Solid NYC style pizza... Been wanting to try Johnny Ox for a while and finally got around to it... Glad I did, because the pizza was great. It's your classic NYC style pie... Crispy crust with a chewy middle, tangy red sauce, and good ole low moisture mozzarella. While I didn't love the house made sausage (it had a funky spice that I couldn't quite figure out), the pizza itself is some of the best I've had in FW. If you've been to NYC pizza joints, Johnny Ox brings back those memories... Definitely worth a stop to grab a slice or two (or a whole damn pie). read more

Johnny OX Pizzeria - Johnny Ox Italian sausage slice (and Buyamba hoagie)... Way too much food (rookie mistake). - Pizza Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Bad flavor, stale dough, and way overpriced. Dough was like chewing on a piece of rubber

I was in the Market at the Electric Works with so many seemingly great options to choose from. I ended up here as I was in a hurry. I got a slice of Peruvian Chicken pizza which was so delicious. A slice and a drink for under &7. There ain't nothing wrong with that price. read more

I have an adult son who still could eat pizza daily! He's a connoisseur, indeed! Every city or state, he can deluge you with the pizza worth trying and the places to avoid. He knows about crust and sauce. A sauce must have equal measure savory and sweet to strike the best balance. Ask me how I know, it's because he's told me so. A crust either needs to be thick and mighty to thin and crispy, again, based on my son's assessments. I stopped in to pick him up a slice to try. I ordered one slice cheese and one slice pepperoni. We split them both, to his dismay. They were equally tasty, flavorful, and big! We enjoyed each bite. So much so, he had my split my half - in half so he could eat the rest. Talk about a pizza connoisseur. This was easily the best cheese pizza I had ever had. I stand on that. The shop is located in a corner of the Electric Works food campus and can be easily found. The staff was courteous and that's all I can stay, they weren't rude or dismissive, just perfunctory and I was fine with that. read more

Really good pizza! Thin, but perfectly crispy crust, perfect sauce. Great flavors -- both the standards and their original creations. We got a pepperoni and the chicken one with the Peruvian green sauce -- both delicious. Fort Wayne, support this place! They know what they're doing. read more

You need to go here. The pizza is high quality, seasoned to perfection, and the dough is crispy and holds up. I can't wait to try the other pizzas, but I'm highly impressed so far. The owner says he was trying to duplicate east coast pizza, and boy did he deliver. Now the pepperoni pizza did cost $26, but it's well worth it. Pepperonis are fresh and plentiful. The tomato sauce had great flavor with a little sweetness. Good amount of cheese, you'll definitely get a cheese pull. The pizza is huge. You could probably feed 4 people in one pizza, unless it's all men then maybe 2-3. Fantastic pizza. Go here. read more

Johnny Ox is a unique pizza place in a new and unique setting. They are located right by the door as you come into Union Street Market. The signage is hard to see and front desk is a bit crowded with tables, patrons waiting on food and other passersby's. The menu is very small and pricey. However the pizza is very large and filling. The food prep area is open for you to watch and stayed clean through the busy time I was there. The team was mildly friendly though it was the end of the shift and they just sold out of pizza dough. You have to ask for about everything since it is an open air venue with general seating. There was plenty of comfortable and attractive seating for those of you wanting to dine in. They don't have fountain service so everything is in a can or bottle. The pizza is Neapolitan style pizza. The pizza is large and nicely oven baked. No burnt edges or bottoms on this pie. The pie has a lot of sauce that soaks into the crust. So the crust is very limp in the middle and thicker/chewy on the edges where there is no sauce. The pizza is lighter on the cheese. The cheese was very fresh and had a great mozzarella flavor. The pie was loaded with small round pepperonis. The pepperoni had a nice spicy kick that stays with you as you dine. One of the true measures of a good pizza is...how does it taste cold the next morning. The pizza crust was a bit tough 12 hours later but still an okay level of chewy. The pepperoni still had a wonderful spice that probably even more dominated the total flavor even more. The sauce presence was fully absorbed by now. Pretty good as a cold pizza! Overall I think Johnny Ox's Neapolitan pizza is worth a try. I don't think any one else in Fort Wayne has this style pizza. Just be prepared for the pie sticker shock...though it will feed three people. The new Union Street Market is fresh and unique and worth a visit too! read more

Located inside the Union Street Market, you cannot miss this place. The line is always long, but for great reason! Thankfully this place offers slices between 11a & 3p. Whole pies typically take 14 minutes but depending on the orders the wait can be up to 45 mins to an hour. I'm not usually a wood-oven pizza gal, but the quality of the ingredients changes my mind. Here's what I got: -Cheese slices ($4): on a busy day where the wait was 45 minutes I opted for the last 2 cheese slices. They didn't disappoint! Not too much sauce and the cheese is fantastic. The slowly fermented crust is so good you'll want to eat that too. -Omnivore Kiss ($28): this is only on their menu periodically, so when you can get it ... get it! The pizza has quite a bit on it, but it's not too overwhelming where you can't enjoy. The ingredients (per menu) include: organic marinara, WM mozzarella, ezzo natural cased - fermented pepperoni, house-made spice-fennel sausage, nueski's cherry wood bacon, onion, black olives, roasted mushroom and fresh garlic. It's a party in your mouth for sure. Only thing I would opt out of is the olives, but that's just a personal preference. The pepperoni was my fave on this pizza and will try the pepperoni pizza next time. Great establishment. Will be back! read more

Okay, to say this is the best pizza in the fort may be a stretch..... But it has got to be close. My wife and I went to electric works for date night and had food and drinks from several places inside. Before heading out I said, "hey let's get a pizza to go." I walked over placed my order and within a few minutes (maybe 15 or so) my number was called. I'm a huge fan of Neapolitan pizza and Johnny Ox brings their "A" game every time we order from them. Some say the price is a tad too high. But, in all actuality it's priced right for the size and quality you get. Great job guys on a great pizza. You have earned a customer for life! read more

The pizza was amazing and the flavor of the homemade dough only added to the unique wonderful flavor. We will definitely be adding this to the list of places we will visit often. read more

Electric works - another concept that we enjoyed on our visit to the Fort Wayne area for a class reunion. Johnny pizza was amazing and the quality of the ingredients clearly evident in the taste of the pizza. I am looking forward to the next time we visit family to stop again to enjoy the food. This pizza place needs to expand to their own facility in the future where they would be a neighborhood favorite! read more

Fantastic! Best pie in town. I learned it in Oregon, and Omnivore's kiss are great. The ingredients taste so fresh, and their fermented crust is to die for. Stop hesitating and get it too day. Order, then grab a drink. It takes about 20 minutes, but so worth it. read more

Sheep be lined up for Johnny Ox like crazy! All hungry and desperate like! Waiting an hour for a slice of Pizza. I mean come on it's obvious isn't it?

If you want authentic New York style pizza, made with all fresh ingredients, nothing out of a can or premade, this is your place. This was our first time trying their food. The customer service was great. We had an opportunity to meet and chat with the owner himself. Great guy, as well as the staff who were also working that day. We bought a few slices, just to try them out and we were highly satisfied with our purchase. They are located inside of the Electric Works building, nice atmosphere and there are other dining options as well. I highly recommend Johnny Ox. We will be return customers for sure. read more

I'm glad to see yelp has more sense than the mouth breathing Karen's on google. Anything less than 5 stars is insulting to this place especially considering the lack of decent options in Fort Wayne for pizza. I'm born and raised from New Haven CT ( best pizza in the world ) and this place is right up there no joke. The flavor and quality is incredible , Johnny is an awesome dude that interacts with his customers and the girls who make the pies are amazing . It's become close to a weekly tradition of mine to go I'm there and get a beer and I can't wait to go again. You can't go wrong with this pizza read more

It's good, but not great. They burnt most of the crust, and we just worked our way through it. Alto Grado is better. Also, it's a little pricey for just pizza. read more

Tried on Saturday 06May2023. Growing up in MA, I have a preference for NY Style Pies. The Angel's Peruvian Chicken was phenomenal. The fennel sausage was fantastic. A ton of flavors and additional sauces for the explorers out there. In short, it's my new favorite pizza joint in Ft. Wayne! read more

Greasy, floppy, and burnt. You can do better for the price. Tried to enjoy it, but it was just meh.

Ordered pizza by the slice pepperoni. The crust is very good. It has a lot of chew. The peperoni is the small cup type. My favorite. The pepperoni remind me of the original Domino's type. The sauce to cheese ratio is good. I usually like a little more sauce. However, the ratio works well for style. It's got some grease but that's not all bad. You can buy a beer at the Charlie Horse and enjoy it with your pizza. Lunar Infusions is next door for kambucha. read more

Fort Wayne has a decent pizzeria FINALLY. When I first moved here from Orlando about 7 years ago, I'd literally have to visit a place in Indy called Goodfellas for a decent tasting pizza. I have tried literally every pizzeria that claims to have "the best local owned pizza of Fort Wayne" and always was better just to get a Walmart or Aldi made pizza and throw it in the oven at home. The employees are genuinely friendly, and you could tell they put passion into what they do. They can tell you what they use and why. The atmosphere is awesome and is surrounded by a bunch of local owned food and drink businesses that are great. Try it for yourself, won't be disappointed! read more

They make a great pie -love that you can get a big slice of fresh pizza without breaking the bank -the crust is phenomenal in my opinion -only complaint my daughter has is that they don't sell cheese sauce (for the extra crust) I just use some of there huge variety of hot sauce -great service as well. read more

Excellent pizza! Would love to see more topping choices though. Purchased pepperoni pizza.

Pizza was delicious- crisp and chewy crust. And I loved the flavor selections. Soooo very good.

This is not you're ordinary pizza. The dough is so good, toppings are seasoned perfectly. We got the I learned it in Oregon. Try it! You won't be disappointed. read more

We had an event at Electric Works, they served Johnny Ox pizza! Might be the best pizza we've ever had! Highly recommend!
