CJ Ephrata Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Ephrata, Pennsylvania

Tried to order a pizza to go over the phone. A young boy was trying to take my order but had no clue what was on a veggie pizza. After several tried to explain, I finally said thank you but no thank you. I'll go elsewhere. There was an older voice in the background who could have answered. But allowed the young man to keep trying to get the order correct. I again said thank you but no thank you. I'm going elsewhere. After terminating the call within two minutes this pizza shop called me back and the older guy who was in the background started to talk very indignant towards me. I told him why I was going elsewhere and he said you never call here again. That they were professionals and You are not welcome here. Didn't know what that has to do with pizza or not order but? That's fine. I can't say bad or good things about the food they serve because I've never tried it. However, if the owner gets upset and indignant towards potential customers one must wonder how professional they really are. To call back a potential customer and speak the way he did. Well, you decide if you want to do business with them. Perhaps that is why I rarely see any one doing food business with them. Just saying. read more

Great food family owned enjoyed everything they make here from Spanish food to Italian

I moved from the area just as this place was opening. So when I am in the area I stop by and get a small cheesesteak calzone and rice and beans w/yellow rice! It seems that I am the only one with that combo so they know who it is. And before you ask I am not eating them together but I don't know when I might find myself back in the area and I can always find something to go with rice and beans. read more

It's time for you to decide whether or not you want to run a successful restaurant or burn through your savings until you go bankrupt. When you took over you were high level for what you offered in the area, plus offering the only authentic Dominican style food within 50 miles, now you have relaxed or lost interest to the degree that it's at a critical point. We notice and either step it back up or resign. All love in the world because I want you to win!!! read more

First time ordering here... Wife ordered the chicken mofongo which tasted authentic and delicious. The workers are polite and friendly, especially the woman who prepared the mofongo. Hard to find good, authentic Spanish food at a reasonable price in our area. My wife will definitely order again. I ordered a ham and cheese hoagie which is made with homemade bread. It was good but could have used some seasoning. Will ask for it next time. We also ordered beef empanadas which were packed with beef. They were nice and crunchy. Easy to find in downtown Ephrata. Hidden gem. read more

CJ Ephrata Pizza is located in the Historic section of Ephrata Pa. If you are shopping in the business district or window shopping at the stores, chances are you are looking for a good place to eat. Conveniently located 2 doors down from Ephrata National Bank, if you are looking for easy parking and excellent food; you have found your spot. You may see a horse and buggy go up or down Main Street if you sit near the window, and can watch people and cars go past. CJ Ephrata Pizza isn't just a pizza shop. It says Italian and Hispanic Restaurant on the menu, however, the Hispanic dinners are the real deal! The shrimp tacos are amazing! The empanadas are outstandingly delicious. Their desserts are also really good. They have glass bottled sodas, I like this; they have a large variety. In the spring and summertime they have an area for outdoor seating as well. Even though I haven't tried everything on the menu, this is a place I will be back to again. I received service with a smile, helpful / friendly staff, and food that was out of this world. If you want to be in the middle of all the action sit outside or near the window. If you like it quiet, they have places for that too, either way you have a great place to eat and affordable prices. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for Hispanic food OR Italian food. I would rate 6 stars if I could ! read more

All I have to say is if you live in Ephrata and you want Great food you have to come to cj's. I ordered a turkey hoagie, and I couldn't believe how amazing the meat was. I asked one of the owners where they get their meat , and she told me that they only use Boars head deli meat. People where are you going to go to get a hoagie made with boars head meat. Most restaurants only care about food cost, but this place puts quality over a profit. This place is so reasonably priced!! I urge everyone to try cj's!!! This place also has amazing Latin food, and amazing pizza!!! read more
