Catullo’s Italian owners open up Catullo’s Pizzeria in Downtown Jax
The well-known Southside restaurant established up shop in Downtown Jacksonville with a walk-up pizza kitchen at Toon Town, a cartoon avenue artwork-coated celebration venue.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla — Pizza fans, rejoice: 1 of Jacksonville’s finest-acclaimed Italian restaurants is now offering pizza at a Downtown Jacksonville walk-up kitchen.
Catullo’s Italian expanded its model to contain Catullo’s Pizzeria Thursday with a gentle opening, serving from a kitchen area window inside the Toon City event location off Talleyrand Avenue, situated at 1726 East Church St. Buyers can pick from several flavors of entire pies, slices or roll-ups.
Catullo’s, which started out as a food items truck just before opening its Southside brick-and-mortar spot in February 2019, is owned by brothers Carl and Dave Catullo. The new idea is presently working Monday by means of Friday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., but the hours are matter to modify, in accordance to an Instagram post.
“Even though we get the kinks out, it’s going to be stroll up only, the online purchasing method will not be turned on, so bear with us through these periods,” the pizzeria wrote on the publish announcing the delicate opening. “Slices, total pies, and roll ups will be readily available… See ya then!”
The menu is as colourful as the cartoon avenue artwork slathered over just about every inch of the walls of the function and tailgating venue. I was there for the tender opening and sampled the Woodsman, a large slice piled high with meats and veggies.
It had a crispy crust that was slim but not much too chewy. The Italian sausage was spicy and perfectly seasoned and the veggies complemented the meats for a best balance of flavors and textures.
I arrived as well late to sample one particular of the additional eclectic menu objects (which just assures I’ll be back again to attempt it out ASAP): “That Pear Dude.” The specialty pie is based mostly off Catullo Italian’s pear fiocchi pasta with a parmesan cream sauce base, Gorgonzola, fresh goat cheese, mozzarella, prosciutto, diced pears and completed with arugula and a drizzle of Mike’s Very hot Honey.
Finally, the pizza joint has ideas to insert wine and beer to its menu. You can abide by along with their journey on the pizzeria’s Instagram website page, @catullos_pizzeria.
