CJ'S is absolutely amazing. If you haven't been since they have reopened, you must try them again. Tonight, we enjoyed the Cheese Dip, Small Caesar Salad, Chicken Parmesan, and Flourless Chocolate Torte for dessert. Everything was delicious! Probably the best Chicken Parmesan I've ever had. They have a limited menu, but nightly specials. Check them out! read more

New and improved! It was good before now it is great. We had the dry rub wings, meatballs, lasagna, and Mediterranean salad. Everything was amazing and affordable. Our server/bartender couldn't have been more friendly. Highly recommend. read more

great food but y'all loose a lot of customers with your weird hrs it's 4:30 on a Saturday and I can't get my fav pizza

We were in Parkersburg for a short weekend with our pups. We visit several times a year as it's close, we have a Hilton property that takes pets and we ride bikes in the woods on bike trails with the dogs running after us. Total fun. We wanted something diff than a chain option which candidly, is what Parkersburg has more available than one wants and can get at home. We found CJ's. The pics looked fantastic and we were excited for something new. It was ok. Not bad but just ok. It's close to the Hilton - huge plus. It's nestled in what looks to be a private community - almost like it's part of their own country club for that neighborhood. It's super clean and the people are nice. We love sitting at the bar when we dine out. Stuffed mushrooms were fantastic. Their pasta dishes were awesome. Their bartender that particular night, he was ok - not really chatty. He wasn't rude at all - professional - but not super chatty on a football Saturday. We were the only ones sitting at the bar. Would we return? Maybe. I think there are too many places to try before we get to a point of having to go back. The dining area was well lit and very open. Nice place. read more

They have great gluten free options. We started with some dry rub chicken wings. My wife and I split a full size salad with house dressing. Which we loved. The real clincher was the gluten free pasta. Most places only give you Penne if they have any options. Here they had regular pasta which was incredible. We got the Alfredo and can't wait to come back the best gluten free pasta I've ever had in a restaurant. Amazing!!! Absolutely awesome place to have an incredible meal. read more

Cindy & James have opened perhaps the best Italian restaurant in the Mid-Ohio-Valley. Cooked to order, quality chef inspired food. Some of the best wait staff in the area. Ask for Chuck! He's hilarious. A bit pricey - $60 for two is normal if you get drinks and dessert. Loud, but fun atmosphere with a semi-open kitchen including a neat wood fired oven. One of the cleanest restaurants and kitchens you'll find - per a former 'The Proz' kitchen exhaust cleaners employee. Our family frequents CJs at least twice a month. Give them a try. My favorites are the chicken parm, mushroom chicken, and "The Salad" with smoked salmon. The pizzas are on point - and so are the dry rub wings. NET beer on tap! read more

We always enjoy our trips to Cjs! Whether it's pizza, salad, prepared foods or to go sides. That's the great thing about CJs is all the options. Their vinaigrette dressing is delightful. I tend to count on CJs as my go to for sides when I'm cooking meals. Their green beans are always so yummy, the fall salad was something different to try most recently and full of flavor. Their desserts are always wonderful. I wish they would always have the cannolis. Great wine options too. Deliciousness! read more

Food is always top notch! My favorite is the Mediterranean Salad with chicken but honestly have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. read more

The food is great. People are great. Everything is well packaged for take out and heats or reheats easily.

I loved the antipasto appetizer: garlic, olives, roasted red peppers, hummus and prosciutto I haven't been back to WV in a long time and found CJs to be a great addition. From the time we walked in, we were greeted and welcomed and well cared for. Our server, Chuck was knowledgeable about the menu and had a funny sense if humor. read more

It's currently only pick up / to go orders but it's still really good the Brooklyn pizza is my favorite which is a margherita pizza. Always a friendly staff I hope one day they can go back to dine :) read more

I love everything about Cj's. Our waitress suggested we try "The" Salad which was phenomenal. Best salad I've ever had, honestly. My mom and I shared it so we wouldn't be too full for our entrees. I had the chicken Alfredo which was slightly spicy and incredibly filling. The restaurant itself was beautiful and had a great atmosphere. It would be an excellent place for a date night. read more

I loved this place until they took the blackened chicken lasagna off the menu. That's the only reason I went here.

I work here. We are on vacation. Until July 18 at 11am Most in our area already know. But I wanted to post for someone who was traveling Since we have a large Gluten free menu sometimes people search us out. This is the best serving job I have ever had. read more

Absolute worst food i've ever had. It puts italian food to shame. I got the lasagna and expected a picture that was posted from a previous review. Let's just say if you want no cheese, no noodles and just a bitter red sauce then you've came to the right place. Also got the carrot cake and it had fake cream cheese icing and very tasteless. However, the service was incredible. read more

My family and I recently dined and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at your restaurant in Vienna, WV Upon entering this attractively designed facility, we were seated immediately by the host and were promptly provided with menus, crudités & a selection of beverages offered by your friendly staff The menu selection was truly outstanding with everyone eyeing each table-mates selection with considerable envy!! Each selection was enjoyed by all! Upon conclusion of our dinner, we were all served with a Rootbeer Float in memory of a dear family member If the drive from New Jersey to Vienna was indeed shorter, I would look forward to dining here often Thank you all for your genuine & gracious hospitality. MHM read more

Cj's offers very good Italian food. I've tried several items from the menu and have been pleased with each choice. The food is much closer to authentic Italian than any chain location would offer. I haven't tried a dessert yet because I've always had enough to eat with my entree. The service is very good, and the staff are friendly. I will definitely return. read more

Excellent meal. My wife is GF and the options here are a nice change of pace, especially for Italian. My wife had the eggplant manicotti and it "was perfect." Most gluten free pasta is gf penne so it was nice to have gf spaghetti noodles. We have 5 kids and they loved the spaghetti noodles and meatballs. I enjoyed the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Will be back to try the pizza next time we are in the area. Thanks! read more

My Sister In Law is a employee at this establishment and wanted to take us out to lunch before leaving on our trip back to Florida. The restaurant is very nice well organized and the food was terrific. Wood Fired Pizza was awesome! The owners are very proud of their establishment and willing to please your dining experience. The staff is very friendly and very customer service oriented. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

My Wife and I always loved the food and atmosphere at CJ's. It can get busy so timing is everything. We traveled all around the menu and enjoyed most of the Salads, Soups, Pasta, Wings, and Wood Fired Pizza that we tried. A little out of the way reataurant to try for a nice change. read more

Cjs is by far the best Italian restaurant in Parkersburg. The red sangria and dry rub wings are a must try!!! I have tried a lot of items on the menu and they are all great!! The staff is friendly and the service is quick! Oh and make sure try a cupcake on your way out of the door! Delicious!! read more

The best Italian I've had in WV so far, but that's not saying much because most of food in the area is truly awful. No offense to those who grew up here. The food at CJ's is good, not great but the atmosphere is great as are the employees. read more

Ever since we discovered this place, we stop by whenever we are in town. No matter what else we get, the always starts with the cheese dip! Pizza are super fast and tasty. read more

This place is truly a "rose amoung thorns". Everything i have had is excellent , the customer serivce is superb and friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxing.. Best place I have eaten in Parkersburg Area for lunch. My favorite is the fettuchine primavera.. can't get enough.. Love Cj's Italian Kitchen! Someone really knows what they are doing here! read more

Ask for Chuck. Nice waiter. I had the homemade cream of chicken soup and the scampi which was on special that night. Both very enjoyable. My wife and I shared the lemon cake after Chuck's suggestion and it was delicious. We are going to make a stop here more often. read more

Another must stop! It is well hidden but well worth seeking out. Great wait staff. Everyone is friendly. Food is superb Will definitely stop by again whenever I'm in town read more

CJ's has the best pizza (vegan cheese) I've had in the three years since I quit gluten. The staff is very sensitive to food allergies - great people. read more

Oh how I miss CJ's! Who would have thought that in "gluten-friendly" Colorado I would have such a terrible time finding any place that has a better grasp of proper allergy awareness than in West Virginia. I have been away from Parkersburg for nearly a year, and I seriously miss the consistent and careful crew at CJ's and their delicious food! Every salad, soup, pizza, entree, or dessert my wife (GF/Dairy free) or I ever had was FANTASTIC! read more

Only go there with people you don't want to talk to. Or take your two-way radio earmuff devices. The conversation noise is deafening and grows even louder as more people shout to be heard. We had the same experience two years ago on our first trip there, but owners have done nothing to fix the accoustics. Very uncomfortable. We wont go back. My 10" pizza was tough, overcooked. But others at table enjoyed their meals. Our server was attentive, accurate, friendly, and hardworking (ID:tall, young, blonde girl). read more

Amazing and incredible gluten free food. Not only the best in town - some of the best I've had anywhere!

Ive had lunch at CJ's maybe 4-5 times. The staff has always been attentive and the food always came out out and fast. The pizza is the best in town. Wish they had live music on the patio in the evenings Id come for that as well. read more

Delicious! Traveling for work in Parkersburg. CJ's Italian Kitchen was amazing! Excellent apps, yummy entrees - I had the 'make your own pasta' with spicy chicken and veggies in a white wine sauce. Co-worker had the blackened chicken linguini special. Service was great. All around great experience! Will definitely come back when in town again. read more

We ate at CJ's last night and it was incredible! The three in our group each ordered the lasagna that the waiter recommended. We were certainly not disappointed. The lasagna was some of the best I've ever eaten! It was made with CJ's own sauce and we were informed that the pasta was made there too! Two of us had to take half of our dinner home because it was such a large portion. What a treat for our lunch today! Our waiter was so attentive but not bothersome. He had such a cheerful personality that we knew he was a seasoned waiter. As we were leaving many employees thanked us for coming which just added to our experience. We stopped by the dessert counter on the way out and took home cannolis and three huge cupcakes! We will definitely be returning to CJ's! Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience! read more

CJs is great! Excellent food and pretty good service. Authentic and in a nice location. My only complaint (and I'm assuming because it's locally owned) is the hours here. Not open Sunday or Monday, so when my father comes to visit (and he is very Italian) he has never been able to try this delicious food! read more

The white pizza is delicious. Great service and gluten free options as well. Always a goto for a nice evening out.

Friendly staff and fast service. We had an over zealous waitress that was becoming more of a nuisance with each minute she stopped by. Cheese Fonduta was very good. Ravioli are a specialty & I had the seafood ravioli with spicy red sauce. Seafood was to include shrimp and lobster. The sauce was very spicy and flavorful. Ravioli had shrimp but I not certain about the lobster. Also eaten at our table were the blue crab ravioli which were enjoyed by those that ordered and mushroom ravioli with vodka cream sauce. My friend was surprised that the vodka sauce was spicy but she enjoyed it anyway. For dessert they had red velvet cupcakes and I had tiramisu. They enjoyed the cupcakes and I thought the tiramisu was okay. read more

One of the best places that I have eaten in Parkersburg. The salads are excellent. Loved the pizzas! Very different from other places in the area. Nice outside seating. read more

Extremely LONG wait. I wanted to get up and leave 3x while waiting but my boyfriend really wanted to eat there. 3 parties that came in after us were seated before the 2 of us. The food took long and was small portions and quality wasn't matching the price, I rather go to the Olive Garden. read more

this is a very good place to have some real good stone oven cooked pizza. it is cooked right in the middle of the whole restaurant. very nice theme and vibe in the venue. i got a regular pepperoni pizza and must i say. it is the best pizza i have ever had. it is a little pricey but it's worth your money read more

We arrived just before closing time but none of the staff seemed to mind. The lasagna was the best we had ever eaten. Our server, Chuck was incredibly helpful and provided top-notch service. Our party of 4 left there with a wonderful memory of that awesome dining experience. We will be spreading the word and hope to return soon. read more
