I have been to this Donatos location 3-4 times in the past few years. They are just across the intercoastal bridge and bonus, they have a drive-thru for pick up. And a few designated spots in the front if you want to go inside to pickup. On my last visit, I ordered a margarita pizza and Tai chili wings. We sat outside as it was a lovely Spring night. They brought our food to us. I was impressed with the pizza. There was a balsamic glaze drizzle on top. That was original and added a nice flavor! The wings were OK. The drums were a little fatty for my taste. But the drums were good and the sauce was tasty. I suggest giving them a try.

I ordered Donatos for a Saturday lunch just to try the place as I had never tasted their pizza. I liked the idea of having toppings that went to the edge of the crust and I usually like thin crust pizza when it's done well. My order was simple - a 10-inch pepperoni pizza and an order of asiago cheese bread with garlic. When it arrived, the pizza was a little lopsided but it had a pretty good taste to it. The crust was thin but it was not greasy and the pepperoni was soft and plentiful. The cheese bread on the other hand was not good. It was burnt and had cheese topping it that wasn't consistently spread across it. It was thick in some areas and thin in others. The flavor wasn't great and mine didn't come with the marinara sauce that was advertised. This wouldn't be my "go to" spot for pizza. I love cheese bread and cheese sticks and their version just wasn't good.

Love pick up pizza!

Yum! We all love Donatos Pizza in this house! We ordered online for a window pick up and our order was ready, on time and exactly what we ordered. The girl at the window was so friendly too! We ordered 3 cauliflower crust pizzas...2 four cheese and 1 veggie as well as a medium thin crust with sausage, pepperoni, onion and peppers. We also added 4 garden salads and some brownies and cookies for dessert. We loved everything! I highly recommend Donatos Pizza.

Roasted garlic with thick crust

Good pizza and good people! We entered the free pizza Friday contest on Instagram and won a free one topping pizza so we stopped in today! I ordered the roasted garlic pizza with thicker crust and it was amazing, next time I'll have to ask for extra garlic! And we also ordered the garlic Asiago cheese bread. Everything was fresh and flavorful and i know I'll be back to try their plant based options!

On Valentine's Day, I decided to surprise my husband with gifts and pizza! I wanted to try a new pizza joint and stumbled across Donatos Pizza on a friends social media post. When I went to their website (few weeks before Valentine's Day) they were offering heart shaped pizza! I had to order it! My husband loved his pizza! He gobbled it all up barely leaving me a slice or two but I was happy overall with the taste, the pizza shape and the customer service! Very happy customer. You know what they say, happy spouse means a happy house!

I love pizza as much as Oprah loves bread. So when Donatos was listed as a yelp event I was eager to try it. The style of pizza is not new to me, in Maryland they have a place called Ledo's that bakes and cuts their pizza in a similar way. We ordered our usual, pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese pizza with a side of breadsticks and wings. The wings are DYNOMITE. The sauce to chicken ratio was perfect. My wife seemed to really like the breadsticks. Now when it came to the pizza, I made a mistake and ordered extra sauce. I thought the photos from the others customers showed a dryer style pizza. I know next time go with regular sauce. The toppings to dough ratio were good and I feel like we'll order from Donatos again when we're out at the beach.

#ThankfulThursday My T.T. Shoutout goes to Donato's Pizza; my new pizza joint BFF and Jacksonville's first and only edge-to-edge pizza shop. I often get that "hoodafukyouthinkyouare" look everytime I request a pizza shop to stretch their ingredients all the way to the edge and quite honestly, they screw it up anyways. Donato's edge-to-edge solved this for me. I love a crustless pizza. The less crust the better, that's just my preference. So I have been wanting to try this place since they opened many months ago. It's abit further drive for me but worth it. Their crust & pizza tasted delicious. It was a win-win for the family. I cannot wait to come back here again. They have different items to offer that I really want to try.

Cauliflower Bruschetta Pizza

I always hated negative reviews that said they didn't like a type of food after going to a restaurant that served that food. Like, a 2 star review of a sushi joint that ends with, well I kinda don't like sushi. Sooooo, I don't want to just end with a review implying I don't like Ohio style pizza. Not that I particularly dislike thin crust, but I think it's easy to overload these. There has to be a balance of crust, sauce, cheese, and topping. But you know what? That's also a bit of ignorance on my part because I don't have much experience with this type of pizza. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ordered pies with so many toppings right off the bat. If I ordered this thin crust again, it would be a cheese pizza or pepperoni. Hmmm, maybe the spinach chicken mozzarella. If you look at food the way I do, that's what I personally recommend. Don't get anything with too many meats and other toppings, not even the Founder's Favorite. It also occurred to me that compared to other crusts, you don't want to let this one sit because it'll lose that perfect initial crispiness. So we lose some of the texture in these by only having them as takeout/delivery. I got the hot chicken pizza on a hand tossed crust. It was pretty good, although I didn't think it was all that different from some chicken pizzas I've had elsewhere. The pickles really make it work. *sigh* 4 stars it is. I'll probably be back here again, but it won't be for a while cause I'm tired of thinking about this (not to mention tired of eating it lol).

Really tasty counter service pizza place that is an answer to my daughter's VEGAN PRAYERS. Both of my daughters are allergic to dairy and gluten, so when I saw the vegan options they were EXCITED. We had a little snafu our first go round as their ordering system would not show "no cheese" on the order. No problem, I called them and they made everything right and I drove and they picked up the corrected version. Here is what's we tried: Pepperoni - my son says you rate a pizza joint by its pepperoni and he was quite impressed. Smaller size pepperoni that curl up up on the ends, just right. Favorite - why doesn't everyone put banana peppers on pizza, so good! Four Cheese - toxic to my daughters, but my wife and son loved this. Hawaiian - I did not try this one, mostly because it was gone. Gluten Free Skinny - Really delicious, our version had no cheese but it was still delightful. Gluten Free Its all Greek to me- Really good, and perfect for a dairy free pizza. Order online, thru their app, or call in. And it'll be ready when you get here. plentiful parking and service couldn't have been better. Special thanks to Erin for correcting our order and letting us know how to correctly order vegan in the future.

Large pepperoni pizza, cheese bread with marinara sauce, small half veggie half cheese pizza and a side salad.

We decided to try Donatos tonight for an early dinner delivery and for the most part were pleased. Online ordering was a breeze, pizza arrived at the time stated, delivery person was nice, and the items were hot. We ordered an order of the cheese bread with marinara sauce, a side salad, a small half veggie half cheese pizza, and a large pepperoni pizza. I thought the food was good for the most part. The bread was a little overcooked and charred on the bottom. My husband did not care for the pizza crust on the pepperoni pizza. He got the thicker choice, as he doesn't like really thin. Probably not the best place for him with thinner style crust. I would order again. They also have sandwiches and calzones according to the website.

Donato's has definitely become a local favorite and I can wait until they open their new location in Mandarin just off San Jose on Old St Augustine Rd across from the Big Lots Plaza. Although the Pizza is delicious and, I'll be so happy to save the extra 12 miles of travel to get my Donato's fix! I highly recommend grabbing the family or friends and pick up a few pizzas, their freshly made subs and that Cinnamon Bread!!

Cauliflower Heat (no pepper jack add tomatoes) on original thin crust. Not as good as the cauliflower crust

How is the vegan pizza crust? Is it still crispy and crunchy and as delicious looking as the original thin crust? I'm curious to try...

It is definitely a crispier crust, and tastes close to the original. Our cauliflower is gluten free, and definitely my favorite all around one if you don't need a vegan crust.

Everything on the menu is delicious, the staff is wonderful, and they stand up to bigotry in their own backyard. You can't get much better than that. The only drawback (if you can even consider it one) is just figuring out a good time to arrive to avoid a line. Regardless, even if there is one, the staff moves through it quickly and efficiently. As Sub Cultured is a walk-up window, there's some outside tables to sit, as well as the option of sitting in your car for that car-hop action. Otherwise, you're so close to the beach and parks that taking your sandwiches for a picnic isn't a bad idea either. If you can't find parking immediately at Sub Cultured, there's a little shopping center just next door since there doesn't seem to be much for street parking outside of their handful of spots. All of that said, I'm a transplant to Jacksonville via the Navy since 2004. One of the biggest cravings that I have from back home is a real authentic sausage, pepper, and onion grinder. I can't even begin to describe to y'all how great Sub Cultured's is with that spicy Italian sausage and perfectly cooked peppers and onions. Add a little spicy brown mustard and you're all set.

The bulgogi sub was a nice spin on a traditional cheesesteak. The fries were just ok but substantive. The first time I placed my order at the window and the second time I called in the order. The wait was reasonable both times. Service was very friendly. I've turned my family on to this place so when they're in town visiting, I know they're gonna stop by!

Maybe I'd ask for the sauces to be served on the side. The fries were okay - they did fill the styrofoam box to the brim and was generous in serving two cups of the Cosmic sauce; I think these could have been dropped fresh, as when we received them, they seemed as if they were prepared in advance and was sitting for a bit.

I ordered online for takeout and got the Mercury combo (Mercury burger & cosmic fries) for 15$ and the Venus wings for 135. The mercury burger was by far my favorite item I had but i was expecting that it would be a little bigger with the price tag but I ain't mad at it, it was still a great burger nonetheless. The cosmic fries were below average and that could stem from the way the fries are made (shoestring style) but even then the seasoning on it was nothing special. The cosmic fries came with a cosmic sauce that was great and was a perfect addition to the burger. The Venus wings were solic with pretty good texture but ridiculously overpriced with a price tag of 13$ for 5 wings which is a scam, if you charging 15$ for wings they gotta be the best wings ever (they weren't). The Buffalo sauce that comes with the wings was definitely hot and the bba and ranch were decent. All in all, it's a solid spot that ! could see myself coming back to for their Mercury burger.
