Pizza Al's & Bar — Restaurant in Star City

Love the pizza but was very disappointed with the inconsistency of their policy regarding under 18 in bar area.

I recently visited Pizza Al’s Bar in Star City by the coliseum with my two-year-old grandchild, only to be asked to leave because of their “no one under 18” policy. While I respect the right of any establishment to enforce its rules, I was frustrated to see that there were at least six other children, roughly between the ages of 8 and 12, still in the bar. When I asked why the rule was being applied inconsistently, I was told that ownership didn’t want babies there because they cry.

To make matters worse, I was told I could go to the other side of the establishment. However, the whole reason I was there was to be with friends for a celebration, and I didn’t want to be ostracized. If the policy truly prohibits anyone under 18, then it should be enforced consistently—not selectively based on personal assumptions about how a child might behave.

This kind of arbitrary enforcement makes for an unwelcoming and unfair experience. Families should be aware that, despite the posted rules, enforcement appears to be based on the whims of management rather than any clear standard. I probably won’t...

I don't like giving poor reviews, I really don't, but this place earns it. Also, let me clarify this review is limited to the bar only. I've been here 4x now so what I'm about to say isn't a one off. The service is horrifically bad. Like, in the bottom 10% I've experienced. The problem is you can't get anyone to take an order. I haven't had a situation where they gave me the wrong thing or nothing at all, it's just that it takes forever to get to you. This seems to be even when fully staffed. Worst part is it appears the regulars get a little extra attention, which doesn't go unnoticed. Not a good way to grow your business. The food has been a mixed bag for me..the steak hoagie is good, not great, in my opinion. The Italian sausage and cheese handheld I had was terrible. It tasted like cardboard with a little marinara. The location is convenient for WVU sports, but that's about the only upside I...

Absolutely love this place. They have one side for people who have children or who don't want to be in a bar amd then the other side is a nice bar. It's very clean no matter which side you decide to sit down and eat. Their pizza is so good definitely recommend if you haven't already had their pizza. I'm not much on bars but I like this one. They play music from the 70s and 80s the music from when I was growing up. They have a nice parking lot and they are all so nice to their customers. They make you feel like they really want you there and to come back. Of course I've been eating their pizza since my boys were kids and they grew up eating this pizza now they bring their kids to...
