Pros: Al's has some of the most reasonably priced pizza slices in town.
Cons: Sometimes the pizza sits in a warmer that isn't turned on causing the pizza to get cold.

Al's pizza is in a convenient location (you can actually get pizza there without searching for a parking space or having to walk across a street. While the pizza slices that are available in the warmer are usually cold the employees are more than willing to warm it up for you if you ask. The pizza is uaually both tasty and visually appealing. Often times I have walked in and purchased more than I planned because it looked so good. Al, the owner takes a hands on approach to running the business and is often present at the business making pizza and taking orders. This I believe only helps to ensure that each pizza is made the way Al would like it. Overall, Al's is the best pizza in town for an average price.

Pros: To my knowledge it is the only all you can eat breakfast buffet in St. Thomas
Cons: The service is a little different than most places.

Upon ariving at the restaurant I took a look at the buffet and decided that I would eat there. The breakfast buffet is only available on the weekend and is fairly small. It does, however, include many of the regular breakfast foods and some extras. When I sat down at a table it seemed as if I was invisable since many waitresses would pass me by without even looking at me. Finally I asked if I was sitting in the correct area for the buffet. The waitress told me that I was supposed to go to the counter, tell them I wanted to order the buffet and order my drinks. Once I ordered I continued to the buffet where everything I had tasted good and was the right temperature. I also found out that my 2 children ages 4 and 1 were free of charge with exception of drinks. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the buffet and do plan on going back again someday.
