We had amazing service and took advantage of the Wednesday night family deal. The pizza was delicious and perfectly cooked. It was also nice to see a newly maintained parking lot, smooth, and safe for all ages.

Huge shoutout to Happy Joe's Pizza & Ice Cream! Yesterday, we had a post-meet celebration lunch for our Preble Cross Country Boys and Girls teams. Terri and her staff were so good to us, the pizza was amazing and the atmosphere there is so fun and relaxed. It's so nice to have a wonderful place so close to our school where all the runners could feel celebrated after their first official meet! Finally, kids are in high school for only so long and it's little things like this that help make nice memories. #supportlocalbusiness

Happy Joe's has the best Garlic Cheese Toast
Sandy S.

Happy Joe's is always consistent, with attentive wait staff, a fun game room for the kids, ice cream and of course, delicious pizza. We love Happy Joe's and we have been going there my whole life. I have no idea why I have never reviewed it before. We love their garlic cheese bread - it melts in your mouth...served as slices of french bread and cut in half, these are making my mouth water as I am typing it. Hot, cheesy, crunchy, garlicy - so good! Our favorite pizza is a unique blend of canadian bacon and sauerkraut - which i know sounds awful - but it is the flavors together that make it delicious. They call it the Happy Joe's Special and we love to order it in a Monster size...which has more middle pieces and of course more crust pieces, because of the size. In addition, we love the pepperoni pizza, whether it is the normal pepperoni or their special pepperoni with three different kinds of pepperoni on it - it is amazing! Happy Joe's also has an assortment of taco pizzas - with my favorite being the Taco Joe (refried bean sauce, taco-seasoned beef and sausage, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and taco chips). When possible again, the salad bar is one of my favorite things, with the pizza buffet you have a chance to sample different kinds of their specialty pizzas, breadsticks, garlic breads, and pastas. I don't really like dessert pizza, but if I am going to eat it, Happy Joe's has some of the best!

Happy Joe's is all nostalgia for me. When I was growing up as a youth (40 years ago) my parents would take me and a few friends for 1 or 2 of my birthday parties to a HappyJoe's in Appleton. I remember there being steps up to a small platform where you could watch through a window while the pizzas are being made. I also recall the gaming area which in the early 80's I remember as definitely being "all that". The birthday boy always received a small ice cream sundae and your own personal junior pizza. Oh those were simpler times and fond distant memories of years past. I was aware there are still a few Happy Joe's in our state, but haven't had the chance to visit one until remembering there was this one in Green Bay. This location seemed similar to what I remember of the Appleton location. The same window to watch your pie being made. My teenage son even humored his dad by standing on the viewing platform just long enough for me to take a picture. There was a gaming area albeit not quite what I remember. The pizza has a crunchy crust. I remember Happy Joe's pizza having small pieces of Italian sausage and this seems not to have changed. I remember the meat having a little more spice, but likely that's just an inaccurate recollection. Our pizza was solid but nothing spectacular. They have a $22 large 3 topping pizza with 4 sodas special on Tuesday & Wednesday nights. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Happy Joe's.

Friendly service and great food every time. Best pizza is the BLT pizza. Yum the salad bar is always fresh

I don't order pizza often but when I do I always get happy Joe's. It is always hot when it arrives and always gets here sooner than expected. We build our own with sausage, onions, green peppers and pepperoni.

My wife and I were looking to celebrate our anniversary. After looking at a bunch of menus we…read moredecided to dine at the Glass Nickel. We missed our turn and were circling the block when we saw Scott C driving the pedal bar. Yelp friends in the Green Bay area will remember Scott. It was great to see him, and he's doing well We were greeted by a very sweet waitress, who gave us excellent service throughout our experience here. We had an appetizer (raviolis) and ordered our meal. I love a good calzone so that's my choice. My wife ordered a vegetarian lasagna and a salad. Beer selection was great so we got beers, too All of our food was stellar, Best calzone in a long time. My wife said her food was really, really good. Bottom line excellent food, excellent service. A good choice for our anniversary. If you are looking for a cozy place to dine, this is it. A wide variety of Italian style dishes. A great place that can accommodate vegetarians and vegans. They do have vegan cheese that can be added to a myriad of dishes Although it's a 40 mile drive to get here, we will definitely return to try their pizza.

We visited the restaurant on a Friday evening around 6:00 PM and were surprised by how empty it…read morewas. Upon entering, there was a noticeable unpleasant odor reminiscent of raw sewage. We were seated in a booth and immediately noticed that the cleanliness of the establishment was below standard, with spider webs in the corners and dead flies in the light fixtures. I ordered a Blue Moon beer with an orange slice, served in a bottle. However, the server poured it into a glass without asking, commenting that they thought I would prefer it that way. I would have appreciated being asked first, as I would have ordered it differently if that were the case. For our meal, we ordered the Superoni pizza--a hand-tossed pizza generously topped with pepperoni--and an order of cheese sticks. The cheese sticks were visually appealing and tasted excellent. The pizza also looked promising, featuring a nice airy crust with appealing burn patterns and plenty of pepperoni. Unfortunately, the quality did not match the appearance. The pizza was overloaded with cheese to the point of excess, and the sauce tasted like it came from a can, lacking freshness. Despite these issues, we ate without complaint at the restaurant. However, after returning home, both of us became quite ill, which raises serious concerns about food safety. Based on this experience, we cannot recommend this restaurant and advise others to exercise caution.
