    Pepperoni Pizza
    Charissa H.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Without a doubt, this place ranks among the top three pizza spots in Fort Wayne! I've enjoyed their pizza around 7-8 times now, and each experience has been a success. I particularly appreciate their rotation of pizza menus, which gives customers the opportunity to try something different each time.

    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

    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.

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

    Ask the Community - Johnny OX Pizzeria

    Is there a gluten free crust available?

    I'm pretty confident the answer is no. It's not on the menu and the work area isn't conducive to keep gluten and non-gluten separate.

Mild pineapple taste coupled with a smooth and ice cold ginger beer. The cooper cup sweating cold invitations is a topper. We decided to split a Cobb Salad. Our server Diego was outstanding all night. He was more than willing to split the salad. He did everything you wanted a waiter to do to make your experience enjoyable! The Cobb salad was very fresh. The kitchen did an outstanding job at making it presentable in a half dish manner. There was plenty of toppings to accent the salad. The grilled chicken was moist, easy to cut and slightly seasoned to enjoy. The Cobb salad is a must try if you are a salad goer. The pizza was good. It has a thin crust that was crispy but not burnt. The pizza was just soft enough that you could cut it with a fork. We had the everything pizza. There was a good variety of toppings and plenty of them. The sauce was not very predominant. I would probably ask for extra sauce next time so I could enjoy the tomato sauce accents more. Overall...good thin crust pizza.
