Uncle G's has the best pizza! Both the Detroit style and crispy pepperoni are equally amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Uncle G's Pizza in Hoover is the real deal, especially if you're after Detroit style — it's clearly what they're known for and it shows. I got the "Cool It Down" and the crust really stood out to me: even though it's baked pan-style, it comes out light and airy instead of heavy or greasy like a lot of Detroit-style pies can be. The ricotta with hot honey was a perfect balance — just the right amount of sweetness with a nice touch of heat that didn't overpower it. On top of the food, the staff was super friendly and genuinely helped me narrow down what to order. Will definitely be back!

Uncle G's is a favorite in our house! The food truck being located at Hop City adds a lot to the experience, as you can enjoy your food with a wide variety of drink options. We love supporting local business and this is one of the best places to do it. Would recommend!

The NY style pizza here is pretty good but the Detroit style is what they do best. You can't go wrong with either but the Detroit style was by far our favorite. The service was pretty fast and the food made to order. Not much seating available to dine in but most people just get it to go. Definitely worth checking out.

NY style Pizza was really good!
Matthew C. Riverchase
★★★★★
The pizza was delicious. We got the figgie and added bacon to it; we also got it as a pan pizza, though we would totally try the New York Style. It's a beautiful balance of sweet, salty, and savory with just a bit of freshness from the arugula. The breadsticks were also good.
Service was immaculate as the person who took our order was witty and patient despite the fact they had been there since 10 AM (we arrived at around 7:30). At some point they what to deal with someone over the phone; I don't know what that person's experience of them was, but from our end it sounded like they were saying everything right. The atmosphere was non-existent considering that it's basically takeout only, but there were pinball machines,m so that's automatically 4 stars.

My partner and I have eaten at the food truck several times now and the pizza (and service!!!) has been consistently great. We always get the cool it down (I love the NY style but he prefers the pan) with a couple of drinks at Hop City and it makes for a great night out! Easily some of the best pizza in Birmingham and we will continue to be regulars.

I previously had their pizza from their Hop City truck, and it was delicious. But this time, I got takeout from the Hoover location. It was also the first time I'd tried they NY-style thin crust. It was DIVINE. The crust has more flavor than any I've ever had. Truly the best thin crust flavor I've ever had. My husband loved his deep dish. The atmosphere took me back to my childhood days of dinners out at pizza places. A couple pinball machines, lots of canned/bottled drink options, takeout desserts and even frozen Break-up Cookie dough. Definitely plan to come enjoy a family pizza night sometime soon, but this is my go-to thin crust pizza choice now.

I'm not big on deep dish style pizza but after hearing so many people talk about this place I decided to give it a try. I ordered online and it was ready when I arrived, they put the sauce on the side and toppings for the fig pizza were on the side as well, I appreciated that because I was an hour from home. The staff member at the front who helped me was very friendly, not just to me but the other 2 people that came in as well. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and lots of options for beer or wine. The women's bathroom had little jars with things you may need as a women, that was a nice touch. My husband and I both loved this pizza, it was still amazing after getting it home and just as good the next day. The crust is flavorful and the perfect combination of crunch and softness. This is officially one of our favorite places for pizza in Alabama! And we widened in next time to enjoy a drink with our meal. We 100% recommend giving this place a try if you happen to be in the area, you won't be disappointed.

This is the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! I am a huge fan of Uncle G’s. We have moved back to Birmingham recently, and I am so happy that this has become a part of Birmingham. Andy at the Riverchase location does an amazing job, is always so nice and very helpful with customers. I always feel so welcomed because of Andy’s customer service—truly one of my favorite places to come!

Uncle G's Pizza is Awesome! A Must-Try in Hoover!
Uncle G's Pizza is truly awesome! The food is incredible, and the entire Hoover store is ridiculously clean—which I really appreciate.
They have great daily deals; a huge shout-out for the BOGO pizzas on Wednesdays! I ate my pizza too fast to snap a photo, but that cookie with the ice cream was an excellent way to finish.
A big bonus is that they make their own dough in-house, and you can see how clean and organized the preparation room is. I was most impressed by the restroom, which is a rare find in a casual Birmingham pizza spot. This place is clean, inviting, and serves great food.
I loved the mini arcade with the pinball machines, too. I will be back for sure!Ps if you all read these let's do a wine night special, you have all those bottles tempting me now push me over the edge with a deal.

I have not personally been into Uncle Gs, but I have ordered it many times for family and also at my corporate job. I am extremely impressed all around. The customer service is unmatched. Catering can be difficult to deal with for an office, but they made the process so easy and all of the food was wonderful even in bulk. Very impressed with this restaurant! The food tastes fresh, wonderful flavors, and large portions. The office is a huge fan! All the details were great, even down to the goodies they included with our very large order. Definitely will be going back!

This was by far the best pizzeria in this area. When you first walk in, you are greeted by staff, which is excellent! The menu is quite generous, and the seating area is well kept. You can watch the cook.Prepare your food which I enjoyed. I can tell the quality of the ingredients were quite high. I had their sixteen inch new york styled pizza with 4 toppings, the best topping was the pepperoni!! It was the most flavorful pepperoni I've ever tasted. Highly recommend.

Soooo I finally decided to stop by based on reviews and I love pizza and cheese mmmmmmmm. Not only was customer service through the roof, but the pizza was soooo delicious and flavorful I ended up getting 2 slices and left full. The joint was clean, very welcoming and a place to be with friends. I for sure will return to try the Detroit pizza with pineapples added🤪🤭💅🫶🍍

Came in for a rest after a big day at the Moss Rock art show. I got one of the Detroit deep dish style slices and one New York thin crust. Both were outstanding! They came with a small portion of sauce to dip-yum! The "half" salad was pretty big and very fresh and tasty. We took a slice of peanut butter pie with us when we left. (Also great!)
Our server was very helpful and kind and we'll definitely be back again.

Ordered take out. Got the Figgy and a Build your own. Both were delicious. My favorite thing: cold toppings on the side so they aren’t mush when you get home! I love it. The Figgy was excellent - the perfect amount of prosciutto and fig. Love the sweet bites from the fig. And the arugula, feta, and Balsamic glaze are the perfect complement to the fig and prosciutto.
Will definitely be back!

The best! Made to order so expect a small wait when it’s busy, totally 100% worth it! Cool it Down deep dish, add pepperoni and add a white sauce on the side, one of our go to’s! And the meatballs! So yummy in the sauce and adds protein to help me pretend it was healthy!

My partner and I love Uncle G’s! The pizza is made to order and always fresh, so I always tell my friends and family about it. The owner made a tiktok saying they need more business so don’t hesitate to try something new! It’s detroit style deep dish pizza, and the pepperoni they use is AMAZING. I’m a picky eater but I love this place. Support local businesses🤍 Wednesday nights are buy one whole pizza get one free!!! It’s so worth it for a date night or quick dinner after church if you’re religious! There’s arcade games as well to keep kids occupied🤭

Best pizza in bham! Detroit dough has the most amazing texture. Love the service and atmosphere at the Hoover location, and the food trucks do an excellent job covering other areas in Birmingham. Uncle G’s runs some pretty good promotions too. I love the classic pepperoni, love adding sausage to the Cool It Down for a killer white pie, and the Figgie is a culinary marvel!! Highly recommend from a 5+ year customer.

So we found this place by happenstance, I work at a local hospital and their food truck was there one day. I try it, and it is legit the best pizza I have had in the STATE.
I make a comment as such and they say they have a brick and mortar location. I make plans to go, of course.
Get with the wife and we head over there on a Thursday evening after work. What is this?! An all you can eat pizza buffet for a great price?! ABSOLUTELY!
Needless to say we have been back at least once or twice a month for what is still, in my humble opinion, the best pizza one can find in Alabama, let alone Birmingham.
Personal Recommendation: Cool it down and add pepperoni, you won't regret it!

Uncle G’s is my favorite pizza in Birmingham. They always use fresh ingredients and always try to give guests a great experience.

We’ve eaten at Uncle’s G’s Riverchase location and food trucks multiple times before, but our service this evening was exceptional. Our server, Andy, was very good with our kids. Andy let my son pick our table number, swapped it for the number he really wanted once it became available, and let us keep it at our table throughout the meal. When my son took it back after we were done, Andy gave him some stickers. Our service was prompt, food was excellent (as always). Looking forward to our next visit!

The Detroit style pizza is DIVINE. We love it- and can’t beat kids eat free on Saturday's- that way we can get our grown up hot honey pizza and the kids can get their plain Jane cheese and everyone is happy. The salad is also great.

My friend and I were the first in the building for their dinner buffet they have on Thursdays. We walked into an immaculately clean restaurant. They have a Pac-Man game and 3 pinball machines in the back corner, as well as a play area for kids. The employees were all smiling and helpful. They had a nice selection of pizzas to choose from too. What I appreciated the most was that for cleanliness from germs there was a buffet sneeze guard preventing you from just grabbing the pizza yourself. The employees got the pizza for you. As for the pizza quality the marinara sauce was chunky and outstanding. I could also tell they make their own pizza dough. I will definitely be coming back again!

Best pizza in Birmingham in my opinion! I’ve been a big fan of uncle G’s since the food truck days. I was there for the grand opening of the restaurant last year. Got the lunch combo today with one slice of the dal (meat lover’s), and I also tried the new pickle bacon ranch. It was phenomenal. I haven’t tried anything from here I don’t like. The NY style and the cinnamon rolls are good too. I don’t personally know Uncle G but doesn’t miss when it comes to making pizzas.

They ran out of an ingredient and Jack handled the issue w/ the best customer service! He also went above and beyond to take a photo for the birthday party.

Can’t believe I’ve been driving past this place for 6 months and this is my first time stopping in. Should have gone with my gut instinct the first time I saw it.
Been looking for a good Detroit style pizza in the area and Uncle G’s has probably the best one I’ve ever had. I feel like what makes this pizza great is the quality of the ingredients.
The pizza I got is called The Prince. It’s covered in meat and has a buttery crust. Note: The Detroit style pizzas take a little longer to cook but it’s worth the wait.
They will for sure see me again. Can’t wait to try the traditional round pizza too. As a first time customer the cashier was very patient and helpful as I was trying to figure out what I wanted.

We always loved picking up dinner when the food truck was nearby. Now that there's an actual physical location, we will be frequent patrons.

I just tried the new york style supreme pizza and house salad. You can really taste the quality ingredients and the passion that goes into making each pizza. Whether you’re a fan of classic flavors or something more adventurous, this place does it all flawlessly. The atmosphere is young and fun and Chase was such a great hostess.

The Detroit style pizza is amazing. You can add hot honey to give it a kick if desired. There is a wall of activities of babies and toddlers. For the older kids and adults there are pinball machines.

First time eating at the storefront location and loved it! It was clean, welcoming, and the staff was friendly. I loved that they have arcade games available plus wall-mounted toddler/kid toys in their own corner. They have amazing lunch specials they run M-F and it was a no-brainer to stop in for a slice and a drink for $7! Highly recommend for families, friend get togethers, work outings, or even just a solo lunch run! Uncle G’s is the best in the biz!

Great pizza at a good price, worth the wait! I saw the crew make a mistake with an order during my visit. The staff was very cordial despite the mishap and handled it with class and promptly corrected their error by making them fresh pizzas free of charge. This type of integrity has earned them a new customer.

Our family with 3 boys went tonight and loved it. The buffet was a fun throwback to Pizza Hut and Cicis. But the pizza is really killer and the staff puts the final touches on it before you get it. It's really perfect. The 3 year old had a fun place to play in the corner and the older kids liked the arcade games.
Just a great place to eat dinner. I highly recommend going to the brick and mortar store. 5 stars.

I should’ve taken pictures but it looked so good I had to dive right in. I got the Figgie NY style and hubs got the Prince NY style. The crust was a little softer than I expected but delicious. The figgy was so fresh tasting and the fig jam is delicious, albeit a little sweeter than I would typically eat. The Burratta was good also but the real treat was the Limincello Marscapone Cake soooo delicious. 🤌🏼🤌🏼

I visited the Hop City location, and was served the best GLUTEN FREE pizza I’ve ever had! When I say you couldn’t tell the bread was gluten free, I mean it had the same crunch, fluff and moisture as alternative breads. I can’t state how amazing this bread was, you’ll have to go try it your self.

After seeing this thing pop up advertising I decided I had to try it so we came here for a special day and it did not disappoint. They are known for their square deep dish and you can order each slice different. I tried four different slices and they were awesome. Now I cut these slices in half to share with other people. I also ordered th,,e cheese bread which was fabulous. The sauce was very tangy and actually had tomatoes inside.. the place was very clean and everything was fresh. So far this is the best pizza place I have been in Alabama. They even support local artists.

This is some of my favorite pizza in town! I am working my way through their flavors and have yet to have a dud. My favorites so far are the Dal and the Pepperoni. Service is quick, price is pretty reasonable (a whole pie easily feeds 2-3), and the location at Hop City is a perfect marriage. They are set up on an outdoor patio that's super nice when the weather isn't freezing, so it's a great spot for an after work bite (with a drink from inside). You should absolutely try this pizza! You'll be telling your friends about it in no time.

Guys, this place is an absolute gem and a must-try if you’re craving mouthwatering pizza! We brought a friend from Miami, and these superstars absolutely nailed it.
The pizza was perfectly crispy and delicious, and the team was incredibly friendly, warm, and professional. They’ve officially earned a spot in our Top 3 places in town. We loved their recommendations, and they even surprised our toddler with an extra treat. We’ll definitely be back soon. See you soon—¡Gracias y viva Argentina!

I order from Uncle Gs a few times a month when I’m grabbing a drink at Hop City. The thin crust pizzas are good, but the pan pizzas are incredible. Flavorful crust, the cheese blend they use is perfect, and the sauce is amazing (a lot of places cook the sauce down to a canned marinara consistency, this sauce has a cooked down flavor but still has chunks of tomato and a bright fresh flavor).

Don’t sleep on the All You Can Eat Thursdays! For less than the price of one pie, you can try all of them! My favorites are The Figgie (top L) and the Cool It Down (bottom L). And the Cinnamon Rolls!! 😋
All the pizza is incredible & the service is friendly. I’ll be back! 🍕

Uncle G’s leaves me weak in the knees! But seriously, the Cool It Down is one of the best pizzas and probably the first one of theirs that I tried and got me hooked . The slices and pies are generous and always piping hot. Between the truck and the Riverchase location, there are plenty of ways to try them out.

Uncle G’s has quickly become one of my very favorite meals in Birmingham. I’ve eaten it from the food trucks and door dash and finally the riverchase location yesterday and the quality is always so great. Not only is the pizza amazing and unlike any other pizza options in Birmingham, but their Riverchase location was spacious, clean, welcoming to my family with a crazy baby, and has a lot of toys to entertain kids, which really goes a long way with us. The pizza seems pricey, but the quality lives up to it plus they offer so many opportunities to get a deal, like BOGO Wednesday and Buffet Thursdays etc that you know they’re trying to meet customers where they’re at.

What a fantastic pizza place! I stopped by on Thursday during lunch for the pizza buffet (only Thursday) and had the opportunity to try some of the best pizza around. The combinations of toppings were definitely that of a pizza connoisseur thinking outside the box. The flavors coming from this pizza were simply amazing. Yes it's 18 bucks with a drink. But let's be real here. This it the highest quality restaurant pizza you will EVER get at a buffet. This is my new favorite pizza place.

Went on Monday to the Riverchase location to get Garlic Bread knots. Ended up also ordering a meat lovers Pizza since they were $14.99 on Mondays( I normally wait for buy one get one freedays cause I’m on a budget!). No matter food truck or store, food never disappoints. Employees were friendly and spoke when I came in which meant a lot.
I would suggest always getting a whole pizza instead of slices!

Uncle G's Pizza serves the best Detroit-style pizza I've ever had! The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of cheese that caramelizes along the edges. The sauce is rich and flavorful, and every topping is fresh and generously added. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the service is quick. If you're looking for authentic Detroit-style pizza, Uncle G's is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Dropped by on a Wednesday for a slice but there weren’t any left, but they did have a buy one get one pizza pan so ended up getting those. Got the margherita and the pepperoni. These are very good pizzas, it had good crispiness on the edges and chewy dough on the inside. The sauce and cheese were great, we particularly liked the small pepperoni slices that curved since they were cooked properly. Dining area was bright, airy and very nice, there were pinball machines and TVs. Restrooms were very clean too.

Uncle G’s Pizza one of my favorite places to get pizza! I remember when they served pizza in Pelham and before! The pizza has only gotten better!
We had half and half, Buffalo Bill and pepperoni! They were both good but it was my first time to have the Buffalo. It was soooo good!!
After 4pm I believe you can only get whole pies and not slices. But we did get half and half for this reason. If you use cash it has to be exact change.
Plenty of seating inside as well.
If you haven’t tried this pizza you must!

Attention all pizza lovers ‼️ if you are looking for the best pizza in Birmingham, this is the place to go!! The pizza gives off an authentic vibe, smell, and taste to it, their menu might be small but it sure does pack quite a punch.
Atmosphere: I legit thought this was a buffet at first, it looks strikingly similar to a Cici's pizza but more modern like and the colors don't pop as much here, it's just a regular old pizza place but it's big, huge, lots of seating and of course parking is accessible all around the restaurant.
Service: There was a very sweet young lady at the register, telling us what the most popular pizza was, I believe it was "The Prince" if I'm correct but it's equivalent to an all-meat pizza if you're into that, I asked if water was free and true enough, it was!!! Get your free water cup folks ‼️
Food: Now this will surely turn heads, but there is a menu with not a lot of items but they each have their own identity, their personality and each one will decide whether it might be your favorite or the absolute worst but who am I kidding? I got the "Cool It Down or Cool it Off" whatever it might be named, consists of mostly a cheesy texture, but it isn't all meat by any means, I'm a pizza lover too but that isn't the best pizza but maybe one of the worse ones, others are pretty self-explanatory, Cici's used to be here, why not try Uncle G's , thank you man! 😁👍 Also if you get a pan pizza on a Monday, you get an $8.00 discount!😃

5:30pm Pizza delivery via door dash
We had 4 adults and 5 kids ranging from 4-10 years old to feed. I ordered Uncle G’s because of the rating. I expected to pay roughly 50.00 - 60.00 for three pizzas, but honestly, I didn’t really know what size a “whole pie” was. When the delivery person showed up with three smallish boxes, I was suddenly worried that I didn’t order enough pizza. To my chagrin, it was PLENTY with some left over. The hubs initially balked at the cost, but then responded, “this is some damn good pizza”. I will save Uncle G’s in my favorites list for future visits. Personally, I don’t like to waste my calories on mediocre pizza, and this place is definitely worth it!

Amazing pizza. Been the best in the foodtruck world for years and now, BAM. We get a physical spot. So happy
They specialize in deep dish pizza, but they also do a killer thin crust called a Crispyboy.
Try the cool it down pizza. Not your traditional toppings, but amazing and unique.
The old school pepperoni is top in mybook. They use the small pepperoni and they curl up so nice.
Great service, clean restaurant. You won't be disappointed. The pizza is made to order so, it's not a walk in and it's waiting for you place. It's Worth the wait!!
If you save room for desert, the cinnamonrolls are the best you'll ever have. Huge and have about 2 cups of frosting. I maybe exaggerating, but, not much. Wow, they are great cause they are cooked in the pizza over. Crispy on the top and that makes all the difference.
Eat local, support your local folks. This isn't a huge chain, so don't expect to see them anywere else but bham. It's worth the trip.

We have been OG Uncle G’s fans since Uncle G himself wheeled ovens out under the tent at Old Time Pottery. We’ve followed them from Trimtab to Ghost Train so it was only natural that we get to their Brick and Mortar. We went on a Wednesday night when the special was BOGO! We were greeted by Andrew who was so friendly and very eager to help us with choices and share his favorite pizzas. We decided on our fav “The Dal” and also went for the “Cool It Down”. The atmosphere was great with good music and fun decor. We waited for our made to order pizza for about 15 minutes and then enjoyed in the restaurant. The Dal was cooked to perfection and we really enjoyed our first time with the Cool it down. The crust was crispy and the red sauce was perfect as always! The staff was so friendly during our whole visit. If you want quality pizza made by quality people owned by quality entrepreneurs then THIS is the place. Please go visit and support this small business!

I visited the restaurant about a month ago and had some of the best pizza I've ever experienced. The wait time was a bit long, but the pizza was delicious, fresh, and hot. I wasn't used to square pizza, but I loved it. I will definitely return to this restaurant to try new flavors

I have been a fan of Uncle G's food truck for a while now. Excitement could not be contained when I saw that they were opening a brick and mortar store. Uncle G's whenever I want it, without having to figure out if it's somewhere close by, yes, please. Nothing beats a hot fresh pie. Don't get me wrong, it travels well, but it's a completely different experience hot and fresh out of the oven. I will continue to experience the food truck, when it's nearby, but will rest comfortably knowing I can also swing by the store in Hoover.
Hot honey on a pizza, yes please, with ricotta and basil. Slam dunk.
Crispy boy? Can't go wrong.
Triple threat with The Prince, of course.
Don't sleep on the meatballs either. Sooo tender and great to share with some cheese bread.
Really you can't go wrong with anything. Check out the 'gram for specials (bogo pizzas, more to try and enjoy, because hey it's heats up well in a skillet or toaster oven).

I am OBSESSED with Uncle G's <3 the gluten free crust is THE BEST in bham, quality is consistent, and they stay showing up for Birmingham! The crust is incredible, my personal favorite pizza is the Margarita Pizza, the quality stays consistent so I know I'll never be disappointed with G's. Birmingham Area, you have GOT TO GET TO UNCLE G'S!!!

YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PIZZA!!! I've been a diehard Uncle G's fan since trying their pizza from their Ghost Train food truck, to say I was excited for the new restaurant would be an understatement. They've created a fun, casual, family friendly atmosphere and back it with the best slice in Bham. There are no words to describe how wonderful their gluten free pizzas are, they're just absolutely phenomenal in taste and texture. As someone who is not a particularly adventurous eater, I LOVE their margherita pizza on GF crust!! Taste and quality are always consistent, I know I can depend on Uncle G's when I need some reliable comfort food or when I feel like branching out. Staff have always been friendly and helpful, especially around dietary restrictions. A whole pie is much more food than you'll be anticipating, but you will eat every bite, and you definitely get your money's worth. Both the restaurant and the trucks can't be beat, you need to try it to revolutionize your idea of the Bham-Metro pizza scene!

My wife and I have been huge Uncle G's fans since the first truck opened and parked at old pottery on the regular. As they got more and more popular we grabbed them every chance we got over in Alabaster/Pelham! We were so excited to hear about the brick and mortay location opening and having that opportunity EVERY WEEK to grab some on the way home! We've had their pizza at least 4-5 times since opening and it's a choice well continue to make. The pizza is always crispy and loaded with toppings. To our little family of 3 (including our toddler), its the best pizza place in the Birmingham area!

My son Josiah and I enjoy Uncle Gs Detroit style after his baseball games ⚾️. Last time the team lost and my son was feeling down. I remembered my dad would take me to pizza hut after the ball game.

Come for the pizza, stay for the bathrooms!
Seriously, the cleanest and most complimentary bathroom experience in all of BHM. We love Uncle G’s - and try to hit the food truck whenever we can. We stopped in the storefront before a concert a few weeks ago and the food was delicious, service was great and the bathrooms were a little surprise luxury!
The new brick & mortar will be a great gathering place for birthdays and Friday nights! Cheers!

We love Uncle Gs pizza! We have been going out of our way to the food trucks just to get their pizza, so when they opened a brick and mortar not too far away from us we were very excited! It’s a higher price point but it’s worth it every time. We just ordered online and picked up in store so we didn’t sit in and eat. It’s very clean and casual inside, we just usually take our pizza home to eat, to watch a game or meet up with friends/family. I recommend Uncle Gs every chance I get!

Uncle G’s is better than your favorite Birmingham pizza joint. From their food trucks to their brick-and-mortar store, the quality and consistency stand up. The customer service is also fantastic so it’s really hard to knock them on anything. It’s a little pricey, but it’s worth it. If you like pizza, you’ll like Uncle G’s. They also have clean bathrooms so that’s a plus.

This is one of the best pizzas in bham. It’s thick and made with quality ingredients, flavor is always on point and they’re consistent. They take time and cost more because of the process and quality - but it’s worth it. We’ve been long time food truck customers and are excited to have the brick and mortar location open now as well! Do your research and understand what they offer and if you’re ready for a high end pie, this is your place!

They have created the perfect combination of flavor, density, and texture. I love the Cool It Down with Hot Honey. Our last visit on a Sunday afternoon was an excellent experience. Clean, quick and friendly service, and of course the Pizza hit the spot. This locally owned business has earned its loyal fanbase!

Best pizza in the southeast (at the very least) and it’s not even close. Uncle G’s never fails to hit the spot, whether that be for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So excited to have the brick & mortar location for more chances to grab a fire slice. The ingredients are always fresh and the variety of offerings for toppings always provides a unique experience.
On this occasion I came in for the lunch special, ordering the cool it down (my personal favorite) and the Margherita. The staff were friendly and the music selection great. And of course the pizza was amazing. 10/10 experience as always. Keep up the great work!

The pizza is amazing! Thick crust-crispy on the outside and soft inside. The Dal and Cool It Down are my favorites. I don’t like a lot of sauce, so the fact I can dip just the right amount is a game changer. Run don’t walk to get a slice or a whole pie…and don’t forget a cinnamon roll. Uncle G’s has a solid place on my restaurant rotation. Now go get ya some.

I’ve been to Detroit a few times, I’ve had the pizza, and Uncle Gs would fit in just fine up there. Sauce is awesome, pizza is really really good. It’s some of the best pizza you can get in the Birmingham area. My only gripe, and it’s a small one, is larger pizzas for larger parties. If they did that, that would be great. It’s not going to stop me from going, though.

Uncle G's is our favorite pizza! The gluten free crust is amazing!

We have been huge Uncle G’s fans for years and are so excited for the brick and mortar store.

As someone from Chicago, the pizza in Birmingham was generally disappointing until we found Uncle Gs. It’s the best! I also love how incredible the owners have been to work with to accommodate needs. The store is very kid friendly and has a play area, which we really appreciate.

My husband and I are thrilled to have Uncle G’s in the neighborhood. We used to live downtown, and we’d missed dropping in regularly for takeout at Ghost Train.

Uncle G's is definitely the best pizza in Birmingham and probably the world. The crust is buttery and thick with a perfect amount of cheese and toppings, and as a proud dipper I love that the sauce comes on the side. I've tried all of their pizzas and every one of them is great, but you can't beat the classic pepperoni (make sure to add hot honey!). Super high quality ingredients presented in an unpretentious style.
If I wasn't already married I'd be having Uncle G's at my wedding reception. If I ever have a kid Uncle G's will cater the baby shower. When I'm finally freed from this mortal coil Uncle G's will cater my funeral.
Until then, I'll be back weekly.

I've been holding onto this review for some time now and I can't wait for yall to check this one out.
Everyone knows how much I love pizza and how I'm always trying to find the best pizza. Uncle G's Pizza has been on my list for a long time and a few weeks ago I was finally able to hunt them down and try their Detroit style pizza for the first time.
I got four slices with 3 of them being Margarita, Pepperoni, and a Meatlovers.
I'll start with the Margarita pizza since this one was my least favorite. Don't get me wrong it was good just not to my liking. The reason for that was whenever I have had a Margarita pizza it was always basically a thinner crust pizza so the doughyness of it threw me off a bit but like I said was still good still very flavorful. 3/5
Next up the Pepperoni which was probably my favorite. I grabbed the sauce they give you to pour on top and like a Food Wars: character my shirt nearly came off. Everything here was perfectly balances from the amount of Pepperoni to the edge to edge cheese and the marinara sauce! 5/5
The meatlovers slice not much to say here it was great as well you got your sausage, bacon, Pepperoni what more could you ask for besides poring that marinara sauce on top and watching your eyes roll in the back of your head. 5/5
The 4th slice went to Tony and he loved it as well it was a meatlovers slice.
If you have not had Uncle G's Pizza before you need to check them out asap which it's their food truck or there new brick and mortar restaurant set to open up March 27 of 2024 in Hoover, AL!
Uncle G's is now in my top 10 favorite pizzas of all time and they get a solid 9.2/10 from me.
Honorable mention to the cinnamon rolls that they have. I forgot to mention it. 8/10

Birmingham’s Uncle G’s Pizza deserves every bit of its 5-star rating. My go-to order is the garlic bread with mushrooms, onions, and banana peppers and regardless of my pizza I always opt for the “well-done bake” for maximum crisp. Uncle G’s is always delicious and never disappoints (and I’m sure if I was EVER unhappy they’d make it right immediately). If you’re in Birmingham and love pizza, Uncle G’s is an ABSOLUTE MUST. It’s a gem that keeps me coming back for more.

Got it home and sooo good! Wife preferred cheese. I’d like to try the cool ricotta moz honey basil one next. Crust was perfect.It’s a trek for us but we’ll be back.

Uncle Gs is the best pizza in Birmingham. The staff is fantastic, the most random and eclectic group of people. They always play really unique music. THE PIZZA is out of this world. I ate at ghost train today! This is the best the pizza has ever tasted. The meatballs are amazing too!

Uncle G’s is the real deal! We used their order ahead option and picked it up and siluria brewery to enjoy it with some beers. I’ve never had Detroit style but I am a fan now. He had the cheese and it was so good!

This pizza was SO delicious! Our first time trying Detroit style pizza and it did not disappoint. We went with the Margherita, so not too many toppings to over power the delicious crust. Don't let the size of it deceive you; 1 pizza was enough for 2 of us when we were both very hungry after a long day of travel.

Uncle G's pizza is the best! I love when they come to Hoover, but also love to visit at TrimTab! Pepperoni with hot honey is a must.

If you have not visited them, please do yourself a favor and visit. The day I finally did, I had to come back (the same day within 2 hours)with others just to ensure I allowed them to take part in the goodness I experienced earlier. I didn't order agin for myself (even though I could have 😂) I literally just wanted to watch them eat and experience what I just ate. I am not too big of a pizza fan, but being from Detroit, I had to give them a chance and not give up on pizza in Alabama. This place does not disappoint. They gained 5 new customers/fans from 3 different households that day.

I love Detroit style pizza, and we don’t have any at home. While driving through Birmingham we decided to stop at Uncle G’s, and I’m so glad we did. Website was easy to use to pre order slices and confirm their location. Service was a little slow because of some dough issues, but worth it. I’m so glad we took the time to stop, and now this will be a destination for great pizza any time our route allows.

A biodegradable alternative to the styrofoam container, would make the great slices even better!

Pizza so good it's distracting. I find myself thinking about it throughout the work day. Got an Uncle G's pie where my mind should be.

Had to try out Uncle G’s since they’re the only ones doing Detroit Style in the area and they do it justice! Perfect crust and lacy, cheesy edge. Need to find a way to get it more often.

There are 3 things I will be forever chasing the high of...the magic of the scholastic book fair in elementary school, the Infinity War movie when Cap picks up the hammer and this incredible pizza. 👏

I grew up in the Detroit area eating this kind of pie at places like Niki's, and never thought I'd see a legit version here in Bama. This is legit. Go put their pizza in your face and thank me later.

As a mom of four grown sons, and many, many years of searching for the perfect pizza, I have eaten a lot of them!! A few were good, but not perfect...until we found Uncle G’s! The pepperoni with honey drizzle was worth the 150 mile round trip! Don’t change anything, it really is perfect!! We will be making regular road trips for the best pizza I’ve ever eaten!

Decided to try out Uncle G's after seeing them on Instagram. We placed an order for the cheese pizza and veggie pizza with sauce on the side. Driving 30 mins out to Pelham was totally worth it. The owner was super nice and and had our pizza ready right on time. The pizza was hardy and delicious. I particularly really enjoyed the crust, and the cheese was my favorite. The sauce was really flavorful too! The only downside which is expected with pizza was that it was just a little greasy, but still SO good. Also the pizza warms over well the next day which is always a plus. I look forward to our next trip to Uncle G's.
