Pizza is excellent. Had the meat sauce , pepperoni, and plain cheese, all excellent. When I left I noticed an ice cream bar area . Next time I'm going to try a milkshake. They have staff to totally wipe down tables and booths in between customers ( very clean) . They brought up boxes for leftovers without even asking.
Had a pepperoni pizza today, loved the way the pepperoni cups, great Pizza. Yes I recommend to get
Pizza John's is definitely a vibe as far as nostalgic pizzeria feels go. The pizzas are clearly made with fresh ingredients, even made in-house I believe. The other food options that we have tried are really good! We've enjoyed their salads and fries, their spaghetti is even pretty good, which we are finding to be rarer than you'd think. All that being said, the pizza is kind of heavy and sometimes greasy, so it doesn't fit our pizza preferences, but we definitely like it plenty enough to go back over and over for the ambiance, the great service and pretty good pizza with reliable other entrees.
Stopped by and picked up some meatballs for dinner. I am still eating keto so I'm always looking for something that I can eat that is keto. I take my own keto bread and it's awesome to eat their meatballs with the keto bread. Win win. The parking lot is handicapped accessible as is the restaurant. They are usually pretty busy especially on weekends. The restrooms are clean and have a handicap stall The service is very quick. You can order ahead of time for take out or eat in. I recommend them for parties or if you love Italian food try this place-you won't regret it.
I love this place, everything taste amazing they are definitely expensive, but I think it is worth it The restaurant is very clean. They have plenty of employees who are all very nice. Everything is made fresh and has a lot of flavor I come as often as possible
Pizza is excellent & cheesy. The chicken parm sub was huge! About as big as a forearm! They have Pepsi products there. The restaurant setup is order at the counter then pick a seat. They'll call your number & you go up to get it. Big restaurant with lots of seating. They have attendants that will clear your table as you finish eating. Nice place for a quick or long lunch.
First time trying Pizza John's since moving to Baltimore and I gotta say the restaurant is like no other pizza spot I've been too. Great ambience and the service to go with it. The pie lived up to its hype!
Pizza John's is an institution and has become a go-to for generations with good reason. Reliably good, cheesy pizza with an affordable price point and a casual and clean ambiance means families and groups can arrive hungry and leave happy. I love that you order and pay at the counter, find a booth and then await your order to be called. Nice and easy. I've only had the pizza here but the wings look very tasty too, they also offer sandwiches and pasta dishes.
This is our first visit, and there were plenty of parking spaces available. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we liked the spacious, bright, and clean interior. After finding our seats, we went to the counter to place our order. I don't like overly sour flavors, and the pizza here has plenty of cheese and is delightfully sweet. The pizza sauce isn't too sour, but you can still taste the freshness of the tomatoes. The kids were also very satisfied. My partner ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was generous in portion size and tasted very authentic. He really enjoyed it. We were too full to order dessert, but we loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. We plan to visit again for dessert next time.
