My wife and I stopped by Carpenettiiās and ordered a large pizza and a salad. The pizza was decent ā better than chain spots like Papa Johnās or Dominoās ā but it wasnāt anything special or memorable. The salad was fresh, though very basic with minimal ingredients. Overall, the experience felt pretty average. Not bad by any means, just nothing that really stood out or set it apart.

First time there. Pizza was ok. You pay for the toppings, 2.75 ea. They should have separate bathrooms. Very disgusting. Pee all over the floor. Too bad. Will not return.

Busy place on a Friday. Ordered Togo in person. Live about 10 minutes away. Cheese bread (mozzarella) wasā¦ okay. Should have gotten the knots. Pizza was good, but I would not consider it the best in Alabama. At least getting ToGo. Size was larger than normal which is a bonus. The sauce is A+. Oh, and service was great.

After reading some of the reviews here with folks taking exception to what they perceive as lackluster customer service, I felt compelled to write my own review of this fine establishment. The important question to ask yourself regarding pizza is simple: would I consider entering into a cage fight with a group of old nuns just for a bite of this pizza? If the answer is yes, then you have yourself a winner. Such is the case with Carpenettiās. In the pizzaverse of Alabama, much has been left to be desired in terms of getting your hands on a pie that doesnāt taste like halfassery incarnate. Too often it seems that the recipe for pizza success is to slap a few zesty vowels on a neon sign, throw in ābrick firedā or some other such descriptor, and voila! Unfortunately, clever marketing does not a good pizza make. To be clear, I donāt know what makes a good pizza, but I do know where to find one, and thatās at Carpenettiās. Which brings us to the issue of customer service and atmosphere. If youāre looking for a next level dining experience that will both feed your childlike need for affirmation and your literal stomach, then perhaps you might be better off seeking other pizza destinations. If you cannot possibly stomach a dining experience that doesnāt include the well trained facade of congeniality and homegrown Southern charm, then I will say that Moody and the greater St Clair County area do offer other culinary options that can and will meet those needs. If you want the best damn pizza in the state of Alabama and donāt mind that the employees arenāt giving off free hug vibes, or that the restaurant has the operating hours of an arctic post office, or that the atmosphere is like someone froze time just as your great aunt lit up a Virginia Slim at Showbiz Pizza, then you, my friends, are in luck. If Carpenettiās ever starts marketing themselves as the bestest most friendliest lilā pizza joint in town, then Iāll rewrite this whole thing. As it stands now, they just advertise the best pizza, and thatās what theyāve got. So, enjoy and try not to get in your feels when they donāt make you feel good about your inside boo boos. Itās a pizzeria. Maybe one day when it becomes Carpenettiās Pizza and Cognitive Therapy, all will be right with the world. Until then, embrace the best pie in Bama.

Excellent service. Walked in for the first time after hearing about it for almost 20 years. I kind of didn't know what I wanted and was asking questions about price and time frame on a large pepperoni, the lady was patient with me and super nice. The pizza was done sooner than the quoted time of 25 minutes. Love that! Before I left she offered to refill my drink which is hella dope when ordering takeout. Be back in 30 minutes to review the pizza after I eat it.... WOW it's HUUUUUUUGE. Pizza was overall pretty good, lots of cheese, crust was tasty. The sauce was good. The coke from the soda fountain was on point! Overall a good expirience, and not a bad pricepoint, i believe a small is under 10 bucks and the large is right under 20, but its so big that you'll likely be full after 2 slices or less. Is it my favorite tasting pizza? No, but its definitely not bad, and if i had a choice between going to get dominoes, papa johns, or carpenetti's i'd come here. It would be a great spot to eat inside. Very homey, family feel, got that red and white plaid tablecloth and brick walls if i remember correctly. If i lived a little closer id probably come a lot more often.
Large pepperoni and a coke, 23 dollars. Fed me and my roomate two and three times respectively.

Honestly wouldnāt purchase from them again. The pizzas are way overpriced. Papa Johns seriously costs less and tastes better. Wish i loved this place, but just couldnāt!
Went on a Saturday at around 6 pm. I've never felt so ostracized in my life. Every single person, except for one waitress, was white. Didn't even want to pick up my order after placing it. Got the Alfredo pizza in XL and 6 or 8 wings with ranch for $50. Pizza tastes like the Alfredo pizza from Papa Johns. Didn't even taste like authetic pizza from Italy. Go to Antico's in ATL for the real deal.

I've eaten at at almost all of the top-ranked pizza places in Alabama (Valentina's, Tortuga's, Pizza Ed, Mater's, Davenport's), but this was my first time at Carpenetti's. As far as the pizza goes, it is my new favorite.

I walked in at 6:30/6:35, the older lady working on taking orders was very snub and rude. She might need to consider retiring if sheās rushing closing time of 7::30! Maybe she was having a bad night! Anyway ended up at Waffle House , maybe I will try again another day
Love the pizza š
