New York J&P Pizza

If you live within 30 min of this place and get your pizza or bolis anywhere else… Then you hate good pizza and bolis. Took me three years of living in Laurel and searching for decent pizza before I finally found J&P, which is a real shame.
Although we can’t get enough of that pizza, we do go to the restaurant from time to time. I think Pasta Plus probably has the edge on J&P for Italian dining, but we’ve never been disappointed here. Food is always good and comes in a timely fashion. Forget the name of it, but the chicken topped with crab in a tomato cream sauce is fantastic. I suspect they take a few shortcuts with some things not made fresh /​in-​house, but still great overall.
I think the worst thing I can say about J&P is that while their subs are great, being from a part of PA with fantastic sandwich shops, I’m used to more meat on a sub at those prices.

Great food, great staff, great for lunch and dinner. Pizza is perfect. Apps are very good as well. Chianti is very tasteful.

Bugs in my Manhattan and staff made jokes about it. I hope the health dept shuts them down. Will never step foot inside again.

I really enjoyed my meal at J & P’s. Our server (I wish I caught her name) was really wonderful, and my veggie pasta with meatballs in a rosé sauce was REALLY good. I love rosé sauce (mixing alfredo and marinara), but most places aren’t good at balancing the flavors. J & P’s nailed it! We’ve also gotten lasagna take-​out. their lasagna is GOOD. A nice, relaxing place for a family dinner.

Hate giving a 1star, but JandP is deserving of that rating. Chicken Parm came out with the chicken over done and rubbery. The spaghetti was dry and stiff. The chicken noodle soup, noodles under done and veggies were crunchy. There needs to be effort put in before you put something out.

Today was our first time eating J&P’s and we did carry out. We ordered their «famous» large garden salad, mozzarella sticks, and a large cheese and half pepperoni pizza.
The garden salad was the best part of the meal. However I would call it «famous.» We had the Italian dressing which was good.
The mozzarella sticks were not fully cooked (they were warm, but cheese not melted) and were definitely the frozen kind, not homemade.
The pizza we ordered (cheese and half pepperoni) came cheese and pepperoni; however, we expected a mess up on our order based on previous posts. The pizza was extremely salty and the bottom was burnt.
Needless to say, we won’t be eating here again.

Went there last week with a large group. We called and planned ahead for the dinner. Overall it was a poor experience. For the $ for the pizza, it is completely overpriced. Normally that wouldn’t be that bad as long as the service was great… well, it was terrible. The manager complained multiple times that we were too loud. They place is never packed and we brought a lot of business. The wait staff kept forgetting to bring our drinks and we had to re-​order.
Pizza wasn’t bad but like I said before, for the price it wasn’t good.
On the good note, if you can deal with higher prices, weak wait staff and a grumpy manager, they can host a large party. Just beware that they will complain the whole time.

Overall the food is just above average aside from the pizza which is good. All of the food and drink is over priced considering the location, atmosphere and quality.

Been here multiple times. Pizza is great but they’ve messed up our order several times. Every time we have called to remedy the situation the owner is incredibly hostile. He never apologizes and refuses to take charges off the card without us coming all the way back to the store. We’ve tried to brush that aside because of the good taste and convenience but it’s not worth the frustration of a poor owner with no customer service skills.

Good pizza but WAY too expensive. I’ve been here a few times for both food and pizza and it’s insanely overpriced. I’m not quite sure how they stay in business. I won’t be back.

First time customer and NOT impressed. Carry-​out order: Lg pizza, sausage and pep; fish filet sandwich w/​FF; 6 chicken tenders.
Pizza was so greasy I had to use a paper towel to blot it before eating. Yuk.
Fish sandwich was a disaster: A perfectly square frozen fish filet, slimy lettuce, way too much tarter sauce… all on a soggy bun. Stone cold frozen FF, no seasoning. No, thanks.
Chicken tenders were thin, obviously the frozen variety, tasteless, and came with no sauce. Sad.
Total price was $ 34 and change, after a $ 3 off coupon. This restaurant apparently has no interest in serving fresh, tasty, well-​seasoned food. Just bland, greasy, frozen and reheated garbage.
I won’t be back.

We came in a party of 7 very last minute (10pm), looking for a casual place to dine in with family on a Saturday night in the area. Honestly, I had very low expectations because 1) it would be late and people will probably rush us to get out by 11pm and 2) based on word of mouth, it didn’t seem like J&P Pizza had anything special about its menu. I’m glad I came by here!
(My personal experience) The server greeted us with a welcoming attitude and I never felt rushed throughout my sit-​in at all, even to the checkbook. She got our drinks down with 3 Samuel Adams, 2 Ginger Ales, and 1 water and food orders of:
–Leave it to Us Sub
–Spaghetti (not sure which)
–Meat Lovers Pizza
–Hawaiian Pizza
–Special Pizza
–Calzone
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to try everything but everyone seemed to enjoy the food for the most part. The Special Pizza was a bit salty and the Calzone is a straight up cheese overload. Apparently, the Meat Lovers’ was a favorite. Everything came out in a timely manner. We had Mozzarella Sticks and Calamari Friti as appetizers and I loved the Calamari Friti. I would go back just to get that!
The only thing that threw me off was reading their menu because it looked a little bit unorganized, so I didn’t even feel like reading through all of it. Maybe re-​categorizing or simplifying it will do the trick. Anyways, we obviously didn’t finish our late-​night dinner so we got everything boxed in its appropriate storage of pizza boxes and sized containers. Thank you J&P!

J&P has a Laurel address but I would consider to be Fulton, MD. It is just outside Fulton’s Maple Lawn area heading east on Scaggsville Rd. The restaurant is in a very small shopping plaza/​mini mall that also has a Subway, Dunkin Donuts, and Beer & Wine. I had stopped by the beer and wine store a couple of times on my way home from work and was excited to try this place.
J&P has a take out side where folks seemed to be in and out picking up pizzas and is attached to a large upscale looking restaurant with a nice bar. The inside of J&P is very nice. It is well lit, decorated in an Italian style, with ample comfortable seating. The servers were all friendly and smiled and welcomed me as I entered the restaurant. I creeped them out shortly after when I decided since there weren’t any pictures of the inside of the restaurant, I would take some. One of the concerned ladies asked me what I was doing and why I was taking pictures. I thought about messing with/​scaring her a bit, but realized she didn’t seem like the type that was joking about this so I didn’t.
I started with a cup of their lentil soup. When it came out, my first thought was how great it looked and hungry I was, but it had no flavor whatsoever. After I added salt it wasn’t too bad, and I had no problem finishing it. I ordered a Meatball Parmesan sub for my meal. When the sub arrived it looked perfect. Big meatballs, saucy, and smothered in melted cheese. It was also served with piping hot fries. Just like the soup, I was really let down by the lack of flavor. The meatballs had a good consistency but just didn’t taste like anything. They could have used some garlic, herbs, Parmesan, S&P,…something. The cheese on top was not Parmesan like description of the sandwich had me imagine but slice (not fresh) mozzarella instead. The sauce was not bad but just not enough to give you a ton of flavor on the big bland meatballs. The bread was very good. It was perfectly toasted on the edges and warm and soft on the inside. The fries had been pulled straight from the fryer and put on the plate and could see and taste no seasoning. I added salt and pepper to those as well.
Overall the place has a lot of potential and if the food was a little more seasoned it could be great. I would rate as follows.

Owner was friendly, however service was a little inattentive and the waitress seemed to be rushing us.
Baked ziti was solid, the sauce is more of a pink sauce versus marinara however. The garlic bread was seriously burnt but still edible. I believe the menu mentioned my entrée came with a side salad, never got that salad… Also I didn’t see really any options to get pasta with chicken or seafood, etc. My friends fries were cold.
Tiramisu definitely came out of a box but it was still decent.
$ 7.50 for rail gin and soda is pricey for Fulton standards.
In your in this area, it’s probably worth the drive to Pasta Plus instead.

We went here for lunch today and was very disappointed! Service was super slow and there weren’t many people in the restaurant. The food was terrible. I had chicken marsala and the noodles were way over cooked and the chicken and mushrooms had hardly any flavor. My husband ordered wings and fries and the wings were good but the fries weren’t. The couple we went with had cheese steak and the pasta combo. The cheese steak received good reviews but they put nacho cheese on the fries and he thought he was getting shredded cheese. The pasta combo was eatable but nothing to brag about.
I would never recommend this place to anyone but on the positive side, the place was clean and is a cute restaurant.

Awesome! We had a bit of all and my only thought is a little less pepperoni on the pizza would have been better.

Went here for the first time for lunch. Picked up lunch for two; Veal Cacciatore and Spaghetti Matriciana.
Veal was overcooked and very chewy and tough. The dish itself wasn’t too oily and the pasta was decent.
More to come after another visit.

The pizza and food are good, but this place is overpriced. This makes J&P far from our first choice when it comes time to order pizza.

Delicious pizza! The staff is very accommodating and friendly. We had the Hawaiian and if was delicious. Tasted like classic pineapple and Canadian bacon with a hint of basil. We ordered it to go and it was made in a timely fashion (not too quick, but definitely not too long). Going back for sure!

Here we go short and sweet being a kid who grew up in New Jersey I know italian food either restaurant or homemade. We were on our way home from myrtle beach when we needed to stop for one last meal before we got home. To my surprise this place was pretty good. My boyfriend and I shared a house salad and a steak stromboli. The stromboli was amazing! Steak was cooked perfectly with peppers, onions, mushrooms covered in mozzarella cheese and baked to a nice golden brown. Also served with marina sauce on the side.
