I love this place! From cheese pizza to the kitchen sink to Italian beef's with fries. I have never had bad service or food. It's something I look forward to when we decide it's pizza night! read more

Awesome pizza, we have had pizza from your portage, hobart, lake station and valparaiso and every single one makes amazing food. Thank you read more

The staff is great most of the time they're friendly too. But I don't order from here because I'm trying to make friends. I order from here because the food has been great for the most part. The wings are crispy and not burnt. The wing sauce is great too. I just wish they drowned my wings in the sauce, they said they didn't do that but they can give me extra sauce on the side. ‍ At least I get that right... The pizza is amazing. I recommend the supreme. Anyway, I have eaten at the restaurant too and it was nice. Clean. They have game machines like back in the days to play on while you're waiting for your food. The temp is good. The tables and chairs are comfy. I definitely recommend this place. read more

"JJs" has been a family favorite for years. The service is always prompt and friendly. We absolutely love their "Kitchen Sink" pizza. There's nothing else like it! Big shout out to them on Super Bowl Sunday. No one else would deliver, that day. Not only did they deliver, but they were prompt and the pizza was delicious as always! read more

I love JJS PIZZA. I will not order from anyplace else. Today I was very disappointed. I ordered a beef boat and asked to put cheese and veggies on top of meat.Everythong was on the bottom, the bread was soggy on bottom and fell apart but the bread on top and sides was very hard. read more

My ultimate favorite food. The pizza is amazing both tavern and stuffed. I will never miss an opportunity to get jjs

Great service the food was hot and the employees were friendly when you order on delivery it's on time

My brother and I had found a new piece of place. This pizza is the bomb we get a fully loaded pizza sausage, cheese, mushroom, onion, green pepper pizza very very good is the best pizza in a long time. Thank you. read more

J&J's pizza has been my go to for the best pizza for many years. I've lived all over the US, and they have always been my favorite. The stuffed pizza is amazing. Always consistent quality, perfectly cooked and generous toppings. Best of all, their price is right too. You can't miss here. read more

The pizza is good, but plan to get hung up on every time you call. Horrible phone service. No manners. Order something? You're going to get hung up on like you're the next problem to deliver. No"thank you", no courtesy. Called to ask to add delivery instructions, response "is that it" hung up on me. Hung up with rude service twice tonight while I said please and thank you like a normal courteous person should speak with someone on the phone. read more

Jjs sandwiches have went to pot,meatball sandwich I ordered was way too toasted.I just had a dry burnt Stromboli and I order from jjs 7or more times a month.But the sandwiches have went downhill Stromboli meat was dry bare any sauce on it same as cheese guess jimmy johns gonna win me,from now on.DW read more

I am staying in a hotel and there are about a dozen pizza places that deliver here. So I went down to the front desk to converse briefly with the staff about the best pizza joint that delivers. They recommended J & J's. When I called to place an order the employee was very friendly. The delivery driver was exceedingly cheerful. The pizza was.......disappointing. Unless I just happened to order a pizza on an "off" night I am puzzled by the glowing recommendations. I enjoy all types of pizza: deep dish, thin crust, stuffed, pan, you name it but I expect it to have some flavor. The stuffed pizza I ordered had a very bland crust and the sauce basically had no spice or seasonings. Being in a hotel room I had very little to add to the pizza to spice it up. I was able to find some Tabasco packets, salt and pepper in the (closed) breakfast room but that was the best I could do. True, it was very cheap. But I would rather pay more for better pizza. So........four stars for friendly customer service. Five stars for exceedingly friendly delivery. Two stars for the disappointingly flavorless pizza. And extra credit for being cheap eats. But two stars overall says I won't return unless I have a dozen hungry teenagers to feed on a limited budget. read more

See all

It's sad to see how they have fallen. A couple of months ago we ordered a pizza with sausage and mushrooms and the mushrooms were from a can. I said I'd never order there again but tonight I gave them another chance. I ordered a pizza burger (burger, mozzarella, Swiss or provolone cheese with marinara). The girl answering the phone told my wife if it's off the menu the high schoolers making the it would mess it up... I should have listened but I thought home can you mess that up. I got a plain burger with marinara on the side and col mozzarella in a box on the side... Really JJs... you really need to get squared away. So disappointed in them and myself for giving them another chance. read more

This is probably one of my favorite pizza places around the Chicago land area I think it's top notch and basically my go to pizza place. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because they really don't have a dine in option. I have basically ordered every style of pizza on the menu. I gotta say my favorite is the deep dish kitchen sink pizza. I think the kitchen sink is well worth the price the don't skimp on the toppings and it is just a awesome pizza. I will say I'm not a huge fan of the stuffed crust with the kitchen sink style normally just stick with the deep dish or thin crust. I also think that the customer service and delivery drivers at this place is really above average. They are very nice and always pleasant. I also think the wait time is pretty reasonable and I've never had any problems. read more

J & J's Pizza Shack - Deep Dish Kitchen Sink? - Pizza Near Me - Portage, Indiana

I went to JJ's Pizza Shack in Portage Indiana on Monday 11/08/2021 4:pm to pick up a phone in order. There only seemed to be two people in the back taking and preparing orders. A table of six was already served and the guy in the back was preparing at least six orders including mine. It was amazing watching his work ethics, speed, and efficiency while working all the orders at one time. Thumbs up to the two people keeping up with the phones, baking, and gathering the orders together. My order consisted of several sides and two pasta dinner orders and everything was there and hot when I got home. 10 stars read more

Awesome pizza, and friendly staff. I would suggest ordering the supreme or kitchen sink pizza. Price is a good deal.

The crispy pizza bread I ordered was soggy and stuck to the aluminum foil that it was wrapped in directly. the same for the tomatoe bread that I ordered. when I called they blamed it on a new hire who put too much cheese on as topping. now I have purchased numberous pizza and tomatoe breads with extra cheese and have never encounter the problem. They offered to make me new order but at !0:00pm at night I had to decline. I also order chicken wings that I have ordered in past and loved but this order was soggy not crispy and definitely not hot wings. This is not the first time I have been disappointed in the Portage restaurant. The pizza I have had from Hobart location was wonderful. What is the difference? Is there a decent pizza place in Portage? Unfortunately I did not take pictures but sure if the pictures could justify.! read more

Good pizza-terrible service The pizza is awesome in my opinion. All pizza is unique to the place. So I think that they're version or take on pizza is good. The stuffed crust is pretty much all I get, and I just switch up the toppings. That pretty much sums it up. They have messed up my order and all I got was a "ok we will credit you and get you next time". Not we're sorry, we'll deliver it to you right away, we will refund you. Nope!! read more

I did not order from these guys recently, but i can say when my gf and I were in Valparaiso, In we would order form that location all the time and loved their pizza. Different types of foods ordered, on different occasions were their pizzas of course taste awesome to us, their shrimp basket was ok, but honest fried foods don't sit well with us as much, so i can not give a true opinion on them for anyone. I can say their beef sandwiches are awesome as we loved them. We as well have had their chicken wings , which also are good. We have yet to order form the one in portage as we reside in now, but we shall seriously do so soon again. read more

Good pizza, good breadsticks. Reasonably priced food, and their party pizzas are great for entertaining a lot of people. Sparse settings inside and I have actually never eaten inside as we live just down the street. You won't be disappointed with the food here. read more

It took them an hour to cook a couple of 12in one topping pizzas and they didn't even tell me when the pizzas were done. I walked up to the counter to see what the holdup was and saw my pizza is just sitting there in the hot box. Clearly no one working there actually cares about what they do. read more

The best pizza with everything you will ever have is called the Kitchen Sink. If you was an awesome steak and cheese ask for a Boat without sauce, it's big too! Their fried veggies are excellent too! read more

The pizza is very good but after four inaccurate order, I called and politely asked to speak to a manager. Lauren, the manager, is my sole reason for giving a 1 star rating. I opened by saying that I wanted to respectfully share some feedback with her. I explained the situation and all she did was make excuses. I even agreed with her that everyone makes mistakes and I was not complaining about their new employee, who took my order this evening, but rather the fact that something has been wrong multiple times which is why I was calling. She continued to make excuses then smugly said perhaps if I was the one having reoccurring problems with my order I should request to speak to a manager if I want to order there again. Someone needs to teach this young lady a lesson in customer service. read more

What can I say! I ordered $80 worth of Pizza and Wings as a group was getting together. This was our first night in Indiana. (June 30) The order arrived late, to say it was trash is to say the least. Ordered stuffed pizza ( pepperoni and cheese) Zero Pepperoni! little cheese, the pizzas were cold and had to microwave them. The wings were cremated, looked like jerky. Attempted to call back that night, there was no answer. When I finally contacted the manager, she sounded like a little girl. Stated that their policy was $5 credit. Give me a break!! Also said if YOU DO NOT CALL BACK ON THE SAME NIGHT...TOO BAD. What an attitude. I would highly recommend another place. What kind of food business does not stand behind their product. Chuck-e-Cheese is a step up!......Sad! read more

I was in Northwest Indiana on family business and ordered twice. We give your pizza and help a Five Star! I even got with your store manager: Tina and she arranged for my two large pizzas to be ready and frozen packed for their flight home to Colorado. Once home I had one Very Thankful Happy hubby! Thank You once again TINA and her staff their at J & J's Pizza On Central Ave. Portage. Sincerely Frances & Sandra Renn Loveland, Colorado 80538 read more

I remember growing up and everyone always talking about how great it was and I would be like "am I missing something?"It's ok at best. The prices are so low and you definitely get what you pay for. I have to modify anything I order to make it tolerable. read more

People rave and rave about JJ's in the region but I've never been highly impressed. They make a good italian beef but that's about it. The pizza doesn't have much flavor and always seems soggy for a thin crust. Also I always think their pizzas taste way more salty then anyone elses. My dad loves their kitchen sink which has every topping imaginable on it and orders it all the time. It's their signature item but if you order it have a huge bottle of water available because with all the salty cheese and ingridents you'll need it. read more

The shack is where it is at. I've been told how good this place is and I was not disappointed. I tried jalapeno poppers which were the best ones I've ever eaten. I also ate the stromboli with sausage and mushrooms. It's not your typical looking stromboli but it was very delicious. Also I do recommend the banana fosters bite those were amazing. read more

Literally service couldn't be worse. Get ready for spit and pubes in your pizza. Cheers!

There's a reason J & J's has been around nearly 30 years... AMAZING pizza!!! Whether you're a fan of thin, traditional, thick or pan crust at J & J's it's ALL good. This is my "go to" pizza place for pick up or delivery. They support the local community so PLEASE support J & J's!! read more

Decent pizza, decent price. Nothing totally special really, their roast beef pizza is pretty good, but overall, the pie just isn't that good. Not a lot of taste, so bring the Tabasco sauce. There are a lot of good alternatives to this place in Portage, Indiana, so search before you totally settle on it. read more

Love me some JJ's pizza, but the place inside looks like a solitary confinement room in a jail. It's dark and dirty.

You really have to try a 'stuffed' pizza. It's like a massive calzone cut into pieces you can grab and eat. If you get a lot of 'toppings' it will be one hell of a mess! Try it with just cheese and pepperoni--best pepperoni in the area that I have tried! We usually get a medium stuffed--with extra,extra cheese and a bit of extra sauce. I will admit over the last 13 years of ordering from this location we have never been let down, had rude service, or had anything missed upon delivery. There have been some slightly overcooked crusts in the mix--but all you have to do is say "Hey guys, could you watch my crust and make sure it doesn't burn?" And they know your a regular! read more

You would think they would be exactly like J&J's in Lake station, but nope. I will never order another sandwich from this location (you get about half as much meat.) read more

Worse service EVER! Did not get what we ordered and delivery took FOR EVER!! We called and repeated the order of food that was mistaking and got a ear full of rudeness and apparently we cant read the menu from their website cause we are wrong.. As much as 3 people in my house read the same thing that I ordered from THEIR menu and I knew I wasnt reading it wrong.. But to J&J Pizza Shack as their customers "that can read" We are all wrong. So as Im Typing this we have to give back the food that THEY messed up and have to wait even longer for our kids to eat. Never again will order their again btw I wanted to stop going to J&J the first time having their food "its awful" Thanks J&J for the rudeness and awful food and service. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!! read more

We have tried several pizza places and found that J&J's is the best so far. Their pizzas taste like home made. There are plenty of tables and games for the kids. read more

J & J's Pizza Shack - Mmmmm! - Pizza Near Me - Portage, Indiana

We were passing threw Portage and wanted a pizza. We found JJ's on Google maps. The girl at the counter was very pleasant. We ordered a ground sausage pizza, breadsticks, and breaded mushrooms. They were all excellent. They also had arcade games and old fashioned pinball. The kids had a lot of fun while they waited. All in all very great place. We will go back to any JJ's if we are near one. read more

J&J's pizza is the Gold Standard when it comes to local pizza. Outstanding servise and taste.

I thought that little Caesars was the worst pizza but j&j's has beaten them hands down. j&j's used to be a great pizza, but how things have changed. one would get more flavor out of eating a sponge than a pizza from j&j's, OH! I'm so SORRY called that flavorless disk from j&j's a pizza. Forgive me all you wonderful pizza makers. To Missi R. I think they boil the sausage if you want to call it that and the sauce has not a lick of seasoning Used gum has more flavor. If this place wants to save themselves they need to call someone that knows something about flavor. I was at the mill the other day and they asked me for my opinion on j&j's I told them that I had just had a disk from them the other day and I had to drench it in Chinese Sriracha sauce in order to enjoy some sort of pleasing flavor. The mill is very large and when they order pizza they order a lot. I told them to order fried chicken from Strack and Van Tills. read more

I used to think this place was great. I think that is before it was moved a few thousand times. I keep swearing we will not go back to it.. then something happens and we do and what do you know it is great again. But every other pizza looks like someone sat on it - so I guess I would say that this is a hit or miss pizza joint. People who love it.. REALLY love it. read more
