Dont listen to the pathetic haters. They want yet another doomed to fail over priced hipster joint with crappy food and small portions as they pay extra money for their pretentious atmosphere. Happy joe's pizza is great as it is. Couple that with the prices for a giant pizza.
It was such a blast from the past! I hadn’t been here since I was a kid. So awesome that I can share this place with my kids. The pizza’s pretty darn good too!
I'll be honest, me 3 years ago would have never gone here, but now as a father, this place has exactly the vibe I need. It's like an 80s time capsule and in the best way possible. And to top it off, the pizza was solid. Try the Mexican or their house special.
We were here for a 6 year old's birthday party. It's small enough to where you can kind of just let the kids run off and still keep a decent eye on them. Beer on draft and fountain soda to keep everyone happy. We were doing pitchers.
Only about a dozen actual games. You can win tickets to trade in for a prize. Skeeball is one of them.
Big enough parking lot all around to handle all patrons.
This great, little pizza place has been one of our “go-to” places for pizza with the kids for years. The pizza is good. Try the taco pizza - it’s surprisingly delicious. While you wait for your pizza , head over to the video games. They have just the right amount of video games. Plus you can collect tickets to win prizes. The kids love it!
This is a fun place for the extended family to get together. While the kids play video games, the adults can bond over a pitcher of beer. 👍🏼
First time here, I can't believe I've missed out on this place for years now! They offer crusts that aren't just St. Louis style, yay! The pizza is supper tasty and the sauce isn't super acidic like a lot of places. The dough was soft and also flavorful. The toppings we're plentiful and they dice up a lot of the toppings which is great for kids but I also like the texture it gives and they were fresh. The dessert pizza we got was an apple crumble with huge slices of apple, the whole family loved it. Oh yeah, they also have all kinds of arcade games for the kids that give tickets to buy prizes, super fun for everyone!! The owner and staff were super friendly and I wish the owner many future decades of prosperity. We will be going back very soon.
I am 57 yrs old. I have been eating Happy Joe's since I was 9. I use to love to stand on the steps so I can watch them make the pizzas.. This is what I wanted to be when I grew up, a pizza maker. Till this very day they have the best pizza in town. They use to came in 2nd to Shakey's pizza that was located in St. Ann.(cornmeal is thier secret ingredients for for extra crispy pizza crust) Mary Fielding once interviewed me in 1993 on small mom and pop businesses. 🍕 🍕 🍕
I’m going 5 stars for the following reasons:
Despite being busy the staff was friendly.
They keep the restaurant clean. Even the games.
All of the games worked.
The pizza is surprisingly good and they don’t skimp toppings.
The prices are good.
Lastly, the bathroom was clean!!
We had a good time with the family and will be back.
I love Happy Joe’s Taco Pizza!! Make sure to try their hot sauce too!!
Then of course you can get some ice cream for dessert!! My favorite was the blueberry cheesecake ice cream cone!
Bring the kids because they got lots of games where they can collect tickets fir prizes!
Bring a designated driver because they serve alcohol!! Best of both worlds for kids & adults!!
Also check out their buffet if you want to try a little bit of everything! They have a salad bar for you people on diets!
This is the place the locals go as opposed to the major rodent-based competetor. My daughter loves the games because the give out lots of tickets, which makes kids think they really won something. The pizzas are actually good too. A plain pepperoni is enjoyable, but they are known for the mexican pizzas and sauce
Best taco pizza! BBQ was good as well. Super happy to see this local treasure still around and open especially during the Rona.
Consistently good. Go early to beat the crowd. Def check out the lunch buffet or hit it M-TH for dinner.
Only complaint is they listed peppermint as their ice cream flavor of the month and tried to tell me mint chocolate chip is the same thing. Um...no. They're completely different. Fix that nonsense.
Excellent pizza and lovely, homey atmosphere! Customer service was also great - all smiles. The "family night" special on Monday/Tuesday is also a great deal!
