Great Cozy Atmosphere with an extensive menu for any hunger for Italian cuisine with the friendliest staff and the Fastest Service. I started with the Fresh Made in House Baked Breaded Cheese Ravioli with a fresh Marinara which was vibrant and delicious My Entree, The Penne Alla Vodka was one of their Specials of the day with fresh baked Focaccia Bread and I couldn't decide on Dessert between the Cannoli or the Tiramisu, so I tried both and took the rest home. This Hidden Gem somehow has eluded me, but I won't let my Yelp friends let this place be missed. So if You're near the Mandarin area of Jacksonville Florida and looking for a new place to take your loved one, sweetheart or hell just treat yourself, stop in Tues through Sunday and Grab Lunch or Dinner, and tell them Big Rich Sent Me!! read more

The food was no better than MCDonalds. very disappointing. Over 50.00 for takeout for 3 people. We ordered to subs and fettuccine with chicken. The subs look like they were on longer hot dog rolls. With very little meat inside them. The fettuccine looked as it was frozen and than warmed up. Very disappointing !! I would not recommend as you will be very disappointed. Maybe a pizza would have been better!!!! read more

The good is that the pizza tastes good. And they do add cheese on top of the toppings. The bad is that just like a recent reviewer, this had to be the smallest large pizza within a 10 mile radius. We are loaded with pizza places - local joints and chains - and this "large" definitely was closer to a medium. The reason they started adding cheese on top of the toppings is apparent in that they are hiding the skimpy toppings. Hardly any meat at all on a deluxe which lists pepperoni, sausage, and beef. I know costs are up but I felt a little ripped off today. We may have to take this spot out of our rotation. read more

Dolce's Pizza - D for cutting effort - sheesh - Pizza Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I love Dolce's! Amazing pizza and my husband doesn't even eat cheese. Love their appetizers and friendly service. I have been coming here since they opened.. quite some time ago. They are very welcoming and I love supporting this local business. Try them out today! My grandkids loved their pepperoni and mushroom pizza! Delicious and fresh. We are there often, and every meal is tasty from their eggplant parmigiana to the fresh salads and pizza. The service is fabulous! They celebrated a server's birthday on Wednesday, November 26, and the way each of the restaurant group celebrated her touched my heart. Fantastic atmosphere! read more

Had their Zeppoles for the first time...Yummy in my tummy! I enjoy visiting when craving a fresh and tasty pizza nearby. Owners and staff are always friendly and professional. My fav place to sit is at the cool and comfy bar to enjoy my drinks and food. Hope to see y'all there soon and join me for some good eats! read more

I feel bad about this rating because the service was great, I had a really nice waitress. The food though... I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it immediately reminded of the frozen tv dinners I had when I was a kid. The salad was plainest you could imagine. The bread was good except a little burnt on one side. I just can't get over the chicken parmigiana though; it was like something you'd get out of a box in the grocery store and it was served on a plate with not well strained angel hair pasta so it was swimming in a very watery marinara colored sauce. Edible yes, but something not worthy of a restaurant. read more

This spot has been a constant in our family for years!!! Consistently great pizza, cold beer, and friendly service. It's a small, cozy spot that never misses. Best on a Friday night after a long week. read more

The food is really good I usually get their pastas my favorite pasta is the chicken Alfredo it really good the service is really good and very friendly the ambience is pretty good nice restaurant I recommend coming here for dinner. read more

Having been here before, this was particularly disappointing. Quick review. Ordered two large pizzas for pick up. $60. Both pizzas looked like mediums. The white pizza? Flavorless. The Buffalo chicken? Flavorful but undercooked. Nope. read more

Meh. Nothing horrible, nothing particularly good. I ordered the pasta bolognese and it was fair at best. Zero seasoning, way too much sauce for the pasta and not really a bolognese. Salad is really just lettuce and cheese with 2 small pieces of anemic tomato. Not really worth the cost and definitely won't return. read more

The calzone was good, a little overcooked from my taste and very watery. The pizza looked great, however, my fathers steak Pita look fantastic and he loved it. We had a wonderful server who is friendly kind and professional. This is definitely a place to go back to. read more

The dough is top notch. Light, crisp bottom barely any flop, solid pizza for anyone looking for an excellent NY slice.

This was the first time visit. The food was delicious as well as the service. According to the pics on website it has been updated. Nice and cozy and quiet which I prefer over big restaurants! Hidden gem in Mandarin just before the Julington Creek Bridge. read more

Always provides "light sauce" for my granddaughter and accommodates my husband's throat issues with a Stromboli substitution. Always delivers on time or sooner! And good pizza! read more

Update - After eating here for over a year we are done. I had my first issue tonight. I ordered the baked ziti dinner (something we order all the time). Well this time it came in an app size container and only had one small strip of noodles in it. I was given the kids size baked ziti. (I know this because we also order that for our daughter all the time). We spend $50-$60 a week here ordering delivery on a crazy night. After I explained what we received the guy behind her on the phone pretty much said no, guess I am lying...lol. It's fine though because I am sure Vinos or V would love to have our weekly business:). I will no longer order from here. NO LONGER THE CASE - Our family loves this restaurant. We have not actually eaten sat down and eaten in the restaurant but we order the delivery all the time. Staff is always so nice, food is delivered fast and always hot. The pizza and dinners always taste great. So glad we found this little place that delivers, it is nice to have a great Italian restaurant deliver instead of the same old chains:). read more

Dolce's Pizza - This is the small strip of ziti we received. I have placed it next to the app container of the fried ravioli we ordered. - Pizza Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I've been going to Dolce's for a long time and keep coming back. It's a nice mom and pop style place with typical Italian dishes. I really like their tomato sauce, particularly on the angel hair with meatballs. read more

Restaurant is open with plenty seating available indoors and a few outdoor tables. I tried the sausage pizza and was very satisfied. The crust was nice and thin yet crispy on the bottom. There was a generous amount of real sausage on the pizza, yum. They have a few beers on tap which is fairly priced. I will be back. read more

Invited here from a friend who works in the area. Ordered the chicken angel hair pasta - asked to add spinach, but they were OUT of spinach. How an Italian restaurant runs out of spinach i have no clue. also ordered chicken alfredo for my 5 yo daughter who is not picky at all about her alfredo, said it had no flavor. would not go back here again... read more

Very good service and good pizza. We order pizza and salads. The salads are big enough to share with two or three people with your pizza

When you walk into an Italian restaurant and it smells like a New York pizza joint, order pizza. I can't say anything about the rest of the menu. I ordered a large pizza and I was able to fold it and soak up the juices off the plate with the crusts. Amazing pizza. read more

Love Dolce's. Family business with great pizza, chicken parm is fantastic, meatball sub is great. We are regulars, at least once a week!!! Check them out! Dave P. read more

Drastically different pizza the second time. First time we ordered the veg specialty and everything was great. We ate in the restaurant. Roughly a month later we ordered a 3-topping large for pickup. Extremely sparse on all toppings (tomatoes, mushrooms and pepperoni) as well as the cheese. Close to $19.00 and tasted like cheap frozen pizza. Haven't been back in over 6 months! Too many quality restaurants here that are much better read more

Darina is da bomb! Best pizza and service.

Dulces Pizza is our favorite pizza spot in Mandarin. They are always very accommodating and Darina is our favorite server. Darina is always very pleasant, attentive and fun. We definitely recommend them. read more

This has to be the worst pizza I have ever had !! Not only did it take them and hour and a half for delivery, (after being told it would be 45 minutes), but the pizza itself was burnt, cold and altogether disgusting!! I had to call 3x to find out where the order was and there was no apology from management. read more

I wanted a sandwich for lunch, and thought this restaurant would offer an Italian hoagie. And yes, it was on the menu, and I ordered it to go. Let's break down what went wrong here. First, I asked for spicy mustard, no mayo, no dressing, and otherwise all the way. It came slathered in honey mustard and mayonnaise, and stuffed with some kind of coleslaw. There was almost no meat in it, perhaps 4 slices of salami. The bread was some kind of white puffy roll with no crunch or bite. More akin to a hotdog bun. The whole thing was cloyingly sweet. This was below cafeteria-grade. The owner of this restaurant should be ashamed of serving such pathetic, uninspired food. I should have gone up the road to Publix, which has consistently solid sandwiches. Avoid this place. I'm never going back. read more

Very expensive for what you get. Food is ok most times. Last time we ordered, the salad tasted like an an ash tray and the chicken we burned black in the chicken wrap. read more

Best pizza in Jacksonville without a doubt! Do yourself a favor and give them a try you will not be disappointed!

Fresh dough. Can't beat the pizza special. Staff is awesome. Must try if in Mandarin area. read more

We really like Dolce's. The pizza and meatballs are delicious! Excellent sauce!! Everything we have tried just has authentic NY/NJ Metropolitan taste. The reason for 4 stars is that the salads need some improvement.... Overpriced for lettuce and a couple small slices of tomatoes. Otherwise Dolce's is great for takeout and eating in if you're in shorts and tee shirts. read more

We eat here about once every two weeks, sometimes once every week. It's that good. Warm friendly atmosphere, kinda reminds me of the North End of Boston. Pizza recipes are varied enough to delight the most discernable palates and their cheese pizza will satisfy all of the "Plain-Janes" out there. Great location. Give's it a small town feel, when you can see your doctor or dentist, then go shopping at the nearby scrapbook or computer store, then grab a bite here and eventually wind up at the yogurt place three doors down. read more

Dolce's Pizza - Bar seating available! - Pizza Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Here again and just ad terrific as last visit. Probably be stopping in once a week for a while. 5 star all over again .

I don't like that I have to give this review less than what it deserves. The last few times I ate here no issues to report. Today was a bit different. Got their lunch special and it didn't satisfy. The servers were very nice and they did a very good job of attending to my needs. Felt like the cook had to scramble to cut up some green . Didn't add enough cheese and the crust was extremely crunchy and hard in certain places. Normally I'd make a cordial stink about but decided it wasn't worth it. I'd be willing to give it another try again but cmon how can you mess up hand tossed pies. Seriously . Until next time ....stay hungry My Friends. read more
