I'm not a "yelper" but I just love their Chicago style stuffed pizza. I have been eating there for years and It's always great! If you haven't tried it, please do. Fabulous! Great, friendly and pleasant staff always welcoming.

Tortugas absolutely lives up to its reputation as a gorgeous small pizzeria with mouthwatering pizzas at a fair and reasonable price. All of their pizzas are made fresh, most of them being made right when you order. The staff were beyond friendly and always came out to inform me on the progress of my order. The thin-crust pizza slices I got were absolutely delicious and straight out of the oven. I was unable to get a Chicago style pizza while in the restaurant but I got one to-go and it was fantastic. I highly recommend Tortugas in Hoover for anyone looking for some absolutely amazing pizza

I finally had a chance to try Tortugas Pizza. Wow!! The deep dish we ordered was amazing. Tons of cheese and meat and the pie was cooked perfectly. I had a great conversation with Josh one of the managers. I can't believe this place has been in business for 24 years and I have been missing out on some phenomenal pizza. Definitely coming back really soon. Can't wait to bring my friends and family here. Cheers to 24 years in business and cranking out some phenomenal pies.

Tortugas Pizza is some of the best pizza I've ever eaten ! The red sauce not only delicious but to me unique. It's like an Italian Granny has been cooking this forever....and very consistently delicious. I was in a situation whereas I had to order this by delivery last night. I found this available through Instacart and appears to be teamed up with Uber on this delivery. Regardless, the delivery was as ordered and the food was still warm upon arrival from the Hoover HWY 150 location to Liberty Park. Now being a seasoned customer, it has been impossible for me to place an order from Tortugas without getting the stuffed pizza with red sauce. I prefer this stuffed pizza with garlic and Italian sausage. This order also had green bell peppers. I will continue to be a loyal customer and fan of Tortugas as long as they keep making delicious food. By the way, about 8 years ago...crazy circumstances left me with 3 whole loafs of that incredible Leidenheimer French Bread that's served in all the great restaurants in New Orleans. I had an employee get me 3 loafs of this bread from Publix in Gulf Shores. The loafs are at least 36" long. I was leaving work after 5pm and carried a couple loafs of this wonderful Leidenheimer bread to Tortugas downtown to the location near Good People Brewery and gave the owner a loaf if his use, if he used one to make 3 subs for me to go. He did and those subs too were incredible. I wish Leidenheimer bread was available in our location. The only place I've found it is when ordering PO Boys from THE ROUGAROUX Cajun joint in Avondale.

I was very pleased with Tortugas! The pizza pie was delicious! My father is from Chicago & was ecstatic to have authentic pie so close to his new home. The service was amazing, the waitress & owner were very nice. The ambiance is very cozy & feels like you're hanging out at a friend's house. We will definitely be back!

Pizza is my favorite food. It's also the one thing this Chicago girl doesn't order when out of town. However...I happen to be in AL and my brother said this place is Good. It hits the spot! It's cut just how I like at home...tavern style.
