Bala's Pizza

The girl at the counter was pleasant. What's nice they have a soda dispenser vs bottles and cans. The ficus is pizza, simple menu and prices are affordable . You can buy by the slice. Tasty and the crust is thin and can fold line NY pizza should fold .

Excellent pizza. Ordered for pickup twice and correct both times. Hot and tasty. Telephone exchange when ordering very polite. Easy access in/out along Racetrack Rd.No photos - ate it all quickly.

Driving from Tampa on a rainy Friday afternoon in late June to cat-sit for the weekend, we were starving when we arrived at our son's townhouse and hubs was craving a calzone. After I fed the cat, we dove into Yelp to find nearby take-out options. The reviews for Bala's swayed us so we headed there, although I did wait in the car with Gilligan (our pup).Hubs' craving resulted in him ordering two separate calzones. They were HUGE! And once I realized Bala's sells pizza by the slice, I told him to also get a slice of their cheese pizza for us to sample. OH MY GOODNESS. That was a glorious slice of 'za. It was so amazing that we returned the following evening for a whole pie. And I was delighted to find that pizza exactly as delicious again.Our son told us later that Bala's is their regular go-to for pizza. Great minds think alike! Service was friendly and certainly efficient for Friday & Saturday nights. While our calzones were fantastic, I'm going back for the pizza.

Finally find a great NY Style pizza joint (in addition to Carmines)! The type of pizza that has a crunch to it when you bite into it. So far my son and I have tried a cheese pizza with hot honey, a beef with buffalo sauce stromboli, cheese knots, and cannoli for dessert. Two cannoli's for $5.99 is a bargain!So far everything has tasted great and looking forward to trying the other stuff on the menu. Easy to use website for online ordering and friendly staff. I'll be going twice a week.

Bala's has changed my mind on pizza in Jax. I know - it's cliche to say the pizza here just isn't the same as NYC. A common complaint. However, Bala's comes pretty dang close! I ordered the meatball parmigiana pizza online and it said about 30 mins to be ready. I was there in 25 and they were ready for me! The pizza smelled delicious all the way home and it was still piping hot when I got it home and on my plate. First of all - the crust. Probably the closest you'll find to NY style crust here in Jax as far as I've tasted. The sauce - perfection. It tasted fresh and perfectly flavored. The meatballs - I'd like to know where they get them. I would buy just the meatballs alone to put in some sauce or just eat as an appetizer (or realistically a whole meal). The ricotta cheese was also fresh tasting and delish. The restaurant itself is in a cute little shopping center by my house. It is small with just a couple tables - typical pizza joint kind of place. The people are fantastic. Super nice. Might grab a couple slices and eat in for lunch in the near future. Definitely looking forward to trying their other pies - and interested in the Triple Threat. Seems like that would be a good party pizza.

Another 5 star day. As always. Got another Parma Rosa per daughter's request and we ate it at a nearby park. Absolutely delicious! These newer pics about about a hr old so the pizza does have more flop- however no flop when you get it fresh!

**A Delightful Revisit to Bala's Pizza**Returning to Bala's Pizza was a delightful experience. The cozy ambiance and welcoming staff set the tone for an enjoyable evening. The classic Margherita was as perfect as ever, with its fresh basil, creamy mozzarella, and tangy tomato sauce on a crispy yet chewy crust.New to my visit was the Triple Threat Pizza, and it was a game-changer. This pizza, loaded with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon, delivered an explosion of flavors. The meats were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of cheese and sauce to balance each bite.The homemade Tiramisu was a sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Bala's Pizza continues to impress with its quality, consistency, and exceptional flavors. If you haven't been, it's time to visit. If you have, it's worth another trip.

I liked the Bronx Bomber (though it did have a ton of grease getting the center soggy by the time I got it home). Grandma pizza is good too (got the all the meets version).Small place so primarily it's a carry-out.

I work at the eye clinic a couple of businesses over and let me tell you; Whether I have a good day or a bad one, I can count on delicious pizza to turn my day around. The pizza is delicious, fresh, and affordable. I love the staff and they are always kind and professional when I come in. Come on by and check them out!

Amazing pizza! The dough is delicious it make a beautiful crust. You can tell that the sauce is homemade and the they don't skim on the toppings. Definitely the best pizza in the area.
