If you want quality pizza, Johnny's is an excellent choice. We ordered a large mushroom to share between two people and we could have finished the entire pie if eating for flavor. I never had pizza where the sauce was on top of the cheese but as a person who loves the sauce, I enjoyed it. The slices themselves are ultra thin but crispy enough to have substance and hold the toppings. Didn't get to try the grandmas slice, which also was thin crusted, but would love to return to try it
I consider myself a rainbow cake aficionado - from Fortunatos to Veniero's, I'll never turn down a piece of these hybrid cake-cookies. When I saw that Johnny's Pizzeria was serving not just rainbow cookies but rainbow cakes, I knew a trip to Mt. Vernon was in order. While the cake was as decadent as expected, more importantly we discovered one of the pre-eminent thin crust pizzas in the city. The cake is put in the oven for no more than 1.5 minutes and might best be characterised as a cracker. The sauce and cheese are simple but leave nothing to be desired. Johnny's Pizza style is similar to John's of Bleecker Street - and arguably an improvement - but its peculiar location in a more challenged section of Mt. Vernon means you won't deal with any of the tourists or lines.
Welp, if you're looking for thin crust pizza....then this is definitely the place for you. The pizza is so light and crispy. I mean it's absolutely delicious. I couldn't believe the experience would be this great. I ordered a small pie half pepperoni and myyyyyyy God. The pizza was freshly made and baked with love. The pizza is different. The sauce is on top of the cheese. Can you imagine that?! Also, I tried the Italian Rainbow cake. Ummm ummmm Ummm!!!! That cake was delicious. It was moist and very flavorful. I loved it. Now, here's what I didn't like....can sodas! That's really not my thing. But their ice was delicious. LoL!!!
Rare 5 Star Review One of the best pizza's in the US. Bold statement? Not really. This is pretty much the epitome of an authentic old school pizza joint. The staff is friendly. The pizza is just ridiculously good! The crust is always thin and a little well done which makes it have a great flavor and a great crispness. Zero soggy slices here! I am good for two slices usually, but I ate four because it was just that good! We had one pep and one plain pie. Price doesn't matter when you are eating at a legendary pizza place with superb pizza. Tip: The meatball wedge is amazing and the greatest rendition of a meatball grinder that we have ever had. If you like the thin crust crispy no flop pizza, then you will thoroughly enjoy this place. Parking is a little iffy...that is my only negative...and it isn't impossible, just could be tough on a busy Friday night! We literally been to over a thousand "pizza" joints and this is in the top 5 of all time. Too good. Thanks
Meticulous. Care and precision of a craft. Linguini B brings that to you - And Linguini B has the greatest of appreciation for restaurants that do the same. Meticulous. The Latin root - Metus - of course, is most similar to the modern Anglo-Saxon word of Fear. Yes I'm studied, but that's not that point. So where do Meticulous and Fear align? Fear of what? Meticulous. Fear of not being perfect. Fear of missing a detail. Chase perfection and catch excellence... said some serial winner of Italian descent in the Midwest pugging back the finest cheese this country has to offer. Vince, derived from Vincere - To Win. Mr. Lombardi's destiny was thrust upon himself at birth. Another winner? Johnny's. Mount Vernon's master makers of pizza at Johnny's prove day in and day out to be meticulous - Nearing pure perfection of pizza. My review here today cannot elevate the greatness of this known and eternally established entity. I am only here to pay my respect to a titan of the most popular piece of cuisine on the planet. Since 1942. In 1942 I was fighting in WWII in a yesterlife. I was likely being shot down at the siege of Malta. Not the great siege of the 16th century, but the multi year campaign in the 20th. Is Linguini making history hot? Yea. Whatever. Johnny's they were still slinging pizzas. I've lived three lives since then. You don't wanna know the others... What's so great about Johnny's? Surely, the wait is not great. But patience is a virtue acquired by I. The parking lot is packed tight but neatly. The bricks on the outside of the restaurant radiate heat. The smell of pizza devours the streets. The rumor is you cannot eat this pizza on the street out due to its potency. It causes fights, many have been mugged for the remainder of their pie. That's what you like to hear, if you ask me. But who am I? Anyways - Our lovely and respectful waitress promised me, a young guppy, that the wait would be worth it. What she was really saying is that my 83 year soul, through war and multiple bodies, could wait a bit longer. Her eyes burned of passion, precision, and persuasion. Her confidence clearly knew no bounds. It reassured me in an instance, not that any doubts had really crept in at the moment. Doubts are the friends of the weak and the foe of the stable. I stand on a table. I let my wisdom known - and everyday it's shown. So, yes, really all her majestic and careful words did was elevate my expectations. I suckered down a few zucchini sticks and some house salad as we waited for our turn on the Ferris Wheel. They went quickly. Should've ate more slowly. Rookie mistake, although I was seated with vets. The vets were peering at my every move, it's difficult to eat with Linguini. What is he thinking? Is it positive? Is it negative? Don't think too much, I surely don't. I'm all action. Anyways I heard some complaint about a slightly dirty salad bowl but I couldn't have cared less. I was there for the pizza. Finally. This story is not your typical fantasy. I provided an exposition. I teased you with some rising action. But there will be no fall. No denouement. Strictly a climax. Oh yea... a climax indeed. My tuckered out but tingling teeth chomped down excitedly on a pizza with the structure of the firmest cardboard. The integrity of the dough was so elite, that I argue you could make a bridge from this yeast. A delicious bridge at that. Each bite filled with a crunch. A light crunch, but a crunch nonetheless. This is the best dough in the U S of A. That is clear as day. You can argue with a wall, and the wall would still fight back. Believe me, I would know, I was a rebirthed as a wall from 1943 to 1944. The sauce is fantastic, maybe could use slightly more of it. That's not a complaint or a recommendation. I'm just being picky because that's what you pay me to do. Pay in dollar? Nay. Simply pay me in your love and occasional laughter, all I do is provide transparency. You can't really see the cheese but you know it's there. It's of quality. The crust is scrumptious, it somehow distinguishes itself from the rest of the crunchy slice. The lightness of this pie is feather-like. Not just to hand, but to stomach. With 2 large pies shared amongst three you'd think we'd be squeaking out of the front door, but I think I left lighter. I burned more calories chewing than I gained consuming. I could've polished back so many slices. You have to hold yourself back. These things are addicting. You'd think as the temperature decreases that the pizza quality declines.... But in fact it could've even gotten better. What type of wizardry is that? High 9s pizza. We are talking 9.5/9.6 type. This is a certified BAD BOY. I'm a certified BAD BOY. Make the trip from far and wide. There were a few aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy in the back room - Quite the trip. They left impressed. Nobody said a word, as if it were commonplace. Amazing. Love you Johnny. Stay meticulous. Trust the process. LB trusts.
Some of the best pizza I've had in decades! I'm from Boston (20 years) but have been living in Oakland for 30 years and I keep trying to explain to Californians what REALLY good pizza is. This. Is. IT. Nice and thin. Crispy bottom, chewy on top. I got anchovies and mushrooms. They weren't just slapped on top. It was almost like they incorporated it into the sauce or something, with the perfect ratio. They top the dough almost all the way to the edge so you're gonna wanna eat that crust too. I paired the pie with a glass of red wine. The staff were also mad cool. Cash only but they have an ATM inside. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in NYC. I'd travel from any of the other boroughs to get to this spot.
great food, chill atmosphere, what more could u want! i recommend getting extra cheese on the pizza
This pie is fantastic even down to the undercarriage! Lite, crispy crust great tomato sauce...Delicious! One of the top pies in New York State.
Tried to eat here a couple of weeks ago. I think they were on vacation. Came back from NJ stopped in Arthur ave first picked up items then head out to mt Vernon. Was hoping I can get a parking spot. But no space open. They have about 7 spots for customers. Walked in ordered two pies and 2 Pepsi cans. $50. Pizza was ready in about 15-20 minutes. Pizza dough was good. It reminded me of Italian bread you buy from a bakery. That is how pizza dough should be. Sauce was good. Here is the problem. Not enough cheese. And it wasn't the best cheese. Owner knows about Grande while milk mozz. They should be using the best of the best. Especially when customers are paying a premium and going thru hoops to get there w no parking. I bet Johnny used it when he was slinging pies. I'm going 8.9
If you know me, you know that I think pizza is an overrated food. PUT YOUR KNIVES AWAY!!!! I come in peace. So, while I don't LOVE pizza like, what I like to call people who are, Pizza People, I do sometimes try pizza at different places in the event I find one that I truly love. Well, Johnny's is that place for me. My mom and I got for a large pie: 1/2 plain, 1/2 pepperoni and a side of broccoli sautéed in garlic and oil. The broccoli was decent. It could have been cooked longer for me. I wish it had more garlic since I'm obsessed with garlic. 7/10. Now, the star of the show. The pizza!!! Ok, first look, it looks incredible. The reverse action of cheese then sauce is genius. The undercarriage was nicely charred. When I took a bite I was shook. The sauce was nicely seasoned. It had a level of sweetness that I prefer in my tomato sauces. There was just enough cheese. The crust was my favorite part. I prefer a THIN crust. It was so thin and crispy I was stunned. The sauce being on top allowed the pizza to not have that "flop" or soggy bottom. It was perfect. The pepperoni wasn't salty and thinly sliced. I give the pizza a 10/10. It's such a homey feeling place with the memorabilia that's been collected over the years and now displayed. Some other things to note about the restaurant: -cash only -not open on Sundays and Mondays -looks to get busy quickly when it gets later in the evening so plan accordingly Overall, if you are not a Pizza Person, I still say give it a try! You may find that you love their style.

I'm not going to trash a 75+ year old, hard working Italian restaurant. There's a place in New Jersey that makes a spicy brown mustard tomato pizza. They take pizza dough, slather it with spicy brown mustard then top it with typical pizza toppings. That's their style and the neighborhood loves it. Everyone has been talking about Johnny's Pizzeria, it's one of the best pizzas in New York. I had to investigate this claim, Dave Portnoy gave it a 9.1?! I walk in and I'm greeted by the sweetest hostess. She directs me to a small table. I ordered a regular cheese pizza, no toppings. I must point out, this is a cash only spot with no slices to be served. The restaurant isn't too slammed, people are sitting and enjoying their freshly made pizza. This wasn't too long of a wait, it took about 10 minutes to get a fresh, out of the oven pizza. Again, I go back to New Jersey. Jersey has a pizza style called a Bar Pizza, very small and thin crust pizza. The pizza from Johnny's Pizzeria has a similar style. Not that there is anything wrong with your choice, if you like this style and grew up with a cracker style crust from Jonny's Pizza then bully for you man! Look at my pictures and make a decision for yourself. Lovely people working inside the restaurant, I'm not used to this style of pizza. read more

Yes the Pizza is amazing! 10/10 The meatball parmigiana wedge is out of the park! Been coming to Johnny's since was a kid. Moved further upstate since. However, it's always great to come home and get a taste of nostalgia. Was great then and still greater today than ever! Consistency is key. Make sure to stop by and grab a Pie or two, three and try the Meatball Parmigiana Wedge too! Your welcome read more

Had a chance to try Johnnys today. The decor makes for a quintessential pizzeria experience. The three Pizzaiolo's worked in harmony to masterfully pump pizza after pizza; each a work of art in its own right. Servers efficiently hum through their stations as tending to your every need. Then the star of the show appears...my pizza. I went with the plain because everyone knows that's how you truly judge a pizzaiolo's greatness. And greatness it was. Perfectly cooked crust, vibrant pizza sauce and the right amount of cheese... a true master piece. The added bonus was getting to chat with the sweetest angel of the family run business Concetta. Thanks for a most memorable lunch read more
We went to Johnny's on a Friday evening in December after reading about it in a pizza lovers group on Facebook. There was a lot of talk and a lot of hype about this fantastic thin pizza. I will be going through all aspects. Parking. Parking is horrendous. It took over 40 minutes to find a spot. Within that 40 minutes I had to hop out alone to secure a table to attempt to speed up the process. We were pretty hungry already. When my husband finally found a spot he had to walk another 10 minutes to the pizzeria. They have valet but we looked and the lot was full so. Idk it seemed kind of moot. Timeline. From the time that we started looking for parking, to putting in our order, and waiting for the pizza we did spend over an hour before receiving food. What I'm trying to say is that this whole pizza-getting process at Johnny's was very time consuming. It ate up a lot of our Friday night especially by the time we finished eating we prob met the 2.5 hour mark or close. Service. There's no sign but you're supposed to wait in the front to be seated in the order that you arrive. After I gave my name, I waited in a large back room for a few minutes and then was seated at a two-top. Brenda was our waitress. I can't say enough good things about her. In fact she was the best part of our experience. She was kind, sweet, personable and I didn't feel like a number. We connected over our shared interest in diet sodas (lol). She put in my order quickly to get us moving along. Food. We ordered 2 plain pies and two sodas. Was the pizza thin? ...Was it thin? I felt like I was being pranked. I kid you not. They make these pizzas on a piece of printer paper. They make these pizzas on a base of cellophane. They might even make normal pizzas, freeze them, and then shave and serve them. These pizzas are RAZOR THIN. I'm not kidding when I say that after we finished eating I thought about it and said to my husband, if someone wanted to play a practical joke involving pizza, this is the pizza that I would imagine being served. It was comically thin. Practical-joke-thin. New York pizza style is considered thin and I know and understand that. That's what I'm used to and that's what I grew up eating. This is .......its own category. This is something else. If you've never been and you're just looking at the pictures--its even thinner in real life. A feather. Now, that being said, it wasn't "bad." But it was also--a snack. Thank God we ordered two because my husband would have starved to death if we hadn't. I had seven slices but could have had more (something I never say). We both left feeling hungry, $60 later (with tip). I thought it was still tasty but my husband was fuming. After looking forward to it all week as a huge pizza lover, it was such a drastically different experience than he was expecting and he was not impressed. Not enough cheese, not enough flavor, way too thin, no bang for the buck. One side of my husband's pizza also was burnt and he said the crust was inedible on that side. He said he'll never return again and would give it a zero. I'm going to give it a two because of the server and it wasn't "bad" tasting it was pretty good for me in terms of flavor but also not all that it was hyped up to be. Overall-- a let down! read more

This place has been on my bucket list for a long time. I took a friend of mine who is a senior, who doesn't like any pizza around because it's usually very limp and too Chewy. Well this isn't the case at Johnny's! It's a very old-school restaurant. Nothing fancy just good food. We started off with Johnny signature salad which consisted of pepperoncini, olives, blue cheese, lettuce, onions and tomato. It was nice and cold, crisp in a wonderful vinaigrette. Loved it. Now for the pizza! The pizza came out looking very saucy. It was extremely crispy, and every piece stood upright as you lifted it towards your mouth. The cheese was under the sauce. The slices cannot be described as Chewy or limp. We both agreed the Pizza was really crispy and delicious. My senior friend has finally found her dream come true pizza! I'm happy to accompany her anytime! The servers are very nice and efficient. Bravo! read more
Mixed on it. The service was great. The pizza fair. I didn't sit down, but I understand they won't provide a glass of water for those eating in. You have to purchase. Anyway, it's a thin crust and the sauce is great. I guess it's just not a style I favor. I grew up in Brooklyn and that's the style I like. This is closer to New Haven. read more

Is this place reopening or not? I called & they said they were open. When I called a few hours later, the call went to a machine, over and over. I drove by today and they're…
It's been open for awhile . . . only takeout. We've ordered several times in the last month. They have it all closed up inside with plastic - you still need a mask to go in and pick up. The best pizza in the area! Maybe limited hours? or days?…
