Al’s Pizza

Nice quaint location. Casual self seating. Reception could use some help greeting customers, not as friendly as could be. Once seated, received menus from a server. Drinks orders taken. We had another server come by ask if we were ok and if anyone mentioned to us the free appetizer when you download their app. Nice app with rewards. After that we sat and sat and sat, had to stop a waiter to take our order. Food order didn’t take long at all. Small Greek Salad came out first, which was great tasting. We shared it with 3 people and was plenty. Then came fried ravioli which was even more tasting, crunchy and ooey gooey cheese. Yum! Our food was out before we knew it. We ordered Small 10in Al’s White Chicken Florentine Pizza. Can be shared by two people for a light lunch. Nice and light, then crispy crust. We also ordered lunch portion Chicken Parmigiana. Easily can be shared with two people. Overall good was great! Service needs improvement. Either they don’t have enough servers to handle the flow or they need to be more on point with their tables.

The food is good but I recently had a bad service experience I need to share.
I ordered baked ZitI for my son from the kids menu. It did not describe tomato sauce anywhere in the description, only pasta with cheese… baked. I ordered it. When the server brought it to our table I politely refused it because my son does not eat any but the most minimal amount of tomato out of choice.
The server became defensive and tried to explain that «everything on the kids menu had tomato sauce». Two of the items, lasagna and the ziti do not describe in this way. I accept that lasagna is known to have tomato sauce but it’s not unreasonable to regard baked ziti as less common and more malleable as a dish.
After she brought out a replacement I tried to smooth the situation by explaining my son’s habits in a friendly way. She walked away with a «uh huh» and a disssmissive hand wave over her shoulder.
Then a cook in a dirty apron came outside where we were eating, scowled at us, and went back inside. There have been other times when I have seen cooks eating on the line and other oddities.
I don’t think we will go back and it’s a shame because the food really is quite good. However, there always seems to be a lax and unprofessional approach to service.

Living at the beach, I’ve eaten pizza by the slice from other Al’s locations and it’s great. This one is located near our condo so since I didn’t feel like cooking or dirtying any dishes I decided to give them a try.
I think they’d have delivered but I didn’t want to hassle with it or wait so I called in a pickup order. I used the menu on Unilocal to look for my options. I also wasn’t super hungry so I opted for a chicken Caesar salad and decided to try the appetizer of fried Ravioli.
The gal that took my phone order was pleasant and efficient. She read it back to me for accuracy and told me 10 – 15 minutes.
Easy to find right on A1A. Coming from the north you have to make a u-​turn to get into the parking lot. Private lot so there’s plenty of spaces to handle any sort of crowd. Once inside I told the gals I was there to pick up and they asked for the last 4 digits of my phone which is what I had to give them over the phone. Thankfully my order was ready and checkout was a breeze.
Once back home I tried my hot appetizer first. A little on the «crispy» side but not bad. Salad was a good size, actually couldn’t eat it all. Pretty good amount of grilled chicken on top along with croutons and parmesan cheese. Overall I was pleased and would definitely repeat.

Ate there Friday night. Had the misfortune to be seated next to a group from NJ… loud, obnoxious and could care less about other patrons. Management should ask people like this to lower the voice level or leave. This is becoming a more frequent occurrence in PVB.

Al’s caught my eye while traveling along Highway A1A, on our way to the Sawgrass Hilton Garden Inn. Luckily we had enough time during our visit to stop in for lunch. I had the Eggplant Parmesan and house salad. This entrée was delicious! I enjoyed the thinly sliced, lightly breaded eggplant, topped with melted mozzarella cheese and served with rigatoni or ziti in tomato sauce and 2 pieces of garlic bread. It was plentiful and yummy!

I want to give a higher star rating, but I can’t. We frequent Al’s for takeout quite a bit due to its proximity to our current living space. The staff is always great… friendly, welcoming and our order is always correct and ready when they say it will be.
The pizza is fine, but not what I’d expect from a pizza joint. Having just moved from the Northeast, I know I’m biased but a soggy crust is never good. Maybe a few more minutes in the oven?
I will say the toppings are always fresh and the entire family lives the sausage pizza.

The food is always delicious! They are great with delivery too. Food is prompt and fresh when it’s delivered. I would always choose Al’s Pizza over any of the other pizza places.

BLT pizza; nothing short of genius, it taste exactly like a blt sandwich, they even drizzle mayo around the edges on the crust, I’d definitely order it again and recommend it too. I also had the garlic wings, they’re on the spicy side but not blaringly so; I’m not into foods that set my tongue ablaze, these wings weren’t that firy, the sauce was unique; although, I cannot put a finger on what it was made of, except garlic, very tasty though, the cheesecake was light and delightful drizzled with a raspberry sauce which was delish, I’ll be trying out other offerings in the near future. They’re a bit pricier than the average take-​out joint but worth it, IMO.

While we have had very good pizzas from Al’s more often than not, they do seem to have a consistency issue when it comes to their product. This evening’s large, Deluxe pizza suffered from an extremely undercooked center, verging on the edge of raw and rendering that part of the pie inedible. Disappointing.

Visiting in ponte vedra and too tired to go out another night, we found Al’s on Unilocal and ordered the pesto chicken pizza — excellent! The person taking our call was friendly, efficient and very helpful; delivery was on time and pizza was warm and flavorful. A good choice thanks to Unilocal and dedicated reviewers.

I called for a salad that I order every time I go into the restaurant needed one to go. I couldn’t stop laughing the girl on the phone that answered knew nothing about the menu and said they one have 1 salad on the menu the employees are way too young and need to have some training

My husband and I were in the mood for some pizza so we looked around the area and decided to try Als. I was a little apprehensive after I looked through the Unilocal reviews, but decided to try it out. The delivery time took less time then expected which was nice (we were quoted within the hour, and it probably took around 30 minutes). We ordered garlic sticks, a garden salad, and a medium pizza (which really seemed like a large). Salad was good — they have a lot more mix-​ins then most restaurants do (mushrooms, cheese, green peppers, olives, onions) and the creamy Italian was great. The sticks were decent, but the marinara sauce was amazing. It tasted fresh and homemade. The pizza was really good, and a lot better then expected (from Unilocal reviews). The only issue we had was that because we were in a hotel, we didn’t have silverware or plates. When I ordered the pizza, I stated we were in the hotel, but only got one silverware set (try sharing a fork with a hungry husband). Overall the food was good — it wasn’t the best meal, but it definitely wasn’t the worst.

Chicken Parmigiana was excellent, flavorful and well prepared. The salad that accompanied the meal was large enough to be a meal in itself. I was at a conference in Ponte Vedra, staying at Sawgrass in the villas. I had the meal delivered. It was promptly delivered and was still hot and the delivery person was pleasant to deal with. I will eat with them again.

I hate leaving bad reviews BUT this is not authentic Italian style pizza. Al’s is American pizza. The sauce barley has any flavor and it tastes like cardboard. When I think of delicious pizza I think NY Style homemade with a delicious sauce and fresh crust. Not here. Good luck!

The worst pizza I have ever eaten. That goes for Tombstone frozen pizzas from the grocery. Fake cheese for sure, chewy crust & gross, kinda sweet sauce. I’d rather eat haggis than try to choke down this crap. Serious folks, go to NYC & taste the real stuff.

Ordered delivery from Al’s Pizza PV great staff answering the phone, fun to talk to. Called to tell us they were busy and were on the way! My special Greek pizza was awesome and our guests loved the ‘New York’ meat pizza! Great service and great servers. Thanks Al!

Believe it or not, I am a discerning foodie but lately I’ve really just had some good food minus my review on 11 South. A great thing about Al’s pizza is that they’ll change out the pizza sauce on their pizzas. If you look on their menu, many of their pizzas are made with Alfredo sauce. As I am not a fan of Alfredo, and I do love my red sauce, it is great to be able to interchange these. Try their sweet ‘n sour hawaiian pizza — with red sauce — blending banana peppers with pineapple along with chicken and bacon toppings on a nice crispy crust is yummy!

Tried this place a couple times and really it’s just a hot mess. My husband and I went on a Friday night and it was chaos. The cooks in front of the kitchen were yelling and fighting with the cooks in the back. The place was disheveled and the servers were frazzled. I’d chalk it up to an off night, but it wasn’t the first time the food was mediocre. The chicken marsala is weirdly overly sweet and served with un-​sauced, dry pasta. It’s unfortunate as there are not a ton of options in Ponte Vedra.

Had called in a pick-​up order on Tuesday December 9^th, 2014 at 5pm.
Pizza was ready and staff was very pleasant and polite. We got a large half hamburg and half pepperoni and medium cheese.
Everyone really liked pizza, but I thought sauce was kind of bland… and I’m a real pizza connoisseur. I thought crust, cheese and toppings were very good.

We ordered a take out veggie pizza during lunch time and when we opened it at home the cheese wasn’t even melted and the crust tasted stale and old.
I’ve ordered from this location a few times prior and it just wasn’t as awesome as others I’ve been too.
