Who says you have to go to New York or Chicago to get your hands on some truly tasty pizza? While those cities have more of a reputation for it, we’ve got some excellent pizzerias right here in
Jacksonville, FL. We took a tour of some of the local favorites, sampled plenty of great pies, then came up with a list of the five best spots to get in a slice in our city so you can try them too.
5 of the Best Pizza Joints in Jacksonville, FL
1. Mama’s Pizzeria and Grill
For Italian cooking that’s just as good as mama used to make, head on down to Mama’s and order up a slice. We loved the simple deliciousness of their Picasso pie, with prosciutto and sun-dried tomatoes improving on the flavor the delicious crust, homemade sauce, and healthy helping of cheese already bring. Munch on some zeppoles for dessert if you want a fried treat to follow your slice with.
2. Biggie’s
It didn’t take long for us to find out why they call this place Biggie’s; the slices they serve up are as big as your head. We can’t get enough of their Hawaiian Luau pie, with mozzarella cheese sprinkled over their homemade tomato sauce base and topped with pineapple and ham, with a drizzle of olive oil to provide the finishing touch. Order up some fresh-baked garlic knots for a zesty side to enjoy.
3. Milano’s Italian Restaurant
Milano’s has been welcoming customers with a friendly smile since 1998, and locals have been enjoying authentic Italian food ever since. Some of the best slices in town can be found here, with a special recommendation going to their Greek pie, with feta cheese and olives giving every bite a unique Mediterranean twist.
4. Brooklyn Pizzeria
Get a taste of the Big Apple here in our city with the authentic NY-style pies served up at this spot. Load up on all the toppings when you order their Brooklyn Special pie or go for a thicker base with the Sicilian thick-crust pie they offer. The chicken wings they cook up here make the perfect partner for your pie, available either mild or hot depending how spicy you like it.
5. Al’s
Join Al’s Club and enjoy rewards like a better deal on the next pie you order. You’ll have plenty of great options to choose from, like their BLT pie. It comes loaded up with crispy bacon, sliced tomato, fresh lettuce, and just a little bit of mayonnaise to give you everything you love about the classic sandwich on a fresh-cooked pie.
You can’t beat the slices being served up from these local pizzerias, just like you can’t beat the deals on a new or pre-owned vehicle that we offer at our dealership.
