The staff are so friendly and helpful....you will not he anything but happy and FULL! read more

Had previously had a decent experience but far from it this time! When we went in to order, we found it strange and unsanitary that the only menu for customers was on top of the trash bins counter for the restaurant. We ordered a Margherita pizza and garlic knots and they were not very good. I'm unsure as to what cheese they used but it was definitely not fresh mozzarella like the recipe calls for. The whole vibe was off tonight and between the workers bickering and them making me feel like an inconvenience just asking to pick up my pizza order I don't think I'll be back read more

This place came highly recommended and now we know why. Everything is made fresh and you can taste the goodness in each bite. The owners are so friendly and passionate we really enjoyed talking with them. Service was amazing. This is a place with a lot regulars as people coming in knew each others name. So you know it's the spot to go to. If you're thinking about getting the sausage, do not hesitate to. It's delicious and the sauce makes it even more amazing. There's several booths and tables to dine in. It's cozy and clean. You have to try it!!! read more

Food is always great and very authentic. I grew up in Italy and had trouble finding a decent place that could come close to the flavors. I've been going here for almost 2 years and had never failed so yep definitely a 5 star review read more

Stopped here based off of yelp's review and could not believe how phenomenal it was! Super cute inside, everyone was super friendly, they baked their own bread! I had chicken Parm, which was probably the best I've ever eaten, the pizza was incredible, garlic knots fantastic, highly highly highly recommend! read more

Your neighborhood is jealous for not being closer to Vito's! Such a great family owned place. Food is excellent and service is always family style! Pizza is outstanding! We love Vito's! read more

Pizza is slappin. Pepperoni roll is slappin. Slightly overpriced, very homey and family oriented with plenty of seating inside. Will return!

Pizza is excellent. You have several specialty pizzas to choose from for the pizza by the slice purchase other than cheese. Service is friendly and family oriented. Quaint restaurant with wall scenes of Sicily where the family returns to every summer. Come try it out! read more

Amazing food! Eating at this little neighborhood gem is like taking a trip to Sicily. It is authentic southern Italian cuisine at its finest! We order take out here often and their San Danielle pizza is the best pizza I've ever had, topped with arugula, prosciutto, 1/2 cherry tomatoes and shavings of Parmesan cheese- unreal! And my husband loves the Penne Vito's it's a pasta dish with mushrooms salami ground beef in a pink cream sauce, he raves about it! Tonight for my birthday, we decided to dine in, it's a cosy place, very clean with several booths and tables, they also do a major takeout business thats pretty much non stop. Tonight my husband had his favorite Penne Vito's, he loves it I ordered a new menu item Linguine with shrimp and clams OMG it was amazing!!! Perfectly cooked huge delicious shrimp and tiny sweet clams in an amazing fresh tomato garlic sauce with perfect al dente linguine, meals served with a fresh crisp salad and garlic bread, everything is delicious. But they have my absolute favorite salad anywhere it's their special salad and it's an antipasto with pickled vegetables and cheeses and it's amazing, so I can't go there without ordering it. Also a shout out to Jess for taking excellent care of us, she was very attentive to our needs and checked on us throughout the meal. I highly recommend this fantastic family owned authentic Italian restaurant. read more

Worst that I have ever had!!! My husband and I ate there about a year ago and it was amazing!! Today was horrible and the cost was unreal!!! We will never be back. They should go back to their cook, supplier or whatever they had then. We actually came home and threw out a whole pizza minus the two pieces we attempted to eat there. Worst ever!!!! No pizza taste whatsoever. read more

Finally gave this place a try and it was tasty. They had some indoor seating and they sell pieces of pizza by the slice. There was a stuffed pizza that looked super yummy, the worker said it is not always made so I am trying to go back to try that. The pepperoni pizza was tasty and the perfect thickness. I will be back! read more

Vito's is always a great option! Best pizzas in Jax and the pastas are amazing too. Love that it's family-run!

From Lori B __ I enjoyed Vito's Pizza and Restaurant very much. I got a white pizza with sausage on it. It was very good. There were good size pieces of sausage. My friend got a Sicilian and it looked so delicious. The staff were very friendly. I will definitely try this place again! read more

We've eaten at Vito's Pizza & Restaurant so many times over the years it feels like part of the rotation. They do a few things so well it almost makes you forgive anything else. Let me start with what really works: the lasagna. It's simply outstanding -- layers of pasta and meat, just the right cheese and sauce, warm and comforting. That one always delivers. The chicken parmigiana and their baked pasta dishes are also reliably excellent: hearty, flavorful, and made with care. When we want something baked and comforting, Vito's is where we go. Now, the pizza: it's good. You'll enjoy it, especially in a town with lots of average pies. But "good" isn't "spectacular." It doesn't always command "must come back for the pizza alone" status. Still, you'll eat it, enjoy it -- it just won't always steal the show when you're comparing it with their pasta. What sets Vito's apart is the family touch. It's a family-owned and operated place, and you feel it. The owners are warm, involved, and present. They'll chat with you, make you feel welcome, and there's a real sense of pride behind what they're doing. I've never walked out feeling overlooked or ignored -- that kind of consistency is rare. All told, Vito's is a comforting, no-pretenses Italian place that leans hard on its strengths -- baked pasta, lasagna, and homey execution. I'll always come back, not because it's flawless, but because it's genuine and satisfying. If you go, get the lasagna first -- you won't regret it. read more

Very very disappointed. We have been eating here for many years. Being raised in an Italian home this food is the closest to authentic. However we ordered stuff shells and eggplant Parmesan. The portions have dropped and we were missing a salad that comes with the meal also the garlic bread potion was smaller. The cheese in the shells was cool and not like it has been. Very sad that the quality has declined. read more

The best pizza around! I moved from New Jersey seven years ago and was on a mission to find decent pizza. After a year of searching, I found Vito's and hit the jackpot! Vito is from New York ( originally Sicily) and he's the real deal! This is a small family owned restaurant, nothing fancy but the food is amazing. You can even get pizza by the slice which is a rarity for this area. In December they celebrate Saint Lucy's Day by making "Arancini" but you should reserve your order in advance because they sell out quickly. It's a one day a year event that you wouldn't want to miss. read more

The portions are great! I tried the white pizza and it was so good. I love going there for their slices.

When you move from New York you're always searching to find your pizza and Italian food that tastes close to home. Just by looking at the garlic knots I could tell it had to be very close, the second I tried that and the grandma pizza....i was transported back home and in heaven. I can't even share pictures of the food because of how fast me and my boyfriend devoured it, this will now be my go to place. Very excited to try the rest of the menu, the man who made my pizza overheard and said he put extra love into it, and he definitely did. This place deserves all the good recognition it could possibly get. read more

The service and ambiance was great. We enjoyed the Sicilian slice and ground beef lazagna. The bread and garlic knots tasted really good. The lazagna was good too but a bit salty. We are rating 4/5 because the food and environment was good. read more

Finally tried Vitos and glad we did, started off with their garlic knots followed up with their pepperoni pizza and a grilled chicken wrap. The garlic knots were cooked perfectly, along with their pizza and chicken sandwich. The menu is pretty extensive. I can't wait to return and try some other dishes. read more

The boys and I decided to drop into this local Italian restaurant for our weekly pizza. We were waited on right away and sat in a booth near the door. A few other customers were dining in but it wasn't crowded or noisy for a small restaurant. I ordered a large pizza, half sausage and half pepperoni. It was tasty but I wish I would've inquired about the type of sausage as we prefer ground vs sliced. We'll stop in again soon! read more

I hope they will remain here in Jacksonville as long as there's a need to educate the people on what great Pizza & and other delicious original Italian cuisine is. It's always worth the wait and service. This isn't a hole in the wall . It's a Diamond in a City . Enjoy their great meticulously prepared food. read more

Met child hood friends from Brooklyn NY here ,and from the time you walk in ,you are welcomed. I heard they have pizza like in NY, when I seen the crust I said OH YES ...I enjoyed every bite. my friends and I laughed and just enjoyed ourselves here , no one rushed us ,our waitress was more than accommodating . It was my first time there and I said it will not be my last .. The woman behind the counter was from Bensonhurst ,look at that .. my New Yorkers .. Thank you read more

Delicious! Their calzones are amazing. Their pizzas are amazing. Sometimes the service has a little disconnect with listening and getting the right drinks or if you ask for Parmesan. But it is always rectified. I would 1000% recommend Vito's! read more

Great customer service, ordering over the phone was extremely easy, and the total time was reasonable for it being dinner time. Ordered the XL and it was (to me) a decent size for two people. Nothing crazy special about it. read more

Shoutout to a woman owned business!!! The people who worked there were extremely nice and efficient. After searching for through many pizza places near the beach, we stumbled across this own. It's about 20 minutes away from Neptune Beach, and pretty close to the highway. If you're looking for New York Style pizza, this isn't quite it. However, the pizza is delicious, thin, great crust, delicious cheese, and loaded with toppings! Definitely worth it to get the XL. The garlic knots were absolutely delicious. Marinara sauce was perfection. Knots were soft, chewy, and garlicky. I was a bit disappointed with the Caesar salad, I thought there would be shaved Parmesan cheese with it instead of powdered. read more

Vito's Pizza and Restaurant - Sicilian pizza - Pizza Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Really wanted to love this spot. FRIENDLY service Small family owned operation Great family atmosphere. Taking those items into consideration, there is a lot to love here. Really, feel free to take your kids, your grandmother and your neighbors and know that you would feel comfortable with the atmosphere. And there are restaurants to go to for atmosphere and there are some restaurants go to despite the atmosphere. Case in point, my wife loves a little ceviche restaurant that we would frequent (it is now closed). But before would would go in, she would ask me if I was carrying a weapon of some sort (club, knives, mace, joust lance, etc). I never got the feeling it was sketchy, but she loved the food so much, she would go despite the atmosphere. But I am getting off topic. Vito's pizza was not bad, it was just not as stellar as some other restaurants in the area like Divinci's or D and LP. I found it a bit gooey and I tend to like things more crisp. At the same time my broccoli in garlic sauce was just unsalted butter and garlic, so I am thinking someone left off the cheese or spices because it was very bland - sadly again it was not crisp. Okay, so you get the picture that I like things with a crunch. Not a bad choice at all and maybe I need to move through the menu a little bit. Great atmosphere, plenty of parking and very friendly service. read more

Ordered 2 manicotti entrees. What came with the order was garlic bread and a tossed salad. Now coming from up north where my grandparents moved to from their original home in Sicily on both sides. I grew up eating the best Italian food you could possibly have. Since moving here and relocating I found Olive Garden to be pretty good and Matthew's Italian cuisine the same, but when I tried this restaurant I believe we hit the jackpot! True authentic menu, foo like homemade and reasonable prices. I believe once you try Vitos you will agree. read more

Put the customer first. Went with 2 adults and 2 kids today and the restaurant's gas had not been refilled. Only pizza by the slice available. Understandable. However, waitress refused to charge 2 of the slices as kid' slice and charged all 4 as adult slices. We asked them to reconsider given that's all the choices they could serve the kids. Nope. But our gas and we didn't expect this to happen. Again understandable, but that doesn't prevent owner from making it right from his customers who put up with limited menu of pre-baked pizza slices. Good food; just don't know how to treat customers. read more
