    Pepperoni and black olive pizza
    Johannes P.

    Drove into town after being on the road for over 20hrs. Wanted to grab a quick bite to eat and this place looked good. The difference be tween looks and taste are very different. The pizza here is absolutely delicious! The service was amazing and loved the decor. If you are ever in the Birmingham Alabama area and want some of the best pizza around be sure to stop in you won't be disappointed.!

    9 inch meat lovers pizza

    Ordered the 9 inch meat lovers pizza, I asked for toppings of half onion, half mushroom and half olives on only half of the pizza however, the whole entire pizza was covered with olives, onions, and mushrooms. So unfortunately, I cannot give a good review for them being able to pay attention to what a customer wanted. So ordertaking I give them a 5 out of 10. However, taste and quality of the pizza 7 out of 10. Pizza needed to be cut better. Delivery of the pizza to my hotel 10 out of 10 great job.

    The pizza was great. Sauce is superb. The atmosphere is family friendly. Cleanliness of the floor needs to be revisited. Our server was good. He checked on us randomly but did go missing for a moment.

    We ate here around 3:30 on a Saturday. It was not busy and the food came out quickly. We regretted stopping here after trying the pizza though. I don't think it's a good value and we thought the crust tasted like a cracker and the pizza overall reminded us of frozen pizza. The servers were friendly. Old music played and the environment was definitely old school. I don't think we will be back.

    Fantastic pizza.

    What is going on everyone I have yet another review here for you. I have to space these things out okay. Anyways this past Saturday me and my cousin ventured out over to Vestavia Hills, AL to try out Davenport's Pizza Palace second location to try it for consistency. I say that because they have a Mountain Brook, AL location and I've been there before but never reviewed it. This location is in a great spot scenery is great and an awesome place to hang out. Both locations have an arcade area with really cool games as well. This place was extremely busy but the staff was so kind and they were doing a great job. Also to add to that for my drinkers they have a bar and a drink menu too! Now for the pizza we ordered the meat lovers and as always very good. Crispy crust and you can tell they use fresh cheese and fresh ingredients in general. I'm going to pull a Dave Portnoy and give this pizza an 8.2 out of 10. There is a reason this place always makes it on the list as one of the best places to get pizza in all of Alabama and it is indeed one of my favorite places to go. Go check them out at either location and enjoy their great food just like I did. In no particular order my favorite pizza places are Pizza Grace, 2 Dough Girlz Pizzeria , and Davenport's Pizza.

    Where to begin? We love this little pizza place. It's been around since the Jurassic Period of the Mesozoic Era, okay? You don't stay in business THAT long unless you're doing something right and these guys are doing ALL the things right. Parking and in general just getting to the place can be a bit of a challenge if you're not accustomed to navigating that area. There's a lot of one way streets and street parking. When you walk into the restaurant you're immediately greeted by the aroma of fresh pizza seen being made in the kitchen to your right. Employees are friendly and acknowledge you. Doesn't take long to get seated or place your order. The ambiance is cute. Lots of photos on the walls of famous actors, actresses, signs from local breweries, and the like. There's a beautiful black trellis with string lights in the main dining area that separates some tables. The menus are written on wooden pizza paddles. The pizza is *chef's kiss* DEVINE. The cheese has that perfect stretch when you take a slice from the pie. It's not greasy or too heavily sauced. It's simply perfect. The ingredients taste fresh and they make their own sauces and salad dressing. We have eaten here several times over the years and have loved every experience and every pizza. I only wish we lived closer! We'd be there every week!

    Some please talk to this employee regarding his manners. He's always been slightly rude & cocky.

    Simply superb pizza. Capella's sources their ingredients from Italy and it shows in the freshness…read moreand taste. I have been a few times now and settled on the margherita pizza. It's what you might think of as a cheese pizza, the add garlic and fresh basil to the mix and it is a wonderful result. It's a hand tossed pizza with a fairly thin crust. The chew and the flavors are excellent. The staff are friendly, but don't wait on the tables, you order at the counter, they deliver you eat happily. They have TVs playing one soccer or F1 racing feed or another. It' is a European feel for sure. They have picnic tables indoors and a few small chairs outdoors with a bit of shade. Bring your dog for the outdoors maybe? My friends have done so. Capella has a large selection of bottled drinks, gelato and other Italian desserts. But the pizza is the headliner.

    Capella Pizzeria definitely deserves their high ratings…read more I came here with some others to pick up some pizzas for a family gathering. I was pleased that the had a large variety of options but even had gelato and desserts as well. Large pizzas run $21-$27 are thin crust. For pizzas, we got two of their Margheritas, Meat Buster and Palermo. They were all good and a hit at the family party. The meat Buster and Palermo had meat but honestly not a whole lot. They were good though. All the pizzas were lots of flavor and the sauce to cheese ratio was perfect. I loved that they had chili oil, extra dipping sauce, cheese, and peppers on the side for you to grab. While our time there we even had some gelato which was good and got some cheese cake to go. Our pizzas came out quick. The shop is very large with plenty of places to sit, even good for a large party. I loved that they even had plates on the table ready to go. This was a solid pizza spot and worth checking out if you prefer thinner crust.

    This place is my type of vibe!…read more Trattoria ZaZa has been on my list of places to stop at for several years. Parking often deters me but after attending the Italian Festival earlier that day, we had a craving for pizza. I ordered the combo that includes 2 slices of the day with salad. Since I wasn't overly hungry, I offered him one of my slices and he added another slice to the order. We paid and were given a number to place on our selected table. Jazzy music played in the background while we waited on our order to be brought to the table. The natural lighting, while beautiful, made it a little warm in the building. One of the waitresses propped the door open that leads to the restrooms (which are in the hallway near the elevators) in order for cooler air to make its way in. That wasn't a deal breaker, but do be aware of that on warmer days. Our food came out after a short wait. I kept my 3 cheese slice, and gave him the pepperoni one. The cheeses were very rich and the salad, while simple without the frills, was perfectly sized and drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette that was just the right amount. While I enjoyed my meal very much and the ambiance, he wasn't overly impressed with his. He didn't want the fresh herbs on his slices and knocked all of them off, lol. He's a simple guy with simple taste. This is definitely a place I will be revisiting with one of my girlfriends and not him next time as he didn't appreciate what ZaZA had to offer. Everyone we encountered was helpful and courteous. Our food, including drinks, was around $28, which was not bad for a cute, eclectic spot downtown. If you haven't been, make sure to try them out soon. Just don't wait as long as I did to visit!
