Another great visit here. Richard was taking care of us, and cranked up our appreciation of this place even more-! he's great guy all around - we forgot our "to-go" soda, and he came running out after us with it. We tried the Devil Dog Frickles (Ooorah!) which are lightly battered fried pickles and a nice sauce (I added a bit more ketchup to the sauce... - that's just me) 1 these are good! The Chicago Pie l, after a bunch of visits, still makes it worth the 45 minute trip here. Love the atmosphere and the newly renovated bathrooms !! Keep up the great work folks! read more

Great size and tasting salad! This is my favorite salad at Carmines and they give you a lot of bang for your buck. The dressing is great! It's also so busy here, but I understand why. Richard provided great service and I hope to go back and try the pizza soon. read more

The wait on Valentines Day was 25-30 minutes. The place was packed. Such a good sign. A funky vibe inside. There's four tvs inside. There is outside tables to eat at. The parking lot is small, so if you don't get lucky, there's street parking. The host was super nice. A booth opened up and because a party of 4 checked In Right after my Mom and I. They got the booth. We had to sit at a table. Not cool. Really not cool. I think that was messed up. The table we sat at held 4 people. Waitress very sweet. Very helpful. Got a draft Mich ultra-not the coldest :/ Ordered a large Italia New York style pizza. So the waitress came to us and said she messed up our large italia ny style pizza, so we got to try the Italia Chicago style pizza, at no charge! Both the Chicago and New York were a-mazing. Patricia was the best waitress. New York style was def my favorite. I will be back. I understand why the wait was 25-30 minutes long. It's great pizza. Great. Minus not getting a booth even though we got here before a party of 4. read more

I've reviewed Carmine's multiple times before and raved about the food, the friendly service, the casual neighborhood atmosphere, etc. I needed to review again because I had to point out that while Carmine's is know for its pizza, and subs, I don't know if people are aware that they make one of the best veggie subs around. It was amazing! This crispy eggplant, and great combination of peppers and veggies to fill it out. Just a really well thought out vegan option where you thought there might not be one. I feel fortunate to live so close and have Carmine's as one of our "go to" establishments for carry out. If you haven't tried them, I highly recommend you do. read more

Visiting Carmine's makes me feel like I'm in a borough with the neighborhood regulars on a Friday at 4:45 after a long work week. The bustling and busy decor means there's always something to entertain your eyes, and the quality ingredients mean you can indulge in your pizzeria faves without regret 3 hours later. I am a huge fan of their wings because they're breaded but still so crispy with sauce, their sauces are great, and even though they have "jumbo "in their name on the menu, they're not ridiculously large in that way that makes them not feel like wings anymore. Their sausage - which can be ordered on a sub or as a pizza topping, is in my opinion some of the best in the city. I would love to have an entire link of it with some pasta. The red sauce, which I've tried with both the giant meatball and the "chicky on a plate," (chicken parm) has a good texture and it's pretty standard. While this restaurant looks and feels like a classic old-school pizza spot, the menu actually has a lot of diversity and uniqueness. read more

I was told by some co-workers that I needed to try this place and I'm so glad I did. The pizza I had was amazing I had a deep dish 10" Chicago style all meat pizza. Service was great, from the door greeter to the waitress I felt welcomed to the restaurant. The vibe there was great and it was pretty chill.

Solid pizza place offering both Chicago deep dish and New York thin crust. I went for the bad ass BLT and it was really good! I want to go back to try some other specialty pie soon, maybe that time with the Chicago style. What I really liked about the place itself and decoration is that you can tell it has been there for a while and it has kept its real essence. As for the service it was so friendly and helpful I wish I could remember my servers name to give her a shout out! read more

I'd give it a one star, but it was hot. Hot mess, albeit. Greasy. Cheese tastes cheap, ratio to sauce is off, resulting in ZERO structure. Watched my box sit for five minutes before getting it. Same thing has happened the last two times. An older gentleman (owner?) seems dead-set on getting in everybody's way, engaging customers that seem indifferent to an interaction. It is Jacksonville, after all - give me an antonym to "pearls before swine". Fukouttahea. 3.7/10 read more

I ordered carry out catering food for my daughter's wedding to feed about 60. Mujo (sp) was amazing- there was a pricing sheet, but it was "give or take"...more like an estimate than a quote. I ordered late ( just two weeks) and added to the order twice- the last add was the day before. The food was ready exactly when they said it would be, included unexpected "extras" (garlic toast for every plate, spaghetti for chicken parm and eggplant parm). The food: amazing! Lasagna, chicken bow tie Alfredo, chicken parm and eggplant parm got rave reviews. Some out of town foodies were streaming compliments. When "clean up time" rolled around, we had plenty of help hoping to snag "to go" portions. NOTHING was discarded. The price: less than expected. It ended up less than $20/person with generous "take homes". That's about "sandwich plate" pricing for special day moan worthy fare. Bottom line: Carmine's added another love language vernacular when it was appreciated the most. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. read more

Carmine's online ordering and carryout for the holiday helping win! After evening baking everyday this week, I was ready to make dinner easy before making my next holiday cookie batch. Quick and easy online ordering with our order ready about 20 minutes later allowed me to eat dinner and get right to baking after work today. We ordered the veggie panini and the thin crust Boca Raton. The eggplant was the star of the panini with all the other ingredients complimenting it well. Glad we chose the toasted panini, the crispy crunch of the bread was great. Love the flavors of the pizza, I'm not usually a fresh tomato fan on pizza, but it works really well with the fresh spinach and cheese. As always, I just wish it was more of a "white" pizza, wanting more yummy ricotta. We love having Carmine's close to home for a delicious, easy meal option! read more

Great lunch experience with a friend at a new venue for both of us. All was we were expecting and more. Place was "eclectic, casual and welcoming. Our server was fun! Great sense of humor and great service at the same time. Our lunch (split a 14" pie with 2 each of our favorite toppings.It was delicious! Nice and hot, flavorful, with very fresh toppings. We also had a very nice (and new to me) IPA beer brewed in San Francisco. My friend knew of it, asked if they served it, and again a nice surprise. They did! read more

I'm not hugely experienced with Chicago deep dish, but if this is any indicator, I've been missing out. Excellent pizza with a rich flavor. They don't skimp on the ingredients. We got a regular peperoni slice to go with it, and while it was decent, the deep dish is a must! The meatballs looked amazing too, but we were too full to even attempt to order anything else. Dinner for tomorrow! The place itself was quant and somewhat bar-like. There's a nice bakery assortment at the front of the store too, if you're somehow still hungry after this experience. read more

I'm surprised I didn't have a review of Carmines. I like the fact that their pizza is a bit different from most pizza spots in Jacksonville. The restaurant has a nice hip vibe and is a great place to catch a bit on a Saturday afternoon. I've had the Chicago Deep dish, regular pepperoni pizza and Pepperoni Calzone. The calzone was my favorite. Crust crispy yet fluffy and the sauce was flavorful. My Favorite pizza spot is Lou Malnati's in Chicago so I was not really impressed by the deep dish pizza here but everything else was pretty tasty. read more

First time here. Heard great things and it does live up to the hype. Feels like an old neighborhood friend. Highly recommend the Rooster wings which are massive and tender chicken wings. You can pick various sauce and the Bourbon BBQ does not disappoint. Pizza - you can select premade toppings with fun names but they only come in thin crust. Or create your own like Deep Dish which we did. Does take longer to make but enjoy your appetizers first. Surprisingly the deep dish rival that of Chicago's. Serves beer and seltzers. Tip: can get hot inside during summer because of weak AC and not a lot of ceiling fans. Prepare to sweat your ass off while enjoying good food. Cheers. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch after family pictures downtown. Limited parking in front but there's street parking in the area. Several outdoor tables with mix of booths and tables inside. We started with wings and garlic cheese bread which were both good. We got a Chicago deep dish and NY thin to share. Chicago style pizza is my favorite but this was just okay. The NY thin was very good. Service was quick and everyone was very friendly. read more

I have heard tons of great things about this place and I've been meaning to go for months. I'm happy to report it absolutely deserves the hype! I placed an order for pickup and it was ready in less than 30 minutes during lunch on a Saturday. I got the 10" New York style with pineapple and my mom got the 10" New York style with feta and black olives. Both of our pizzas were cooked to absolute perfection. The crust is thicker than a classic slice you get on the street in New York, but still absolutely delicious. I would compare the thickness to Papa John's pizza. You could tell the cheese they use is super high quality and there wasn't that layer of grease you get on some pizzas. Generous amount of sauce, cheese, and toppings! This place is an easy five stars and I'll definitely be returning to try their Chicago style. read more

I've ordered from this place twice on Uber eats and was not that impressed given the reputation. After hearing that I need to "dine in" multiple times to actually experience what Carmines Pie House is about, I did. I arrived about 6pm and it started getting busy real quick. Dive bar pizzeria feel and energetic staff. I ordered a plain cheese pie and waited.. the pizza was very droopy and needed to be held with both hands otherwise the cheese was going to slide off.. as for taste it was good, but not special by any means; it is better than fast food pizza. Third times not the charm I suppose. read more

Food was amazing! We had pizza by the slice, the torpedo sandwich, garlic cheese bread, Uncle Alfredo's Alfredo - so creamy with garlic bread on the side, and a personal pizza. The pepperoni's are huge. All 6 of us enjoy our dishes and can't wait to come back and try some more items on the menu. Highly recommended, come early, around 5pm if you want a table. Seating max for a party of 6 inside. Outside seating options also. Enjoy! read more

Carmine's Pizza Review - One Bite Style One bite, everybody knows the rules. Carmine's Pizza comes in strong. Crust & Dough: First bite hits you with that perfect crisp on the bottom, solid fold, slight chew--no flop here. Classic New York-style texture with a little char for flavor. Sauce & Toppings: The sauce has a nice tang, not too sweet, well-balanced with a hint of herbs. Toppings are fresh and plentiful. Pepperoni curls up just right, edges crisp, plenty of flavor without drowning out the cheese or sauce. Cheese Factor: Good cheese pull, melted evenly, no greasy puddles. Tastes like they're using quality mozzarella--creamy, not rubbery. Overall Vibe: Neighborhood spot vibes--friendly staff, quick service, and a laid-back atmosphere. The kind of place you want to come back to after a long day. Score: Solid 8.0. One bite, everybody knows the rules read more

I tried here through Doordash and was pleasantly surprised. I was in the mood for pizza but ended up ordering pasta and a sandwich cause the pictures online looked so good. I loved the chicken cordon bleu panini. I've never had it in sandwich form before, and I'm happy I tried it. I also ordered the Alfredo, but it's something you'd want to eat fresh and in person. Delivery made it cold and not easy to mix. I won't knock a star off of it for that since I choose delivery instead of eating in. I know it would have been even better fresh. Overall, I would recommend the sandwich. I'll need to get a taste of the pizza next time! read more

Carmines is one of those closely-guarded neighborhood secrets. It's NOT some typical pizza joint, either. Carmines has been voted the #2 Chicago-style deep dish restaurant in the country by reviewers here on Yelp.

Being a long time patron of Carmine's I was completely disappointed when I brought my mom, who also loves Carmine's, here for Mother's Day. When my family and I showed up we were nicely greeted and we were asked to wait a moment while they cleared some tables. Once we sat we waited over 10 minutes to get our drink order taken and get menus. We were told she wasn't our waitress and that our waitress would be along shortly. That took awhile as well. Our drinks were all given to the wrong people. Our food came fairly quickly however our food was not up to the normal Carmine's standard that I'm used to. My Fathers pasta order looked like soup. He barely picked at it but he didn't want to complain. We waited quite some time for our waitress to circle back to ask us for refills. When that finally happened she then completely forgot about us and we sat there for 15-20 mins just waiting. We decided to get up and got our own to go boxes. We finally got our waitress back with an "apology" for the delay but at that point we no longer wanted refills. We just wanted our check so we could leave. Normally we get desserts, we love their desserts, but we had no interest in being there any longer. I was so disappointed with this being Mother's Day and wanting to take my mom to one of her favorite places for pasta and cheesecake. I'm sure we will be back but they definitely need to know they dropped the ball today with our table, and from what I could see, and hear, other tables as well. read more

I will never go to Carmine's again after how I was treated there recently. I do think their pizza is great & their deep dish is terrific but they treated me horribly. My friend & I went there on Fri. May 23rd... it didn't seem too busy. We sat outside. I did what a sign said & told the cashier we were outside. No one waited on us & after 10-15 minutes of chatting, we decided to go inside. It was no big deal... we weren't in a hurry, we weren't angry. We saw a couple waiting & we waited for a few minutes as well. I then went to the restroom & afterwards, I told the cashier we were waiting along with the other people because I saw no host. She said ok. Then I saw a group of people come in a sit & out of nowhere saw a guy with a clipboard & I asked him why those people got a table while 4 of us were waiting. He said there was a list & offered to seat my friend & I. I instead said he should seat the couple who was before us. I then was just trying to ask the guy where he was with the list because we saw no one for quite awhile. He immediately starts telling me it's a family establishment & I was about to get kicked out. I wasn't cussing or anything... I was just trying to figure out where he was & what I was supposed to do. Then some waitress tells me we'll get a free appetizer... I wasn't there for free food. Then as I talked to her & simply used my hands because I'm Italian, she barked at me, sternly telling me to put my hand down. It was ridiculous! I didn't cuss or raise my voice... I just didn't understand why I didn't see this guy with the list for a long time & why didn't the cashier tell me there's usually a list? I totally respect food service workers... they work hard, people aren't always nice & don't tip well. I am always nice & tip well! I didn't deserve how they treated me. My friend & I left & I will NEVER NEVER go back. My life will be fine without Carmine's pizza. I simply was trying to figure out why this guy with the waiting list wasn't around for a long time & he jumped down my throat for simply asking questions. It was ridiculous! read more

First-time visit to Carmine's Pie House for lunch, and we came specifically to try their Chicago-style deep dish pizza -- and it did not disappoint! The crust was thick and buttery, about 3-4 inches high, and packed with delicious, stringy mozzarella. The sauce was generously layered and full of flavor -- tangy but not overly acidic, which is great for those who might be sensitive to that. I thought the amount of sauce was just right, though my wife would've preferred a bit more -- just a personal preference. Finding mozzarella stuffed into the crust handle was a nice surprise and well worth the 20-30 min wait. We added pepperoni and mushrooms, which were pretty standard in quality -- nothing standout, but they did the job. We stuck with water and lemon for drinks, and even that was refreshing with good taste (no odd aftertaste you sometimes get with tap). Our server started off a bit reserved but gradually warmed up. By the end, she was attentive and friendly, so no complaints there. The ambiance had a laid-back Riverside vibe -- cool, eclectic, and comfortable. We arrived just before the lunch rush, so seating and parking were easy. By the time we left, the lot was full, so good timing on our part. One restroom was out of service due to remodeling, so only one was available (and you had to lift the door to close it -- a little funny moment). All in all, we had a great experience and will definitely be back! read more
