We
visited
Carmines
Pizza
House
for
lunch
while
traveling
through
Jacksonville.
We
arrived
at
11:30
and
although
the
parking
in
front
of
the
restaurant
was
full,
we
had
no
problem
getting
a
booth
to
eat
at.
But
by
noon
the
place
was
full.
We
were
greeted
by
a
pleasant
gentleman
who
invited
us
to
sit
any
place
we
chose.
He
then
left
menus
with
us
and
we
perused
the
specialty
pizza
section
looking
for
something
"safe"
and
something
interesting.
The
safe
choice
was
the
Home
on
the
Range
pizza;
basically
a
"meat
lover's"
pizza.
The
interesting
choice
was
Da
Bomb.
It's
a
pizza
with
blue
cheese,
chicken,
and
jalapenos
with
a
drizzle
of
hot
sauce.
Both
pizzas
were
really
good.
The
crust
was
not
soggy
and
had
a
nice
crunch
when
biting
into
it.
The
Home
on
the
Range
was
meaty
deliciousness
on
a
tasty
tomato
sauce
and
Da
Bomb
was
aptly
named
for
its
spice.
I
shared
both
pizzas
with
my
granddaughter
and
she
picked
off
the
jalapenos
because
of
the
heat,
but
otherwise
loved
the
pizza.
The
taste
of
the
blue
cheese
is
quite
pronounced,
so
if
you
like
the
funky
taste
of
blue
cheese
mixed
with
the
heat
of
jalapenos,
you
will
enjoy
this
pizza.
My
wife
played
it
much
safer,
ordering
the
lunch
special:
two
slices
of
pizza
with
a
drink.
She
ordered
pepperoni
and
black
olives,
which
are
her
favorite
pizza
toppings.
The
lunch
special
is
a
good
deal
and
the
pizza
slices
are
pretty
big!
The
atmosphere
of
Carmines
Pie
House
is
cool.
There
are
lots
of
things
hanging
from
the
ceiling
or
tacked
to
the
wall,
quirky
things
you
might
find
in
an
antique
shop
or
on
the
side
of
the
road.
The
peculiar
decor
makes
dining
here
fun.
Our
food
server
was
very
friendly
and
attentive.
She
checked
on
our
table
several
times
after
bringing
our
pizza
to
see
if
we
needed
anything.
My
impression
is
that
the
people
at
Carmines
Pie
House
are
hard
working
and
enjoy
what
they
are
doing.
We
all
were
glad
that
we
stopped
by
Carmine
Pie
Shop
for
lunch.
It's
always
a
risk
trying
something
new,
but
this
time
is
paid
off.
