Al's Pizza — Ponte Vedra Beach

From Italy to the First Coast

Al’s Pizza began as a dream that traveled across the Atlantic. After arriving in the United States from Italy in 1978, founder Al spent a decade honing his skills in pizzerias throughout New York and New Jersey. In the late 1980s, he brought those classic Italian-American flavors to Florida, opening his own restaurant in Jacksonville. A few years later, an old Gate gas station in Ponte Vedra Beach became the setting for his next pizzeria.

What's on the Menu

Al’s Pizza is known for its commitment to fresh ingredients and traditional techniques. This no-shortcuts approach has earned the brand a loyal following and multiple local awards over the years.

Award-Winning Pizza

Each pizza is made to order, with hand-tossed dough, house-made sauces, and generous toppings. The menu features a wide variety of specialty pizzas, from classics like margherita and pepperoni pizzas to more adventurous options with fresh vegetables, artisan cheeses, and gourmet toppings. Guests can also build their own pizzas, with gluten-free crust available upon request.

More Than Just Pizza

While pizza takes the spotlight, Al’s Pizza offers a full menu of Italian-American favorites, including:

• Hearty pasta dishes, such as fettuccine alfredo and spaghetti with meatballs
• Lasagna layered with fresh ricotta, mozzarella, and homemade meat sauce
• Appetizers like garlic knots, fried ravioli, and bruschetta
• Kid-friendly meals designed for younger diners

Dine-in, takeout, and delivery options are available, making Al’s a convenient choice for families, groups, and weeknight dinners alike.
