First time here. We opted to try the NY style pizza this time and will try the Chicago next I am a big fan of the mother of all pizzas, the Margherita. It is also the pizza that defines the skills of the pizzaiolo who is preparing pizzas. A ton of toppings like peppers, pineapple etc can turn a symphony into noise w hodge podge flavor mashup that hides the skills or lack of the pizzaiolo. There is no hiding of deficiencies when preparing a Margherita. That said, I found the pizza to be of good quality, about 7/10, compared to Ny/NJ pizzas that I grew up with. Not sure but it tasted and looked like the cheese used here was more a scamorza not classic fresh mozzarella. Pretty good mouth feel and melted stringiness, but a tad too salty for me. The fresh mozzarella is sweeter and does not fully melt into the sauce in a classic Margherita. The sauce was spot on mild and not herb forward like so many " Italian" sauces are. In Italy the sauce is used sparingly and seasoned only with salt garlic and basil. The crust was good, not great. Very nicely baked w even browning on bottom. It could have been better if the top was bubblier and crispier near perimeter. Service was prompt and courteous. Prices are in line with the area. It's not a huge place so reservations should be considered if your group is on a schedule. read more

We've been going to JM's for a few years with our daughter who just turned 4 on the date of this review. We order a NY pepperoni and a Ditka (for myself) and we usually get salad, tiramisu/cannoli's. AMAZING food, service, atmosphere in person always. Never had ordered out. Long story of why but we ordered a "timed delivery" via toast/uber for her birthday party at home - and closer to party time I notice the uber delivery time is climbing 20, 30, 40+ minutes. Figure it might be a fluke but reach out and restaurant immediately is like, we got this, let us fix it, don't worry about it. Get a call back immediately and the restaurant solves delivery exactly on time, above and beyond what is a complicated situation for the business. Long way of saying, we're already believers/customers for life before this. The food and service for in person is amazing. There's a bit of a wild card for businesses supporting third party delivery, it obviously helps reach their customers but can throw curveballs - Johnny Mo's has an exemplary level of commitment to solving these things. If you haven't had the deep dish and/or the new york, its great. I'm from Chicago and I love New York style. There's a lot of great pizza, not a tremendous amount of great pizza in Seattle, and JM's is one of my go-to's. To have it be family/kid friendly, always able to snag a table or reservation and have amazing food/staff/service... rare thing. Great drinks, fantastic desserts. read more

Deep dish pizza is a MEAL. But also we got the pasta too because why not, and completely over ate because we lack self control and this is great food. The balance of the pizza was just what I was looking for. It had a substantial bread base, a great spicy sweet sauce, and cheese with that perfect pull. The meat toppings we got (pep/saus) tasted higher quality that what you get elsewhere, real flavor in each bite. Pasta was delicious too, cooked to the right chew, good flavorful sauce. Skillet cookie will get my repeat business (I've had better but this is in the top 10 and I have looooots on my list). Everything here was worth a return visit or two with a helpful waiter and a cozy chill-but-tavern-like vibe. Come here hungry...but also I ate slices warmed up in the microwave for two days after and they remained super delicious because you aren't ptotecting a crust. The crust has already lost to the sauce on day one, and I love it. read more

A solid neighborhood joint for NYish pizza. Seating was fairly easy to get even on a Saturday night although it did really fill up in the time we were there. Lots of drink options but cocktails and beer and an even bigger menu of pizza options. They offer both NY style and Chicago deep dish, though we only tried the NY version this time. The thunderbird was a favorite at the table with a tasty vodka sauce and delicious pepper toppings. read more

4 instead of 5 just because the prices were way higher than I remember them to be. Were used to expensive food in Seattle but this was a little bit out of the norm. $76+ for one pizza, 2 beers and a martini. That said, it's delicious and my favorite pizza place in Washington! read more

Craving Alfredo and the Caesar I enjoyed so much, I came back to avoid cooking and sit out the ridiculous traffic we've been dealing with due to the express lane BS. Sadly, they "don't have fettuccine or Alfredo" according to my server; but recommended their vodka pasta for you to consider. I went with the spinach pasta and changed the marinara to pesto. It was super good and a nice mix of garlic, greens, and penne pasta. Pleasantly oily, not overwhelming (so common to screw that up in my experience), and nicely custardy. Very satisfying. I totally had a carb binge, but balanced by that consistently good salad, it makes me feel better about it. A side note, the environment is very comfortable and I enjoy being there. I've had great luck w the the staff. They're welcoming and attentive. read more

I was into trying a new (to me) deep dish spot so we came here. The pizza tasted good. It wasn't bad at all. Let's say that upfront. I would give it 3.5 overall if I could. 1. Pizza was watery. Kind of a mess compared to other deep dish I've liked - West of Chicago, Windy City, Patxi (RIP), Lou Malnati (okay, not local), etc. Tasted fine but not amazing and we didn't want to take the more than 1/2 pie home. It's probably 3.5 for me. I wish I had done the non-deep dish, actually, because it looks better. 2. Garlic knots - these were a 2. Kind of oddly spicy and the seasoning I didn't love. I like them more basic. Not terrible but could have given them a pass. 3. Parking - there isn't any. It is kind of a cluster of a corner and no real street parking, so that's a negative We also had a house salad. It was fine. The service sitting at the bar was friendly and attentive so that was a plus. They had said 40 mins for the pizza but it was quicker. Overall, it is pretty okay. I maybe wouldn't go back because I didn't love the deep-dish and the parking is tough, but I wouldn't turn it down if someone took me. read more

Really tasty chicago style pizza! My husband and I came here on a Thursday night for dinner. We easily found free street parking and were able to get seated right away. Ambiance is pretty casual. They've got plenty of indoor and outdoor tables. Service was really friendly. Food: + Sweetie Pie - Chicago style pizza (takes about 20-30 minutes to come out), but seriously this pizza was some of the best Chicago style pizza I've had! The ratio was really good and the tomato sauce was so tasty! Loved everything about it! + Cookie with ice cream - this one fell short but they also ran out of the ice cream last minute so they kindly just gave us the cookie on the house. Their cookie wasn't very sweet, but I'd imagine with the ice cream, it's spectacular. The cookie is more on the cakey side but still a nice treat to end the meal. I will definitely be back for more of their Chicago style pizza when the craving hits! read more

It was by chance that we walked into this pizzeria after a walk around the arboretum. This is now the only pizza I want to eat (and we eat a LOT of pizza). We live 20 minutes north in Wedgewood, and we pay a crazy amount for a delivery fee just so we can get this one. Absolutely delicious... Garlic bread, salads, all of their pizzas. Treat yourself to some Johnny Mo's. read more

Johnny Mo's Pizzeria delivered some excellence during our dine-in experience. First, there was a table outside, and their small but lovely outside dining experience is amazing. Second, we had an amazing server, Alex, who came by often and made us feel like truly valued guests. Third, the menu - it's HUGE - and we found something for everyone in our group. Fourth, the food - it's actually GREAT. Each item was thoughtfully prepared, with very unique ingredients, so that you have, say, 'wings', or 'salad', or 'pizza', but it's NOT like what you've had elsewhere before. The portions are also very thoughtful and the wine list is great. If you're looking for a lovely meal, with great staff, great portions, and thoughtful menu items - this is it! read more

My boyfriend and I came here because we were craving some deep dish pizza and were recommended this place from a coworker. We came around lunch time, and it was super empty in the place - no waiting needed! The server was really nice to us and gave us some recommendations, so we got one of the ones she recommended. Overall, the pizza was solid - would definitely recommend eating at the place when it is nice and hot. Otherwise, the pizza gets colder and the overall experience of the pizza isn't as great. Doesn't match up to the pizzas in Chicago, but to get a small taste here in Seattle, I think it's pretty good! read more

We were craving a pepperoni pizza and Caesar salad, and Yelp suggested we check out Johnny Mo's. It was a five star experience in all areas. The food was solid and service was prompt and professional. We'll be back for sure. read more

Why 4 stars? Because this was pretty close to exactly what we were looking for. --- --- --- Planning a trip into Seattle, I bookmarked a million highly rated restaurants, but ended up choosing Johnny Mo's because of its proximity to a nearby bike shop. My friend and I wanted to rent bikes and Johnny Mo's was about a 12 minute walk from said shop. And according to Street View, the walk was across a scenic bridge. Sold! While I probably would have preferred Chicago-style pizza, my friend made a good point: it's not the ideal pre-biking meal. Plus, we were starving and those tend to take a while to bake. So we ordered an 18" NY style, half and half with very different toppings. I just ordered Prosciutto on my side and enjoyed it. It actually WAS the ideal pre-biking meal. If I lived in the area, I would definitely be back! read more

We got the citrus salad, the mo meat deep dish, and Lu's sweet and savory to share. Everything was ok! We weren't mad at the meal but some observartions - the citrus was canned, and I felt the crust was stale on both pizzas.

We tried this place for the first time on a Friday night and getting reservations and being seated were a breeze. They have some nice cocktails on the menu and New York or Chicago style pizzas to choose. Previous reviews made us a bit wary of the deep dish but the Chicago style pizza with spinach (added chicken) came out superb! It was not soggy at all, the blend of spinach, cheese and chicken was a good choice. Between the 2 of us it was perfect and we had a piece left over. Would highly recommend parking a block before or 2 as it's near an intersection that has no parking. read more

We got an 18" pizza, half Jack's BBQ (pretty spicy, I'd say a 3/5 spicy, and 2/5 is my personal limit) and half Owen's meat lover (the sausage was nearly a 2/5 spicy but the rest of the pizza was mild). Ordered for pickup so no waiting at the restaurant, thankfully! We ate 6 of the 8 slices for dinner. read more

I would say two things stood out. Your sauce was just awful. It tasted like simople tomatoes. Very dull. Worst thing is I had to pay $40 for a medium ny style pizza. Worst value Ive had in years. I wont be coming back. When I want pizza I want some actual sausage, and a combination of veggies and meats. Just couldn't stand what I got. read more

This place is decent, and I will return, just not super excitedly. The apps are decent, and the pizza is good; the vegan cheese they use is the only one I've ever found that I actually like! But the pasta is the most generic/basic out there (not in a good way), and the service is the definition of subpar. They took forever to bring us our check, and they never refilled my soda. The biggest issue is that the kitchen can't manage its timing well to save its life. Multiple times, there has been an unacceptable amount of time between most of the table being served their food and the last person having to wait way too long for theirs. Combine that with an annoying, but allowable, credit card surcharge (trying to avoid taxes?), and I rather want to give my business to MOD than Johnnie Mo's. read more

How I heard of this place: Visiting my sister-in-law, she ordered take-away from Johnny Mo's and it was our first time enjoying their New York style pizzas. Type of cuisine: New York and Chicago style pizzas served in one location - get what you love! Ambiance: (As we ordered for delivery, I wasn't able to see the space, itself, but look forward to a return visit.) What I ordered: Cheesy Garlic Bread ($12), 14" Lu's Sweet and Savory ($29) - mozzarella with a truffle oil base, small dollops of pesto and fig, roasted garlic, crushed walnuts, gorgonzola cheese, pears, vinaigrette glaze and light parmesan around the crust, and 14" Arugula Bianca ($27) - mozzarella, roasted garlic, prosciutto, and Parmigiano-Reggiano, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and topped with baby arugula. What I loved: Each of the pizzas offered a lovely, freshness - with the arugula atop to the vinaigrette glaze - amidst the melty, cheesy goodness. Why I loved it: The flavors are novel and interesting, delicious and well balanced. Cost: High read more

Definitely deserves a drop in especially if you're in the area! read more

Johnny Mo's Pizzeria Saw that there were Chicago and New York style pizzas served here, so decided to bunk up here and eat a bit to wait for the notorious Seattle rain to stop pouring. I ultimately decided on a Chicago deep dish. I got the Bethany's special (29): mozzarella, roasted garlic, pineapple, pepperoni, topped with homemade tomato sauce. It was a pretty good dish. A bit saltier than I would've preferred, but very filling and with a very crunchy and not too doughy crust. There was a lot of cheese but wish there was a bit more pineapple and pepperoni. I gotta try deep dish in Chicago one day read more

My friends and I wanted to try this place and given the Yelp ratings, I was kinda disappointed. The online ordering system is pretty easy and it was ready by the time we got there. The guy that was helping us was pretty nice and offered paper plates and utensils for our take out orders. Parking does suck though. We ordered the following: The Greek deep dish - the crust wasn't crisp enough so it was soft. I couldn't really tell it was a Greek pizza as the filling was not as strong. The cheese for me had some issues. My first bite I was able to do a cheese pull, but after, the cheese just stick together. At the end, the cheese just separate from the pizza all together. New york hint of discovery 14 in - I think this is more of a regular pizza for me, not new York style. It was decent, flavor was ok as well. Citrus salad - standard Overall it was ok, not the best. Also a little small for the price. I'm glad to have tried it but mostly likely won't be back. read more

Got here on a Saturday night and was seated right away. A good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Their pizzas are 10" - 18", and they do not sell by the slice either. We got both a NY style and a Chicago deep dish! The NY style was fantastic; the crust was perfectly crispy on the outside while chewy on the inside. I originally thought my pizza was under-seasoned, but as soon as I put a bit of parmesan cheese on top, it was perfect. I've never been the biggest fan of Chicago style, but this was probably the better ones that I've had. There was a good ratio of tomato to dough, and the crust was again, perfectly crispy. It was my brother's first time having deep dish, and he loved it. Be warned though, Chicago style will be a 40 min wait! I appreciated that in our to go boxes, they put a slip of tin foil on the bottom to prevent the box from getting greasy. No parking lot, so we had to do street parking a couple blocks down. Totally worth the short walk though! read more

Yes, the (current) parking situation isn't great, but if you don't mind a short walk, it's totally manageable.

This was one of the worst dining experiences in recent memory. A nice attentive waitress greeted me and was friendly professional. Soon after I got my beer and appetizer, one of the employees walked in front of my outside table. He was wet and muddy filthy, front and back (Looked like he was working in a sewer) and his boots were covered in mud. He proceeded to take off his boots and bang the dirt off his boots and talked to another employee about how dirty he was and she offered him an apron (All right in front of me while trying to eat.). He then went just behind me, maybe 2' away and was pushing a bunch of dirt around on the floor. I could smell him and the filth. It was like I was not even there. Then the food. Jalapeño poppers were tasty but seemed to be slapped together with prosciutto just ripped into chunks and thrown on top. looked bad and seemed like a place that just does not care. I ordered the Calzone and it looked good and crispy but when I stated to cut off a piece I realized it was soft top and bottom and the bottom was completely soaked through with grease and was like a sponge. Since no one came around to check on how my food was or if I needed anything I went o the bar to ask for a bill as I wanted to get out ASAP. The manager presented the bill and I mentioned that I did not appreciate the employee hanging around my table with wet filthy clothes talking about it and cleaning his boots. Manager did not apologize or seem to understand how disgusting that was for a customer. he said he would talk to the employee. Lastly, I was there during happy hour and the bill did not give me the happy hour prices. read more

This is the absolute best pizza I have ever had. We've only had their NY pizza so far but also look forward to trying the Chicago deep dish pizza.

I'm dropping this place to two stars because they just made their pizzas a whole lot more expensive. I go to re-order and it won't go through, and the reason is suddenly all those toppings now cost $3-3.50 each. Those pizzas were just a straight $20 and I could add as many as I wanted. The pizza was good it wasn't excellent, and for these prices I won't be ordering from here anymore. read more

It's always nice when you can visit a local jaunt in Seattle and immediately cross it off the list for repeat visits. That was my experience tonight when I visited the should-be-named "Johnny Less's." First red flag? I was checking for a place to eat earlier tonight and found Johnny Less's. Hmm. Maybe I'll take a chance. I check the online menu on their site - Classic Cheese Chicago Pizza, $23. Da Ditka Classic, $26. Okay, Looks okay. I walk in, sit down, and look at the menu and realize the "in house" prices are at least $3.00 more. Classic Cheese Chicago Pizza, $26. Da Ditka, $29. Amazing, I opt for the small NY Cheese with italian sausage (+ $3.50) and a Diet Coke. Pizza comes, looks good - but where's the sausage? Most of it was gathered near the crust with nothing in the body. Hmm. Weird. I taste it, and the sausage was acutally pretty good (what was there) and the pizza overall wasn't horrible, but hardly worth making a trip for. No big deal. I've had worse. I finish my Diet Coke and my server brings me another. I go to pay, and I see I was charged for two Diet Cokes. I figured it must be a mistake since I know of NO restaurant outside of Calcutta that charges for a refill on a Diet Coke; here, I'm being charged $6.00 for the two. I ask my server (who, let's be clear here, was awesome and attentive the entire time). He said, "Yeah, my manager told us we have to charge for soda refills." Wow - what a great manager! Reels you in with cheaper prices online then nickel and dimes you when you show up. Thankfully, I didn't ask for an extra napkin since I'm sure that would have been another $2.00. Now, as I stated, the server was AWESOME and said, "I can take it off for you if you'd like." Nope. No way. This server was awesome and there is no way I'm going to get him in trouble just because his manager trained at the Third Reich School of Restaurant Management. I told him to leave it on and I'll pay for it. Ridiculous. Who charges for a soda refill? (Johnny Less's is the answer to that riddle). Are the other pizzas good? I have no idea, but the Ditka is now $29 and once he changes it online, that means it will be $32.00 overnight. No, thank you. Fire up my gas oven at home - I'm making my own. read more

This is for the Chicago Style. I have friends that live in Snohomish they used to live in Fremont and went to Kylie's all the time ever since Kylie's closed they would try another Chicago Pizza place around the city but just never found one they liked. When I ran across Johnny Mo's I let them know about the place they ordered and drove all the way into town and have been hooked ever since. When my friend comes to visit me in Seattle he has to always picks up pizza to bring home to his brother and sister-in-law. I asked if he would mine if I went this time and placed an order since I live in Ballard he would have to back track a bit, he said by the time it got to Snohomish they'd have to heat it up anyway. Parking is not the easiest around that neighborhood, if you're picking up you may want to bring another person to run in. This was my friend's 4th time picking up and my first. They were just taking our pies out of the oven so we had a chance to visit with one of the owners who was sitting at a table ip front. I love getting to know the owners and talk to them it always give me a better connection to the business. It was fun to hear that he had tried a variety of pizza places around town before opening and creating a concept. I think it's awesome they offer Chicago and New York style. I ordered the veggie deep dish. I loved all the fresh ingredients, it had been awhile since I had a Chicago style. Crust and sauce were great. The last spot I had Chicago pizza from I wasn't a fan of their sauce. The sauce here doesn't take away from the fresh ingredients. Looking forward to trying the New York style next time. read more

This is only review of a to go, I heard good things about this place, I never had either deep dish Chicago in Chicago or New York pizza in New York, I heard about the great rival. So I decided to get both since they had both, but can one place made both Chicago and New York pizza that's great in one place, not good or tasty but great. I'm used to getting pizzas that are hot , cut into slices and they offer you red pepper , cheese and napkins it seems standard for me, at other pizza places even starbucks roast house offer this. This what happen nothing as offer except the pizza usually the bottom on the corrugated box is hot it is was warm I just called in the order and minutes ago. The price for two 10inch pizza seem high $60 bucks , but people at work rave about it. At home bust out the plates and red pepper, Parmesan cheese, I also like alittle black pepper. The Hawaiian New York pizza was had a crunchy crust and it tasted like other thin crust pizza from seattle. I later read the website story of how their New York pizza was like a taste of the big apple, I would say it was not. Next the Chicago style deep dish again the website said it was butter , it was not the flavor of a sour or acidity sauce taste is not to my liking and this had a strong acidity or sour sauce . Two pieces and the sauce was not what I thought pizza would taste others , from love it but not me. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten pizza in Spain and Italy during the summer that was truly scrumptious pizza.They call themselves the best pizza in seattle I would say for a reviewer, that statement might be overstated. To wrap it up 10inch pizza about 30 dollars each a acidity Chicago deep taste and a New York crunch taste , was just okay for my taste btw it was kinda of ignoring to cut the deep dishes into slices at home, people from work said that how they do it read more

Our pizza was good, salad was ok, we were missing a salad. Pasta and meatballs fair. Cute little neighborhood place. We placed a to go order the person taking our order made fun of my daughter's name before he hung up phone the phone was on speaker so the whole family heard the conversation. When I went in for food the staff was extremely apologetic as was the manager. Based on my interaction with them I believe that the bartender is the problem since they knew exactly who took the order and were not surprised by his behavior. We won't be going back and encourage you to decide for yourself. read more
