★★★★★ 5.0 Dana Marie · Feb 2026

Loved this place. Great food. Good vibe, Great drinks, was in town for work and this was the best place to unwind and enjoy dinner! Will def be back!

★★★★★ 5.0 John Benjamin · Feb 2026

I come to Jacksonville a few times a year on business and have heard about this place for several years, but could never align with their hours until last evening. Boy, was it ever worth the wait! Started with a delightful Manhattan (had two just to be certain), a wedge salad (cleaned the plate on that), and then the Calabrian pizza. And what an OUTSTANDING pizza it was (and I'm comparing with Frank Pepe in New Haven, CT). The Little Stove is most definitely worth going out of your way for and my only regret is that I don't have two stomachs so I could have eaten more.

Bellissima Piccola Stufa!! Pictures do not suffice! Chef Andrew makes amazing Neapolitan pizza! You can taste and see his passion for Italian cooking! Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was really nice! Jacksonville has quite a highlight in their town!

★★★★★ 5.0 Rachel Boone · Dec 2025

The Little Stove is absolutely worth the drive! Their pizza is incredible and the Caesar salad is hands-down one of the best I’ve had. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I happily drive two hours just to enjoy their food, and it never disappoints. If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and make the trip — you won’t regret it!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Lana Wallace · Jun 2025

My coworker and I were in town on business and decided to give The Little Stove a try. The food was absolutely delicious, and the charming atmosphere added to the appeal. However, the early closing time of 7 p.m. felt a bit restrictive. Around 6:30, the staff began playing loud music, which made it clear they were preparing to close up. Unfortunately, this created a less-than-welcoming vibe toward the end of our meal.
