The place

V Pizza + Sidecar is a Neapolitan pizza restaurant and craft bar in the San Marco neighborhood of Jacksonville, located at 1406 Hendricks Ave. Pies are baked in a wood-fired oven imported from Naples, Italy, using imported 00 flour and San Marzano tomatoes. The attached Sidecar bar serves craft cocktails, draft beer, and wine. The restaurant offers dine-in, takeout, and delivery, with both indoor seating and an outdoor patio. It is dog-friendly on the patio and does not require reservations. V Pizza + Sidecar holds a 4.5-star rating on Google with more than 3,800 reviews. Free street parking is available on Hendricks Avenue and adjacent San Marco side streets.

Tucked into the historic San Marco district along Hendricks Avenue, V Pizza + Sidecar is one of Jacksonville's go-to neighborhood spots for authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. The kitchen runs a wood-fired oven shipped from Naples and uses Italian 00 flour, San Marzano tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella — the pies come out blistered, charred, and ready in about 90 seconds. The adjoining Sidecar bar gives the place a dual personality: a family-friendly pizza dining room on one side, a low-lit cocktail bar on the other.

The most-ordered items are the Margherita D.O.P., the spicy Sopressata Piccante with hot honey, the garlic knots, and the house meatballs. Salads, calzones, burrata, and Prosciutto e Funghi round out the menu, and the Sidecar pours craft cocktails, local drafts, and a tight wine list. Lunch specials and weekday happy hour pricing make it an easy weekday stop.

Reservations aren't required and walk-ins are the norm — expect a short wait on weekend evenings. The patio is dog-friendly and a popular spot during cooler months. Free street parking is available on Hendricks Avenue and adjacent San Marco side streets, with additional public lots a short walk away. Takeout and third-party delivery (Uber Eats, DoorDash) are both available.

Best Neapolitan pizza in Jacksonville — the crust has that perfect char from the wood-fired oven. Sopressata with hot honey is a must. Sidecar bar next door is a great spot for a drink before or after.

We come here almost every weekend. Margherita is exactly what it should be — simple, fresh, blistered crust. Staff is friendly and the patio is dog-friendly which we love.

Authentic Neapolitan pies served fast. Garlic knots are addictive and the meatballs are excellent. Cocktails at Sidecar are well made — try the namesake Sidecar.
