The Boot Pizzeria

What an engaging and fun experience at The Boot Pizzeria! I have the pleasure of attending Elisa’s presentation cooking classes—and it is a blast! From start to finish, the atmosphere is welcoming, the learning is exciting, and the food? Absolutely amazing. Fresh, flavorful, and full of heart. A must-try for food lovers looking to enjoy something beyond the ordinary!

My first time at The Boot was such a wonderful experience. The place has a warm and inviting vibe and everyone there, including the owner, was genuinely friendly and welcoming. The food was full of flavor, and the cocktail Dre made, the Dre tini, was absolutely outstanding easily one of the best I’ve had in a long time. I’m already looking forward to coming back with my family for another great visit.

I drive by this restaurant a lot and decided to give it a try given its very intriguing building architecture. Started off with the meat candy (pork belly) appetizer and it was absolutely worth every penny. Definitely get this if you come here! We also tried the calamari appetizer. It was good but a little over salted. For our entrees we had the baked rigatoni and the chicken Parmesan. Both were amazing and very filling portion sizes. The garlic bread was awesome. There was no wait upon arriving. We were seated immediately and experienced friendly and fast service. Definitely a must try in Huntsville.

Great food. Everything was fresh. The wings where crispy and the pizza was cooked great. Highly recommend the loaded potato pizza.

There’s isn’t a place to review the cooking classes so I’m reviewing here. We went based on seeing a Facebook event posted. It’s said $35 per then under it $59 per. We got to the class and it was $89 per. $178 for a couple to learn how to make homemade pasta was very high and it felt like the price hike was last minute. For $179 we could have bought piled of homemade pasta. I hope they make future Facebook event posting very clear on pricing, and make it more reasonable.

Talk about a hidden gem!!! Last night we had the pleasure of taking a cooking class at The Boot and when I tell you we were BLOWN AWAY! The food was not only delicious and fresh, but we learned so much. The atmosphere was wonderful, the food was incredible, and the service really was spectacular. We cannot wait to come back, in general, but are already working on booking another cooking class with friends! Thank you to everyone, at The Boot for making us feel like family!

It looks run down on the outside, but inside it’s a thriving little pizzeria! We enjoyed the food, environment, and staff. It made a nice date night and we saw some families there too. You should definitely give it a try.

im only leaving a one star because i have to. i’m not one to leave reviews, but this is the worst experience i’ve had at a restaurant in a very long time. We pass by here everyday and I thought why not give it a try. The pizza was completely black on the bottom. The crust was extremely thin. Our pizza its self was very nasty. We also ordered the rad deviled eggs and the filling tasted like straight heinz yellow mustard with a chewy piece of chicken on top. The wings were very chewy and flavorless. The service just didn’t seem genuine. Our server got very irritated when asked to change our sprite that was flat. Seating is very tight and uncomfortable with a very very quiet setting. We spent $70 and barely got to eat any of the food because of how poor the quality was. I really wish we could’ve enjoyed our food from here.

Have heard about this pizza spot since we moved to HSV, just haven't made it in. Hole in the wall kind of place. Inside feels musty and needs a revamp, low lighting and torn up booth seats. Food: two 16 inch pizzas Margherita Pizza - cheese, tomato sauce, basil oil Bottomless Pit pizza - pork belly, Tuscan chicken, cheese, green onion, prime rib, & cheddar. Wings (Medium) Mild sauced Drinks: Prosecco, beers, Pinot Noir Had leftovers sharing with four people!! All of the food came out at once. Waited around 25-30 minutes for the food. Cons: - out of a lot of ingredients peppers and Italian sausage - out of a lot of beer selections, bottles of wines, etc. need to update their menu - I LOVE dogs, but maybe not in a restaurant (lol). Pros: - Large menu with many pizza selections - lovely staff, friendly and family oriented - delicious pizzas, thin crust good ingredients - wings were crispy smoked and had a good flavor - large area for big parties Overall, yummy dinner with friends in what felt like an authentic Italian pizza restaurant. Enjoyed the family atmosphere and good eats. Cheers! I noticed the have cooking classes & trivia nights (if you're interested)

What a gem to find! I really wanted some tasty espresso during the mid-January exhausting late morning. I found myself indulging in trying somewhere I hadn't been before vs going to a coffee shop (as most folks would). What a delightful treat! While sipping on my espresso; I decided I wanted some light fare, so the Bruschetta Pomodoro did me well. After gabbing with the friendly bartender for a while and listening to him brag about their lemon pepper wings being the best in Huntsville, I had to try them out! I needed to check out the hype, (and I will not divulge their secret...that's there's to to tell)! I will say, that my rendezvous for some tasty espresso turned into bruschetta, wings & fries (with two orders to go), and the most amazing tiramisu for me to later indulge! From the friendliness of everyone there to the delight in the chef's preparation; it was truly an experience to take me away from reality! *Experience is key! Thank-you, The Boot Pizzeria!!! *DISCLAIMER: Please extend grace in any mixed grammar, lost words, or order of thought. (I'm still working with the challenges of post-chemo completed treatments!

You ever had a waiter so stoic that you were afraid to tell him everything was way too greasy and the pasta tasted absolutely rotten? Neither had I until visiting The Boot! Good riddance.

We had a large group for a birthday & I made reservations. Kristin was our waitress. She was attentive & great with the kids. The pizza was fantastic!!!! We got the prosciutto & arugula. Several people got the rocket city pizza & the sausage specialty pizza. I had a hard time taking pics bc everyone dove into their food. All the pizza can be made into a calzone. They have a HUGE booze list of beers, wines, & spirits. I'm so excited to go back. They have some really yummy looking martinis. I love that this is a family-owned business. They also offer Monday night cooking classes! The only drawback is that it's next to a weird motel & weird parking but that's not on them. Remember to support your local family-owned restaurants! They are our neighbors in our community :)

The chicken parm was out of this world good, and the servers were very nice and accommodating. The vibes were perfect for a cozy Italian meal as well. I will definitely come back!

Great service authentic Italian food. Bring your appetite. Lots of options the chicken parmigiana is delicious and the duck pizza WHAT!!!

When the Boot first opened I was optimistic about another locally owned restaurant in south Huntsville. Unfortunately, it's downright terrible. The service, the food, and the ambience are all just.... Bad. It's expensive but the quality is so cheap. The cheese especially just tastes like plastic, and the sauce I swear is just plain ketchup?! Not to mention you're waiting half an hour or more just for someone to notice you. Lastly... it's dirty. The tables are sticky. The bathrooms are gross. It's just plain bad. Save your money and go to, literally, anywhere else in town.

Great food. Good variety. Friendly service. Unique setting. Trivia night is always a good time

I'm new to the area. Everyone talked about The Boot puzz. They gave rave reviews so I had to try it. Last night my husband and I visited The Boot. Our waitress took our drink order which was slow but correct. We placed our order a 16 inch pepperoni pizza and 12 mild wings. Simple, right? Here's what we got: a 12 inch pizza and lemon pepper wings. When we reminded the waitress about the wings she then sent the chef to the table. I had to explain her mistake to him and in response he took the lemon pepper wongs-whivh was understandable. We then get 8 mild wings. I didn't even address the pizza because I was afraid they would take the pizza and give us 2 slices. Her issues was: she didn't write our order down like the other waitress. We will not be back and I expressed my thoughts on her receipt.

The better half brought me home casio cold cut sub/sandwiche from this so called pizzeria. When I opened the container I laughed.... what a disgrace to subhood (I didn't mention the fries yet). I could have made the same thing at home. No oil nor vinegar or spices... as you can see from the pictures it's a JOKE sub. The bread sucked too. Now the fries.... if Italians are this limp it explain why they're not ruling the free world. Greasy, cold, and SUCKED... I'll never go there nor order from there again. YOU SUCK... shut the business down.....

FANTASTIC!! We stopped in tonight, with a party of 12, and we were treated like family! The grilled meat selection (perfectly cooked and seasoned) and the fresh vegetables were AMAZING! It's always a lovely evening when we come to The Boot. They create such an intimate space, where you feel like you've known them your entire life, and the food is incredible! Additionally, we also love Love LOVE the cooking classes! Every single class has been an out-of-Huntsville experience that makes us feel like we are sitting in Rome, Italy!! Thank you for continually introducing us to savory and sweet Italian delights, and elevating our dining options.

Pizza is not good, cheese and crust was a weird texture. Sauce was watery. Other places in huntsville with much better pizza and italian food

Great food and service! The family and staff are amazing. On par with some of our best meals in Italy.

Stopped in for a bite and left full and satisfied. The food was GREAT. Met the owner and quickly made arrangements to come back for a cooking class. The Bar Tender was cool as well. Definitely on my list of great places to eat in Huntsville.

1st visit was great. pizza and Lasagna. P2nd time, not much! Pasta was Horrible! Three different pastas one worse than the other

We came for dinner on a Saturday evening. Friendly staff and attentive server. We had the Chicken Parm, the Rigatoni and house salads. The salads were fresh and ample portion. However, both entrees were very average and the pasta was watery. Both dishes are baked and not flavorful - the chicken did not appear to be the typical pounded breast and it came cut in strips. Perhaps we should have ordered the pizza.

Bland, watery, tomato soup sauce. brought family to eat some "authentic" italian pasta and sauce. Calamari appetizer was smaller than average, fair taste, but marinara was thinner and less appealing than Campbell's tomato soup. we enthusiastically elected NOT to keep the remainder to go with the entrees. In most all Italian restaurants people would not have any marinara left - and you would want to order an additional mug. son's chicken parm had scorched chicken and watery, off-tasting sauce. wife's rigatoni was not cooked even to aldente. my lasagna was bland but edible. Tiramisu was okay with a lot of hazelnut and espresso and what looked like fresh cream. not sure what is up with this place as it has been around for several years. I can't fathom anyone wanting a cooking class or referring to this as 'authentic Italian,' unless they only experienced 'italian-style' from a 1960's campbells soup semi-homemade cookbook. Service was good, but they got an order wrong despite not being busy. Crazy when you consider how much we want independent restaurants to succeed and how much slack we cut them when they just try at the basics. But when you are not good at your ethnic cuisine focus, what is going on?!

Food was great!! Service was funny! Pleasant atmosphere! Gals' dinner night out! Fun group!!!

The perfect place to enjoy an authentic Italian meal. The food is outstanding and the bartender is friendly and wait staff very prompt and engaging. The eggplant Parmesan is amazing. If you are looking for a great experience they also offer cooking (mostly eating) classes which show you the Italian way.

Ordered takeout for the family and it was delicious! Portion size was perfect for 6 and the price was reasonable.

Food was delicious! I have had better pizza, but still I felt this was very good and would absolutely come back. The drinks were the star of the show. They are a great price and you will feel them! I enjoyed the quiet of the restaurant. It was not too busy when we arrived but as we were there longer it got busier. I like not being in an overcrowded eatery. The service was wonderful. I forget what the waiter's name was but he was great. We ordered the 12 in prime rib pizza (no mushrooms, no horseradish), 12 in margherita, and 12 in build your own pepperoni and ground sausage. I ate the prime rib and the margherita and both were great. The margherita was my fave. The third was my husbands which he said was just alright and he did not like the prime rib pizza. He said the drinks were the highlight for him. Overall, I was completely satisfied with the drinks (I got an Aperol spritz and a love on the riviera and my husband got a Sicilian emerald coast) and the food. Definitely worth the try and a very pleasant experience! Bathroom was clean enough too. I've seen worse and I'm not picky about a bathroom as long as there is toilet paper and soap. Lastly we ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it was delicious as well. We both enjoyed it!

Very first visit to The Boot, and I Loved it. The atmosphere, staff and owner were super sweet and friendly. The food was delicious, drinks made made by Dre " Dre tini " was the best I had in a long time!! Will be going back with the family!

The family meal is great for an easy dinner night and comes with plenty of food, chicken, Parmesan salad, and a breadstick.

The food has sharply declined over the years. Service has sharply decline over the years. Let's just say 4/5 times I said to self "one more chance." The only reason it got 5 chances was because I love Italian food.

I've owned an Italian restaurant for 40 years. I sold last year and came to Huntsville. I ordered a pizza today from The Boot, I must say it was the best pizza I have had since arriving here. The sauce, cheese and toppings were on point with an authentic Italian pizzeria. I was impressed and will no longer get pizza anywhere else. What a great and wonderful experience here in Huntsville. The Boot, if you haven't tried it you are missing out!

First, the service is outstanding. Melissa served us and she is a 5 star server. She is so patient and aware of the needs of her customers. I can't say enough good things about her. The food is average, nothing to brag about. I had the meat lovers pizza and there wasn't a lot of meat. It looked more like a cheese pizza. My wife had the lasagna and it wasn't edible. It was really bad. So 5 stars for service and about 2 stars for food.

They get 4 stars instead of 5 because they are a bit slow preparing the food. Dre is an amazing person and the most awesome waiter! We can tell the difference when he is not there.

Food fabulous. Server Joey was great! Meat candy appetizer was a nice start. Joey's flight choices were grand. The pizza was delish. The fried eggplant made the pizza! Go visit..and tell Joey Tracy sent you :-).

Its pretty good. Could use an uplift. Good food. Cold beer. Live music sometimes. Ask for Trent.

Have to say that some one recommended me to this place. Said it was the best in the state. From a Italian woman I believed them. When I came in I was welcomed in. Service was good from the start. Service was great to the end. It was the food that left a bad taste in my mouth. I ordered The chicken Parmesan. When it came out the noodles and sauce were cold. The chicken tasted old and frozen. When asked how was it I had to say something. He was happy to send it back and try again. Took more time then I wanted for lunch. When I got it back I could tell the chicken was reused as it had the same taste. The noodles and sauce was hot this time I finally got to taste that. Problem was it looks like they used Chef Boyardee for the sauce and the noodles. After taking a few bites I was right. No flavor and definitely not Italian. Were was the seasoning here? I just can't understand service was great but the food was not worth the price. Thought I found a good place but this first experience was not worth me giving it a 2nd chance.

Love the Boot's wings ... best in town and they offer a wide variety of flavors. They have the best homemade fries. Their pizzas are great too! Tried their Cuban pizza and it was awesome. They also have great homemade mozzarella. Check them out!

I am confused by the 1 star reviews. Maybe it's people who have never eaten ACTUAL Italian food. We love this place. We live about two hours away and look forward to any chance to eat at The Boot. I am always amazed by how delicious the food is. They have unique pizza flavors which have never disappointed. We've had the pizzas and the pasta dishes. Don't be put off by the building; it's an old motor court. It is clean and authentically Italian. Highly recommend.

I'd heard some pretty good things about Boot from people I trust so I gave it a shot this evening. The atmosphere of this place on a Saturday night was great. The ambiance was casual, there was great live music and plenty of TVs so I was able to turn one to the Cavs/Raptors game. There's a seating area by the bar that's a little removed from everything else. I liked that but wasn't excited about the high seating. It didn't look too busy tonight but it took a few minutes to be seated. The hostess apologized for the wait. The bartender, Trent, was our waiter. It was basically just him tending bar and taking care of the patio and our area. He was very pleasant but it took him a long while to give us attention throughout the night, I'm sure because it was just him back there. I understood, but it did make the evening drag on. The bruschetta appetizer was very good. The bread was warm but there were only 3 pieces on the plate. The salad in the middle of the plate was a nice touch, though a bit bland which was surprising. The bruschetta itself had a very nice flavor. We got two pizzas: marguerita (added diced tomato and spinach) and smoked salmon. They took f o r e v e r to get to our table (a couple that came in a while after us got their food several minutes before we got ours). So long, in fact, it was just luke warm when it got to us and the crust was too crunchy. I bet it had been sitting there for a while. I was disappointed in the texture and temperature of both pizzas. The smoked salmon was flavorful but not too in your face. The marguerita pizza was bland bland bland. I had to put salt and pepper and parm cheese on it in order to enjoy it. I was really excited about this place, particularly since they have unique pizza options like smoked salmon, smoked prime rib, and duck breast. But the actual pizza was a disappointment and not at all worth the high bill I got at the end.

Originally from New Jersey so this was a better that most. Great variety of food, pretty good crust Pizza one of the better ones in Huntsville

I went in once to try the pizza and I was hooked! Been there a couple time tried a couple items on the menu and wow! Everything was perfectly done. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Pizzas wasn't anything to write home about and the beer selection left a lot to be desired. Had plenty of th purdy boy stuff very little of the kind of beer men drink.

My sweet mom, and even sweeter, lovely niece and I enjoyed trying The Boot for the first time this past Saturday. The renovated 'motel style' exterior gave way to a surprisingly lovely appointed interior. We really enjoyed the décor. Marble bar, I think the interior columns were either marble or a cool texture, deep red walls, and an added bonus of a really nice patio, which I'd love to return to and enjoy a glass of wine! Cozy outdoor seating with, I believe ceiling fans, but this hot August day found us deciding to sit inside. There was one other couple in the restaurant around noon-ish. Our waiter, Alex, was sweet as pie and offered suggestions and kindly answered questions about the fare. The menu is fairly extensive, beer taps seem to run for miles and the wine/adult beverage list was really solid! We decided to share and taste the following: Chicken Piccatta Salad; Eggplant Parmigiano appetizer, the "pasta of the day" which was a beer infused thick stuffed-sausage noodle dish, with cheese and the small Philly Cheese Steak Pizza (16"). Tea and water were our bevs. Oddly the salad (my main dish) came out before the app, but Alex explained everything is prepared and cooked to order, so, OK, we were not in a hurry and were enjoying each other's company. It seemed like the rest of the food was oddly staggered, too, but again, not an issue on a lazy hot Saturday, with wonderful company to enjoy! The chicken piccatta salad was okay. I couldn't decide if the white meat chicken chunks were battered or not, it was almost reminiscent of a "General Tso" style chicken, only not hot. The dressing was really good and the dish really would benefit from a more robust share of capers. The greens, cucumbers and tomatoes were really fresh and good! The eggplant parmigiano was served in a nice sauce with a good quality/quantity cheese atop. I had trouble finding the eggplant. My niece really liked this dish. The Philly Cheese Steak Pizza was good. Authentic Italian style crust and authentic Italian in that there is little "pizza sauce" (if any) and the pie is not covered in cheese. The 'pasta of the day' was really flavorful and my niece's favorite of all the dishes. It was just a little rich for my tastes, but I try to eat low carb. The only suggestion I would offer the Boot is to consider the elderly, and those who *do* eat low carb and offer up some tapas, or smaller portions of the rich dishes. There are ~ 4 sizeable assisted living communities within the area (my sweet Mom living in one of the largest ones) and the elderly typically have smaller appetites. When we asked our waiter if dear Mom could order the kid's size lasagna (5.99) from the ~3 item kid's menu we were told "no." I thought this was a little unforgiving, for an 82 year old woman with a cane, but mom took it in stride and just tasted a little of this and that and we had tons of leftovers. It was happy hour (Nice surprise on a Sat!), which I think was 1-2 dollars off wines, and there appeared to be a bloody mary special, I think it was buy a bloody mary get a bread-based appetizer, but I was obviously not paying attention. Looking forward to going back and checking out the patio!

Stopped in for lunch today with my fiancee. We ordered a large eggplant parmigiana pizza. Took about 25 minutes before the pizza arrived at our table, first impression was not that good -- sparse eggplant topping on the pie. Well, maybe it tasted better than it looked ? No, not really. Our eggplant parmigiana pizza was very bland, flavorless. Had a very "floury taste" to it. Basically zero tomato sauce on this pizza (but maybe that is the way it was meant to be ?). Anyway, it was a disappointment. We did appreciate the nice atmosphere, and the service -- our waitress was friendly and attentive. But can't see coming back based on sup-par pizza we received. I realize this goes against the grain of most of the other reviews for The Boot Pizzeria, but that was our experience today. We also felt the menu was very limited, chicken parmigiana was not even an option. I also eyed a couple of dishes at the table near us --and what I noticed was very small portion sizes. Being from the Northeast, I'm use to generous portions from Italian restaurants. A weak 3 Star rating. And it's only 3 Stars instead of 2 Stars because of the service.

Robert F is right! We've been searching high/low for good pizza in HSV. This is by far the best in town. It absolutely is like NY or S Jersey pizza. Thx for the post. The three star average is wrong for this pizzeria. We had their special with smoked sausage and blue cheese. It was scrumptious. And, we found Rouge Brewery beer at Publix which is awesome brewery out of Newport, OR. Don't miss this pizzeria. It's legit.

The Boot has a homey laid back atmosphere. A great choice of in house pizzas with a varied menu to include great wings. And a wide variety of tap and bottled beers. I strongly suggest a visit to the boot for a fun evening out.

The service was incredibly slow. Seems that only one waitress was working the whole establishment during our visit. We ordered a 12" pizza for the two of us. Having been here many times we were excited to try a new pizza. We ordered a simple pepperoni pizza and it was terrible. Barely a crust or cheese. Albeit, diet friendly but a complete mess and waste of time and money. I also ordered a house salad and paid $4 for a bowl of lettuce and two cucumbers. Sadly disappointed and won't plan to return. The music was also very loud.

The waitress was awesome! The food was really good. Everything seems to be made from scratch. The pizza was my favorite. We tried the meatball sub and it was ok, the meatballs were all beef and hand rolled. Big plus! The sauce for the sandwich was not my favorite and we should have ordered more. We ordered a dessert that was like beignets with nutellla inside. Raspberry drizzled over the top. YUM . Overall a 5 star experience. It was good enough that we are retuning this weekend.

This place has not got the greatest ambiance as it is basically a restaurant in a low end motel, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. I've lived in South Jersey and had NY pizza, and the pizza served at The Boot approaches the best that I've had on the east coast. It's the best pizza in Huntsville, hands down. Great people, good food.

I order there for the first time, I was so impressed with the food, the spaghetti was awesome! It had a lot of meat sauce, it has the best taste, they served a lot of it, it was a three-meal course, the customer service was excellent, the Boot was clean inside and outside, it was a dramatic place to eat from, I did the take-out, I wasn't sorry about the services I got neither.

My wife and I decided to try something new for our 34th anniversary. We decided to eat dinner at The Boot with our daughter and son-in-law. It was the worst experience we ever had on an anniversary. I don't normally write bad reviews , but after waiting more than an hour to get my lousy, odd-tasting calzone brought to our table, 20-minutes after everyone else at the table was already finished eating, I feel like I should warn everyone away from this place. I also never got the beer that I ordered with my calzone. The other three at the table said that while our appetizers were decent, the main courses were bland. My wife actually returned her main course after finding a 2-inch piece of clear plastic in it! They should've apologized and comped all of our meals, but even after discounting my wife's meal for the "inconvenience" I was glad to pay the $90+ bill and escape that depressing dinner experience on what should've been a joyful night out. Don't go to this place!

Don't believe the hype! All of the 4 & 5 star reviews must be by family members or employees. The red sauce is similar to Chef Boyardee and probably comes straight out of a can. The cheese has to be the generic of the generic brand. Not to mention how overpriced it is. $55 for a large pizza, medium pizza and chicken parmigiana seems high! Service was awful and they don't seem to care. We will not be back! I don't recommend! Order Papa John's, it will be better and cost less.

...bartender slash server was very helpful..food was good and served hot and on time ..only complaint was the few flys around ..did not see there health inspection code when walking in ..but i went in with wishful thinking and they did not disappoint..very chill area if your looking for some peace and quite and decent food

I really enjoy coming to this restaurant. The name dubs it a pizzeria, but it offers a fine selection of liquor and a great tap selection for beer (something like 25 to 30 choices). I was shocked to see that they even have Chimay Blue on tap! They tend to offer some unique choices from AL, GA, TN, and even MS, and all of the beers are well chosen. This makes it an excellent place to go for a drink. In terms of food, I have always found the subs very tasty. The pizza is nice and thin like I used to eat back in New Jersey. I have always found the servers friendly, though this is a small operation, and they can get overwhelmed at times. (I try to come when they're not busy.) This is a really fine establishment, and I hope that it becomes a permanent fixture in Huntsville.

I'm so confused with this place. Great Italian atmosphere, however 2Pac is playing overhead. Love 2pac, but wanted a romantic atmosphere, not a night club. Food is nothing special and prices are high. The two bathroom stalls were a disaster .
