I've been coming here since I was in elementary school. I love these guys!! They're super friendly and work fast.
Pizza is good – if you don't buy a drink sometimes they'll throw in a free cup of soda for you if you ask.
The prices are good… Best values are the chicken rolls. They are under $5 and stuffed with A LOT of chicken! Also, they have garlic knots 10 for $1.
I definitely suggest John & Joes! Best pizza in the area!
I've been coming to John and Joes so many years, I've lost count. They were always the greatest pizza in the Bronx for me. But for a long while, it's changed drastically.
Ordering from here now, I've come to accept its either hit or miss. First, I thought it's maybe whoever is making the pizza that night I called, maybe I got the same guy.. Then, I figured oh maybe it's 'cause they're busy so they are in rush. Then I just kinda realized, I need to stop defending John and Joes from all the friends who tel me it sucks now.
My review is based on my last three deliveries. The first one, I opened my pizza box to notice some type of small insect crawling in the corner of box. (see photo) –but it's John and joes, they refunded me, years spent with them, I still love them I thought.
My second delivery, I had to wait over an hour and a half before I called them and was told the delivery guy went to wrong address. All the way opposite my direction. I cancelled because my food was now cold.
Third delivery a week after second, about 4-5days ago, I tried again. Time and destination were good. The food, was a total miss.
We ordered garlic knots with sauce on side. Immediately, we noticed something wrong with sauce as soon as we pulled it out. It was watery, no flavor or spices. Tasted like straight out of can.
Was same on my pizza. I was very disappointed.
I'm sure I will go back 'cause I've been going there my whole life. I know I'll be more disappointed than happy each time but there's still that hope I hold on to. Just not for a while at this time ..
Had to run home for a day and stopped in at John and Joes for a slice. Goodness I love this place. Authentic NY style pizza. Thin crust, great sauce and real cheese – TRIFECTA! Friendly neighborhood place with the added bonus of having a clean eating area.
Best Pizza Spot in NYC.
2 large pies to go. The staff was extremely friendly and service was fast. They provide plates and all seasoning amenities without asking and they tie it all up in a nice bow. The plus: They gave us garlic knots on the HOUSE! They tasted great too.
BUT it's the pizza, that sauce is so unique, I've never had a sauce like it. You don't need ant condiments for this pizza, I swear. Just try it and let me know.
Can't wait to come back!
So I ordered a chicken parm hero from here for the first time and honestly I think it was the worst I've ever had, dry bland chicken, needless to say it landed in the trash. Still like the slices though 🙂
THE BEST PIZZA IN NYC – there i said it ….. and you can challenge me on this if you DARE!
the biggest slices combined with hefty portions of cheese & tomato sauce make this pizza not to be missed
John & Joe have run this place for 30+ years which adds to the great local vibe. any place that can be seen with multiple customers still walking in even at 1am asking for slices and pies, you know has to be GOOD!
Old school Yankee pictures and team pictures of all the local little league teams they have sponsored through out the years = a class act and a service to the community. Thank you!
local feel and a very neighborly vibe make this place not to be missed. dont forget the garlic knots & italian ices!
any visitor i have ever had visit me in NYC, i always made it a MUST to take them here to come sit down in one of their booths & grab a slice to fully experience what a TRUE authentic New York Pizza taste's like …. and it has never disappointed !
Do yourself a favor and stop by … A TRUE HIDDEN GEM of The BRONX !
Great old school Italian pizza! Huge slices, delicious crust. I'm so glad I found this gem in a random area. They offer a variety of other dishes that are great, but the pizza is a must-get.
Working In this neighborhood, I was in search of the best pizza slice. Seeing all the glowing reviews of this joint, I just had to try it.
When I first arrived, I noticed it looks very divey. I thought it was a great sign! There are iconic symptoms of this place's divey-ness including but not limited to, the little framed photos hung everywhere.
The slices are ok. I've actually had better slices elsewhere. Next time I work in this neighborhood, I'll drive a few more blocks to Napoli pizza which I think has the best original slices in this neighborhood.
The plain slices here actually remind me of Airways in East Elmhurst, Queens. What they have in common is many of their specialty slices are just toppings thrown on a plain slice.
The stuffed spinach slice is actually really good. But to me it tastes very greasy and decadent. My dad ordered it, said it looked like a "heart attack", and then asked if he could switch slices with me. Gee, thanks dad.
The seating area feels kind of gritty to me. Not quite literally but I feel like it could stand to be cleaner. Also, half the tables did not have any napkins in the dispensers.
Finally, while this is not the pizza joint's fault, all the parking meters on the block were either full or malfunctioning. They ate two quarters of mine without producing any pay tickets.
The slices here are ok, but I won't be coming back. From the great reviews, I had expected more and was a bit underwhelmed.
