Rodrigo's Craft Pizza

Love how close a delicious pizza place is! Since I came with Yelp we had a specialty pizza that was really delicious, with Bolognese on top, in a very interesting, new style. I haven't tried before. I am usually a meat lover or a white pizza person, but adding the meat on top of the white pizza was actually very delicious. My mom just got the classic Bianca pizza, and it was really good. I had a slice myself, and loved it. We also tried the fried risotto balls, which were really good, served with a side of marinara. The location is really cute, and everyone was so friendly inside. Glad this is so close to me because I'II definitely be back here again.

As someone with celiac disease, finding pizza this good—and genuinely safe—in Jacksonville is honestly life-changing. Rodrigo’s Craft Pizza is hands-down the best gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had, and I don’t say that lightly. My go-to order is the calzone, Margherita pizza, and burrata, and every single time it’s perfection. The dough is unreal (crispy, airy, and full of flavor—not that sad gluten-free substitute taste), the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the portions are so generous that I always have leftovers. What really says everything is that my non-gluten-free family eats here with me and genuinely loves it. They don’t feel like they’re “settling” for gluten-free at all—it’s just really amazing pizza that everyone can enjoy. The quality compared to the pricing is absolutely worth it—this is how pizza should be done. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and if you ever get the chance to talk to the owner, do it. He’s incredibly kind and passionate, and it clearly shows in every detail and every bite. If you’re gluten-free (or not!) and looking for thoughtfully made, authentic pizza in Jacksonville, this place is a must. Nothing else compares. 🙌🍕

Excellent service. I really appreciate the staff taking the time to explain the menu. Service was fast and the food was delicious. Our burrata appetizer was great. I enjoyed the burrata baked in pizza dough. We got a blanco pizza and margharita with pepperoni. Both were delicious! The sauce was flavorful and balanced, but the standout for me was the pizza dough/crust. Light and airy with a nice crisp on the bottom and it tasted wonderful. The outer portion of the crust had just the right amount of crisp with chewiness on the inside. All the ingredients tasted very fresh. I’m looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. Crafted flavor and presentation in a casual, easy going, clean environment. I can see why people rave about this place.

If you’re craving thoughtfully crafted pizza in Riverside, Rodrigo’s Craft Pizza at 1029 Park Street is the kind of place that reminds you why simple ingredients, handled with care, make all the difference. This family-owned gem has quickly become a local favorite, and it’s easy to see why. Their Neo-Neapolitan pies start with long-fermented dough that delivers that perfect balance—light, airy, slightly chewy with a beautifully blistered crust. The use of imported San Marzano tomatoes and top-tier ingredients shines through in every bite. Nothing feels rushed or ordinary here; everything feels intentional. We had the pleasure of attending a special event hosted by Gabi and owner/operator Alex, and hearing Chef Alex share the story behind the concept made the experience even more meaningful. What began as a passion project in a small NYC apartment during the pandemic has grown into a thriving Jacksonville pizzeria rooted in craft, heart, and community. That authenticity carries into the food. The space itself is inviting and spotless, with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. I especially enjoyed the walls lined with history and the open view behind the glass where you can watch the pizzas being made fresh. There’s something satisfying about seeing the craftsmanship firsthand, right down to the curated craft beverage station. The Little Blanca pizza was a standout—crust baked to perfection with generous, high-quality toppings. Even the gluten-free option held its own, proving that flavor and quality are never compromised here. And dessert? The tres leches cheesecake was unforgettable. Perfectly soaked, topped with airy meringue, pistachio crumbles, and a caramel drizzle that tied everything together beautifully. From arancini and burrata to fresh salads and house-made sauces, the menu offers plenty more to explore. It’s the kind of place you leave already planning your return. Perfectly situated in Five Points, Rodrigo’s is ideal whether you’re grabbing a casual slice, meeting friends for dinner, or lingering over a drink. A true neighborhood spot with big flavor and even bigger heart.

Rodrigo’s Craft Pizza is a win across the board. The space is clean, organized, and thoughtfully designed, with warm wood details and pizza boards on the walls that immediately set the tone—this place takes its craft seriously. The food absolutely delivers. The pizza and calzones are fresh, flavorful, and well-executed, with perfectly baked dough and quality ingredients. A standout is their gold burrata prosciutto calzone—burrata stuffed into the dough, finished with arugula and a balsamic glaze. Rich, balanced, and indulgent without being heavy. You can tell care goes into everything here, from presentation to taste. If you’re looking for artisan-style pizza and calzones done right, Rodrigo’s is worth the stop—and the repeat visit.

Delicious and freshly made pizza! Blanca Pizza as amazing the bolognese! Wings are fantastic and crispy! Get both the Garlic Aioli an House Buffalo for dipping!

Beyond their Neapolitan pizza—which is super authentic (beautifully charred, not overly gooey, and made with fresh ingredients)—I want to highlight their hidden gem: the Nutella and banana dessert pizza. It was genuinely mind-blowing. The airy crust is similar to their savory pizzas but more indulgent, topped with crunchy pistachios, Nutella, and banana slices. If you prefer it less sweet, ask for half the Nutella. Overall, the service is efficient, and there’s a cute, cozy seating area in the back.

Pizza here is always fresh in made to order with high-quality ingredients. The owner Alex is so kind and the service in atmosphere is always welcoming. Best pizza in Riverside.

One of the three pizza joints in the 5 points area and one the best in Jax. Service is always amazing! There is inside and outdoor sitting. Rodrigo and his family make you feel at home here. The pizza is excellent and the high quality ingredients reflect that. Come by and try out this local family friendly spot; it won't disappoint. I am a regular here.

We saw some feedback (and photos) of this pizza online and just had to try it. Wow - Rodrigo's did not disappoint!! We ordered a Caesar salad and a caprese. I really wasn't sure about the caprese when I ordered it. I'm not a huge fan of cherry tomatoes, but it was outstanding! The Caesar was really solid as well, but that caprese was a super star. We also ordered a Blanca pizza and a Georgie. The Blanca was also a show stopper and I think the caprese salad and Blanca have these 2 things in common that make them absolutely shine: the pistachio pesto is absolutely the best pesto I've ever had - ever. And the fresh mozzarella is absolutely divine. Sometimes fresh mozzarella is a bit rubbery and a bit bland. Maybe not enough salt? I don't know, but Rodrigo's fresh mozzarella is perfect. I will order the Blanca anytime I visit in the future. It's a perfect pizza. The Georgie was so fresh and delicious as well. We loved the fresh veggies on it. One caution: those jalapeños are the real deal. Remember: these pizzas are cooking in 5 mins. So it's not enough time to breakdown and dull out a spicy pepper. It bites, so beware!! We chatted with Rodrigo after we ate (you can watch all the magic happening in this place on your way to a cool little pocket bar in the back!), and he was amazing and gracious. His love of food and pride in delivering excellence is evident. We can't wait to go back and try more!!

Man this was so freaking good! The crust! That's all I have to say, the crust was incredible. It was so light and bouncy!? The shop is the old Crane Ramen, very comfortable to enjoy your pie. The calzone was delicious filled with a lemony ricotta and mozzarella cheese, perfect crust! The nutty mortadella pizza was also so good, had to get it cause of the uniqueness. It was light and heavenly! *Chefs Kiss*

Located in 5 Points with a good bit of inside and outdoors seating - there's more seating in the back of the restaurant. You order at the counter and seat yourself. I got the margarita with extra cheese. It was ready in 15 minutes. The portion size was large, since it's intended to be more of a personal pizza. My husband and I both thought the pizza was delicious! While we're not locals we visit Jacksonville often. We'll definitely be back!

Their calzone was the best calzone I ever had. Delicious cheese, perfect buns that were crispy but not burnt. I also got their seasonal Pom queen pizza and it did not disappoint. Once again their cheese is top notch and the pomegranate seeds added an interesting pop that was unique and delicious. I'm very glad I went here and I would wholeheartedly recommend that anyone passing through five points stop here too.

I ordered for the first time today.(Togo) The crust is great. It has great flavor, thin, chewy and perfectly cooked. I was expecting the Georgie to have more toppings and look much better based on the pictures I've seen including the one on the website. We also had a margharita. I decided to give them a try since I was in the area. I can't speak on the service or atmosphere because I didn't go inside, my son did. I'd try again another day. Maybe it's better when you dine in. The crust was my favorite part.

The pizza is fabulous!! Even the gluten free crust doesn't taste like it's GF! Friendly service and relaxed atmosphere.

Delicious pizza, layered with flavors and a crust I could eat all by itself. Also enjoy dipping the crust in the pesto on the Blanca, yum! Easy ordering on their app plus a Mother's Day coupon made this the perfect Friday pickup after work.

Rodrigo's! Their pizza is always delicious. We typically order one of their seasonal pizzas & try to save room for their divine panuozzo dessert. Love the team there & the ambiance too!

Best margarita pizza I've had in a long, long time! We rushed in with just about 20 minutes to eat before a lecture we had to attend, and hot pizza was on our table in under 10 minutes. And what a pizza! Most margaritas I've had were bland, not this one. There were herbs like basil and a grate of parm to finish it off. Crisp thin crust, like a good NYC pizza. Great presentation, too. We will be back! Thank you, Rodrigo!

Great pizza and salad. Everything we ordered, without exception, was as described on the menu board. The calzones, appetizers, and desserts were enticing but no more room on this trip. The staff was super kind and helpful. We were expecting much higher prices based upon the upscale (but cozy) atmosphere. Very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!

Great pizza! Fantastic combinations and service with a smile. Loved it. Thank you to all who posted reviews before my experience - will not disappoint.

Eating here on the patio this past Saturday night was a treat. I was greeted by the owner or head chef's cute little daughters, who also rang up my order at the front counter. So adorable. This family owned and operated business was so clean, so organized, had a welcoming aesthetic both on the inside and outside. I chose to eat on their patio and people watch since we were experiencing what north Florida likes to call "fake fall" for the night. It was so nice out. We ran into fellow foodie/yelp elite friends the first 5 mins we were on the patio. Already off to a great start! Sasha and her hubs were eating nearby in five points. To order, we got a Caesar salad to share, the Burrata di Oro, a Margarita pizza with fresh jalepenos added, and Georgie's pizza(sausage, peppers, onion, jalepeno) with a glass of wine and a beer. To my surprise, this establishment also serves Hyppo pops!!! One of my favorite local businesses in northeast Florida! Unfortunately they were out of hyppo pops for the evening, but I'm excited to go back and grab some next time. The flavor of the dough was impressive. The burrata is wrapped in a warm dough, with prosciutto roasted inside, all resting on a bed of arugula. So tasty. The ingredients were fresh, the service was hospitable, and the overall ambiance was a win. I wish I would have known about this place sooner so I could have stopped in months ago to try.

Boyfriend and I went here 20 minutes before they closed. Horribly inconsiderate, I know!! We felt so bad because we were running late but MAN the staff was so nice about it. There was one other couple there, and we told the staff that it was our first time here and asked if it would be too much trouble since it was a Friday night and I'm sure they've been working hard all week. Alex, the owner, said no problem and then gave us the whole spiel about Rodrigo's and their neopolitan style pizza (about a 5 minute explanation of their entire menu). I asked for his if I should get the mystic mushroom or the Bella, and Alex recommended the mushroom because he loves the richness of the truffle oil. I compromised not getting the Bella by getting the burrata, which is basically the Bella but rolled! Boyfriend got the nutty mortadella since it was the most unique one on the menu. Everything came out so fast and WOW we were impressed with it all. It was my first time having burrata and it was the perfect amount of cheesy and rich and flavorful. The arugula, balsamic, and cherry tomatoes helped to cut the richness too and made it so yummy!! The mystic mushroom was SO GOOD. I love mushroom pizza, and Alex was right about the truffle oil taking it to the next level. Boyfriend really liked the nutty mortadella one and said the pistachio really worked on the pizza. We both were so impressed by how light and crunchy and soft the crust was. Alex asked us how everything was while he was cleaning up the restaurant, and we told him we loved everything so much! He and the team were so hospitable, and the restaurant itself is so clean, inviting, and has an intimate and cozy feel. We ate somewhat quickly so as to not delay them being able to close up, but we will definitely be back!! Our new favorite pizza place / restaurant for sure. Thank you guys for such a great experience!!

Fast, friendly service! Clean and bright dining area. The pizza was good but not sure it was worth $20. The flavor wasn't anything outstanding, felt like it needed more garlic or seasoning to make the flavors stand out.

I am so happy I ventured out to 5 points on my lunch break and checked this place out. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I believe I spoke to the owner who explained all the different options to chose from. I prefer a basic cheese when I try a new place. If there cheese slice/pie is decent then everything else should be too. We'll this pie was the bomb. Light and crispy crust, great undercarriage, the sauce had the perfect balance between zesty and sweet and the cheese was very fresh. Overall a very pleasant experience. Will definitely go back. And quite honestly hands down best neopolitan pizza here in Jax.

I went up to Jacksonville last weekend to pay a visit to some old friends. Looking to celebrate our reunion; we decided to group up for lunch at the recently new Rodrigo's Craft Pizza spot in Riverside. Going in, there was a decent number of people sitting inside, but we were seated rather quickly. For lunch, we shared the following; 1x burrata di oro, 1x Blanca pie, and 1x Bella pie. Moving on with my review; the food was excellent. The appetizer burrata di oro came in an awesome baked bread shell with creamy burrata and prosciutto inside, drizzled with fresh balsamic glaze! The Blanca for a white pizza was very moist; packed nice punch of herb from basil, and chewy delicious crust! The Bella was loaded, yet it didn't feel overwhelming and packed with fresh flavor! Nice contrast of savory, sweetness, and acidity. Just note; this isn't your typical American pizzeria, but rather more like a traditional neopolitan type of joint. But nevertheless, the food was superb, and we'd definitely be returning here. My final verdict is a 5/5. Nicely done!

Ambiance - super modern and well decorated - felt personable. The restaurant was awkwardly quiet even with 10 other folks sitting and eating. Food - my pizza was so good and the closest thing to a pizza I had in Sicily. However, I think it could use a bit more flavor in the sauce. Service- nothing to rave home about. The staff was nice but not personable if that makes sense.

Visited last month, we ordered 2 pizzas, the Nutty Mortadella and the Spicy Harvest. We also shared the Burrata di Oro appetizer. The pizzas are each big enough to feed 2 people and have generous toppings. We really enjoyed both pizzas and the spicy harvest came with a delicious side of aoili They are on the thinner side so it's best to eat them quickly as this style of pizza tends to get a bit cold/soggy if it sits. The appetizer was also very yummy and a unique take on a burrata dish. I really enjoyed the warm pizza dough and the goat cheese. This is a cute and quiet weeknight date spot if anyone is looking to plan a date night soon.

Much needed update to five stars - in large part to the panuozzos, which are a unique item with huge flavor. I'd describe it as a crossover between a sandwich and a folded-over pizza slice, with sauce on the side to dip. The Sweet Love is outstanding. And the food here is across-the-board excellent.

At first I was skeptical of another pizza place in 5 points especially at the spot of former Crane Ramen which we liked. But I was pleasantly surprised by this place: solid pizza place that is better than Biggie's few doors down. You walk up to order and they give you a number that you place at your table. Then they bring the food out. Owner is very friendly although I was surprised he's not Italian. We ordered the margherita pizza which was good. Like pizza from Italy, they don't cut it into individual slices. Ask for anchovies in your Caesar salad. Tip: order the Aranciata drink which tastes like orange soda but is refreshing.

First off, super attentive staff who really knew the food. I got a pizza and absolutely loved it. Fresh produce and made to perfection. Not the largest selection in drinks but all the basics, and at reasonable prices. The restaurant itself was appealing..nice bright area, the decor well thought out and the vibe calm. Had a bit of an European feeling to it. Would definitely visit again! Oh, and they do takeout too

The pizza was so yummy that I completely forgot to take a picture of my Margherita pizza before I ate the whole thing, if that tells you anything. Everyone that works here is so nice and truly wants to give you the best time at their establishment. The pizzas are all amazing. The burrata? Delicious. The chicken wings were also super yummy. The Nutella pannuoto?? You MUST try it. 10/10. I'll be back soon :)

Y'all be sleeping on a great pizza joint that uses FRESH quality ingredients. Let's start with the warm hello and are you here for the first time query. Fabulous customer service as you get walked through the menu and discuss any food issues or allergies. I have food issues as does my husband though they are different. Also verbiage is no gluten which is refreshing. The crust on the gluten free is foldable and delicious. The texture is on point. It is cute decor with wooden pizza peels and books on the shelves. There is a cute patio and lounge area on the back. The place is so clean it would pass a Marine inspection. Please go support this great local place.

Horrible service . My husband and I decided to try this pizza which has high ratings , we got there 30 minutes before they close. We ordered our pizza to eat it there , a young man served us the pizza ins box to go and let us know and other customers that there was time to close and he was serving the pizza in a box . In other words he was kicking out . My husband asked him why was he putting the pizza in a box and if he wanted us to leave . He said he is not paid enough and they all had to be out at 9pm . So we took our pizza and left . Pizza can't taste good after you kick customers out . No trying this place again. You can't have a good product and bad service .

Wonderful experience at Rodrigo's Craft Pizza this past weekend. Rodrigo's features outdoor (dog friendly) seating along with great interior seating that consists of wood floors, grey wood tables, benches and black and white decor. It's a great mix of casual dining and elegance. There is a family vibe here as well. They greet you warmly and work the front and kitchen. The kitchen really serves as the centerpiece inside. Great chill music plays and fans circulate around which is a nice touch. Most of their food is made brick oven style, and it's done extremely well. The pizza is just as good if not better than any other brick oven pizza I've had, and it's at a reasonable price point. We started with the Burrata appetizer. It was soft, rich, sticky parmigiano cheese dough filled with Prosciutto and burrata cheese. This sat on greens with cherry tomatoes and a sweet balsamic drizzle. Just a perfect blend of flavors. Delicious. We also ordered the Blanca. This was a home run. Thin light crust, airy. Fantastic combination of garlic and oil. The garlic hits, it was the perfect amount. There was also some pesto sprinkled in. Truly decadent. The best white pizza I've had in any form. We also ordered the Bella which also featured their fantastic Prosciutto with greens and balsamic. Their balsamic is next level. Truly delightful. We waited too long to try this place but we'll be back...soon. I highly recommend this as a must do in Five Points.

Rodrigo's pizza is definitely a top contender for best pizzas I've ever had. Customer service was excellent, so: Austin. Razer thin crispy bread tasty sauce and the perfect amount of cheese. With a touch of hot honey, amazing. Killed the whole pie and it sat just right. Highly recommend visiting if your craving a delicious Napoleon pizza or just pizza in general!

The pizza was good but I did find it a little expensive for what you get. They have a bar area that was not open when we were there and a nice patio area between the buildings. The staff was very nice and the place was very clean.

They make their own crust and it is very good. They have specialty pizzas. We chose the Margarita and added pepperoni and sausage. A must have is the Burrata di Oro appetizer. A lot of cheese baked in pizza crust. How could it be wrong.

This may be the best pizza you will have in Jax. Made with so much heart and passion.

This was such a delicious and friendly pizza joint! The guy on the register gave us a breakdown of all the items on the menu, his favorite and a little bit about all. He was patient and so was the rest of the staff. We tried the classic Margherita and wow 10/10! The sauce, dough and cheese were harmonious together! There were about 3 other groups but it was still a good amount of noise. I will definitely be coming back!

Have a George's, the Burrata D'oro, and a couple alcoholic bevs! Good food! One complaint: it's kinda hot in there (one less star for this). But the people are very nice! We told the owner we had never been there and he went over the whole menu with us! What a guy!

This some of the best pizza that I've had in my entire life. The crust is so airy and delicious. The service is great!

Look at these gorgeous pizzas! Casual, comfortable atmosphere. Small family business with elegantly delicious pies

If you have not tried this place you have too!!! It's a great spot to eat outside or even inside. It's beautiful. The owner was so nice, very friendly and answered all the questions we had. I got the Blanca pizza, FANTASTIC. Not over cooked, or dry, perfect amount of toppings. My husband got a normal cheese pizza. And then an appetizer we got a Burrata Di Oro. I could have ate 10 of those. They were amazing, not dry, it was fresh and full of flavor!

Authentic Neapolitan style pizza at its best. Dessert was really good too. The fluffiness in the crust brought back Milan memories

Great little spot with a cool, hip vibe. The food was delicious! We shared a Blanco Pizza and Arugula salad. Perfect pairing for a lunch for 2.

Was okay. A little soggy. I could do without that much self service. Add a few more thoughts to post this review.

After reading a review on facebook about this restaurant we decided to try it and it did not disappoint. I especially enjoyed the burrata d'oro. It was extremely flavorful and fresh. We also had a delicious pizza in which my husband devoured.

WOW!!!! Nuff said. The pizza is awesome nothing like it in town. Great service, try the burrata app and the arancini are great too.

Excellent Pizza, Calzone. Will return for sure! Alex the owner was really nice. Best Pizza in the area for sure.

The food was outstanding! We had a classic Caesar salad, hot wings, and of course the amazing pizza. The dessert pizza was the perfect was the perfect way to end our meal. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you!

Ordered off of Uber Eats. Pizza wasn't bad but it was not great like I had hoped. The crust was paper thin not to mention very floppy and had no taste to it but at least it wasn't overcooked. I added extra cheese and pepperoni and you really couldn't tell it had extra cheese on there. The sauce did taste decent but overall the amount of substance did not match the price. Not bad but not great. No way this is the best pizza in Jax though.

This place is my new favorite pizza in town. I took my wife in a date here last night and I am going back for lunch today. We tried the chefs recommended Georgie's Pizza and the Buratta D'oro. Everything was outstanding. Whatever they do to that bread makes it about the greatest pizza crust I can remember tasting! Check out our photos!

Incredible pizza. We've needed this type of Pizza in Riverside for years. Rodrigo is nice as heck and knows how to make some serious dough. Will definitely keep coming back.

Trendy and comfortable little pizza shop at five corners. Delicious Caesar salad with homemade dressing that was stellar!! Pizza was great, high quality ingredients baked in a brick oven. Restaurant was narrow and long, so great outdoor spot was sort of hidden next to the bar area ", outdoor area looked comfortable a a nice spot to visit with friends and hang out. Restrooms really clean too. We will be back!

Walking in, the atmosphere was so inviting and beautiful. On top of that, we were greeted by the friendly smile. The food was amazing! I got the Blanco pizza and added toppings. We also got the Panna Cotta. Oh it was to die for. 10/10 experience. I will be going back

Traveling through the area, kids requested pizza so I turned to yelp and came across Rodrigo's! From the phone call to order to walking in to pick up our order the service was helpful and very friendly. We didn't stay to eat but from just walking in I would recommend eating there if time allows as the ambiance was crisp, clean and stylish! Pizza was a nice thin crust with good flavor.

Tried this place last Thursday and it was delicious. The wings were breaded and so good, the garlic aioli sauce was epic! The dough top notch !Can't wait to go back. So excited for this place! The place is very cute and they Even have a super cute patio area in the front and back. The staff is so nice and friendly!!!
