I moved from California to Jacksonville/St Augustine in 2016. For some reason, I have never been compelled to try V pizza. No real reason, it just didn't call to me. Lately I've been seeing a lot of good reviews, so I decided to give it a try. I went to the one in Mandarin and my oh my was I blown away. It was such a cool place. The outside seating with live music and the kids play area totally caught me off guard because I have driven by there 1000 times and never realized that it was so big. It definitely does not look so from the front. When I ordered, they asked me if it was my first time, and I said yes. I ordered the Calabrian wings and the V Special wings and a pie. They brought us out a Stromboli. We explained that we didn't order it, but they said because it was our first time it was on the house. I thought that was such an amazing gesture that you just don't see anymore. The Stromboli was out of this world. Then they brought the wings. My favorite wings since I've arrived in Florida. I've always been at gators dockside. I still love them, but these wings are definitely my favorite by far. That was surprising to say the least. They brought the pizza and I will say that it was good but not great. But all in all, the experience was outstanding and definitely a surprise. I'm not sure why I waited 10 years, but I'm glad I finally went. read more

What a great place to bring the kids and let them run around while the adults eat great pizza and drink! Casual ambience. The salsiccia pizza was quite spicy but delicious!! Their mac n cheese was amazing as well. The bartender was really helpful in suggesting different beer/wine. Once you sit down, it's kind of hard to get service. read more

My son & DIL recommended V Pizza when we were visiting in mid-December; they had a holiday party to attend that Saturday night & we were on our own for dinner. We found out later that they were suggesting the V Pizza in Town Center on Gate Pkwy, but both Google Maps & Apple Maps directed us west along Julington Creek to the Mandarin location which is actually closer to Bartram Park. Thoroughly loved the loud neighborhood vibe here! First, be warned that parking is difficult. Probably a testament to V Pizza's popularity, but the struggle for a spot is real. As a result, we were not surprised with a 15-minute queue at the counter to place our order. However, finding a table was easy, and our subsequent wait for food was minimal. And, wow! I chose the Delle Donne pizza & thought it was fantastic! I loved the crust, and the toppings were perfectly proportioned. Hubs was not as enamored, but liked it enough to want to return to try other pies. He also ordered 5 wings & those were a hit for him. I ordered a couple of Stella drafts for us from the bar (I think I remember that the price was great), and kept a tab open though we didn't really need it. However, when I went to close out & pay, I spotted a seasonal Aardwolf beer on tap. Since that's where the *kids* had gone for their holiday party, I had to try it. I wish I'd noted the name of the brew because it was so tasty! But also heavy & the pour was substantial... I was grateful that hubs helped me finish it. I want to mention the ambiance again because this V Pizza felt like that local pizza joint where everyone goes to hang out & enjoy a great pizza with a crisp beer. Inside was rather loud but that added to the casual vibe. We definitely plan to return! Maybe we'll try the Town Center location eventually, but I was excited to see that V Pizza also has a restaurant in Lake Buena Vista near the Hyatt Place we stay at occasionally. read more

Good pizza, the table service is a bit lax. Not to be a Karen or anything but I had to get my silverware and no one brought me a plate. I also asked for a box and no one came back. The register staff was friendly and helpful. I would give them another shot because I love wood fire pizza. read more

Delicious food, family, friendly atmosphere (full of music and children playing), and friendly service... what's not to like?!?! We spent about $50 on the two pizzas (but they were well worth it). The pizza was hot and fresh and not dried out. My mother who is in town (originally from New Jersey) was very impressed with the quality of the pizza (a lot of places overcook the pizza and it is left dry). We also ordered a sour beer (I can't remember what it was but it was tasty) and a Chardonnay from the bar. They had a decent selection of beer on tap. - I think I heard someone saying that they do not carry hard liquor. Outside my toddler, enjoyed being pushed on the swings and listening to the live music that was playing (on a Saturday night). read more

This V pizza is perfect for all the families in Mandarin, just not my vibe as a DINK. Kinda annoying if you are chilling outside you have to go inside to order food or drink (no table service). The playground around also makes for lots of screaming children. I didn't order food yesterday cuz the line to order was so long, but I did enjoy numerous ice cold crisp beers on tap. read more

new location 7510 Gate Pkwy Unit 101-104 Jacksonv Florid- this was the worst pizza ever. I don't think I ever had pizza slices so thin. it was so thin the grease could be seen through the bottom and you could not pick it up as it was so thin and sharp was not round but rather oval. 13" half carnivora and half pepperoni . Won't be going back there again. What a waist of $24.00. read more

We frequent the V Pizza in Fleming Island and we thought we would try this location. Upon arrival, it was very slow, it was 4:30pm on a Thursday. We walked in and nobody greeted us or acknowledged our presence. We went to the unmanned register, then walked around to the bar, nobody there either. We walked up to a cook and asked where to order, she sent us back to the unmanned register. Someone happened to be clocking in, who said he works in the back, he said he would take our order, finally. All of staff was very nice when spoken to, but it would make a big difference if someone had said, "hello", "welcome to VPizza" or "we will be right with you". We sat outside, all of the tables were filthy, food particles all over the place. Clearly nobody is on cleaning duty. We went to the bar to order drinks and discovered it was beer and wine only. No full bar like the Fleming location. We got our pizza in good time considering no other patrons were there yet. The pizza was on point and equivalent in taste to their other location, displaying consistency in quality. The wings were very large, and the flavor was decent. The staff member that brought our wings needed room on the table so we cleared a pizza pan for her to take but she just walked away without it. Unusual. Overall, the outdoor area had a much better play area for the kids, the food was great, the only thing lacking was customer service. I wanted to remove 2 stars but my husband talked me into only one, please work on greeting people as they walk in. read more

Start off : CAPRESE PLATE WITH PROSCIUTTO DI PARAMA Fresh mozzarella, fresh tomato, fresh basil, EVOO, balsamic good tomatoes could have been a little beefier in slice cut the mozzarella was thinner than the tomato slice. Presentation and prep 6/10 TRADITIONAL CALZONE OR STROMBOLI Mozzarella and ricotta cheese. It was what it was tough to mess this up good char on the dough fresh mozzarella it was good 7/10 Weak pie had an issue holding up at the ends the crust was a typical coal fire taste crunch and grab. Ordered the Piccante Pizza, San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella, soppressata, Italian sausage, and Calabrian pepper paste, all finished with a drizzle of Calabrian pepper oil. It was very thin as you can see and sauce slid off. 6/10 Overall good experience staff was helpful clean atmosphere, very good foot traffic and considering it was A Friday and Valentines Day they moved people well and the process was well executed. read more

Amazing food, extensive menu, fast service, and HUGE seating area. Got a pizza, half flyin' hawaiian and half delle donne. Both sides were so good, and the pizza crust was amazing. Also got 5 V Signature wings and 5 Cryin' Hawaiian wings - ummm what!! The best wings I've ever had (see pictures for reference.) Everything was delicious. read more

This review is specifically for Monday Burger Day. We genuinely love V Pizza and regularly enjoy their pizza and wings -- this isn't about those. We visited the restaurant on a Monday around 11:30 AM. Only 1-2 tables were occupied at the time. We placed an order for three burgers, one of them the "Mexican" burger. After waiting about 30 minutes -- despite the restaurant being mostly empty -- a staff member came over to let us know they were out of jalapeños (on Burger Monday, before noon). About 10-15 minutes later, the burgers finally arrived. Unfortunately, the long wait was just the beginning of a disappointing experience. All three burgers were overcooked, dry, and lacking flavor. The Mexican burger, which was supposed to come with pico de gallo, instead had a cheese sauce and what seemed like guacamole. The bun completely fell apart -- its texture resembled a biscuit, and not in a good way. When we asked a server for a replacement bun, we were told they were out. Again, this was barely noon on Burger Monday, and they had only just opened at 11. The "special" potato salad came in a tiny container and wasn't memorable. The only highlight of the meal was the arugula salad with balsamic and pecorino (I believe) -- fresh and flavorful. We remain fans of V Pizza for their pizza and wings, but we wouldn't return for burgers again. read more

V Pizza puts out the best wood fired pizza in Jax! Hubby and I have been to a couple of their other locations in San Marco and Palm Valley. We decided to give this location a try so we could check out their tap garden. I met hubby after work for beer, wings and pizza on a Friday night. He requested a table in the tap garden. With the live music out there, it was a total vibe! We ordered the v signature wings and a pizza with pepperoni and sausage. As usual, everything was amazing. The wings were flawlessly executed, tender and well seasoned. Our pizza was also very delicious. No shortage of meat or cheese, high quality ingredients, perfect wood fired crust. V pizza never disappoints. Every location has been consistently tasty every time! read more

Food was amazing. The bruschetta and Baratta are our favorite. However; the service was horrible. Our bartender, Toni was less than helpful when we asked about some menu items and when we asked about the beers on tap and which ones were local she rudely said. Scan the QR code and look them up.

READ THIS REVIEW------ Ok people! There's a new champion pizza in town!!!! Impressive menu with high quality toppings and luxury cheese and tomato options. (Most pizzas have shredded mozzarella base and buffala slices on top - awesome!) Great dessert options including tiramisu and gelato! (Rare in JAX) They Napalotano Italy style pizza, very thin crust and 'soupy' in the middle. Is a knife and fork pizza, not a pickup and hold style. (I ordered extra crispy.) Fini Pinot Grigio very good. 55 beers - great selection. I got the pepperoni and Italian sausage (crumbled Yea! My favorite!) First impression is totally awesome! Incredible. Crust edges are golden crispy, great flavor, perfect cheese to toppings ratio, pepperoni and Italian sausage flavors are superior and large cut toppings - a joy to eat. Best pizza I've had in JAX ever! No place is even close. I'm going back to ALL my previous pizza place reviews and lowering their scores by one star! Don't waste your money elsewhere! Absolutely worth the 30 min drive for me. Go! Go! Go! My friend got Ricotta cheese, marinated chicken, onion, spinach. He said, "It's a real Italian pizza!" Overall, perfect 10 out of 10! It's my new go to! PS: Later I read the specialty pizzas - I'm going for the Flyin' Hawaiian pizza next. Has mozzarella, sliced Gouda, honey pancetta, roasted pineapple, nutmeg, brown sugar, red onion, and fresh basil. You can spice it up by adding a 'hit of Calabrian pepper oil'. (It sounded so good I ordered it now, hot oil on the side is recommended.) Flyin' Hawaiian: Skip the hot oil - is very hot and in the throat (7 of 10). Will overpower all the delicate flavors of the pizza. Initial response, "Oh, wow! Home run!" Perfect balance. All the flavors and spices come through on their own. Out of this world good! I've finally found my pizza home in JAX!

Love Vs Pizza, this is the spot I like to come with friends and kids, they have a huge playground area for kids to run around and get dirty while we get to have some good food, beer and enjoy our time. This place is packed during dinner time on the weekends, sometimes the wait for food can be up to 40-50 minutes, but the food is amazing! We love getting the Carnivora, Mac Attack and Ala di Pollo pizzas, their Vs signature wings are to die for they are cooked in the stone oven and get charred just right! Their meatball appetizer is delish and their bruschetta appetizer with the flatbread are delish! Definitely a place to try if you want to have the closest ro Italian pizza you can get in Jax. read more

I love V's Pizza, I really do, however each location is unique and this location in Mandarin always lets me down. My recent visit was for take out, so I am not commenting on service or ambiance. I am just commenting on the food, or more specifically ....pizza. Pepperoni Pizza - pepperoni was good, but very lightly sauced and undercooked. Margarita Pizza - cheese, fresh basil, toppings were on point. The pizza itself was undercooked and the spices you get at other locations were just not there. While the dining room is light and airy, there are very few outside lights so the exterior signage is easy to miss. So look for the red V when you are in the area. But with well lit places like Picasso's and Bella Vista nearby, you may want to consider other options. read more

This was mine and my girlfriend's first time trying V Pizza and it did not disappoint. From discovering it on TikTok and deciding to give it a shot, it exceeded expectations. The staff were very friendly and helpful with phenomenal suggestions. The margherita pizza was absolutely phenomenal. The V signature wings were absolute divine. The stromboli was also a great edition and flavorful. The atmosphere is very casual and family friendly. Definitely a spot where you can bring your friends and hang out or the family as they have a play area in the back. There's outside seating that's shaded. I will absolutely be back. Thank you to the staff for the service, experience and for making amazing food. read more

Not feeling the love that my fellow Yelpers are saying about V Pizza. Up in Jacksonville today hear nice things about V Pizza so was excited to try it since I was in JAX on San Jose Blvd. plus just saw the Facebook post and info about the weekly special- Ultimate Pie. Warmly welcomed when we arrived- very helpful staff as we reviewed their many options. Plenty of parking. Ordered a 10" lunch special- yep the "Ultimate Pie" with a couple of drinks and two house side salads. Side salads did not have much in the container - a couple of sliced cherry tomatoes and a small handful of greens. The salad and drink on my lunch special cost $1.25 & $2.20. Since we shared the pizza my wife was charged $6.50 for her salad and $2.50 for the drink. It's the least amount of salad I can remember getting anywhere. Pizza nice taste - good chew on the pizza dough maybe a bit overcooked. Interesting combination of ingredients. Just not feeling the love. It's a 3 read more

I LOVE V's pizza, the food is always amazing. This week as my first time seating outside and it was the best, we came here on a friend's playdate so our littles could run around while we got to hang out. It is fenced in and there are signs everywhere telling you to be safe. The seating area is covered and a clear shot to see the play area which is great. We arrived closer to when they opened so they were not very busy and the food came out quickly. The staff have always been friendly when I have been there. read more

I'm torn - The playground area and outdoor seating is a great option for families. Pizzas came out quickly. Pretty basic with little to no sauce. My pesto sandwich had minimal pesto and the chicken was tough. Wings they brought for first-timers were good and a great idea. Not sure if understaffed or disorganized with staffing but felt like a few people knew what was going on and the rest were just there. Would try again to see if it was an off time or the normal AND try different food options. read more

How does a popular restaurant known for their pizza decide to make a change that does not improve it? I was a regular customer because I thought they had the best pizza in JAX. I've been to several of their locations, and have told everyone that they have the best pizza. Then one day, not knowing they changed it, I got pizza that tasted like Dominos pizza. That's fine if you like Dominos, but I do not, and didn't appreciate getting crappy take out quality pizza. Not sure who they are trying to please by changing a pizza that obviously everyone loved to a generic tasting pizza, but I will not be going back. read more

My wife was out of town and I wanted to treat myself to some pizza and wings. I knew they had a lot of taps so I decided I would sit a spell and try some while I waited for my food. I tried two sets of four, flights. I wanted to taste the beer and not get smashed. I'm glad they offer flights as I was able to limit my consumption but get a little taste. I didn't get a picture of the pizza, but I've attached the wings and one of the flights. As usual, the wings were awesome and so was the pizza. This place never disappoints. read more

My recent visits to V Pizza Mandarin left much to be desired, despite their reputation for quality ingredients. On two separate occasions, I was met with disappointment as my pizzas arrived limp and sloppy, with the middle soaked through from the tomato sauce. The lack of crispness in the dough further detracted from the overall experience, leaving me feeling underwhelmed. Considering the hefty price tag of $50+ for two small pizzas and drinks, I expected much better quality. Unfortunately, the consistency of disappointment has led me to remove V Pizza Mandarin from my list of go-to eateries. It's a shame, as I had hoped for a more satisfying dining experience given their reputation. UPDATE: Thank you management for reaching out, I understand your Neapolitan style. The last two times were just awful, I've been coming to V for about 10 years. And your pizza has always been top notch till my last two visits. read more

Wow disappointed... sitting in the parking lot now at 8:10 waiting for our pizza to be ready that was supposed to be done by 7:49. I will definitely not order take out again. They need one associate to be manning the window and two cashiers when it's busy. read more
