03/29/26 Update: Food quality has declined. Went for take out pizza which was totally burnt. Pic below. Very disappointing. Rest of food was mediocre.
Okay let's get right to it! The best way to describe John the Baker is Elevated home style Italian. Upon walking in, we were greeted by our server Jessica who was very nice and attentive without being over bearing. She sat us quickly and gave us the space to relax and figure out what we wanted to order. She even offered crayons to my toddler which showed me this is a very kid friendly and thought out place for families. We decided to keep it simple and ordered the garlic rolls and a half cheese/half sausage and cheese pizza. The garlic rolls were INSANELY GOOD! I am sure you have been to an Italian restaurant that had the same old, frozen garlic rolls that are usually drenched in so much sauce that it gives the garlic roll a muddy taste, this was nothing like that! I did not ask, but these garlic rolls looked as if they were made in house with the perfect crust on the outside and the soft slightly chewy inside, not overly seasoned with garlic and oil, but made to perfection. I was pleasantly surprised to see this quality of garlic rolls! As far as the pizza, it tasted great was cooked well and hit the spot. Since we got a pizza with not as many toppings, considering our toddler, there was not much more I could say, but it was a great pizza and I hope to come back and try some of the other pizza offerings. If you are looking for a high-quality Italian restaurant without breaking the bank, Jon the Baker is your spot ! Consider yourself told.
Hubby and I just happened to be in the plaza on a Friday evening when I spotted this place. I'd heard of it before but never tried it. I was starving, and pizza sounded like the perfect move. We ordered the 12-inch meatball pizza and two garlic rolls. The window boasted "world-famous" rolls, so of course I had to put them to the test. The server told me it'd be ready in 15 minutes. It took about 17, so not bad at all. Now let's talk about that pizza... SO GOOD. The cheese pull was giving everything it needed to give! And those garlic rolls? Definitely living up to the hype. Soft, flavorful, and perfectly buttery. I originally ordered to go, but the food smelled too good, so we sat down and ate right out the box. Shoutout to the friendly staff . They even offered us a plates when they saw us digging in! It's clearly a local favorite. Plenty of people dining in and picking up takeout. Lots of space to sit. I spent about $20 and left full and happy. I'd definitely go back!
I've tried all the pizza in Coral Springs so I consider myself an aficionado. John's is the best and the rest should be taking notes. The crust is perfect, the pepperoni is non negotiable, and they use enough cheese to clog your arteries in a good way. $23.50 for a large in this economy is nothing short of a miracle. It's a good pie.
John the Baker is a gem of a family-run Italian restaurant that's been serving up delicious pies and Italian classics since 1960 and it shows in all the best ways. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and, to our surprise, it wasn't very busy at first (a rare treat!), but it steadily picked up as we enjoyed our meal. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Jessica, who was incredibly sweet, attentive, and all smiles. Her energy set the tone for our entire experience. The first thing that caught my eye was the kid-drawn artwork proudly displayed on the walls such a thoughtful and fun touch. My toddler immediately noticed it too, and Jessica didn't miss a beat. She brought over crayons and paper to keep my daughter entertained little did she know she'd end up entertaining all three of us! The menu is small, but don't let that fool you it took me a while to choose because everything sounded amazing. We ended up ordering a family-sized sausage and cheese pie and a side of garlic rolls. Let me just say, those garlic rolls were out of this world clearly made in house, fresh, fluffy, and packed with flavor. As my husband and I sat there, we both commented on how this place strikes a perfect balance between cozy and current. It has that warm, homestyle feel you want from a pizzeria, but with a fun, modern twist that makes it stand out. It's no surprise they have such great reviews. Whether you're with your family, your little ones, or even dining solo you'll be well taken care of here. We'll definitely be back!
Needed a bite later into the evening and was glad to come across this place! Service was great and food came out quickly for our party. Everything was smothered in garlic and oil to my delight from the rolls to the sliders and pizza. I'm no pizza connoisseur so I can't judge whether this was "authentic" or of similar quality to other places nearby, though the pizza was a bit undercooked in my opinion with everything falling apart and I do wish there were more toppings included in a specialty pizza. Overall I'd be willing to give this place another try and come with a group again!
we had a little food tour on Saturday night so the hubs wanted to try out a little 12 inch snack. the pizza is the perfect size for one person or if you just want a snack like us. it was hot and cooked perfectly. the crust was my favorite part i thought the pizza was a tad salty for my taste but my husband loved it
I've ordered take out from JTB before but have never had a dine in experience and didn't know this was even an option, until this weekend. We had a party of 6, 3 adults & 3 kids.. what a great spot for families. We felt very comfortable and welcomed. High chairs were available and clean and the kids menu was great and very reasonably priced! My daughter ate her whole pasta plate. We ordered meatball sliders to start, very delicious and being served on their garlic rolls gives the taste a whole new level! We also got a hot honey pizza, which was very much enjoyed, as well as baked ziti and eggplant parm. My daughter (4) is already asking to go back! We will be back very soon!
We have ordered from here before, and it was good, I guess I never remembered to write this well deserved four stars review. Picked up a great pizza last night. Half Bacon half Sausage. Sweaty salty meats made it a bit salty, but the cheese to sauce ratio and the cheese used made the "Orange Slice" pizza.
One of the better Italian meals I've had in the area. My wife and I stopped in as they were opening for the day on a weekend and had the place to ourselves. The staff were super friendly and attentive. We saw a sign to try their famous garlic rolls and it was probably the best one I ever had. The pizza was very good as well. We got a half cheese and half pepperoni pie. I like how they bake the pepperoni in underneath a partial layer of cheese. Everything about this meal was super tasty, even our side of ranch was really good. The whole meal wasn't even very expensive either. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.
I stopped by this restaurant on a whim as my husband and I happened to be in the area and I'm really glad we did! We were the only customers as it was fairly early in the day though the restaurant itself was large and had plenty of seating. We saw a sign outside about their "famous garlic rolls" and had to get two to try- they were the biggest garlic knots I've ever seen and were very fluffy and fresh! I do wish we asked for marinara sauce to go with it but it was still tasty nonetheless. We also got a large half cheese half pepperoni pizza and were surprised to see they put their pepperoni underneath the cheese! I thought the pizza was very good overall and our waitress was very friendly as well. I noticed they have really great food specials during the week and wish we lived close enough to take advantage. We will definitely be back next time we head to this area!
Ordered the large cheese pizza. It was delicious would definitely recommend this place for pizza
Had a quick bite at John Baker. I'm always around this area and I was going to hop into another restaurant in the plaza, but then that my curiosity caught up to me and I entered on the Baker as I was also in the mood for pizza. Me and another person shared a medium meat, lovers pizza pie, as well as a small side of Alfredo penne pasta. Not sure which meal it came with, but we also got complementary garlic rolls that were huge one per person. Casual sitdown environment. Service was swell. I would return for a quick casual bite. read more

I picked up a large cheese pizza from John the Baker, hoping it is as good as their Pembroke Pines location. It was very good. I had ordered the pizza by phone and mentioned I wasn't far away when quoted 20-30 minutes. The guy said he would put a rush on it which was very nice. I arrived and saw how busy they are. The meals looked delicious. I always get the lasagna at their other location, so I know how good their food is. Everyone else's food looked good. I need to try some other entrees. My pizza was ready within just a few minutes I was able to pay quickly. The restaurant looked immaculate. I will definitely stop here for a pie again when I am in this area. read more

Hands down, one of the best slices of pizza I've had since living in FL. It is comparable to the great NY city slices you'd find at some local spots. I didn't get to visit the restaurant but we did take out in our office today, we had a variety. Each were fresh, flavorful and they surly do not skimp on the toppings. Each pizza had a generous amount of pepperoni, cheese, and sausages. The garlic rolls were a hit, large and super fluffy! I'll definitely be visiting the restaurant in person soon. read more

I was in the same shopping center as John The Baker and decided to pick up dinner here. I know and like their food in Pembroke Pines. This store has different owners. It is franchisesd. The food overall was consistent. I do think the lasagna at the Pembroke Pines store is a bit better. The pasta in the lasagna here was a little overcooked here. This wasn't a huge deal. I ordered the meatballs which I don't think I tried at the other store. The meatballs were good and even better with the sauce spooned over them. I love the garlic rolls. They are always delicious. They are not too oily. The food is reasonably priced and pretty good quality. The staff was very nice and the restaurant looked clean. read more

We came here for a casual dinner with friends. So we did enjoy the meal, but more so due to the company and good conversation. They give you a basket of rolls -- either plain or garlic. I liked the plain ones better. We started with a salad to share. The Gorgonzola salad was just okay. A lot of romaine, some large tomato wedges, and black olives and a few cheese crumbles. It came with two small containers of balsamic vinaigrette. We also ordered a medium pizza with bacon and mushrooms. The pizza was decent, but the cheese was totally covering the top. The cheese covered the toppings. We could taste some bacon, but not any mushrooms. As we were with another couple, we didn't complain. Our friends had a personal size white pizza and a (very) sloppy sausage sub. They started with a burrata salad. Service was friendly but the gal was a bit harried. She was waiting on everyone and taking phone and pickup orders all at the same time. I'm glad we came to try them Now we know. read more

I've only had takeout from this place so I can't speak to the ambiance. I will say this , every time I've ordered pizza and garlic rolls they have been on point! Food arrives well packaged and pizza box carries a seal. If you like thin crust ... this is the place! I love that their takeout menu offers many options so you can personalize your order the way you like it. read more

I took the day off from work and decided to bring my mom here for a treat. We are a part of the Pembroke Pines family. The garlic rolls are a must have. You will love them if you like pillowy yeast bread drenched in garlic and oil. Camila was our server and she was a doll. She made us feel like teenagers by calling us girls. The pizza is delicious and I forgot to take a picture of the chicken franchaise. Both are exactly made to my taste. The interior is no frills and looks like ice cream shop seating. read more
We met friends here for dinner this evening. A large pizzeria with pasta, salads , subs and offer beer and wine. We chose a medium pizza with bacon and mushrooms. We also ordered a Gorgonzola salad. The salad was good but I was hoping for a pinch more Gorgonzola cheese on the salad. Our pizza was good but i did not notice any mushrooms present in the slices of the pie i had. read more

I happen to pass by this place as it is on the same plaza where I was getting my massage. I've heard of this place from a family member that lives in Miramar, as they have a location down there. So I gave it a try!! As soon as I walked in I was welcomed which was definitely a nice feeling. I was provided a menu and I ordered take-out. Food was ready within 15 minutes. Here is what we ordered and loved: Cheese Pizza Garlic Knots Ceaser Salad read more

4 delicious meals, lasagna, baked ravioli, sausage and peppers and meatball pizza--great service by Jessica who patiently cared about my very elderly parents, outstanding garlic rolls, and quite fair pricing. The place was busy. Well, I came again, and will go back again and again. Today, I ordered eggplant rolatini and baked ziti. Absolutely delicious. And Jessica was there and remembered me. It's amazing to have, not only, great food, but amazingly friendly staff. Go meet Jessica and say I sent you. She and the food are awesome. read more

The chicken parm is VERY good! I get it every time I go here. The garlic rolls are okay - my toothbrush smelled like garlic and butter so badly that I had to throw it away and the butter soaks through the to-go bag leaving butter everywhere. They were not very flavorful. There is also a great ice cream place next door! read more
