Y'all, we were sleeping on this restaurant. I absolutely love how festive they are; I felt like I walked into a Hallmark film with all the Christmas decorations. The pizza!!!!! We ordered an 18-inch pepperoni and half pineapple--so good! The supreme pizza was fantastic as well. In our family, ranch is a must, and this place did not disappoint. Fantastic ambiance, service, and food!!! read more

It was a cold, eerie night -- the kind of night where the wind whispers through the parking lot like a warning. My stomach growled like a wolf in the dark. My destination: Janino's Pizza, a beacon of warmth and comfort food, or so I thought. I stepped inside, shivering, hoping to find solace in melted cheese and red sauce. The air smelled faintly of garlic and despair. The lights flickered above us -- not dramatically, but just enough to remind me that fate had a sense of humor. I ordered a pepperoni roll and the legendary "unlimited pasta and meatballs." Unlimited, they said. Unlimited hope, perhaps. The menu promised indulgence, but the universe had other plans. When I asked for a drink, the cashier's eyes went hollow. "We don't have any of those," she said. None. Of. Them. Not Coke, not Sprite, not even water with a smile. Just the sound of the soda machine hissing in quiet defeat. I tried to stay optimistic. After all, the food would surely make up for it. But then -- horror struck. Our food arrived. Hot, steaming, ready to be devoured. But there was a problem. No silverware. There we sat, staring at the steaming plates like survivors of a shipwreck watching rescue drift away. The pepperoni roll mocked me -- glistening, taunting. The pasta sat there, bathing in red sauce glory, untouchable, a forbidden treasure. Minutes ticked by. I began to question reality. Was this a test? A lesson in patience? Were we meant to eat spaghetti with our bare hands like medieval peasants? My inner monologue grew darker with every second. Finally, after what felt like an eternity (but was probably seven minutes), the silverware arrived -- carried like holy relics by a tired server who avoided eye contact, perhaps haunted by the chaos of the night. The food itself? It was... fine. But the experience -- oh, the experience -- will live forever in my mind as the night Janino's Pizza tested my spirit. If you ever go there, bring your own drink. And maybe -- just maybe -- pack a fork. read more

Salad and pizza are exceptional. The service is excellent and the ambiance is very nice. I love the Italian feel of the restaurant.

Great pizza! Local place that is easy in and out or enjoy the laid back dining experience

So they added delivery- and it sucked to say the least. Not to mention the two pizzas we ordered were overcooked and had minimal cheese. And a side of ranch for $2 was like two ounces. As someone else mentioned in another review, more bubbles in the crust than toppings. We are kind of done with this place. read more

I have no idea why there are so many reviews or why it took us so long to try Janinos. My family and I visited for the first time tonight and had the best experience! Our server, Jennifer, was incredible. So personable, great with our kids and went above and beyond several times with her service. The hot honey garlic wings and Sophie pizza were delicious, and my picky 4 year old who never eats much devoured the cheesy breadsticks. We can't wait to come back! read more

Food, service, ambiance...all top notch. Good food and friendly service ...highly recommend the pizza pies.

Great little community bar and dining room. In between lunch and dinner, all seating is in the bar area, at least it was the two times I've been during that period. They had a fire but have reopened with the same look and feel. The food tastes good, it's always been hot and fresh. The kitchen has lost our order twice but the server has told us about it and made sure to check in with us and the kitchen until our order arrives. She's pretty talkative and has some funny stories. We usually get their pizza, but everything I've ordered so far has been really good and plentiful. read more

Be wary if you order for a pick up. Because I live a half a mile away, I tried their to-go ordering online. I arrived there a couple of minutes early, and it was waiting for me. At home, I found it was room temperature at best. Okay, give 'em another chance. Same result, except this time it seems they literally just tossed on the pepperoni and it landed on just one side. I then saw how there was a mystery fee of $5 and a default tip for about the same amount. Didn't see the default tip but maybe should have. I messaged them twice to please explain the mystery fee. Both times they sent an auto-response merely thanking me for asking. Nothing more. I found nothing on their website about the $5 fee. Could be there, but it's buried somewhere from what I can tell. I read in another couple of reviews that their attitude there can be rude. Yeah, I'm sure other people have found them excellent etc. My experience, though, was so bad that I will not order from them again. read more

Placed an order online. I went to pick it up and received a text saying my order was ready. The girl at the counter said they were just packing it up. 12 minutes later I go back and ask if it's ready yet. She goes back in the kitchen for a few minutes and gets the manager. I show the manager my text saying my order is ready and she goes and tries to find my order. After another 5 minutes I told them to don't worry about it and just give me my money back. The chef and manager both came out at that point and asked if they could make something for me for no charge. At first I declined as I was in a hurry but they kept offering anything I wanted. I told them I wasn't looking for anything free and just wanted my order. 10 minutes later they me my order and included a salad and fried green beans that had not ordered. They manager gave me my food and told me a found would be processed the next day.I thanked her for making the situation right. However, the refund was never issued. As I said, I was not looking for anything free, but when they state multiple times that a refund would be given and then it is not you must question their integrity. There are many choices for take out on the Eastern Shore that actually value your business and treat you with respect. I definately will not be back read more

If you don't mind the staff being coked out while they wait your table and the pizzas being hit abs miss this place is pretty good. Their burger is absolutely delicious. The staff has been high on something every time I've gone but that being said, they don't have to write anything down and everything comes out as ordered. So there's that. I feel like if they made the staff stop using on the clock then the food quality would improve and so would the reviews. It's very obvious there's some back room sniffing going on but the food good man. read more

Can you please update your E-Mail regarding if you have reopened since the fire? If not When?

Really nice folks and great service but the pizza and marinara needs a lot more soul. Very clean place and you can never fault a place for hanging up a Jerome Bettis jersey. Also there is this cat named Art at the bar and he is the living embodiment of the Cliff/Norm vibe. I'll come back for sure, I just don't dream about their pie. read more

Great customer service! Made my day. Made a pickup order by phone and my pizza was out quick and delicious as can be!

We really love this pizza! Always delicious and piping hot. We like the Bronx - their version of meat lovers. Plus the restaurant is cute inside and separate from the bar area which is a popular spot. And the staff is always friendly. read more

Love the Bronx pizza. Small pizza shop with an attached bar! This place is cozy. Frequent Local!!

Well, we just found the worst pizza place in Baldwin county. We ordered a 18 inch thin and crispy peperoni with Italian sausage on half and extra cheese. To begin with, the pizza was burnt to a crisp, there was not enough cheese on the whole pizza for one slice so we got ripped paying for extra cheese. there was very little peperoni and the pizza over all was so bare of toppings that there were a lot of dough bubbles on the bare pizza. they did put plenty of sausage on half of the pizza but like I said the pizza was burnt. Just awful and very disappointing. Any other pizza place would be better. read more

I really wish this place was consistent in Putting toppings on a pizza correctly They get it right 1x out of 3 I always order extra toppings to have the entire pizza covered up with a 1 inch crust around the edge But usually I get a 3 inch crust on a 18" pizza Kinda ridiculous. But I Can't say it isn't good read more

Janino's Pizza Daphne - Pizza Near Me - Daphne, Alabama

It's excellent Pizza at a reasonable price. You choose the size, and choose from the extensive toppings list. Tried it once, and now eat there regularly. I've never been disappointed. But takeout is best in my opinion. It can get crowded. read more

Ordered online. It said 40-45 for takeout. I show up with about 10 mins to spare. Pizzas feel cold but I took them anyway. Not even warm when I opened them at home 5 mins later. Congealed, garbage pizza. My kids were starving so I microwaved theirs and took the other one back. They told me "the pizzas came out early and you should've picked them up sooner." Offered to remake the pizza but at this point it was 8:00 at night. Would only credit me for the one I brought back, and only on a future visit, even though I had pictures to show them what the other looked like. Manager wouldn't come out and talk to me. Haha, seriously. They gave me a bunch of hassle like I was running a big pizza scam or something and were laying on more attitude than any semblance of customer service. Could've handled it like any business that values customers or stands behind their product, but instead just ensured I never give them another dime. Garbage pizza, worse service. read more

Pizza is always amazing! Their chocolate cake with cannoli like filling is mouth watering! Great service too!

This is some of the best pizza I've ever had! The crust is not too thick or thin, and nicely crispy. The toppings were delicious (crispy edge pepperoni!) and the pizza was perfectly cooked. My new favorite local pizza spot! Also really great customer service and nice people. read more

Janino's Pizza Daphne - Make your own pizza, add pepperoni and onions, add mushroom to half. Carry out order. - Pizza Near Me - Daphne, Alabama

Abusolutely ridiculous! Since when $100 are not accepted as a form of payment? It's clearly stated on the bill that is a note for legal tender for all debts. Went to lunch and they didn't not accept my money. After telling them I have no other form of payment they had to accept it. It would have been nice to let me eat for free since cash is not accepted at their business. Not going again! read more

Ordered a pepperoni pizza roll and a pepperoni pizza. Roll was okay. Instead of the fresh pepperoni pizza I ordered I received a cold cheese pizza which was nasty and barely better than a frozen pizza. Pepperoni likely wouldn't have improved it anyway. First and last order from them. read more

Food was ok. I will say the first time we ordered from them the food was outstanding and well worth it. And, I understand that delivery is not the same as going to a restaurant. For 50+ dollars, for 2 calzones and a order of fried mushrooms... not a terrible deal for delivery. Unfortunately the delivery driver was very pleasant and early, but somehow the food was cold. They gave us 1 small cup of marinara to split between 2 calzones, and nothing to dip the somewhat cooked fried mushrooms that had obviously been soaked in the overly used fryer. They tasted like the oil was months old, looked like they were burnt, yet the batter was still not crispy on the inside. The calzones were not bad after my wife put them in the oven for a bit to bring them passed room temp. read more

Food is really good. That said, the time it took to get some pies (pizza) was unfortunate. I'll try again but really hope it gets faster.

We had a specialty pizza delivered through DoorDash yesterday and my husband says it was one of the best pizzas he has ever had- he's usually a tough critic. The toppings were distributed very well, the crust was the perfect thickness with a little crunch while also staying soft, and the sauce was amazing. We got a salad as well but that was just the basic salad with onions, olives, tomatoes, and peppers so nothing to rave about. Also the food was prepared very quickly! read more

Used to frequent for pizza take out. A few years ago the place must've sold and remodeled. The pizza is now inedible and nothing like it was. Haven't been in over 2 years, there's much better NY style elsewhere now. read more

Very disappointed! Place had just opened for lunch and watched them unwrap a day old pizza. Took 2 slices resauced them more cheese and threw in the oven. That slice weighed a ton don't know how it still had some raw dough. Asked them to redo the slice and not put any extra sauce or cheese just heat it up. Still uncooked dough absolutely terrible. Who saves the pizza at a restaurant from the day before. Yes, they still charged me for it! read more

The food is very inconsistent! Had pizza today and the crust tasted like cardboard and the sauce tasted different! I use to be great but it's changed in the past 6 months. read more

We really like Janino's and have enjoyed many a pizza there over the years. However, the last 2 visits one about a month ago and one earlier today we have walked into a very unpleasant atmosphere where one or more employees were for some reason unhappy and wanted to make sure we were a part of their unhappiness. I get it, everyone has a bad day every once in a awhile but having happen on our last 2 visits is a bit too much. There is also the matter of being a grownup and dealing with personal issues on your personal time. Not within earshot of customers. We hope this get's fixed soon. We have walked out twice now with no meal. The third time will be our last. read more

Coming from Pittsburgh we have not found an authentic pizza place anywhere on the east shore of Mobile Bay. Janino's is as close as it's gets. Crust was good, sauce was okay, but the best part was the friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was great. We'll be back again. read more

This is an Italian restaurant. The appetizer was mozzarella sticks, crunchy with marinara sauce,but nothing to phone home about. Defined frozen sticks. We had the Stromboli. We shared it because the portions are very big and the food is hearty. The Stromboli is very bready. The spice was delicious and the sauce was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere is ok, family friendly, sports bar. The bartender waited on us not much Friendly interaction. Didn't see any servers, but we were there on a slow night. read more
