Didn't eat at the location, so I do not know the ambiance of this location, placed a delivery order. Ordered 2 meat lover pizzas and a 12 wing bbq appetizer. Ordered and food showed up to the hotel within 55 minutes of order placed. Food was a great condition, not piping hot as you would get at the restaurant, but understand delivery will lose some warmth over food. Was still warm enough to enjoy. Delivery driver was friendly when dropping off order. read more

Landed in NJ and wanted a slice of pizza. Looked at reviews and found this little gem just a few miles from the airport. Great pizza! Great wraps and salad. Atmosphere with the owner and others was awesome. Felt right at home and enjoyed our little stop so much. Stop by you won't be disappointed! read more

Pretty good pizza, we enjoyed what we ate. We ordered the Grandma's pizza with veggies and pepperoni. Quick delivery and arrived hot.

Food is not that great. Lacks flavor and quality. Garlic bread came w my pasta it was dry, hard and no flavor. Honestly embarrassing they call themselves a pizza caffe. The guy at the counter was rude. Don't recommend 0/10 waste of money read more

Best pizza around. Great salads and sandwiches as well. Very friendly staff and quick delivery as well. They have a fun pizza special weekly as well. Highly recommend! read more

I love amazing food! The pizza, burger, and fries are delicious. I highly recommend them!

Excellent pizza and sandwiches -- fresh, flavorful, and good quality, just like many others have said. The host was very friendly and welcoming, which really added to the experience. It's a simple, no-frills place, but the food is consistently great and definitely worth visiting. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Johns for years. Over the past two years I noticed charges on my receipt for: service fee, convenience fee, to go fee, fee for plastic utensils. Besides that the quality is going down and the owner is rude. The food has always been great - but it is not that way anymore. I hope you go back to the way it was-since everything is so pricy. read more

Amazing food! Try all the pizzas! Wonderful family business. A Peterstown institution.

The customer service was great and the food was amazing. The sloppy Joe sandwiches are top tier. We tried the calamari, spaghetti w/meatballs, John's special pizza, and sloppy Joe sandwich with turkey. Everything was fresh and I felt like I was eating in my house. It is saved to my favorites for sure. read more

Tonight I took the drive to Elizabeth, NJ with my daughters to try a pizzeria and Italian ice place in the area. Both of those places ended up being closed and I scrambled to find something to eat. It ended up being a lucky break that the other pizzeria was closed because the Trenton style pizza at John's Caffe was exceptional. Delicious tomato sauce! Huge Parmesan and basil flavor in a special topping layer. Great crust. Really an excellent pizza. Highly recommend. read more

Cook forgot to put French Fries on my Italian Hotdog and Manager wanted pictures of my sandwich to prove I was telling the truth. She was very argumentative and refused to give me a store credit for the entire sandwich because my lunch was over and couldn't meet the delivery driver now. Owner just called because he's upset about my negative review and told me I'm not allowed to order from their establishment anymore. The rest of the sandwich went in the trash because I realized while eating it that the hot dogs weren't cooked all the way through read more

Pizza was good, the calamari and garlic knots was average but the cannoli was amazing. I'm definitely looking to try more due to the smell of what was in the air inside I'm definitely looking to go back read more

Love their pizza! Try the Trenton.. Burgers and sweet potato fries are good too. Would definitely recommend.

Very rude customer service so here's what happened I wanted to buy a bag of Zepolys and the lady said I have to spend 15 rollers to be able to deliver them so I asked her if she can tell me and she started talking to me with a nasty attitude pls get her into check read more

I don't really like my Johns, but I do like John's Caffe. Even if it does mis-spell Caffe. They have something weird called a Trenton slice which looks like a hypnotist symbol or some kind of crop circle with all the cheese and tomato in big circles. The girl here is super pretty and the pizza here is pretty good as well. She has purple nails and the guy working here (who is totally not in her league) hit on her from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. But they make good pizza so good for them. read more

Very decent pizza! The ingredients were fresh and the dough was very good. I will deff be coming back here again!

Great pizza take out place, the only place I go for pizza in Elizabeth. Everything is always fresh and it's a real Italian pizza place! I don't know if they still make fried Oreos, but unknown they used to and they were great!! read more

Elizabeth is one of those cities that I don't spend a lot of time in. I was in the area for work and needed something to eat so I came to John's. It is a small shop with your typical pizza case but they also have sandwiches. I went with the uncle mike which had fried eggplant with proscuitto. The eggplant was legit and I feel bad saying this I didn't expect too much. The sandwich was good and it came with a tomato and cucumber salad. I also had to try the pizza for review purposes and I went with the trenton. The pizza has a thicker crust but the flavor was spot on. It was cooked just right. Solid. The pizzeria is off the beaten path but I am glad I came. read more

I don't know if this person was the owner or manager when I went to John's today but he was very rude to his staff. The profanity that he was using and the tone of voice like they were less than a person was unbelievable. The audacity of him to yell at the staff while customers was at the establishment is astounding to me. That did it for me I'm never going back and spending my money here. Those employees deserve respect. read more

I love this place. Great salads and pizza!! John's is the kind of neighborhood pizzeria I grew up with living in NJ. They offer pizza by the slice, whole pies, wraps, great hot and cold subs. Their variety of prepared slices are great!! read more

Staying at a nearby hotel on business decided to try a local pizza joint. Was going to uber it but it was snowing and didn't feel like venturing out into the cold and leaving my life in the hands of someone I didn't know. So we ordered delivery. I finding myself trying to be healthy ordered a salad with grilled chicken on it and my co-worker and I decided to split a pizza. We decided on a half margarita/ pepperoni and sausage. The half meat was mine, my co-worker is on some meatless Diet...but he didn't mind the pizza with meat sharing the same box as his vegan pizza which was cool... The order arrived about an hour after we placed it. The pizza was still warm but not hot. It was pretty tasty and it looked like it was made fresh, but being it got cold the crust became soft and lost its crispness.....the sauce, cheese, pepperoni and sausage were good....definitely New York style...The salad had fresh greens and the chicken on it was good. Overall not too bad for a delivery in a snowstorm. I'd give a perfect score but the pizza could've been hotter...they had it in one of those warmer bags, but it looked old like they could update it to something newer that would keep it hot...this caused the crust to become soft and lose the crisp it looked like it had...next time I'll take the uber and try it in house read more

Pardon the spelling of cafe (it's an Italian thing). John's Caffe and Pizza is a [delicious] reminder of the Italian-American population found in Elizabeth in Peterstown. Located in the heart of the Burg, John's Caffe has been a popular family-owned pizzeria for decades. Their pizza, specifically their Trenton pie, is legendary. Just look at the photos. Once inside the caffe, you'll find ample seating, and more importantly a steady sense of urgency via the ongoing business! They offer daily lunch specials with a pretty extensive menu and have a variety of health-conscious options as well! read more

By far my favorite pizza shop in NJ. The delivery is fast and the pizza is always fresh. Definitely my go to pizzeria.

Where else can you get real Mortadella and a hot pepper sandwich? The one thing I love about this place is it's consistency and if something is ever an issue the owner is more than willing to help. Actually tried their tacos on Tuesday and was highly impressed, with a Luciano slice on the side. Special Note: Was having lunch there the other day and I noticed a lady drop a slice of her pizza from the table. Without hesitation the owner went to the back and brought her another slice on the house... it's these little things that make places like this special. read more

First time ordering from here, I ordered the Stella Bella panini & it was really tasty & the sandwich it's self is pretty big! My only complaint is that it's supposed to come with avocado & they only put a couple of tiny little slivers on it. I was expecting normal slices especially for what I paid for. I'll still give them another chance & try some of their other items! read more

Love their food!! Pizza is on point; burgers are amazing and their sandwiches are great! My favorites are: Gotham burger, 2nd Avenue sandwich, Buffalo pizza and barbecue pizza. Looking forward to trying the rest of their extensive menu. read more

Amazing food!! Especially their ravioli!! Owner is great! Grandma pizza is the best!! Workers are friendly and welcoming.

So I placed an order online for a 10 inch personal pie to be delivered approximately six blocks away in Elizabeth and was told it was going to be about an hour.... I told them that I am a truck driver and I will not be sitting at my stop for over an hour so I need to cancel the order very rude I understand it's Friday and you guys may be busy but you have to understand that I cannot wait over one hour for a pizza to be delivered blocks away wish I could say something better but guy was a jerk Update: in response to your comment I understand 60 minutes plus is a good time during lunch on a Friday but I cannot wait over an hour I am a truck driver and I have DOT hours that I need to go so that was not going to work for me and you were upset that I had to cancel my order and it wasn't the fact that it was going to take 60 minutes that's not a big deal the big deal is the way you talk to your customers read more

Big disappointment. Not flavorful. Had more oil and grease than my Chevy. Felt a little nauseous after eating. Will never be going back. Just goes to show you these reviews are not always accurate - very subjective. read more

Only place i trust for great vegan pizza ! The wings are also very good , no complaints

Working nearby, I have been here a couple times in the past week already. Everything I have ordered so far has been good at great prices. If you are in the area, definitely hit this place up. You may have to wait a bit for your food during the lunch rush but it is worth it. read more

John's is the best around!! The food is outstanding.. portions are HUGE. I always opt for the salads, they definitely never skimp on the chicken and all the good stuff. Their cucumber salad side and bean salad side are THE BEST! I've been ordering from John's for a while and they never disappoint. We've officially made them our go-to place every other Friday at my job, as well as large catering orders. read more

Won't be back in here again. Came in today (6/18/18) for lunch and loud mouth, tough guy owner (tall, combed back black hair looking guy; probably original owner's son) was in the store screaming and carrying on to his entire staff, both back house kitchen and front house staff members. He was yelling about his people not moving fast enough, not making orders fast enough and just treating everyone on the staff like complete @ssholes. I refuse to support a business and ownership when the acting owner treats his hard working staff like garbage. I'll never step foot in here again. Hopefully others will see this and do the same. Such a shame. read more

Another cold day in jersey calls for delivery! I ordered from this place for first time based on their good reviews and pics. I ordered: 2 chicken parmigiana plates 1 Cesar salad Pros: 1.big portions! The plates came with 3 pieces of chicken each! That's very generous and garlic bread. Honestly 2 people can eat from one plate depending how hungry you are. The taste of the chicken and sauce very good and hearty. Cons: 1. My Cesar salad was a great disappointment. No Parmesan cheese! And the dressing tasted like butter. I was really looking forward to a great tasty salad.. For $6 I expected more than just tossed greens in a box with stale croutons 2. The garlic bread was just cold bread with some garlic spread on it. There prices are reasonable for their portions. I ordered online and it took 55 mins. I will definitely give this place another try by buying pizza on my next order. I paid $34 with delivery and tip. I gave this place 4 stars because of their fast delivery and generous portions. read more

I hate writing negative reviews and I really wanted to like John's. Unfortunately, the food was not good. I ordered a salad and a pizza, and wasn't able to finish either of them. Pizza was soggy (so disappointing). After one slice, I just ripped the crust off of the rest of the pizza and ate that only. 2 stars for nice customer service and it looked like the vegetables were fresh. I did order this for delivery, so maybe it is better in the store! read more
