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
Michael Shaw
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.
John-Paul Witt
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!
Beth Greco
Got my favorite 1/2 taco, 1/2 kraut & canadian bacon and as good as always! Keep this iconic restaurant in Affton.

If you DON'T like being around children or if you crave a quiet dining experience, Happy Joes is NOT for you, otherwise, bring the family for a night out.
Sheri Pate
Had a birthday party here for our mom for about 30 people. 10 pizzas were at our table before we knew it and tasted amazing! Everyone raved about the taco pizza and the buffalo chicken pizza. The kids had fun playing games and we were all able to talk comfortably. The staff was very nice throughout. Thanks for a nice evening!

I do love happy Joe's I have since I was a little kid. There taco pizza can not be beat no matter where you go and there regular just cheese or pepperoni can give any pizza hut or domino's a run for there money. My pizza's always prepared when they say but, one thing that almost made me give them 4 stars is it seems like they changed up there taco pizzas ingredients. I still loved so I still gave them a five and I usually don't dine in but, it's an amazing place to bring your kids and easily spend a couple hours the kids would love it.

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.
Katie Fink Barnard
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!

Grew up eating Happy Joes in Iowa. Taco pizza is to die for. Best pizza place around. Will always go back.
Taylor Marie Maldonado
Average food, wouldn't go there for it. It reminds me of a smaller chuckle cheese. The kids really like it though so that makes it worth it, and you can get beer so that's a win too.
Christine Abbott
Fun Times, pizza was hot and fresh! Monday and Tuesday they have family specials. We celebrated a 45 and 17 year old Birthday with ice cream and Happy Birthday sung by the staff. The person taking the order last night was accomadating for our party of 6. Salad bar was fresh and a lot of topping selections. We will totally go again.

Just had my son's 5th birthday here. I've never been until today and i was super impressed. It's clown was absolutely fantastic as soon as i arrived she told me to relax "she will take the kids to play games and keep them plenty occupied" . The buffalo chicken pizza was a hit with the adults. The best part was for how accommodating they were and how much food we received was looking at the bill to find that I spent only half of what i figured I would! We will be back :)
Patrick Sieben
Great food, great atmosphere & an impeccable staff.
Terri Bodine
It's a step back in time and a great family place. Nothing better than a Nacho Joe pizza.
Tracy Barton Willis
Pizza is good. Kids love the game room, but the guy taking orders couldn’t care less if you dine there and made the whole experience sour with his bad attitude. If you don’t want to answer questions about the menu, don’t work the register.
Heather Barksdale
It’s cute and very low key but we like it. Pizza is good, salad bar is fresh, beer is cold. Kids love the games, even though a few of them are always busted and they don’t have many to choose from to begin with. But the kids don’t seem to care and love to spend their tickets on plastic toys and candy. Ice cream scoops � only $1.
Julie Hageman
Great place & always great pizza!! My granddaughters love celebrating their Birthdays here!!
Pamela Stanley
Good family fun. Yummy pizza. Ice cream, too. A little on the pricy side, otherwise I would do 5 stars.
Melissa-Scott Smith
Excellent pizza and salad bar, great games for kids, and friendly staff and owner!
Amber Koehler
We moved to the St. Louis area 5 years ago from the Quad Cities and it’s definitely nice to have a little piece of home in STL. Taco pizza gives us that little piece of home.

My 7 year old grandson loves this place, and I like that it has games for children without being overrun by the noisy chaos you see at other party pizza places. My 15 year old likes it too, because the pizza is pretty darn good. All in all, a good family place to keep coming back to.
