Fodor's Review:

Although it fits the criteria of a neighborhood pizza joint -- cheap, casual, and frequented by locals -- this funky-chic pizzeria looks more like a hipster hangout than Jacksonvillians low on dough (pardon the pun). Both in-town locations are slick, Art Deco-inspired spaces with colorful palettes, wood-and-steel accents, and original artwork throughout. As to be expected, the main draw is the pizza, particularly Al's gourmet white pie, but eggplant parmigiana, stuffed shells, and lasagna are also good. The Riverside location caters to its more upscale clientele with table service and a separate bar area, but for some reason, the folks in the kitchen don't grasp the concept of getting all of a table's orders to come out at the same time.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations not accepted.
