    Meat combo square think crust pizza and pepperoni NY style slice.
    Allen M.

    We enjoyed a visit for lunch on a Saturday. They have lunch specials. I had the slice of deep dish and slice of NY style combo. We ate in. There are a couple of tables to dine in. The deep dish was the best. The pizza slice was thick crust, gooey cheese and the meats on top. Sauce is served on the side. Its good too and you can have as little or as much as you want on your slice. The NY style was good but not in the same class as the thick crust. The place is designed for mostly take out. They do have fountain drinks in the back. Its good. Try it.

    Not sure how I went so long without knowing about this place, but I found it and gave it a try and am happy to report that it's pretty awesome. It's clean, bright, spacious, and has a really friendly crew that can help you navigate its somewhat expansive menu. They've got apps, more than one style of pizza, (Detroit and NY styles), beer and fountain drinks and so many specials that it's borderline confusing. I had the buffet on my first visit and so I got to sample a wide variety of their offerings and would order any of them again. Not sure the names of all the pizzas, but the one with the white sauce and ricotta stood out. Really good. On my 2nd trip I ordered a small, (which is big enough for 2 people), with all the meats, and their burrata. The pizza was quickly cooked to order and came out piping hot and loaded with toppings. Loved it. The burrata came with generously portioned cups of hot honey and a balsamic glaze which really set it off. Good stuff. Will order this every single time I go in the future. Long story short this place has something for everyone, is putting out good food and is an overall nice, casual environment that's worth visiting and could easily become a go-to spot for anyone who frequents the area. I'll definitely be back when I'm over there.

    I stopped by on my lunch break to get an Uncle G's lunch combo - 1 slice of pan pizza and drink for around $10. You order at the register and they have two open tables to wait at as they transitioned to more of a takeout spot. I got the figgie to eat and it was delicious. I was caught off guard with the fig as the sauce since I didn't read it thoroughly before ordering. It blended well with the goat cheese, arugula, and prosciutto. It definitely can get sweet overtime so if you're in the mood for something more savory and less adventurous I would try a different flavor

    I tried the Uncle G's buffet for dinner and it was well worth the price while still maintaining the quality we've all come to know from them. If you've ever wanted to try every pizza they offer, Thursdays are your chance! While they don't have everything out all at once, they're constantly making more pizza to fill up the empty trays. The slices are a little smaller than the usual slices, which is great because you can try a lot more that way. There's also a combo of Detroit style, ny style, garlic knots and desserts. You don't get to just grab your own slice, but you tell the staff what you want and they prepare it for you. The one thing I love about the buffet is that they add some of the toppings only after you choose what you want. That way they do not get soggy. Everything tasted great like always especially my personal favorite The Figgy, which I lost count of how many slices I had!

    Met my brother with two kids for their pizza buffet on a Thursday evening. Great selection on buffet and lower buffet price for my 4 year old. The staff serve your picks from the buffet bar. They had a variety of pizzas, bread, knots, and sweets. I'm sad to see they are closing their dining room and doing take out only. My son will miss their pin ball machines!

    A bunch of people waiting around for pizzas to come out....

    This review is specific to their pizza buffet on Thursdays. Uncle G's has a pizza buffet available on Thursdays during set lunch and dinner time frames. They advertise it as having all of their Detroit style pizza as well as a couple of the NY style pizza. Also present would be rotating appetizers and cinnamon rolls and cookies. The description above is kind of accurate, except for a few issues: 1) They seem to be short-handed, especially for a buffet. I saw 4 employees total manning the register and the back. So often there would be a huge line waiting either for pizza (as they serve it to you at the buffet, it's not self-serve) or waiting to order. 2) Often, there is very little pizza available on the buffet when you hit the prime dinner time...and since buffet only runs for 3 hours at dinner time, it's mostly prime time, ha. Instead of all the variety, only a couple would be available and you would have to wait for a variety you want to come out.....sometimes it never comes out. For example, for over an hour, a NY style pizza never came out....or at least not long enough for you to get a slice if you are not standing there waiting. 3) There does not seem to be a good warming mechanism for the pizza on the bar. So if you settle for an unpopular flavor that's available on the bar because you don't want to wait, that pizza is likely to be cold to lukewarm at best. The first 3 slices I got on my first run to the bar were cold. So...I have heard some people love cold pizzas, unfortunately I am not one of them with all that congealed cheese, cold sauce, and cold toppings. So after that I waited for new pizzas to come out...which means dinner took a very long time. As far as the food itself. If you are able to catch the pizza hot, it's actually pretty tasty. The cinnamon rolls are cold and hard, not at all good. The cookie is good for people that likes very soft centers. There are NO greens or salad of ANY KIND on the buffet! So nothing to balance out the huge carb intake, makes it a pretty unhealthy meal. I did have some rather unpleasant customer service interactions on this visit that would make my visit a one-star experience....and greatly decreases the chance of me returning or bringing family/friends here in the future. However, after some consideration, the chance of the exact same situation happening to someone else is probably not terribly high, so the rating does not reflect that.

    Okay- I came to support Uncle G's after seeing a Tik Tok they made about how 15 more customers a day could save their local business. Of course I always want to support local. My first note is over the KC musgraves salad. I'm incredibly disappointed, as you can see it came with 1.5 pieces of prosciutto and basically no berries or cranberries. For $8 it's pathetic- I feel robbed. Ultimately everything is alright, However for $60 for a meal I expected it to be bigger, least prepared with what it was supposed to have. I probably will be back to give another chance and support locally. Keep it up

    In the debate of New York style vs Chicago style pizza my answer has forever been Detroit. This is an amazing take on Detriot style pizza turned gourmet. I think if you think you are going to be getting a cheap slice of pizza you will be upset at the price but i loved it. I visited the food truck while they were in alabaster. The lady taking my order was amazing, and the chef was one of those uncles who you think is mean but he gives you $50 on your birthday type. I ordered two slices one more traditional there take on a meat lovers and the other a whipped ricotta hot honey dream. I cannot wait to visit in store next time I'm in town.

    I've been holding onto this review for some time now and I can't wait for yall to check this one out. Everyone knows how much I love pizza and how I'm always trying to find the best pizza. Uncle G's Pizza has been on my list for a long time and a few weeks ago I was finally able to hunt them down and try their Detroit style pizza for the first time. I got four slices with 3 of them being Margarita, Pepperoni, and a Meatlovers. I'll start with the Margarita pizza since this one was my least favorite. Don't get me wrong it was good just not to my liking. The reason for that was whenever I have had a Margarita pizza it was always basically a thinner crust pizza so the doughyness of it threw me off a bit but like I said was still good still very flavorful. 3/5 Next up the Pepperoni which was probably my favorite. I grabbed the sauce they give you to pour on top and like a Food Wars: character my shirt nearly came off. Everything here was perfectly balances from the amount of Pepperoni to the edge to edge cheese and the marinara sauce! 5/5 The meatlovers slice not much to say here it was great as well you got your sausage, bacon, Pepperoni what more could you ask for besides poring that marinara sauce on top and watching your eyes roll in the back of your head. 5/5 The 4th slice went to Tony and he loved it as well it was a meatlovers slice. If you have not had Uncle G's Pizza before you need to check them out asap which it's their food truck or there new brick and mortar restaurant set to open up March 27 of 2024 in Hoover, AL! Uncle G's is now in my top 10 favorite pizzas of all time and they get a solid 9.2/10 from me. Honorable mention to the cinnamon rolls that they have. I forgot to mention it. 8/10

    Ty's Pepperoni Whole Pie
    chuck b.

    We were seriously disappointed after all the great online marketing and hype. Takeaways: - No sauce on a pepperoni pizza, just on the side? Why? This is really just pepperoni cheese bread with a side of tomato sauce. - The crust was chewy, no crispness. - We added pepperoni to The Cool It Down(whole pie). It had more pepperoni than the Pepperoni pizza! - $49 for 2ea 9"x9" pizzas (before tax and delivery fees) is outrageously expensive. On the positive side the tomato sauce was really good, but not enough to make up for this very average and expensive pizza.

    The best pizza in Alabama.
    Andrew E.

    Amazing pizza. Been the best in the food truck world for years and now, BAM. We get a physical spot. So happy They specialize in deep dish pizza, but they also do a killer thin crust called a Crispy boy. Try the cool it down pizza. Not your traditional toppings, and it's unreal. The old school pepperoni is top in my book. They use the small pepperoni and the curl up so nice. Great service, clean restaurant. You won't be disappointed. The pizza is made to order so, it's not a walk in and it's waiting for you. Worth The wait!! If you save room for desert, the cinnamon rolls are the best you'll ever have. Huge and have about 2 cups of frosting. I may be exaggerating, but, not much. Wow, they are great cause they are cooked in the pizza over. Crispy on the top and that makes all the difference. Eat local, support your local folks. This isn't a huge chain, so don't expect to see em anywhere else but bham. It's worth the trip.

Overall, I thought the pizzas were pretty good, but not outstanding. The crust, toppings, and cheese were all well done. The crust is medium thickness, similar to Domino's pan-style pizza, if you're familiar with it.

This place had been recommended to me so I figured I'd try it. I got 1 bacon pizza, 1 Pepperoni, and a order of Buffalo wings. I'm not going to sugarcoat this. This pizza was mid at best it was just okay. Reminded me of generic pizza, like if you told me it was frozen pizza I'd believe you. It was like when Little Ceasars use to be bad because we all know they have gotten a lot better over the years. The pizza was really doughy. Like right on the verge of being raw dough. They put the toppings under the cheese so it was like I only had cheese pizza on one of them. It was a floppy mess and the sauce overpowered everything. Couldn't taste the Pepperoni or bacon and the cheese was a bit bland. 6/10 The wings were pretty good even though they ignored how I wanted them cooked. I wanted them extra well done like the option gave me on the app. We did not get that. They were a bit soggy but I have to admit they were still pretty good. Whatever Buffalo sauce they use absolutely said it. 7/10 All in all this place was decent but this would be low on my list of ever spending my money here again. I have been trying to try this place for awhile and when I finally did it was a huge let down.

The meatballs were incredibly tender and exactly what I was looking for. My only minor critique is that the spaghetti was a bit overcooked and leaned towards mushy, whereas I usually prefer it al dente. Even so, it absolutely satisfied the craving.

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.
