Amazing pizza and amazing family that makes it!!! It is a must when my siblings come back to town to visit and we often take some to them on our visits. So excited to see the Vitale family growing and opening restaurants all over Illinois and now Indiana too. You have to get extra sauce!!! Simply delicious! read more

I grew up in Paris, and moved away for around 20 years. Each and every time we would come back to visit, we had to get some Joe's Pizza before we left. You honestly do not know what you've got until it is gone. Now, we've moved back to town, and Joe's is our family's go to place! Don't forget to order extra sauce on your pizza, and the baked penne is the absolute best! A big shout out to the Vitale family for all that they do for our community! read more

Ok I love about 3 hours away from this place but was in town for family business. We got stuffed crust pizzas, delivered to our hotel ROOM! Didn't even have to walk down to the lobby! And wow- I've never had the entire CRUST stuffed with cheese- usually it's just the edge! We eat quite a lot of pizza around home, but really want to make another trip to Paris for this amazing pizza Never had anything so awesome! read more

We were staying in an RV campground about 20 minutes away from Paris Illinois and looking for a local meal out. I found Joe's Pizza on Yelp, and it was great! Joe's was friendly and helpful on the phone, happy to do curbside pickup with prepay (we have elderly parents and also had our dogs with us), and the food was just what we were craving. The pizza was great (double cheese, and the sauce was really tasty), cheese-filled Bosco sticks are fun (I had asked for their recommendation of an appetizer), and my husband loved the fried chicken wrap, fries and buffalo bites. Also, the prices are very reasonable. Thanks, Joe's -- we'll see you again next time! read more

This place is awesome, friendly folks, great service, great pizza. I ordered the chicken BBQ, and it tasted great. The place was clean and felt very good about eating there. read more

Joe's Pizza - The Sign - Pizza Near Me - Paris, Illinois

Alright so, this place is not bad. We were seated quickly and the staff was polite. It was rather hard to get any attention from servers though we were in a rather large group. The food was good, pasta with red sauce, though the sauce is extremely sweet, sweeter than red sauce has a right to be. Overall not awful, there is a current charm to the place. read more

As a business traveler and semi frequent visitor to Paris I highly recommend this pizza restaurant. The staff is young and friendly and the service has always been great. The pizza is almost always made the way I like which is with almost no cheese. read more

Delicious hometown pizza! You can't go wrong with any of the items on the menu. Great place for families with or without kids

Listen, before I start with my review, you need to know I love pizza. I love anything Italian. But, Joes sorely disappointed me. I have been in Paris for work the last few weeks. I ran across several places to eat out and thought the look of Joes from the outside was a prime place to try! I walk in and after waiting a bit was seated. The place was not packed, but wasn't terribly slow. Being a former waitress moons ago, it wasn't busy enough that two servers couldn't have handled the tables with exceptional service, none of which I got by my dark haired, pig tailed server. My drink had to come from the blonde haired young lady from the kitchen. The other pig tailed server never brought it prior to my ravioli coming out and the blonde girl brought the ravioli and realized I had no drink. She was the most pleasant out of the three girls there. Helpful as well. Wish I'd known her name to give her accolades. I ordered the ravioli appetizer and an individual pizza. The ravioli was awful. Like store bought, frozen, no taste awful. Don't waste the money. The pizza when finally served was bland. No flavor to the sauce. Nothing to wow me, as even the cheese was blah. It was a night of disappointment all the way around. Lack of decent service and the meal. In all actuality, the tip I left should have gone directly to the blonde girl who was working the kitchen that night, because the only real service I received was from her. Joe's, Italian is what I expected, blah is what I got. Work on the sauce, order flavorful appetizers. Try a different blend of cheese and for everyone's sake, put your blonde lady in as a waitress, the other girl in the kitchen. The service would improve. I much prefer writing good reviews, so get better, make some changes and maybe when I come back to Paris I can visit and give a more positive one! read more

The inside looks substantially better that the outside. The outside looks like a hole in the wall. The inside is really light and modern. Something I think most of Paris is lacking. The staff was really nice. Smiled a lot. I had to give this place 4 stars though. I'm a bit of a pizza snob. The pizza here tastes like Little Ceasars. I really wanted to like it. Everyone said it was really good. It was just ok. I would recommend this place. Great staff. Great atmosphere. Ok food. read more

I have grown up on this food.... I am from this town..... I love food.... and JOES is the BEST!!!!! My recommendations, 1. Garlic bread with cheese and sauce. 2. Veal parmigan with spaghetti and add the three meatballs to top it off! (Treat yourself!). You'll be back. 3. Any pizza I've ever ordered is great.... believe it or not, I sometimes order shrimp, garlic, and anchovies on my pizza. I know it's not everyone's choice but it works for real.... first time we ordered it like that was to keep others from eating our pizza. After we had it, we loved it. Give this place a shot. But the Veal parm dinner is the way to go. Ask for chees on the garlic bread that comes with it. Enjoy!!!! read more

Absolutely awesome! Their thin and crispy crust has spices in the crust. Interesting and delicious!

I have delivery came to me from there to my motel room and the food that I oder from there was delicious

The service was awesome very pleasant and professional and the food was even better I can't wait to go back and enjoy their yummy pizza again read more

I only get my Joe's about once a year but it never disappoints. I ate half the xl myself I think and as the night wore on everybody kept snagging pieces until it was gone. I even got a "good call" on bringing Joe's. Extra sauce is a nice touch too. Even considering getting another dose but the veal parm this time. Keep it up fellas. read more

They used to be fantastic but quality and expediting have diminished substantially. I'm not sure why this is, but with the dishes they've been serving they would be laughed out of Italy. Clearly incompetent across the board. The inside looks nice though! read more

Friendly staff, great food, diverse menu and the best pizza sauce i've ever tasted. Family owned and operated, the Vitale's bring a true touch of Italy to this small midwest town. read more

BEST pizza I've ever had!! The pizza sauce is amazing, I always ask for extra. This pizza place is family owned and the service is always great as well. Of all the places I've lived, I'll always crave this pizza. Hands down the best! read more

Just had the lunch buffet, don't waste your money. Pizza was cold, only 2 kinds on the buffet so if you don't like pepperoni or sausage then you are out of luck. No traditional pasta, just mac and cheese and some nasty pasta with brown sauce? How about having some pasta with spaghetti sauce or alfredo? Dessert was terrible, old chocolate chip cookies. Salad bar small. Joes has good pizza but buffet is sadly lacking read more

Best pizza in the world! Best sauce you will ever taste! Delivery is a little slow at times but the wait is worth it. Fare prices, not to expensive. Location is kinda hard to find for someone who's from out of town but that can't be helped. I love me some joes pizza! read more

Good pizza if you like sauce a little on the sweet side. Bosco sticks were good but disappointed they didn't have nacho cheese for dipping. Got carry out but the inside wasn't anything fancy. All in all pizza always ok but as expensive as it was there are other options. read more

I've tried the pizza, bread sticks, bosco sticks. And lunch buffet. The bosco sticks are the best tasting thing on the menu so far. Their sauce is sweet and unique to most pizza restaurants. Service was good each time I've been to Joes. I have tried to go to Joes for lunch and they were closed (when the door hours say otherwise). This is typical of family-ran businesses. read more

Nothing compares to this pizza! Get extra sauce and cheese plus your toppings of choice. The pizza sauce alone makes this a worthwhile trip. read more

This was my fist time ordering at joes. I ordered a large pizza and pizza sticks. The dough tasted old and tough and the pizza was underdone and it Cost $30! I was very disappointed. read more

I'm a fan and so are most of the people I know in this area. In our small town, there are already 4 pizza places, not counting the 2 Casey stores. But Joe's stands out. Rated as one of the top pizza restaurants in Illinois (along with Poppa Del's in Champaign) I just can't get enough of it. Thanks to the Vitale family for their constant and untiring quest to serve the best quality pizzas around. read more

Hands down best pizza ever. I have always had great service from the staff. I have ate joes pizza for years and my whole family loves it. I compare every pizza I eat to joes and nothing compares to joe's. read more

I've ordered from Joe's for five years and in December something changed. Thin crispy crust has become soggy and chewy. I changed next order to Italian beef, soggy, with crispy fries. I received decent sandwich but fries were from couple days ago and luke-warm. I have never had worse fries. I live close and cannot go out so my deliveries are quick and food hot. I have never had an issue with that until my fries last night. I consider the delivery drivers to be very professional and friendly but the cooking has gone down. I think I shall be looking for new restaurant. read more

Remarkably poor service from high school kids who couldn't care less. Throw some basil in ketchup and you too can have Joe's Pizza at home! Their toppings look like they were cut with a samurai sword. All around a disappointing experience. It's only the best pizza you've ever had if you've never been anywhere else. read more

Yes, this is as good as it gets. My husband LOVES lasagna, and they have awesome sauce! Pizza sauce is different than their pasta; however both are quite good. Salads are fresh and the bread is wonderful! I am originally from Indy and have feasted on Italian in Chicago --- Joe's can hold them! read more

Took my family to Joes pizza for the first time. The restaurant looked very nice on inside. Everything was fine until we got our dinner. I ordered the veal Parma, which tasted frozen only had a fork to cut it with, and garlic bread tasted rotten! My wife and kids ordered fettuchini alfredo the alfredo sauce was so watered down you could pour it off noodles. I will give this place credit,they had almost a full dining room. This will be first and last time eating at this establishment. read more

The first time I went there it tasted like I was eating pizza toppings off of frozen cardboard. My money would have been better spent on a Totino's out of the freezer at Kroger's. The last, the very last time I will ever patronize Joe's, I had to wait over an hour for parmesan chicken. I was told twice there would be a slight delay in me getting my order. When 3 parties came in and ordered pizza off the menu AFTER I came in (so I know they weren't called in) and got their food before I got two dinky chicken breasts that had either been boiled or steamed to be defrosted and had sauce and cheese put on them an hour later Basically, if there was a "it sucked" button for this place I would click it. read more
