With candlelight, checkered tablecloths and arched doorways framed with tiny white lights, Davenport's Pizza Palace feels like a taste of old Italy in the heart of Birmingham. This family-friendly pizza parlor has been dishing out delicious pies to grateful Mountain Brook residents for over a generation. The kids are kept happy in a separate dining area stocked with video games and menus served on wooden pizza paddles, while adults focus on Davenport's casual atmosphere and delicious offerings. Many enjoy a simple cheese pizza with its thin and crispy New York-style crust, fresh mozzarella and special house marinara. But there are also plenty of toppings from which to build your own creation, including pepperoni, green peppers, onions, sausage, anchovies and mushrooms. For a little taste of each, try the Jim Special, a perfectly seasoned pizza with a little bit of everything. The prompt and friendly staff takes great pride in their excellent culinary skills, making dough and the secret marinara sauce from scratch daily.
