    Chopped salad - large serving due to abundance of lettuce.
    Lisa N.

    We came here on a whim. We were hungry so we sat down and ordered drinks and calamari. The bread--- absolute highlight of the show! Came with oil, parm and some seasoning already mixed. Yummm!!! Really if you're a bread snob, this was worth the seating. The calamari ($19) was really underwhelming. The sauce was a little off and the calamari was short of nothing special. I ordered the chopped salad. I don't eat bacon so I subbed bacon for cucumbers. It was a generous salad but 90% was lettuce and only a 10% everything else. I'm a salad girl, I could eat a salad everyday. This one was okay, but to bump it to the next level, the lettuce to everything else % needs to be a little more even. Everyone, I mean everyone around us ordered pizza. People were walking in and picking up pizza. So this seems to be more of a pizza joint. Next time, that's what we'll go for! They have a great outdoor patio and inside large windows that are open to the air. Great environment and service was very attentive and punctual. We'll be back, just not for the calamari.

    We got mild chicken wings, fried really well and the sauce was amazing. Also tried fried burrata for the first time and yes! that vodka sauce and fried cheese ratio was amazing! For our entrees, I got the braised short rib pasta -- it was cooked well, just not really my preference. My friend had the seafood pasta aka PLATTER! That entree is enough to feed three people, packed with Mediterranean mussels, calamari, Manila clams, and jumbo shrimp! We finished our meal with their chocolate cake and that sealed the deal! The restaurant's ambiance is nice and the service was great!

    Wonderfully delicious birthday dinner for my husband: Filet Medallions seasoned and cooked to perfection, freshly made flavorful Arancini and delicately Fried Calamari. Charming and talented musical duo masterfully singing timeless classics. All bifold windows open and restaurant and patio filled to capacity, overflowing with happiness, chatter, and patrons, all with very pleased tummies. Service always 10/10 with this harmonious Team, that thrives in the busiest times, while efficiently maintaining their standard warm, energetic, engaging qualities. The girls went above and beyond and perfectly timed, and surprised, my reserved husband, with an impromptu birthday singing and his favorite vanilla Cheesecake!! Best of the best!

    I used to love coming to Joe's on Higgins -- it was easily a 5-star spot for the food, ambiance, and service. The food is still solid, and the new patio seating is definitely a plus, adding to the nice ambiance. Unfortunately, the service has really gone downhill. The server we've had multiple times now seems tired of serving and doesn't take feedback well. On more than one occasion, she's ignored us, delayed bringing drinks, and made us feel like we were asking for too much when we simply wanted to enjoy our meal. It's disappointing because this used to be a go-to place, but the attitude and lack of attentiveness from the server take away from the overall experience. I truly hope management addresses this, because Joe's has the potential to get back to the 5-star level it once had.

    Joes is a great pizza place for a drink or two and a great pizza! The service is very friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help with their somewhat unique pizza styles. The place is very clean, plenty of seating, and occasionally some live music. Their pizzas speak for themselves. No matter which style you prefer, they make it to the best of their ability. I've ordered from here many times and you should too!

    3 Cheese thin crust w/mozzarella, Parmesan & ricotta cheeses add sausage & mushrooms on a thin crust garlic dough

    07/15/23 - Last night I went here w/my wife. I heard about Joe's Pizza from my sister & have been wanting to check it out. They are located on Higgins close to Jefferson Park. Evidently this is a different location then the one my sister ate at as they have been at this location about 8 weeks. We ordered a white pizza on an excellent thin crust pizza that has 3 cheeses, mozzarella, Parmesan & ricotta cheeses. We also asked for sausage & mushrooms on it. The crust was exceptional as was the pizza. While the pizza was awesome the service was not very good. We waited over 15 minutes until a server came up and took our order. The pizza seemed to take a very long time (approximately 30 minutes) considering it was a thin crust I thought it might be quicker. After we finished I aske 3 different people for the check. The first woman said she would bring it then continued around the restaurant helping other customers. The second was our server who was cute and very friendly but same thing I asked for a box and the bill & she said she would bring it and continued around the restaurant going to other tables. I was beginning to think they were going to comp us the pizza (yeah right). While I absolutely loved their thin crust cheese pizza I felt their service wasn't very good. Would I come back again probably as the pizza was excellent. I give them 5 stars for the food but deduct a star for their slow service

    Food and service at this new location are great! My 2nd time visiting this month. My favorite appetizer is the Arinchini.

A slice is a lot but it's so good that you end up eating more. You can also reserve via Tock, but beware that the normal dinner time can be booked out early!

I make better salads and dressings! We ordered a large pan pizza which was overly salty with burnt crust edges. The cheese and tomato sauce were really good, but the saltiness killed it for me. The place was packed and very noisy. Not sure if it was quieter on the second floor. When you have lots of customers, it's important to have a system of checking the status of the restrooms very often. They were quite neglected. We often have out-of-town and foreign guests to host and show off our city to. We always include a deep dish pizza meal for their experience, and usually at Lou Malnati's. Always a great experience, especially the branch in downtown Naperville- consistently good. And Lou's really makes the best salad than anywhere! Sometimes for a potluck contribution I just pick up a Lou's salad, guaranteed to make everyone happy. However, our guests enjoyed the pizza and dessert; thus, I can give 3 stars for our experience at Pequod's.

Big bang buffalo- standard buffalo. Can't go wrong. Hot honey- pretty good, honey flavor, some sweetness Garlic galaxy glaze- this is really good if you like garlic flavor. I would get this again. Bayou in the sky- super super good. I would get this again. Hint of spice, hint of sweet. Carolina bbq- tasted like straight deli mustard. I would pass. The pizza, even though they advertise Detroit Style pizza, their take is more like Focaccia style pizza. They provide nice crunch, not enough sauce. Pretty airy dough. Drooling mushroom- they offer lots of mushrooms on top but the rest of the pizza was not too great. Next time, I would get Ham Radio- pepperoni, bacon, sausage, got and sweet pepper.

So delicious After getting it, my buddy had to get one too haha One of us had the moonwalk cheese, we go out for a lot of pizza together, and he said it was he thought his favorite of anywhere. Another one of our crew got the pepperoni pile up loved. And I got the sweet and salty space candy pizza With bacon, pineapple, pickled red onion, goat cheese, sambal. Genius, the goat cheese, instead of ricotta was the move for this pizza! All the flavors worked in perfect harmony.Nothing short of amazing.
