Finally made it to Emangeo's. We ordered a New York cheese and a New Haven with sausage as we wanted to compare. The NY was good but the New Haven was the star of the show. Sauce and cheese were excellent on both. That cheese was legit - none of that hybrid stuff these chains use - quality mozzarella. Tiffany the manager stopped by to ask how everything was and we chatted a bit. If you haven't had New Haven - and I'm not an expert - but it was worth the drive across town for us. read more

We've been meaning to stop by Emangeo's on Baymeadows for some time and tonight's rainy weather was the perfect excuse for a Netflix and pizza night. We ordered the NY Supreme and Veggie for pickup, and it did not disappoint! ƪ(･‿･) The crust had a great undercarriage--not too thin, but not overly thick either. The ratio of dough, sauce, and cheese was perfect-no soggy middle! The store itself was very clean with a friendly vibe! \ (･‿･) /ﾟWe highly recommend and will definitely be back soon to try the Hawaiian next time! #SupportLocalJax @ #Emangeo'sBrickOvenPizza #PizzaNight #DuvalEats read more

I walked in and ordered take out. Stuffed Shells. The place was super clean and tidy. Service was prompt. The aroma coming from the kitchen was exactly what I expect from pizza/ Italian hole in the wall. There was an 8 top group of ladies eating on the back wall bench. They appears to be enjoying their afternoon meals. I'll definitely bring family and friends in when they come visit. My dinner was delicious. Nice CLEAN place. read more

Got pick up from here. Tried their spicy pepper jack pizza and wish it was more spicy. When we came to pick up everyone was so kind and pleasant! They might need to update their online ordering system to notify the customer that it's ready for pick up though. Real cute logo and story! read more

After four years of searching, I have found my primary pizza purveyor in Jacksonville: Emangeo's! I grew up in Connecticut and was raised on Sally's, Modern, and Zuppardi's. And while I love Jacksonville, it has been difficult to find decent pizza. The owners of Emangeo's are from Connecticut and it shows. The pizza is delicious: superb and flavorful crust, a bright tomato forward sauce, and a good balance of cheese. The bottom of the crust shows the high heat of their oven, though not as crisp or charred as is typical in New Haven. The pizza was absolutely delicious, and the vibe was also wonderful. The owners take great pride in their food and were genuinely pleased to hear that I enjoyed it. And for those in the know, they sell the full line of Foxon Park sodas. A ten-out-of-ten! read more

Had a great 1st experience. Walk up to counter order and they bring to the table. They have new haven pizza or new York. Ordered the New Haven large pepperoni mozzarella and it was delicious. The staff is very friendly and eager to help newbies. We will be back to try the New York Style. read more

Sometimes pizza just hits the spot snd you can't go wrong with these folks based on our first time experience. We visited their Baymeadows location on a relatively busy Saturday and were impressed with not only the food but the fast and friendly service as well. We started with the pretzel served with some of the best beer cheese we've had outside of Chicago. We chose the New England "apizza" for its thin crust and weren't disappointed. We added mushrooms, onions, green peppers and ham. These folks aren't stingy with the toppings, although we felt the cheese and sauce were a bit thin. The fast casual restaurant has a relatively small seating area with six wooden booths and around 12 tables. The walls have several pizza paddles with cute sayings on them. Make sure to save time to read the timeline mural. It showcases the history of their business from tailgating to their two locations. The highlight of the restaurant is the giant brick pizza oven designed to look like the back of their food truck. Drinks included bottled beers, wines, sodas, and tea. read more

I have to admit, I don't understand a lot of internet crazes. Let's take the "6-7" internet meme from last year. Some kid yelling "6-7" turns into millions of kids doing the same thing While making so weird "so so" hand gesture? Nope. Maybe I'm too old to understand what's hip and new. Wanna know what I do understand? Pizza. And if there is a new pizza place that's getting some attention, you can bet I'm gonna check it out. Which is what happened with Emangeo's Brick Oven Pizza on Baymeadows. Recently opened it suddenly started appearing a lot on my social media feeds. Which those crazy algorithms have figured out should only show me food! Emangeo's is a small restaurant. You wait in a line to order and then sit down. The restaurant isn't huge and I did see that quite a few people were ordering carry-out. The restaurant itself is bright and clean. As to the food? Well, Emangeo's gave me a chance to try New Haven style pizza without going to Connecticut. What's New Haven style? Think VERY thin crust (almost bordering on a cracker) with tomato sauce and VERY little cheese sprinkled on top. The cheese is Parmesan and not Mozzerella. It sounded odd to my NY pizza style sensibilities. It was fantastic. The sauce was really good. A deep, wonderful tomato flavor. The crust is slightly charred and holds up really well - there was almost no flop. Did it need more cheese or toppings? I really didn't think so. I guess you could add other toppings to the slice, but it is great the way it is served. The pizzas aren't huge, so I would definitely order larger than you initially think you should. As I was with friends we also ordered a New York style as well. That pizza was fine. The crust is different - I think it may be sourdough based. Is it what I think of as NY style? I guess its their interpretation of it. Overall I thought the pizza was tasty, but I wasn't blown away by it. While the New Haven style was a great pizza, their NY style was a good pizza. I've also seen some great reviews for the hot subs, but we didn't have a chance to try any of them or the pasta dinners on the menu. But from what we saw being brought out, all the food looked really good. So let's review. Good, clean new restaurant. A New Haven slice that I'd rate a 10. And the New York slice? A 6-7? Did I do that right? I'm so old. Go try some pizza at Emangeo's! Tell 'em the old guy sent ya! read more

Decent pizza, but definitely not New Haven style, not even that close. Really missing the mark trying to claim it is New Haven style, no classic char, flavor misses, cheese misses, sauce misses, dough misses read more

4.5 out of 5. Great place for pizza! Originally from near NYC and living in CT near New Haven for 30 years, hubby and I were so excited to try Emangeo's and it didn't disappoint. We ordered the same medium pies, plain with half sausage, in NY and New Haven style to compare. New York - 5.0 - Excellent Pizza was 12" with the sausage being cut up links. Great mix of tomato sauce to cheese ratio. Crust was very good and properly cooked. Flavor had that intrinsic NY pizza taste that we have not had in Florida before (and we've been looking). If you're craving real NY pizza, this blows the others away. New Haven - 4.5 - Very good Pizza was 10" with a very thin crust, properly cooked but not burned. Sausage was crumbled as pizza would have been overwhelmed with sliced links. The pizza was good, but needed more sauce; it didn't have the ratio with the cheese and sauce down. Due to size and thinness of the crust, consider this a personal pizza. Hubby and I ate both pies up, right down the middle. read more

For just opening they did well for getting lunch out. The buff chicken egg rolls and the knots with beet cheese were the star. I would def have that again. I was not super impressed with the New Haven pizza. I've had it before and this was ok but crust could have been more crispy. Apps are the key and I will say some of our party had a ny slice and it looked good. I'll give that a try new time read more

So after reading all the reviews we had to give Emangeo's pizza a try.We had a large sausage/pepperoni New Haven style pizza. great taste light and airy with the perfect char crust. Of course we had to try one of their 10in chicken sandwiches again great taste definitely enough for 2 people and that chicken seasoning was awesome. I did try the garlic knots didn't care for them due to the lack of garlic in the sauce overall great place and will definitely will be back soon. read more

When we 1st started ordering from there everything was really good. Since then it seems that quality has gone down for the prices being charged. read more

Great new spot by former food truck owners who made pizzas at Jaguars tailgating events. I really like the charred, thin crust of the New Haven style pizza. You can also order a bottle of wine. Excellent service and interaction with the owners. The employees seem to really like working there. There's a cool mural on the wall that tells their history. It might be hard to find because the logo had to be really small to conform to the public's signage standards. read more

Emangeo's is a breath of fresh air in the pizza realm of Jacksonville! Coming from the northeast, it was tough finding pizza that can compare. Both their New Haven style and New York style are incredible with tasty crust. If you are someone who enjoys a good char on the crust, you will enjoy this. The sauce is not overly sweet or tart and all of the toppings taste fresh and homemade. The New Haven style 'apizza' is notably refreshing with sauce and just a dusting of grated cheese. Such a great pizza place! The service is excellent and helpful with deciding and describing menu items. read more

Service was fast. I ordered to go and the pizza was pretty good. I got the New Haven style pizza and enjoyed the dough a lot. I think next time I'll try the New York bc I do like myself a thicc slice. However, you can't go wrong with either option. read more

Emangeo's has great cheese New Haven style. (My first time trying 'New Haven'.) The buffalo Chick NewYork style is a little over powered by bacon so I'd say no bacon if you get Buffalo Chicken. Wings were solid. Very friendly staff, explained difference in NY vs NH style. Ambiance is cool and lowkey. Nice lighting and a cool Jaguar-Jax mural. Will be back but be ready to have some $$ because it's expensive. read more

We stopped into Emangeo's today for lunch. Being from Connecticut we were curious to try out their New Haven style pizza. Let me tell you it was delicious. The crust was perfection with just the right amount of char, bubbly edges, and great sauce. They know how to do it right! I'd put them up against Pepe's or Sally's any day. If you know, you know! My only complaint is that I didn't get an extra pie to bring home with us! Give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Fantastic! Perfectly fired and crispy. Toppings were plentiful, portions good, and customer service too both. Overall a fantastic experience for brick oven style pizza. read more

Easily best new haven pizza in the Jax area. Crust and sauce were both great. Wings were ok.

The service was good and they sold Coke products. The pizza was decent. If you're hungry don't get the 14 inch pie. The pepperoni was really good. This place is good for a quick bite if you're in the area. read more

We purchased a Large NY style with Sausage and Peperoni, and a Medium plain cheese to go. $40 and change. Born and raised in NYC from the 1940's, but my career had me travelling throughout Ct., New England and the rest of the USA. Spent most summer vacations and weekends from the 1970 through the early 1990's in Ct and R.I. Then we lived in Europe for 5 years, with a lot of travel throughout Italy from Rome up through Venice. I've been fortunate to have consumed a lot of really great pizza in my life, in some of the best known pizza cities and towns. We came back and opened a specialty food distribution company selling to all levels of Food Service, mom and pop up through corporate chains, for eight years, and then with family, opened a brick oven pizzeria here in Jacksonville for 13 years, that we finally retired from four years ago. I usually make my own pizza, but with some unexpected guests coming, and knowing that they had recently opened close by, I decided to try them out. Unfortunately, I must say that Emangeo's Pizza is the worst that I've had in a long time. Reminded me of long-ago Pizza Hut pizza. Pathetic crust, horrible gummy cheese, unremarkable sauce and tasteless sausage and greasy pepperoni. My wife had an upset stomach all the next day. I wish them the best, and realize that it's not easy to open a restaurant. My suggestion is that they purchase better quality ingredients, specially at the price that they are charging. Ciao! read more

The service was nice however the food made me very upset! I ordered the buffalo chicken dip eggrolls. $10 for 1 egg roll cut in 4 pieces . I also ordered the pickle fries and it was so salty I couldn't even eat it. Very disappointed read more

Heard so much about New Haven style pizza and the reviews were good so I had to give it a try (sorry Tony D). This quite possibly was the most disappointing pizza I've ever had, including frozen! Absolutely no cheese, just thin crust which was fine and sauce, still can't understand how anyone can prefer this for pizza. Thought this was going to be competition for Tony Ds but he's got nothing to worry about. read more

Emangeo's Brick Oven Pizza - New Haven apizza - Pizza Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My wife and I just ate at Emangeo's! We tried 3 different pizzas. I started with Mama T's Sweet Heat and my wife started with the New Haven Tomato Apizza. I was enjoying mine and I looked at her and she seemed puzzled. She said "try this one." I took a piece of the tomato pie and was stunned at how good it was. The crust is crisp with a char and the tomato and cheese are first quality. All of the pizzas were good, but the tomato was exceptional. I am old school Sicilian and the perfect simplicity of the New Haven Tomato Apizza is rare. For us, atmosphere and customer service are almost as important as the food. At Emangeo's, the owner treated us great, the prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

The food was okay - pesto garlic knots had little flavor. The service was weird - we received dessert before apps and pizza. Trying to order more items was difficult and not organized well. The staff was nice though. read more

Pizza is a wonderful thing and Emangeo's takes it to the next level. Eat here for the first time the other day and will be back soon. It's out of our way, but the trip will be worth it. The staff is friendly and proactive. They rectified a very minor, if not unrecognizable issue, before we even noticed. Their resolution was over the top and proved they care about the details. The dinning room was clean and well managed. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Got to say first try was just ok. The new place is clean and the staff friendly but pizza won't make a top ten list. Had the chicken pesto New Haven which was pretty good. Also had the Supreme New York that was disappointing. It could better be described as an Onion pizza. To much onion and could barely find pepperoni or sausage. At best just below average. Based on the chicken pesto pizza we will give this place another try in the future and hope they improve read more

Tried New York Style cheese and New Haven style pepperoni. Both were very good. I slightly favored the new haven.
