The service is great and the food is so delicious. Everyone that works there are so friendly and welcoming. The pizza is really good. We also had the chicken marsala, chicken soup and lasagna and everything was so delicious. We found our new go to spot. read more

Delicious food and reasonably priced fast delivery and they make good on any mistakes very present family oriented business

This place used to be good, maybe 10 or 12 years ago. I moved from EHT to Absecon several months ago, having lived here previously. There are several restaurants I used to like that have let me down and Joe and John's has done it several times now. I know, if they let me down once, why go back? We'll, anyone can have a bad day, so I'm one to give a second chance. First time we ordered delivery when we moved back the food was good, but then it went downhill. Chicken parmigiana that was like rubber, in the trash. Chicken Michelangelo...like leather, in the trash. Forgot to deliver the Cannolis!!! And this evening, pizza delivered that was supposed to be half cheese, have sausage and mushrooms that looked like a lava flow. Not one slice of the pizza could've been called "plain cheese". Don't waste your money. read more

Update: Went back sometime ago and I gotta tell ya....they are FANTASTIC now!! Thank you guys! We enjoy your food every week now! read more

Pizza was superb....owner very accommodating. Located on a quaint street with a home style atmosphere. Our dinner was followed by a wonderful paint and sip activity in the party room. I recommend a visit if ever-in the Atlantic City area. read more

The family selected Joe and John's and I nervously sat in the car reading the previous Yelp reviews. Good news: my experience was better. It wasn't the most phenomenal pizza shop with an Italian restaurant I've ever been to, but it was solid in every aspect. The service was friendly and accommodating. The dining room was cute; picture a mini "Venetian" backdrop. I had the eggplant parm with a side of pasta with oil and garlic. The dish was prepared to standard and was enjoyable. It also came with a side salad. There wasn't much in the salad so I'd probably give the soup a try next time. We also received fresh bread for the table. As with many similar places, Joe and John's is also BYOB. Not gourmet and not a horrific experience. It's a solid three. read more

Just order pizza from here, that's all they make good. One of those places from the 80's and 90's that haven't changed with the times, and I don't mean that in a good way, yet they still make really good pizza. read more

Excellent Italian Restaurant from Linquine with clams to the best Pizza you have ever tasted. The hospitality is outstanding. It reminds us of the television show Cheers where you soon become family. Coffee and desserts are a must. Thank you Giovanna and Dom read more

So this is a difficult review. I've been going to Joe & John's since they opened. I believe they have changed owners since then. While I have never gotten al bad meal from this place ,the quality has definitely changed over the years. The pizza here is average. Better then some not as good as others. Again I am a long time resident and consumer here but I am trying to be honest and not let sentiment cloud my judgment. Always a cheesy pizza and like I ve said I've never had a Bad meal here. The area however has grown and so many good places have popped up ,especially for pizza. Some by the original owners of Joe & John's. So if your looking for a quick bite they are ok but don't expect to have your socks blown off by this place. Pizza is average not bad , not great.. read more

Extremely Rude! Don't waste your time going here the new owners are horrible people! They are so rude and make everyone feel so uncomfortable! Everything has gone downhill since they took over. All the reviews are the same saying how badly everyone was treated. We have enough to deal with these days that we will not accept this kind of treatment!!! read more

I have to say this is the absolute best place!!! Excellent service, excellent food, perfect atmosphere. We have our business lunches there, as well as, our retirement parties. Very accommodating. Our server is TOP NOTCH!!!! Thank you Joe and John's for always being there with great food, great service and great atmosphere! read more

Excellent service , excellent food , excellent atmosphere, portions were huge & pricing just right! Staff prompt & courteous. Waitress Bella is attentive and friendly! Thank you for a very enjoyable meal! read more

Excellent pizza however none of the staff bothered to wear masks. I considered this to be cocky and disrespectful of the clients. I will not be returning read more

I got a Sicilian pie. The pizza isn't that great. The cheese is not a good quality and the sauce lacks any flavor.

What a load of crap this place is. They have a Wednesday special, 12 wings for $7. Not a bad deal, right? Well, boyfriend just called to order and was told by the very rude and unprofessional employee that it "depends on how they're cooked. If they're big wings, you get 10. If they're small wings, you get 12. It's whatever the cook decides to do" No, sorry, if you're advertising 12 wings for $7, then it's 12 wings for $7. Have you ever heard of such a thing?! Skip this place, since they clearly want to argue over the size and quantity of THEIR advertised special. There are way better places to get wings, where you won't be treated like they're doing YOU a favor. read more

I'm from Ottawa, Canada and family and I have been eating here for over 30 years and love it! There Philly Cheese steaks are awesome as is there pizza! I love their lasagna also. The prices are great value for all the food you get! The staff is very friendly and the service was excellent! read more

So mom and I had time to kill and this was on the way, didn't Yelp in time, staff is nice. One plain, 2 whites and one tomato. Pizza is okay but it wasn't salty (that's another story), $11.75 for 4 slices. Yelped & found another place but figured to give them a try. read more

Really liked the chicken wings so it got it 4 stars and the pizza isn't great would give it a 1 if I could... everyone was nice but the waitess forgot to bring me a knife when I asked for one but instead went to the counter to talk about all this wisdom she has an 19 year old..haha but the wings are something I would go back for. read more

Tried the buffalo chicken calzone, it was pretty spicy and good. Minestrone was a very typical one, some macaroni and veggies, it needed more herbs and spices, I was pouring pepper on it to make it more interesting.. server was pretty polite and fast. I ate in the dining room where there is waiter service, but this place also does delivery and a lot of pick up at the counter orders.. since "Italian" and pizza places are by far the most common type of eating establishment in NJ, I didn't really see anything that made this place stand out from the crowd, it was OK. read more

The staff that helped me were very friendly but $16.60 for the greasiest pizza I've ever had in my entire life was a deal breaker. I won't return. read more

I personally have always loved Joe and John's pizza. It's been my family's go to for awhile now. But that's the only place my stars come in. It seems 90% of the time, their chef cannot get my order correct. I've placed orders online where you can choose to have your toppings on the left side, right side, or on the entire pie. I always get half plain for my daughter as she doesn't like the toppings and won't eat it even if we pull them off. A few times we'd order online, the pizza would have full toppings and we'd have to call to have it corrected. Tonight, we ordered Joe and John's online again. Toppings on one side. I even made sure to add that exact quote in the "special instructions" box to ensure half would be plain without any confusion, that seems to come from when we typically order online. The time was an estimated 30 minutes. It came after an hour (which I'm used to, no biggie) and was half one topping/half the other topping. My SO called back to ask to have it fixed and he said he would pick it up so we wouldn't have to wait. He then overheard the person who made the pizza, argue with the nice lady who answered the phone, demanding we bring the other pizza back. As if we were trying to scam a free pizza? We obviously intended on bringing it back in the first place since it had to be replaced? This will, unfortunately, be the last time we order from them as I'm not sure what I'm going to get when I do. read more

When ever I visit friends in S Jersey we always get pizza's from Joe & John's. I haven't had anything else there so I can't comment on the rest of the menu. All I can say is I love their pizza! I travel from coast to coast and have had the best and worst, this is absolutlely one of my favorites! read more

I love this place. Pizza always good. Went to lunch with mom and got hot veggie wrap. Wow. It was so good. Veggies cooked and seasoned great...fries ordered well done and they were. This place always has great food. read more

Just stopped in for a slice of pizza told the server please make sure its hot sure enough it came out warm the cheese was hardly melted nobody in the place so what's the hurry to get the food out I 'd like to try it for dinner but I hate sending food back no one seems to know the meaning of hot anymore if more people would send their food back maybe it would help read more

I have been to Joe & John's Italian Restaurant many times over the past 2 years. The food is great - this place is much more than just a great pizzeria. One of my favorites on the menu is chicken marsala! Then lemonchella cake and coffee for desert! This place is family owned and operated and the owners make you feel like you are part of the family - very nice personal touch! The decor inside is relaxed and makes me feel like I am in a small family restaurant in Italy. Many thanks to Dominic and Giovana. Excellent!!! read more

This is the best Italian food I have ever had. As an Italian New Yorker I am used to great Italian food and I guarantee you will love this restaurant. Whether you go out for dinner or take out you can be rest assured you and your guests will be pleasantly surprised at the home made taste. Best Lasagna ever, why stay home and make your own sauce when theirs is much better. We also had the ravioli, spaghetti bolognese, and the cheesesteak stromboli with mushrooms which were all amazing. Try it you will love it and there is plenty of free parking in the lot across the street. Thanks for freeing up my Sundays! Ann Marie read more

I love Joe and John's. Especially their personal pizza and their provolone cheese subs. They aren't stingy with the cheese, always lots of it, their half sub fills you up. read more

I never had a problem with this place.. the food was ok and it was something to eat.. well last night I ordered a medium pepperoni pizza, it came and didn't taste bad.. around 230am my stomach started feeling like crap.. I had to jump out of bed and run to the bathroom.. took some pepto and went back to bed.. about an hour later I had to jump up again and run.. after that I got some water and walked around the kitchen.. I didn't even get the water bottle open and I had to run to the bathroom again.. this time sticking my head in the toilet.. after that I laid back down, feeling like crap.. got up again at 830 and had to hit the head again.. I called my doctor and she said it could be a stomach virus.. drink Gatorade and see how you feel tomorrow.. so I asked the wife to go get some.. I called my sister and she told me the same thing happened to her.. so I figured, coincidence that we both got stomach virus in the same night or food poisoning from the pizza since we were the only two that ate it.. I called the pizza place to advise them to check there ingrediants and was told.. unless they get a few more complaints then my sister and me.. they aren't gonna do anything about it.. I am in the food service industry and have been for years.. 1 complaint about food born illness you take serious.. this alone was enough to turn me off this place, the uncaring manner in which the manager spoke.. so I will never go back to this place.. read more

As a customer of 30 plus years at Joe and John's I'm horrified by my experience there today. We ordered 3 wraps and two slices of pizza for the kids. Two of the wraps were buffalo chicken and fairly decent. The third was a chicken parmesan wrap. It was disgusting to say the least. After 2 bites my mom couldn't eat it. It was just covered in sauce with little cheese. It was so saucy that it was impossible to pick up after it sat a few minutes. When we brought it to the waitress's attention she apologized but still left it on the bill. When it was questioned she got Andrew the owner. He was surly and rude. He said this was a restaurant not a place just to try things out. When we explained what was wrong with it he continued to argue with us and said it's the way he liked it and he sold 4 today. I argued that it wasn't his opinion that mattered it was the customer's. He continued to argue. We paid for the lousy wrap and will not go back due to the rude and pompous owner. read more

Great service but poor quality luncheon meats. There was hardened fat in the meat on the Italian it was almost like cartilage.

The food was solidly OK. We ordered pizza, subs, and some fries to go. The pizza was good but nothing fantastic. It was good enough to be alright but not something worth driving across town for. read more

I love Joe and John's. I'm the type that hates extra tomato sauce around the rim of the pizza. This pizza is super cheesy and covers the whole entire pie. I order from Joe and John's often and they deliver super fast. Best pizza around here. read more

Great service great food pizza is amazing the buffulo stromboli and pizza is awesome their wraps are great prices define go there again!!

This place is great. Looks like your typical pizza place. The pizza is good and the sandwiches are so so, but don't let all of that fool you. Skip the pizza and sandwiches and go hungry. The dinners are absolutely fantastic!!!! Original Italian cooking, maybe better than we had in Italy. The veal and seafood are particularly good and very reasonably priced. Bring your own wine because they don't serve liquor. Wish we lived closer so we could go often!! read more

We were staying at a hotel near this restaurant and they recommended this place. We ordered and the waitress named Patty smelled of stale cigarettes. She took our order and when it came it was wrong . She begged us to just EAT IT because the new owner was very mean to her and treated her badly. she needs money badly and he took all her money shifts away. I dont even know what she is talking about. my husband was just like whatever just eat it. and we did the food even though it was wrong was ok. the drama from this waitress was way too much to handle. At the end she didnt give us a check she just told us a total because she said they dont have receipts seemed fishy. I will be trying to contact this owner. when we went back to hotel we recommended they not send people here! if anything order take out!!!! read more
