    Best pizza, hands-down, for sure the taco pizza. Steph is always super friendly. They do a cute thing for birthdays. Restaurant is always clean and upkeep Love that you get to watch them make your pizza through the window They also have ice cream and a game room and during the week they have a lunch buffet

    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

    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.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, an open kitchen, wonderful smells, and the kind of friendly service that makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. The staff is upbeat, attentive, and genuinely seems to care that you're having a great experience. The pizza is phenomenal! It's perfectly crisp crust, generous toppings, and that ideal balance of sauce and cheese. Every bite tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. We had a pepperoni pizza with hand tossed crust, and a mac and cheese pizza with a thin crust! Both were fantastic. We also had the balsamic chicken and arugula flatbread; another winner! Hands down one of the best places in Green Bay for pizza, we look forward to trying some of the sandwiches next time. Five stars all the way! We'll definitely be back!

What a hidden gem, a half mile off the highway, but you may need your GPS to navigate to it. Being from New England originally, I was delighted to find what they carried main lobster rolls for a limited time, so I had to order one of those and then we ordered a spicy Italian sub and split both for variety. Both sandwiches were superb, and the lobster rolls were significantly less expensive than the small handful of places that you can find them here in Northeast Wisconsin. The place was fairly empty because we got there well after lunch hour, but we were surprised to not see anyone else in there because this place is far better than most other options, including, but not limited to the corporate franchise options like subway, Jimmy John's, firehouse, subs, etc. Nothing beats Local small business owned restaurants like this! The staff was very friendly, and although the place was empty, they were processing a bunch of phone orders and we've watched a bunch of people come through for pick ups. Our sandwiches were prepared within five minutes, and they were absolutely delicious! We highly recommend this place and plan to go back next time we're off the Door Peninsula and down in that Green Bay area around lunch.

Read the bottom as to WHY. We arrived about 5pm on a Saturday. Not real busy. 1 minute to someone taking our drinks order, 2m30 to having drinks on the table and placing our app and food order. Apps were on the table in 15 minutes. Had an order of the Tracy bread with garlic sauce. Get the garlic sauce and just dunk your sticks like they're Oreos in milk. Delicious. Another 42 minutes and our pies were brought out one by one. Cooked to perfection, the bacon wasn't floppy, outer crust held its shape, and the base crust wasn't thin like a proofed crust. And also... no grease! It was moist, but it was the tomato sauce that was giving it the moisture. Would I order again? Heck yes. Would I have 3 beers before the food arrives? Heck no, lol. LITTLE SECRET ON WHY IT TAKES SO LONG: aluminum pans are used instead of dark pans which would otherwise cook faster. If they used dark pans, the outside and the crust would cook too fast, and the middle would be floppy and undercooked. This and the oven was the key to a stiff, flavorful pie. Would return again. 10/10.

The main dining room can get very loud on busy nights so I appreciated the more closed off space for a large dinner event. The caveat being we received spotty service - for example, water pitchers were set in the corner and you had to get up to pour your own water. At minimum, it would've been better to just leave pitchers on the table directly for faster access. Food was hit or miss. While we loved the appetizers, half of our table found their main entrees to be MEH. For example, my halibut arrived warm but the curry was room temperature. My colleague said her burger was one of the worst she's had. My other colleague said his steak was mediocre. People who ordered pizza loved it. An unfortunate mixed bag given the lively environment and nice ambiance. I'd come back again to give it another try because the menu rotates enough where I'm sure I'll land on some better food options next time.
