Joe’s Pizza & Pasta

Pictures really does it no justice, and my waitress was absolutely amazing. I'm from Texas and prior to coming in I met a lot of not so nice an friendly folks. She was a breath of fresh air to say the least, the food was Amazing as well. Highly recommend coming here if you are within a 50 Mike radius.

I've been to a couple different locations and this one is my favorite. The waitress was busy, but handled it well. I'm so picky, but they went above and beyond to make sure our pizza was as good as it could be. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again and again. Thanks for making it great and serving it right. See you soon.

We wanted to like Joe's but the problem is the main ingredient in every single dish: sugar. Everything is so sweet. Spaghetti and lasagne should not taste like candy. It would have been really good if it wasn't so darn sweet. It just didn't taste right like Italian food should. Plus our calamari came out still slightly frozen. Our server was so nice, and I like the atmosphere a lot, but I don't think there's anything on the menu that can get us to return.

Stopped by Joe’s on a recent visit back home to see family. We were a party of eight and the staff quickly cleaned and pushed together tables on the main dining room. The other option would have been a private area in the back of the restaurant, which I’d recommend if you have a big party—and call in advance to reserve it! The little ones in our group were entertained with Joe’s Kid’s Menu coloring sheets. We started out with a delicious bruschetta appetizer that was covered in fresh tomatoes and great for sharing. The kids snacked on an 8” cheese pizza, served with stuff breadsticks. On to entrees. The pizza: we got deep dish. It was crispy on the outside and covered with gooey cheese and fresh tomato sauce. It’s A LOT of food, and you’ll be full by the second piece. Sandwiches. Also big portions. The Italian sausage was the standout—one of the best items we tried. The Italian beef was pretty standard. Juicy and flavored perfectly. Don’t be afraid to swap the fries with fried green beans! Pastas: cooked perfectly and covered with house made sauces, fettuccini or tomato. I loved the angel hair, it wasn’t too heavy and was far from bland. The service is quick and professional and the space is comfortable for a date night or a family affairs like ours.
