention and creativity. If you're in Jacksonville, please do yourself a favor and go here. Don't think about it, just go. You will not regret it.

    That makes the distinction clearer. The restaurant looks good, but the food felt like a polished,…read morescaled back version of Mediterranean cuisine rather than the authentic experience you expected. Cedar and Olive was a bit of a disappointment for me. The restaurant itself is very nice, with a clean, modern setup and an inviting atmosphere. I ordered the shish tawook and fattoush. Both tasted good, so the issue wasn't necessarily the quality of the food. It was the portions, pricing, and overall experience. For me, it felt like the gentrified version of Mediterranean food. Everything looked polished and was presented nicely, but some of the generosity and authenticity I associate with a great Mediterranean restaurant seemed to be missing. Mediterranean food is usually the type of meal where you leave full and satisfied. Here, I left wondering where the rest of my plate was. The shish tawook and fattoush were good, but for the price, the meal simply wasn't fulfilling enough. Customer Service was good, not stood out either good or bad. Nice restaurant, good food, and attractive presentation. But if I'm craving an authentic Mediterranean experience with generous portions and strong value, this probably wouldn't be my first choice.

    Long time visitor, first time reviewer. I know, I know. About time…read more What is there to say about Sub Cultured that hasn't been said already? Everything on the menu is delicious, the staff is wonderful, and they stand up to bigotry in their own backyard. You can't get much better than that. The only drawback (if you can even consider it one) is just figuring out a good time to arrive to avoid a line. Regardless, even if there is one, the staff moves through it quickly and efficiently. As Sub Cultured is a walk-up window, there's some outside tables to sit, as well as the option of sitting in your car for that car-hop action. Otherwise, you're so close to the beach and parks that taking your sandwiches for a picnic isn't a bad idea either. If you can't find parking immediately at Sub Cultured, there's a little shopping center just next door since there doesn't seem to be much for street parking outside of their handful of spots. All of that said, I'm a transplant to Jacksonville via the Navy since 2004. One of the biggest cravings that I have from back home is a real authentic sausage, pepper, and onion grinder. I can't even begin to describe to y'all how great Sub Cultured's is with that spicy Italian sausage and perfectly cooked peppers and onions. Add a little spicy brown mustard and you're all set.

    The sandwiches were really good, and the French fries were delicious as well…read more Unfortunately, the Chicken Caesar Salad was a bit disappointing. The chicken was very dry, although the vegetables were fresh, so I wish the chicken had been better prepared. One more thing I noticed was the parking situation. I felt the parking lot is located in a somewhat dangerous spot. While we were waiting for our food, we saw a car backing out from in front of the restaurant and stopping a vehicle that was coming down the street. We actually It seems like the visibility is limited in that area, so drivers need to be extra careful.
