50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Jacksonville

“We've enjoyed Carmines a number of times. The food and staff are always amazing. The service is quick, the food is hot and the staff checks in throughout the meal which is great. Tonight we were able to participate in the Dining Out For Life event which makes us love Carmines even more. Thank you to the owners for opening your hearts for a great cause. See you guys again soon.Parking: The parking lot is not huge BUT there is always space around to park so don't let that stop you. The food and service is worth it!!“

“LOVE!!!!! My husband and I tried this place tonight. We were hesitant because it didn’t look busy. Upon entering we saw some families inside. We ordered a large half deluxe half pepperoni. It was the best pizza we’ve had in Jacksonville by far. Another family told us they drive 30 minutes to eat here. We were on this side of town but live 35 minutes away. We will definitely be back. This will be a new favorite place for us.“

“Really good pizza restaurant. It has a bit of a hole in the wall vibe, but the food and service are great. I had the Special Pizza without black olives. The flavor of the pepperoni and sliced meatballs was delicious. The Pizza crust never became soggy. The cheese was also very flavorful. The staff was very friendly and attentive.“

“A nice size pizza and a nice confident chef. The fresh tasting ingredients are the stand out for this establishment. But I was very impressed with the pizza chef opening the boxes to show the quality of the purchase before you leave. As a stromboli lover, I am happy to report that this is one of the biggest strombolis I have ever seen...would love to have a sauce however.“

“As a vegan, it is hard to find places with vegan pizza options and gluten-free crusts. Wild Pie checked all of the boxes and the pizza "themes" were absolutely delicious! We had the Saucy Sausage and Peppers and the Power to the Pesto. My dining companions are both meat eaters and they loved the flavors and said they would never be able to tell that it was vegan, so it's a great place to bring your non-vegan friends. In addition to the wealth of pizzas, they also had about half a dozen plant-based appetizer choices and several salads. Even the drink options, canned and from the fresh brewed containers, were all healthy and delicious. I went back again a few weeks later and had the seasonal "Let's Taco-Bout it" and it was amazing!“

“This place is WELL worth it! We stopped in at ELEON Pizza & Pastry in River City on a whim. They are a true diamond in the rough. You can’t find desserts like theirs anywhere. Period. The goodies in their bake case are nothing short of beautiful. Their shakes are insane. Looking at the rest of the menu, there are plenty of food and sweet options and every one looked/sounded amazing. THIS.PIZZA. The owner talked a big talk but he certainly walked the walk. With impressive experience around the world and eye for quality, this is probably the best pizza I have EVER had. Last but not least, their customer service was everything you could want. They are a husband and wife duo who took time to genuinely engage in conversation with us. They are a small spot now but have big dreams. I look forward to being one of those people who can say they knew them before they blew up. Run don’t walk. You won’t be disappointed!“

“This is gotta be the absolute best pizza that I ever ate. I grew up 58 years in Pennsylvania and tried pizza from New Jersey ,New York ,Pittsburg and everywhere in between. My wife and I moved down to Jacksonville a year and a half ago and found this quaint little establishment and they serve the best pizza that we ever ate. We also had The Stromboli and a calzone and were equally epic. If you’re in the area, you have to make a point to stop very friendly owners. Just got a meat lovers pizza tonight and had a slice. It’s a six out of five.“

“15 minutes before closing, we were greeted as if it was the opening for the day. This was our first time visiting Vito’s Pizza and the young ladies who waited on us answered all of our questions, made recommendations enthusiastically and were very attentive to our needs. Vito personally came over to welcome us and express his appreciation for choosing his restaurant for dinner. Vito’s Pizza has been open for 8 years and I am angry with myself for not trying them out sooner. This will definitely not be my last visit and I surely will be telling my family and friends to check them out.“

“It's truly a great pie. Go here no regrets if you like a neopolitan style pizza. The dough is unforgettable. We ordered the burrata too and was good. More balsamic and more tomatoes (heirloom)would have been better I think. Beers in a can or bottle but really should be on tap. They are here to stay so please get some taps and maybe cover some of the outside. This should be extremely popular all day and night long. Will be back! Love it“

“Mellow Mushroom exceeded my expectations with both its delicious food and excellent service. The variety of options on the menu catered to my taste preferences, and each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail. The service staff were friendly, attentive, and ensured a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Overall, I highly recommend Mellow Mushroom for a memorable dining experienceParking: I recently visited Mellow Mushroom with my family and was pleasantly surprised by the convenience of parking. The restaurant had ample parking space available, which made it easy for us to find a spot without any hassle.Kid-friendliness: The restaurant’s kid-friendly atmosphere made it a perfect choice for our family outing.“

“Glad we stopped in here. Visited for the first time Saturday night and had a great experience. Reese was our waiter and we couldn't have asked for a better one.Very good at communicating with us throughout the night and was knowledgeable when it came to wine. Seems to really care about making the customers have a good experience.I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends.Thank you !“

“I've been going to Picasso's for years. It has never failed to satisfy. Great food and good service.A few of my favorites: Garlic-Parmesan Bread Twists, Fried Mac & Cheese, Spinach Salad, Ultimate Grilled Ham & Cheese, Crispy Pork Cutlet Sandwich, Low Country Shrimp & Grits, Ramen Noodle Bowl (dinner only), Rosemary-Encrusted Pescado (dinner only).Their pizza is also incredible and tasty. The good combinations are just too numerous to list, but their St Louis style pizza is awesome!If you're not stuffed after your meal, check out their desserts. YUM!Go early or be prepared to wait a little as it is very popular. Everything is cooked to order so don't have unrealistic expectations as to it being fast food.For lunch you order at the counter and it is served to you at your table. For dinner it is full service. The restaurant is closed from 2:30 to 4:30 for dinner prep.“

“Try Stoners Pizza and it impress me how clean it looked when you went in. The employees were friendly and the order was done in the promise time.But what made it one of my favorite places to eat, is that my son usually will eat one or two pizza in other places and with them he eat four. For me that was a great perk.I recommend Stoner Pizza Northside to anyone. Thank you!!“

“We went in for lunch today, everything was excellent. We’ve ordered and picked up before but never ate in restaurant. My husband had garlic knots, he loved them. We split a small cheese pizza (I’m from Long Island NY - that’s how you know a great Pizza) which was excellent! We will return for sure!“

“This place had some amazing pizza the meat lovers had sliced meatballs that just made the pizza so good.the desert was just as good we had there key lime pie that was just as amazing. service was really good and the owners were very nice people. if your ever looking for some good tasting pizza this is the place to go. thank yall so much for the kind service we were the couple from port arthur teaxs yalls place was amazing.“

“This is a small restaurant in a strip mall but don't let that influence you. This is a nice place serving up fresh authentic foods. We had the lasagna and the homemade sauce was great. Also had the carbonara and it was good as well. Please note the actual menu may differ from the one online but they have a good selection. We also got lucky and it was free dessert Thursday. Don't miss that. The service was great too.“

“I was able to visit a few years ago but I didn't leave a review. I'll come back to edit on my next visit. The food was so good! We ordered so many menu items. We did share the whole fried fish ? and we enjoyed it. I'll be back to update with pictures soon.“

“This location is customer-oriented. If something isn't right, they want to know so they can make it right. I love the availability of toppings to make my own pizza. It's definitely my favorite pizza spot!Try the new meatballs, they will make you want to go back every day.The pesto sauce and white sauce are amazing together. I can't wait to try the cheese bread.“

“Nice clean price for good Italian food without the formality of formal high-end dining usually associated with Italian restaurants.Dietary restrictions: I have to avoid the typical pasta and bread of Italian food but I found the Italian salad with a side of meatballs was hit the mark just fine.“

“Food soooo good omg the wings the give u your first visit the flavor is crazy good. My kids loved the pizza .. sorry pic came after the taste and I couldn't stop eating to take the pictureParking: Many spots in the back area with entrance to actual restaurantKid-friendliness: Kid friendly kid movies playing Greta desert for kids“

“i love the food service was amazing people was so friendly and was always on point checking in with us making sure we had everything. loved the place and the food pizza was perfect creamy cheese and the perfect amount of sauce the wing also had the perfect amount of sauce. im a “meaty” person so i know my stuff with food? i would give this place 100 stars! really recommend this for any time of the day!“

“My family and I came here after a very long day in the South Bank Medical district ,our server was one of the friendliest and attentive people we have had in a long time! We ordered 2 pizzas and beer the beer was ice cold and the pizza was hot and delicious and the crust was fresh , toppings were really good too! Its great that it's just right down the street!“

“Good chicken wings , pizza and beer , nice outdoor patio to hang out with friends and family, food is a little bit pricey. It can be difficult to find parking if you go at pick times during the weekends.Kid-friendliness: Nice outdoor patio with plenty space for kids to run around without bothering anyone“

“I picked up the pizza so I can not speak about the atmosphere completely. But it looked nice like an old style NY pizza place. However, the PIZZA was DELICIOUS!!!!Parking: It is downtown so, parking will be hard to find right by the restaurant. I got lucky because I picked up during a non-peak period.“

“This place is amazing. But even more amazing is the people that work there. We needed 60 pizzas to help feed the homeless by 9am on a Saturday and they had me out of there before 9am. Thanks to Bill and they rest of the team. God Bless you all and your families.“

“Just left here after ordering for the first time. The service was great..the two young ladies behind the counter were so sweet...the place was nice and clean. The pizza was really good too..lots of cheese :) Letting my office know about you guys. I will be back for sure“

“My favorite local pizza place. They do NY style thin crispy pizza, even by the slice, but they have much more than just pizza, including home-made cheesecake and other desserts. A must try in Mandarin. Update: still my favorite (Dec 2023)!“

“Overall, it was a nice experience. But their garlic cheese bread is to be called garlic cheese pizza, it's not bread, just garlic and cheese on a bread pizza, which is disappointing.Vegetarian options: We can choose the crust and veggies options from the available.“

“Food is always fresh and delicious , we got 2 house ceaser salads with creamy Italian , and a 12" pie with lots of veggies and 3 meats .. love that they have Pepsi products .. and the waitstaff is very friendly and helpful .. been coming to this location since i was 5 years old , I am now 40 , and it's ALWAYS been one of my favorite pizza joints in town ❤️❤️“

“Looking for big, new york style slices? This is the spot. On my first visit I got the meatball sub and a slice of Philly. Not a huge fan of mushrooms but I'll tell ya, I killed that slice. Full of flavor at a great price. This visit I told the owner about how the meatball sub wasn't great and she not only appreciated my feedback but wants to make it better. Its always nice talking to business owners willing to listen and look to please customers. Its an important relationship for local businesses.This visit I got the meat lovers and Hawaiian for my wife. I got the Philly (again) and the BLT. Also a order of mozzarella sticks. Ate the BLT and some sticks, not quite ready for the philly but all was great. Hot, fresh and the slice was a great iteration of a BLT. Crisp lettuce, tons of bacon, tomatoes and a mayo drizzle that isnt too abrasive. Wife enjoyed her meat lovers(also had before and while not a fan on pepperoni, loves this meat lovers).Havent had the pasta yet but will look to try it next time. Definitely give them a shot and if ordering the meatball sub, check that they have the inhouse meatballs. Think thats the game changer from what I had before.“

“Placed a take out order the other night. Great hole in the wall restaurant. Nothing fancy, just really good and affordable food. I had the anti-pasta salad. The dressing was to die for. They did not skimp on the portion either. I ordered a small for $5 and it was perfect. My boyfriend ordered the stuffed shells. It was less than $9 and a good sized meal. Didn't skimp on the cheese. We will definitely be back.“

“While traveling, this yummy pizza place ended up being our one-stop-shop for delicious food, a restroom, and fast service. The food and service were on-point and there seemed to be more than enough staff working! I loved the variety of toppings and crust options so I could make the pizza exactly what I wanted. The ambiance was perfect for bringing two kids into a restaurant. It's not a formal sit down, but an order and sit kind of place. While on the stop we even saw a letters to Santa station which was a nice touch. However, realizing this isn't quite Blaze's fault (more like the landlord) the bathrooms were backed up and closed. A quick fix I'm sure!“

“The lasagna, the Mannicotti, spaghetti with white clam sauce, the scampi, the tirrimissu..All delicious ❤️ love the pizza.The atmosphere is friendly, the staff are always attentive. We ate there, and have also had take outs.Wheelchair accessibility: The entry is accessible.“

“A quaint locally owned eatery. The food is delicious, the staff are all very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Penne alla Vodka (adding chicken) and the Pasta Combo. Both were delicious and well proportioned. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.“

“It’s 9pm, you’ve ended your Thursday double. All you want is something other than whatever your restaurant serves, maybe a shot, a $2 slice or some TouchTunes tunes but nothing is open….orSo you thought. You venture to Southside Blvd and discover this late night oasis buried behind a sea of fast food options and stale ale haus’s. Walking in you suddenly realize the gem of a live music, touchtunes and endless rumpies fountain of a bar you’ve unearthed. Here you’re a regular as long as you wear your uniform to the bar and order the bartender whatever you’re havin as well. Jill, Kenzie and Bailey will pop you the fake smile you’ve finally wiped off your face for the day and tell you life’s amazing until you share a shot and you’ll both daydream about the time your night will finally come to an end. We love this place. Whether you’re coming off shift to get a bite, beer or bottle of $2 wine you’ll find it here. The kitchen pumps food out till 12:45 and bar is pouring till at least 1. Mellow southside is a staple in this area and it always will be. You want outside seating? You got it. You want live music? It’s here. You want a late night snack? They gotchu. LLMM“

“Our first experience was last night. I don’t know why we haven’t been here years ago. It’s very comfortable inside with a medium size bar area, booths, and tables. We had excellent service and the food was very fresh and delicious. I’m a pizza snob . Their pie had a tasty sauce . Not too sweet and fresh mozzarella. The house salad was great with their creamy Italian dressing. I only wish it was a larger portion because I could eat that every day.“

“Our first time here tonight and it will not be our last!! Our waiter was so attentive!!! The white pizza was so delicious, we added several items and it was so worth it!!! Very clean and at atmosphere was very relaxing... Thank You for our first visit for us to have an amazing night out!!“

“Fabulous! Maybe the best pizza I've had in 5 years. Slices are rare these days but Biggie's are, well, BIG! Nice thin crust, NY style pizza. They also have the thicker Sicilian style, I just haven't tried that. I got a pepperoni slice and a Buffalo chicken slice. The Buffalo was out of this world. Def gonna be my fave. Wife had 2 different veggies. Loved it all“

“Dr. Courtney Whiting is the best that I have ever had. There is no doubt in my mind she cares about my girl. She always does what’s best for her even getting down on the floor with her to make her feel at ease. Holly has always been wonderful to as a nurse. I am 100% confident in their care for Izzy. I consider Dr Whiting Family as she takes care of what’s most important to me and does it with love, compassion, wisdom, and passion. I am so grateful to her. I would never allow anyone else to care for my Izzy except her.“

“We were in Murray Hill picking up our pottery from Jacksonville Pottery Studio (another place I'd recommend!) and decided to stop in as I've been really curious ever since I heard about a Larry's with a pizza restaurant in it. I thought it was going to be two separate restaurants sharing a space, but it's actually all owned by the same people responsible for Larry's! Just like Larry's bread is from NY, the pizza dough is made with NY water so it tastes more authentic! I actually don't really like NY pizza, it's too thin and "floppy" and greasy a lot of the time, but Fired Up pizza was really good and while it still had some "flop" to it, it was much more sturdy! Lol We sat at the bar and from there you can see the pizza cooking in the pizza oven. We saw some wings comes out too that looked realllyyy good!Service at the bar was good! They were nice and told us sort of the history of the Larry's people deciding to start a pizza restaurant. Food came out quickly too! I'm currently eating the leftovers for lunch, so I can attest it's still good the next day reheated in the toaster oven!“

“Last night was my first time eating at pizza cave, and immediately upon walking in, I was transported into a cozy, quaint little restaurant. The atmosphere was phenomenal, I felt like I could hang out for hours! We were immediately greeted by Kat with a very welcoming smile and presence.Kat brought us our food fast and checked up on us multiple times, making sure our food was satisfactory and always asked if we needed anything. Thank you so much for being our waitress, Kat! I will definitely be coming back and bringing all of my friends here ^-^ also the pepperoni pizza was sooo good, and if you've never tried swamp fries, you really need to!!“

“The food was okay. But I don't think it was worth the money For a small sandwich And a little cup of pasta It wasn't worth thirteen dollars And the lobster bisk soup Had a really fishy taste to it. If you're looking something for kind of new You can try it once But I don't think I would go back a second time Sorry but it's not worth my money“

“The restaurant has good ambiance and was a pleasant place to have a celebratory dinner. The food is a little expensive for what you get, but not outrageously so. The best part of our experience was our server. She was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and efficient.“

“We were just looking for a nice dinner and this ended up being the best part of our trip to Jacksonville!!! Best true Italian food ever and great service! Strongly recommend! We loved the owner/manager (think it was Freddie) and our server (Angela we think) was awesome too! If we can squeeze in another dinner, we will be there. This is a must do if in the area!“

“Honestly the food is really good, the service really good theirs sometimes one worker from when I've been here but they are very respectful and patient, if you done by Southside come give it a tryWheelchair accessibility: It's a decently open area for wheelchair accessibility, wouldn't see any problems if someone in a wheelchair wanted to go in“

“We lived in the area when Toscana first opened, before FB, and it was amazing. Our first time was for our 3rd wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have asked for better food and service. Went went at least once a month after that until we moved from the area. The owner, who waited on us on multiple occasions was always so thoughtful. We were pregnant with our first, as was his wife and, and we spent a lot of time talking about our soon to be children. We moved before our son was born, but whenever we think back on our time in Jacksonville, this restaurant and its owner, always come to mind. We are so glad to see that they are still around and wish them continued success. If we ever make it back to the area we look forward to bringing our boys to place that hold so many memories for us.“

“GAMBLE?️ GAMBLE?️ GAMBLE?️I absolutely have to give recognition to the GM Gamble!!!I had an issue with the third party ordering service that I used and decided to call the restaurant. I was already hangry and Gamble took the reins and made me a forever customer. He was friendly, understanding , efficient and most of all he solved my problem and really took care of me.He got my pie out and delivered it personally. I’ve never experienced such A1 customer service! I am so grateful for his service and I want to make sure that he knows just how amazing he is. Truly made a difference in my experience. Thank you Gamble if you see this. Keep doing what you’re doing!“

“Crispy's is a great lunch or happy hour spot located right in Springfield! I went on a Wednesday and had lunch at the bar with amazing service. I ordered the pizza special which comes with two pizzas, a salad and a drink. I believe these two slices were the Hubbard and the Main Street pizza for $11.75 and they were delicious. Great staff and great environment. Also family friendly.“

“I have been looking all over Jacksonville for good pizza and I’ve found it at Vinny’s!! The crust is a little floppier than I’d like, (should’ve ordered well done) but that sauce is out of this world, the crust flavor, fantastic, all around GREAT NY style pizza.Barstool Pizza Rating:Easy 8.8 / 10“

“I was in search of a quick lunch and was looking for a Pizza spot. I found Wise Guys 7 mins away. The service was great and med. Pepperoni pizza for 7.25 was not bad. The sauce and cheese made the pizza and it tasted good. I will go there again soon.“
