    Half portobello veggie and half tomato soup
    Alison M.

    Time after time, when I want a quick, reliable dinner, I always fall back on Newk's Eatery. Their staff is always very genuine and kind, and is always willing to make accommodations. In addition, I usually pay with Blazerbucks, which can sometimes be tedious; however, the staff at Newk's is always genuine and never upset over the payment. Located near the hospital, Newk's offers a comforting environment and reminds me of Jason's Deli, which was a staple in my childhood. Food here is always consistent. I recommend eating in the restaurant instead of ordering takeout. My order is usually the half-portobello veggie sandwich and tomato soup, but sometimes, when I order to-go, as I did last night, the bottom of the bread is a bit soggy, which is to be expected since it has pesto on the bottom. When I order in person, I find that the sandwiches are a bit better and less soggy, regardless of what I order. I am also a collector of Newk's cups and love that they offer a sustainable choice of reusable cups. I wish they used cardboard instead of plastic for takeout containers, but for a large chain, they still make an effort with reusable options.

    Stopped by here for dessert recently. Guy who waited on me wasn't the friendliest. Picked up the strawberry slice from the cooler area that had the cakes and chicken salad. Told him I didn't need a bag since I was eating inside, yet found out that despite saying that, he didn't give me any utensils and I spent the next few minutes looking for them around the corner. After I didn't find them, I asked another worker who seemed as if she was bothered where were the utensils, then asked me if I was going to eat inside. I responded yes and she walked back to the counter to get one. Even if I were to take it out, can I still get a fork yall? Geesh! Just on these interactions alone make me skeptical about returning for food. The restaurant has a few onsite parking spots, but we parked in a deck since we were visiting another restaurant for food and walked down to Newks. Oh and the cake was ok. Nothing to write home about. A solid 2.5 star experience overall.

    I have had Newk's before but it was always a catered event and it left me impressed. I have wanted to visit and i finally did. I decided to go all in for the Steak "Q" Sandwich and I was happy that I did. It was really good but the boba punch was the best. It's been a while since I had Boba and the burst of flavor from the balls was entertaining. The place is easy to access with parking in the rear. Service was fast and the food was hot. I do recommend this place. It does have an open sunlight presence that adds to the environment.

We walked up the street with a half dozen other diners. Wooden City is definitely not in the best part of BHM. Walking to the restaurant was a little sketchy, no need for a detailed description. Although we had reservations, the hostess looked at us like we had three eyes. She found a small table for us in the far back of the restaurant. No problem, at least we were seated. Our server greeted us quickly and went over the menu. We ordered drinks, blistered Hungarian peppers and a sausage and mushroom pizza. We told him that we were going to a concert and were on a little bit of a tight schedule. By the time our server checked on our food, the second time, we went from a little bit tight to full "gotta get out of here" mode. I guess the delay in getting our food was to give the kitchen time to burn our pizza. Over half of the thick, chewy crust was inedible. The bottom of the pie didn't fare much better. The peppers, on the other hand, were amazing. (not so much so at 2 am but that's just me!) They are a do not miss. We were at least able to settle our bill quickly and made it to the concert with time to spare. Overall, would we go back? Only if in the area - those peppers were amazing. Still, I definitely would not make a special trip.

    One could make an argument, and rightfully so, that pizza is not a dish requiring reinvention. Yet,…read morewe are humans, we cannot stop ourselves at the Neapolitan classic version, the iconic NYC slices nor the Chicago deep dish. Something within us, is tirelessly reinventing. Whether good or bad, someone else can decide. A real distinction of Pizza Grace is in its most fundamental element, and the aspect that one could argue to be the most important part of any pizza, period. Of course, that would be the crust. The crust here is created with wild yeast sourdough, called "Frank", resulting in a unique profile regardless of what later lands on top of the pizza. Let's pause here for just a second, is it not ridiculous having to wait 24-48 hours for the slow crust fermentation to happen? Apparently, the owners Chef Ryan Westover and his wife Helene didn't think so. Their signature pizza here is no less impressive either: topped with Louisiana crawfish, ricotta, Parmesan, mint and basil. It is a true star of the show. It's hard for most people to pinpoint exactly where they had the best pizza of their life, but this warehouse building in Alabama might just end up being that spot.

    Best pizza ever!!!…read more We started with the meatballs which we were very pleasantly surprised with, they were very yummy. The pizza is just out of this world.. the sourdough crust just hits different! Lastly, we had the pistachio tiramisu which might be the best dessert we have ever had. Super light with the perfect texture.

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.

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.

    Only thing I've got to say is: "What took me so long to eat there". I bet I've been by this place…read morea thousand times, but never stopped. What a mistake! Wife and I ate there before going to the movie. She ordered spaghetti with meat sauce. Noddles were cooked perfectly. Meat sausage covered the noodles, not like some places that but a ladle in the middle and you end up with more noodles without sauce. I ordered the Salvatore's Special Calzone. Won't be the last time. Crust was crispy, filling were abundant and extremely tasty. My wife mentioned that unlike some calzones this one was not greasy. It was very flavorful. There place is rather small with less than a dozen tables inside, and an outdoor covered patio. Very comfortable, friendly staff, and obviously everything cooked to order. This may well become one of my new favorite places. Looking forward to my next visit, and sorry I've missed the opportunity to eat here over the last 40 years or so.

It was then and now my favorite pizza place in Birmingham. I am from New York and the pizza reminded me of home. I only found out a few weeks ago that this "Downtown" location even existed. I would usually take the 25 minute drive up 280 for my pizza. I have no idea how I missed this. Food: The sauce is the key. Weiher on the pizza or on the pasta. We always order a Meatball Pizza and it has been very consistent. My son and I had a Medium Meatball pizza and Cheese Ravioli Parm which comes with Garlic Bread. Service: The service is simple. You order at the counter, and they bring it to your table. Just like every other Salvatore's location. The manager was OUTSTANDING. I asked for the crust to be a little more done, and it was PERFECT. Ambiance: Super Casual and perfect for the food they make. Lots of table and for the most part very clean. Pizza is a personal thing. What I like, other don't or have their own special place. Now that I know Salvatore's is so close to my home, actually walking distance, I will eat there more often. As a matter of fact, we are ordering for pick up tonight. I don't use delivery services unless I am desperate. Eat Well, Drink well and stay Healthy.
