We ordered Happy Joe's while camping at Flandrau State Park up the road on a Friday evening. The food wasn't ready in the time provided, but about 10 minutes after. When we visited, the restaurant seating was closed. Based on the conversations around me, they had not opened it. It seemed like the location was recently opened (or reopened?) and working with limited staff. All in all, we really enjoyed the food. The dough was surprisingly fluffy! read more

Servers are so efficient and attentive they make the visit relaxing. The taco pizza with available cream cheese and taco sauce is unusual and tastes very good. Lots of room for kids to roam too. Nice place. read more

For a place called New Ulm, I think this place compliments the Schell's brewery beer nicely. We ordered the Joe Special with saurkraut and the flavor and texture was on point!! I would order it again. Our server was also super kind, super young, and super social. Really enjoyed the small town feel, arcades in the back for my son to play and redeem in ice cream!! I definitely will return and try other things. Oh yeah the wings were what you would expect, average price...those Broasted chicken though was just spectacular. read more

I order a meatworks calzone. It came quick and piping hot. I had a late lunch so there was only a few people and it was enjoyably quiet.

Best pizza I've had in a long time! Got a half vegetarian half taco pan crust and a calzone. Was at schell's brewery for the tour and had dinner here- waitress was very friendly- will definitely come back next time in town read more

Happy Joe's is my wife's childhood pizza place. This was our first time to this location and there was no disappointment. We for the BLT pizza, Happy Joe's special and of course her favorite Taco pizza. The BLT was cooked perfectly with a large amount of toppings. We added a side of mayo but we love mayo. The Happy Joe's special was delicious. The combination of sauerkraut and Canadian bacon work (maybe a little more sauerkraut next time). The taco pizza is the best I've ever had at any restaurant. They cook it perfectly and add the chips at the right time to keep them crunchy. Adding some Happy Joe's taco sauce and sour cream make it the perfect taco pizza. The service was excellent. Pizzas were done in a timely manner and brought to us while we sat. The owner even chatted with us for a minute asking for feed back. Great place it's worth the trip! read more

Great pizza! Timely delivery! We had a the Taco Joe (recommended by the locals) & Chicken Bacon Ranch pizzas. Both were delish!

I've tried taco pizzas from all over but none compare to Happy Joes . It's a must whenever I go home to visit family! read more

Happy Joe's - Taco Pizza - Pizza Near Me - New Ulm, Minnesota

Boss man wanted to stop in, said he went here a lot as a kid. Has a real nice cozy atmosphere to the place. Reminds me of a pizza place I went to as a young lad. We both got pizzas, and then some garlic toast with cheese. The garlic toast brought me back to when Pizza Hut used to offer that, and I always was a huge fan, so points there. The marinara was excellent. As for the pizza, I got a pepperoni with mushroom and onion pan pizza. The crust was solid, a nice Crunch with some softness. Sauce was great, toppings were good. Everything was baked really well. Staff was friendly on top of all this. I highly recommend stopping if you're near New Ulm and want some good food. read more

Usually great pizza... But they never stay open until they're supposed to, you call them an hour and a half before they're supposed to close and they say oh we've stop delivering an hour ago because there weren't enough deliveries. That sucks. If your have business hours keep them. read more

Happy Joes use to be the best pizza joint around!! Sadly it has gone down hill fast! No buffet, a medium pepperoni pizza for $15 and when u call to order a pizza and they say they are out of larges makes me really scratch my head!! Good thing for Casey's!! read more

Very tasty pizza. The only downside is my co-workers always want to order breakfast pizza in the AM but they never open at 9AM like it says they do. I called at 9,10, &11AM one morning and no one was there yet. So frustrating. It is also very overly priced-about $25 for a large pizza. However, they do have the best pizza in town. read more

Not impressed at all. I wanted to give this place a good shot since it's evidently an institution to this town which is my BF's current hometown, but I can't say that the food is worth anything more than my current rating which is more than generous. I can't say that I would call what this place serves as "pizza". It honestly tasted like something that was heated up out of a box-but honestly, a box Digiorno has more flavor and isn't half as GREASY. At least it would have some crust. The pies here were cracker thin with no dough or crust, no sauce and the weirdest part is that people recommended that you pile up lettuce/ground beef/tomato and crushed taco shells for "taco pizza"? I'm an Italian and that is too much culture mush for me. If it was done well it would work but it was not done well, neither the "tacos" nor the "pizza" were good and together they were worse. There were so many people crammed into this place it was nauseating. It was the 4th of July and I would honestly have preferred to be out in the fresh air and sunshine, but I was stuck in a cramped Chuck-E-Cheese style place with way more kids than adults running around. The arcade area seemed to hold them back for awhile until they inevitably ran out of tokens and came screaming back to mommy for more money for some prize that cost $5 to buy and $20 to win. The whole place smelled of sweat, every surface was covered in dried Dr. Pepper residue and the air smelled of people who wanted to go home. I've never been a fan of buffets since you never know what the person ahead of you did before you came and picked up that chicken tender. Ew. Same reason I won't eat at a pizza buffet, and I am not fond of eating of pizzas (questionable) that have been sitting out for who knows how long. I hate to break it to people that are fans of this place, but if you have never experienced better pizza in your life, there is better out there. read more

My family came on a Friday night at 5 p.m. Not busy at all. Ordered pizzas off the menu. My wife was pleased to find a gluten-free option. My pizza was tasty, and my kids liked their meals. They spent a good hour playing games and collecting tokens. Now, there are pizza places that I like more because of their pizza, but for the overall experience, I'm giving it a 4/5. read more

OMG for real for real these guys are the king of taco pizza, all time, for real!!! Happy Joe claims to be the inventor of taco pizza, and I believe him. Sioux Falls had a Happy Joe's when I was a kid - it closed when I was about ten. Tonight it was stormy and I was in New Ulm and I found Happy Joe's. I ordered a small taco pizza and it TASTED EXACTLY THE SAME AS TWENTY YEARS AGO. I'm still kind of reeling. It's seriously no joke, though. Life-changing. read more

I ate the buffet yesterday and it was Great! First the salad bar. Everything was fresh and delicious. 6 different types of dressing, everything you would want for a salad including pepperoni. Two types of lettuce even!! Not bad for a pizza place. Next the pizza. 11 different types to choose from. Taco was a hit as well as their pineapple and Canadian bacon. They also had chewy chocolate chip cookies! Finally the chicken. What a delight having juicy tender chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy! I was even dipping the pizza crust in the savory gravy. If you are in New Ulm, you have to stop! read more

Can not beat the pizza or sandwich selection. Nacho and BLT are some of the best pizza's in town!

Fast, efficient, staff is friendly. This is the best Happy Joe's location I have been to. Good pizza, great to take the kids to.

Taco pizza!!!!!!! I come here about once a year when I am home visiting and am always overjoyed with the quality and flavor. Thanks for always being awesome! read more

Also the service was bad they took around 8 minutes before they even saw us and there was maby 2 other people there. read more

A franchise chain, with all its strengths and weaknesses. Average pizza, at best, with an occasional fun choice like the Taco pizza. The dining area isn't large, so with a popular buffet line and lots of kids, it gets pretty loud. read more

My family and I tried this place for the first time and it was total disappointment! Walked in on a Sunday and the first thing the "cashier" said was you can have the buffet but their is nothing left," Ok? we didn't come for the buffet, thanks though. Then Spent $30 in the game room, which when we turned in our tickets, the girl at the counter couldn't have been ruder.. she basically made my 3year old hit her head on the glass because she RUDLEY said "I don't even know what you're pointing at." (Even though it was clear what my daughter wanted) Whatever shook that off came back to the table figuring our pizza would be there, but it wasn't...waited another 10-15 minutes and asked our waitress "how much longer" she comes back and said the pizza was NEVER put in the oven. After 45 minutes we left still hungry!! I was appalled at how poor the service was from our waitress to the cashier to the manager and let us just walk out. I called the store 10 minutes after it happened and asked for the "manager" because I couldn't believe how BAD the entire experience was, all he said was "sorry" The man I talked on the phone was "part owner" which I was shocked!! He has no idea about customer service and takes NO responsibility for his nor his employees mistakes! AVOID THIS PLACE! read more
