    Carnivora
    Naw-am D.

    Always the perfect pizza. Always the perfect wings. I don't know what else to say except they are a staple, a go to , and a must try in Jacksonville. The Gate pkwy location has been a fave in the recent months, primarily because of the outdoor space. With large groups and kids in the mix, we're able to fully enjoy our time together and let the kids play without the constant worry of bothering other patrons. My favorite pizza is the Carnivora and the Signature wings are drool worthy. Pizza never feels like it sits in your stomach, their dough is something special! I love the fresh ingredients and the rapidity of service. We're forever fans of V Pizza. Sidecar, as an adjacent entity, has its own vibe. It's a great spot especially if I want to be kid free. I've always gotten a drink or two when I venture to V's pizza, only to come back outside and sip happily. Their cocktails are delicious as well!

    Such a fun place to go with the family! Open space outside for the kiddos to run around too. They have the # 1 Mac n cheese in all of Jax! Super flavorful and you can add prosciutto on top. They have delicious marinaded chicken wings, that are cooked in the pizza oven with the perfect amount of char. Pizza and calzones are great too. They also offer a lunch special. I do wish the staff walked around more to check on tables. I love that these restaurants support the charity V for Victory, which helps families dealing with cancer.

    Was a little disappointed by the pizza, especially for its price. It was smaller, thinner, and drier than I expected. But I did really like the toppings. I did think the wings were really good though! They have lots of meat and are super juicy and tender. The flavoring is really nice and punchy without being too salty too.

    First time customer treat !

    Been to the one in San Marco side car but never got to try their pizza as we always reach late and miss their pizza time. But I passed by gate way and saw there was a V Pizza + side car and was like what? There was one near me this whole time been driving 20mins down to San Marco just for it when there was one 6 mins closer to where I live ! But anyways yesterday I got to sit down and try it out myself and hmmm I have various mix emotion about the pizza. I couldn't find a meat pizza but we settle for a pepperoni- 8.5/10 just wished it was cook in the stone longer for the crust and the dough was abit doughy The Cesar salad was great no complaints - 10/10 And for first time customer they gave this V shape stuff pepperoni which was 9/10 Their ice cream 100/10 definitely something to give a try if you looking for the best flavors ! Got their vanilla ice cream and wow ! You can taste the vanilla bean it's so sweet, creamy and authentic felt like it was made in house too! Overall great experience! Can't wait to try their side car as many location vary with how they make their drinks!!!

    My friend organized a meet up with a bunch of pottery friends & I was so impressed with how quickly the food comes out! First, it was still happy hour when we arrived, so drinks were obvious. The bar was packed and loud. Drink were great, John had a whiskey & coke & I had an old fashioned. Food side was busy, but significantly quieter. We found a large table to claim. I ordered the caprese plate & delle donne pizza (pesto, chicken & spinach). John got a meaty stromboli. The caprese was fresh and perfect on a hot summer day. My friend and I devoured it. Delle donne pizza is one of my favorites! And it was shared by many. John enjoyed his stromboli & he too shared. Staff collected empty dishes throughout the evening. Very enjoyable evening.

    First timer! This location is awesome! The staff is efficient and kind. Shine was fantastic and quick to clear our plates. She is bubbly and has a great personality! Andre is the Operations Director& he popped over to say hello & give us a solid V intro! He was extremely kind & very informative!! Being it was my first time, we got a complimentary half order of the V wings!! Holy smokes, they were BOMB! Twice baked and man it makes all the difference. The flavor was awesome!!! My girlfriend & I split the lunch special: any 10" pizza with a drink OR side salad. We did the Carnivora and a side salad with balsamic. The pizza was fantastic, baked to perfection! We learned the stones for the oven are shipped over from Italy, and the style of pizza is based on Napolitano style. It was so fresh and delish! Will absolutely return to try another! This location was very clean and I loved the set up of the restaurant!

    While I don't think the pizza down in Florida can shake a stick at that of the northeast (I know I was spoiled eating Philly pizza my whole life), V's is probably the best option down here! We've had V's at the beach as well as towards Town Center, and both times we loved how quick the perfectly fire-burnt pizza was! There's a large variety of pizza options to choose from, all of them being solid choices, and the vibes in both the regular restaurant, as well as the newer Sidecar sports bar are awesome. V's probably has the best pizza down here, and that's coming from a Philly guy! Give it a try!

    The new location has an outdoor seating area that is dog friendly right in front which is a huge plus for me. We were there for drinks but decided to order their infamous wings. Everything came out quickly and though we were the only ones dining outside, we were checked on multiple times. Excited to return to try their new crispier pizza dough recipe as well as the steakhouse!

    Tuscan White Bean Soup

    Came on a Saturday, late afternoon. We were drawn to it because of the holiday cocktail menu they were offering... We were able to get a large table outside for our group with kids. There's a small turf area that kids can run around in. It is counter service for both food and drinks so we placed our order at the bar. Food came out fairly quickly- kiddos got meatballs and butter/cheese noodles. Our group had a pizza on cauliflower crust-- it was excellent and eaten very quickly. I had a bowl of the seasonal soup (Tuscan white bean soup). It was pretty good- nice on a chilly day. Like most soup, was fairly salty, but overall good flavor. The side salad was very tasty- fresh ingredients and good size for a side salad. The holiday cocktails were decent- the peppermint espresso martini was a little too peppermint-y for our groups liking but still good. Overall, had a good experience with our large group and kids.

    The new V Pizza + Sidecar near the Town Center is so nice and big! Huge parking lot, indoor and outdoor seating, and the bar is especially large. Much bigger than our usual San Marco location. We got the Flyin Hawaiian pizza and the Layla's Special. This was our first time trying the new crust, and we honestly couldn't tell the difference. The Layla's special was soooooo good, except I do wish it was cooked well done like the Hawaiian one. Next time I will ask for it to be super crispy. Tiki drinks at Sidecar were great as always. They have all day happy hour on Sunday so everything is discounted! We will be back!

    Quattro Formagio with sausage

    We stopped into the sidecars a week after opening to see if we could squeeze in and ended up arriving during the happy hour and finding great seats. The bar staff is so on point and the drinks were delightful. They're already operating like a well oiled machine! The ambiance and decor is perfect and as always the food was delightful. Our food came out very quick and was piping hot. Depending on your timing you may have to wait but that's to be expected for their business model be patient and enjoy some cocktails or other beverages because it is totally worth the wait.

    Worker was nice despite party of 5 one hour before close. Food was all amazing,fancy, and yummy. Super clean and able to seat yourself.

    Casey G.

    I love V Pizza and this one wins for sure. Wonderful layout, amazing service, and really delicious food! Great location, food came out quickly and the pizza ingredients were super fresh. We would stop here everytime we are nearby. This is a must go if you haven't yet.

    We wanted to have lunch at someplace new. Since my husband is a whiskey lover he wanted to check…read morethis place out. It's a free standing restaurant in the St. John's Shopping Center. We were immediately impressed when we went in; lots of dark wood and a long bar with shelves and shelves of spirits. There were mostly bourbons and whiskeys. They even had a rolling ladder so bartenders could reach top-shelf bottles. We had about a 10 minute wait for a table on a Saturday for lunch. The time went by quickly and we were seated at a small wooden table. Our server, Erin, approached us quickly and took our drink orders. I ordered a Blue Moon and my husband had the WC Old-Fashioned. It was made with Evan Williams 1783 Bourbon and he said it was quite good. ($13). For food; I had the Rooster Royale which was a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and hot honey BBQ sauce. It was $16.50, and one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Even the bun was delicious! I'd planned on only eating half; but I ended up eating it all because it was so good. I also had the homemade chips which were yummy too. My husband had the Reuben which was $19. He said it was really tasty and full of meat. He commented that it didn't get "mushy" or fall apart. He had the crispy potatoes as his side and he raved about those too. We really enjoyed our meal at Whiskey Cake and would definitely return. The only drawback I can think of is that they don't seem to have very many healthy lo-cal options.

    We came here today for my goddaughter's graduation celebratory lunch. Having never been here I was…read morenot sure what the menu options would be or what to expect. First I have to commend Christina, who was our server. A table of eight, she managed us with such grace, professionalism, and outstanding service! With a constant smile on her face, she asked us open questions and was very attentive. Not once did I have to ask for an iced tea refill because she was staying on top of it! The menu, though short with options did have a creative variety. We all tried the cinnamon roll, which I have to say was beyond, and I do mean beyond outstanding. In fact, it was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had with the toasted pecans and the sauce. WOW!! I ended up with the pancakes and eggs, and the eggs were cooked perfectly! The pancakes were were thick and had good flavor. It was a little overcooked for what I prefer, but overall, it was very good. Looking at the other options of what friends were having the food looked amazing. I am not a bacon eater, but one of our table mates had a bacon dish that she said was phenomenal. I will definitely be back
