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.
UPDATE: Appreciate the response! For the record, one calm review describing a closed dining room and limited menu at 6pm isn’t exactly a wrecking ball, but I admire the confidence.
No hard feelings. We found dinner across the street, enjoyed some really good peach tea, plus indoor and outdoor seating, you minimized overhead, and the free market worked as expected. Best of luck going forward.
Uncle G’s has a pizza buffet available on Thursdays during set lunch and dinner time frames. They advertise it as having all of their Detroit style pizza as well as a couple of the NY style pizza. Also present would be rotating appetizers and cinnamon rolls and cookies.
The description above is kind of accurate, except for a few issues:
1) They seem to be short-handed, especially for a buffet. I saw 4 employees total manning the register and the back. So often there would be a huge line waiting either for pizza (as they serve it to you at the buffet, it’s not self-serve) or waiting to order.
2) Often, there is very little pizza available on the buffet when you hit the prime dinner time…and since buffet only runs for 3 hours at dinner time, it’s mostly prime time, ha. Instead of all the variety, only a couple would be available and you would have to wait for a variety you want to come out…..sometimes it never comes out. For example, for over an hour, a NY style pizza never came out….or at least not long enough for you to get a slice if you are not standing there waiting.
3) There does not seem to be a good warming mechanism for the pizza on the bar. So if you settle for an unpopular flavor that’s available on the bar because you don’t want to wait, that pizza is likely to be cold to lukewarm at best. The first 3 slices I got on my first run to the bar were cold. So…I have heard some people love cold pizzas, unfortunately I am not one of them with all that congealed cheese, cold sauce, and cold toppings. So after that I waited for new pizzas to come out…which means dinner took a very long time.
As far as the food itself. If you are able to catch the pizza hot, it’s actually pretty tasty. The cinnamon rolls are cold and hard, not at all good. The cookie is good for people that likes very soft centers. There are NO greens or salad of ANY KIND on the buffet! So nothing to balance out the huge carb intake, makes it a pretty unhealthy meal.
I did have some rather unpleasant customer service interactions on this visit that would make my visit a one-star experience….and greatly decreases the chance of me returning or bringing family/friends here in the future. However, after some consideration, the chance of the exact same situation happening to someone else is probably not terribly high, so the rating does not reflect that.
