Joe and John’s Pizza Restaurant

I used to go here years ago for their Mussels marinara. Sauce if very tasty, BUT, just as before, 7 dead mussels in the batch. That’s what happened nearly a decade ago. Back then I called up… NOT to complain, but to tell the owner he may need a different mussels vendor. He proceeded to rail me. RAIL me over the phone. Couldn’t believe it. So he lost nearly 10 yrs of biz.
Well, this time I learned my lesson, I won’t call. I just find an alternate source lol. 2 orders of mussels, in 2 weeks, bot same crap as before. Nothings changed LOL

Great service but poor quality luncheon meats. There was hardened fat in the meat on the Italian it was almost like cartilage.

I love this place. Pizza always good. Went to lunch with mom and got hot veggie wrap. Wow. It was so good. Veggies cooked and seasoned great… fries ordered well done and they were. This place always has great food.

The family selected Joe and John’s and I nervously sat in the car reading the previous Unilocal reviews. Good news: my experience was better.
It wasn’t the most phenomenal pizza shop with an Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to, but it was solid in every aspect.
The service was friendly and accommodating. The dining room was cute; picture a mini «Venetian» backdrop.
I had the eggplant parm with a side of pasta with oil and garlic. The dish was prepared to standard and was enjoyable. It also came with a side salad. There wasn’t much in the salad so I’d probably give the soup a try next time. We also received fresh bread for the table.
As with many similar places, Joe and John’s is also BYOB.
Not gourmet and not a horrific experience. It’s a solid three.

I had the special with linguine, clams and shrimp today and it was fantastic. It was made to perfection along with the caprese tower for an appetizer and a piece of tiramisu for desert. With great service and a friendly staff, this restaurant is a must visit!

The staff that helped me were very friendly but $ 16.60 for the greasiest pizza I’ve ever had in my
entire life was a deal breaker. I won’t return.

Really liked the chicken wings so it got it 4 stars and the pizza isn’t great would give it a 1 if I could… everyone was nice but the waitess forgot to bring me a knife when I asked for one but instead went to the counter to talk about all this wisdom she has an 19 year old. haha but the wings are something I would go back for.

Random lication for lunch. DO NOT order the chicken salad wrap. The chicken was NOT cooked. I only ate the fries, I unfortunately had to send back the disgusting uncooked wrap.
I shared half a cheese steak with my fiancé. I had to add salt and pepper and ketchup so it would taste like something. The cooks obviously cannot cook.
I only recommend the fries.

As a customer of 30 plus years at Joe and John’s I’m horrified by my experience there today. We ordered 3 wraps and two slices of pizza for the kids. Two of the wraps were buffalo chicken and fairly decent. The third was a chicken parmesan wrap. It was disgusting to say the least. After 2 bites my mom couldn’t eat it. It was just covered in sauce with little cheese. It was so saucy that it was impossible to pick up after it sat a few minutes. When we brought it to the waitress’s attention she apologized but still left it on the bill. When it was questioned she got Andrew the owner. He was surly and rude. He said this was a restaurant not a place just to try things out. When we explained what was wrong with it he continued to argue with us and said it’s the way he liked it and he sold 4 today. I argued that it wasn’t his opinion that mattered it was the customer’s. He continued to argue. We paid for the lousy wrap and will not go back due to the rude and pompous owner.

I’m from Ottawa, Canada and family and I have been eating here for over 30 years and love it! There Philly Cheese steaks are awesome as is there pizza! I love their lasagna also. The prices are great value for all the food you get! The staff is very friendly and the service was excellent!

I never had a problem with this place. the food was ok and it was something to eat. well last night I ordered a medium pepperoni pizza, it came and didn’t taste bad. around 230am my stomach started feeling like crap. I had to jump out of bed and run to the bathroom. took some pepto and went back to bed. about an hour later I had to jump up again and run. after that I got some water and walked around the kitchen. I didn’t even get the water bottle open and I had to run to the bathroom again. this time sticking my head in the toilet. after that I laid back down, feeling like crap. got up again at 830 and had to hit the head again. I called my doctor and she said it could be a stomach virus. drink Gatorade and see how you feel tomorrow. so I asked the wife to go get some. I called my sister and she told me the same thing happened to her. so I figured, coincidence that we both got stomach virus in the same night or food poisoning from the pizza since we were the only two that ate it. I called the pizza place to advise them to check there ingrediants and was told. unless they get a few more complaints then my sister and me. they aren’t gonna do anything about it. I am in the food service industry and have been for years. 1 complaint about food born illness you take serious. this alone was enough to turn me off this place, the uncaring manner in which the manager spoke. so I will never go back to this place.

The food was solidly OK. We ordered pizza, subs, and some fries to go. The pizza was good but nothing fantastic. It was good enough to be alright but not something worth driving across town for.

Tried the buffalo chicken calzone, it was pretty spicy and good. Minestrone was a very typical one, some macaroni and veggies, it needed more herbs and spices, I was pouring pepper on it to make it more interesting. server was pretty polite and fast. I ate in the dining room where there is waiter service, but this place also does delivery and a lot of pick up at the counter orders. since «Italian» and pizza places are by far the most common type of eating establishment in NJ, I didn’t really see anything that made this place stand out from the crowd, it was OK.

What a load of crap this place is. They have a Wednesday special, 12 wings for $ 7. Not a bad deal, right? Well, boyfriend just called to order and was told by the very rude and unprofessional employee that it «depends on how they’re cooked. If they’re big wings, you get 10. If they’re small wings, you get 12. It’s whatever the cook decides to do» No, sorry, if you’re advertising 12 wings for $ 7, then it’s 12 wings for $ 7. Have you ever heard of such a thing?! Skip this place, since they clearly want to argue over the size and quantity of THEIR advertised special. There are way better places to get wings, where you won’t be treated like they’re doing YOU a favor.

When ever I visit friends in S Jersey we always get pizza’s from Joe & John’s. I haven’t had anything else there so I can’t comment on the rest of the menu. All I can say is I love their pizza! I travel from coast to coast and have had the best and worst, this is absolutlely one of my favorites!
