Uptown Pizza

Uptown Pizza, formerly Borrillo's Pizzeria and Beer Garden, serves New York-style pizza across the street from the Mission Nombre de Dios in the Uptown neighborhood. This local eatery uses brick ovens, guaranteeing authentic Italian fare.

Appetizers include garlic knots, pretzel bites, chicken wings, and mozzarella cheese medallions. Salads are also available.

Order a thin-crust pizza varying in flavors and toppings: Hot Chick (Buffalo chicken), Bianca (ricotta and mozzarella cheese), Margherita, Carnivore (all the meats), and The Barbie (BBQ chicken). Additional items such as hot/cold subs, pastas (Alfredo, chicken parm, vodka, and marinara), strombolis, and calzones are meal options.

Relax in the beer and wine garden off to the side of the restaurant. With a laid-back charm, this has become a popular gathering spot for locals and the surrounding community.

Plenty of events are hosted at Uptown Pizza. Listen to live music in the garden, and participate in trivia and karaoke weekly. Check their website and Facebook for schedule updates.

They cater for celebrations, fundraisers, banquets, and gatherings. Call (904) 829-1133 for more information.
