We came here late at night around 9pm and got two slices to go. When you get a slice that late, normally it isn't the best. While it wasn't the best slice of pizza, it was very good especially considering that we came in late on a weeknight. It tasted very fresh. It was interesting how the pizza was plain and we could get any toppings on it after it was cooked. Not our thing but very interesting. We'd like to come back here and sit down to have a meal, we were looking at their other items on the menu which looked very good as well. read more

I'm staying right up the street from Joseph's Pizza so decided to come check it out (that and they have outdoor seating which is DOG FRIENDLY!!!) I started with the cheesy bread and was a little disappointed. It tasted, fine but was nothing special.. they came with no dipping sauce so that could have been the downfall and the waitress was no where to be found to ask for said dipping sauce. I decided to stay safe and just order a cheese pizza. When it came out it was HOT and looked wonderful. The crust had a nice bite to it. Crispy yet soft. Not too much sauce and a great tasting cheese. Overall it wasn't super flavorful but still tasted good if that makes sense? read more

Went to Joseph's during Dancing in the Street and really enjoyed it. I had a ham and mozzarella stuffed roll and thought it was a really good deal, $7 and could easily be split by two as an appetizer. Will definitely be back to try their pizza! read more

Joseph's Pizza - Ham and mozzarella stuffed roll - Italian Near Me - Atlantic Beach, Florida

We went here over the summer last year when we moved here and loved everything but the pizza so we weren't too quick to return. Tonight I'm so glad we gave it a second chance because now I can't wait to go back! We got everything that we loved our previous visit. Started off with the calamari that is perfectly cooked. Tender and lightly battered. You can tell it is freshly cut in house and it is served with their "special sauce" that is unique and oddly addictive. We both continued the evening with salads. I got the small house salad which was a perfect size and their homemade Italian dressing is amazing! My husband being Italian is back home in jersey with their antipasto salad! He said that you can't find many places that put the pickled vegetables on salads like they do up north! He loved it! We also got the must try garlic knots! They are perfectly sized to pop in your mouth with a perfect combination of garlic and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Onto the main event that steered us wrong the initial visit here. We kept it simple for the pizza. We did all mushroom and half with bacon! It came out piping hot! Beautifully cooked! Crispy crust with a nice soft doughy center! Knocked it out of the ball park! I didn't want to stop eating it! The toppings were very generous with fresh cut mushrooms and crisp- sliced quality bacon! By the end of the night Joseph's had redeemed itself as one of our favorite places! Can't forget our server who was so attentive to all of our needs! He was very friendly along with the rest of the staff! Thank you for a wonderful experience! We look forward to going back soon! read more

It's Nothing spectacular, the food wasn't good and the service wasn't the best. Seemed like one or more of the folks had a problem with having customers in the restaurant. I gave a good tip considering the food and service weren't all that good and the fact that she spilled my son's soup all over the table when she brought it- she didn't bother cleaning it up or bringing us napkins to do so ourselves. Even though I asked :(. He ended up with food poisoning that night that lasted for three days. So that was awesome. He ate brunch in the hotel across the street (that morning) and dinner at Joseph's. Not sure which gave him food poisoning but we sure won't be back to either one. read more

There are not many places left in Atlantic Beach were you can find decent prices on food with exceptional atmosphere. Joseph's is a family run Italian business that serves up great prices during happy hour on draft beer and slices of pizza. If you were just rating this on the pizza I would say maybe a 3+, but the overly friendly staff, the outdoor seating and the gracious owner are all a 5. I would say Joseph's puts their own spin on many of their meals (like Italian dressing on a hoagie), and their sauce reminds me of a Northern Italy style... it's not quite a NY style slice, yet they are tasty and thick and can come with an assortment of toppings or just plain. We've been coming there for years (sometimes several times per week) and will continue to do so. The place was redecorated not to long ago and it has a nice vibe. The outside seating is dog friendly and the wait staff will bring a bowl of fresh water to your pup. I mean, who does that??? The bottom line is it's a great place to have dinner and drinks in AB. If you go with the right mindset you won't be disappointed. read more

Great pizza, large menu very friendly staff! Would definitely recommend this fun casual place!

I wish I could give 10/5. So amazing. Worth burning your mouth over the pies come out hot and so good! And the vegan options ARE AMAZING. Their vegan cheese is the best! read more

While service was slow to start, Brian ultimately did a good job. It's a busy place filled with snowbirds and locals. I ordered sausage stuffed mushrooms that were really good, slathered in melted mozzarella and golden brown. I was encouraged. I should have quit while i was ahead. The salad, which came shortly after my mushrooms arrive was very simple, nothing fancy and just fine Then, while i had both courses still on the table. What the bloody hell? The entree arrived. The platter was huge with what appeared to be two thick breasts liberally breaded and fried. Looks are deceiving (see pic below). The breasts which immediately fell away from the breading were paper thin, grey in color and so overcooked i couldn't eat it. The pasta was buried underneath all of this breading and not very good. In all my years of being a chef, i have never seen a chicken Parm prepared and served like this. I don't know how they did it and i don't want to know. Chicken parm is a simple standard breading procedure : raw chicken breast-flour-egg-bread crumb-fry I suggest the mushrooms, then the check. Sorry, it was just fundamentally wrong read more

I love that this place has been around so long and still has such a great following. They have delicious pizzas (NY style and Sicilian) - they also have a great happy hour, including slices of pizza until 6:30 pm everyday. I tried the Mediterranean Platter this time and it was absolutely wonderful. They do not slack on the bread or hummus. read more

Got a vegan pizza, tasted great! Wish they had a vegan meat substitute. The vegan cheese was cheesy and just the right amount!

Folks are very nice, but the food? If your having pizza you are good to go, but if not proceed wth extreme caution. I didn't. Ouch!

This is the absolute best little hidden gem on Neptune Beach! I have visited it frequently coming straight off the beach, with an enormous appetite and continuously been satisfied. The calzone is phenomenal! Today was the best service to date. My server Franceseo was loveable instantly. His charisma, jovial personality and menu knowledge was amazing! As a solo diner, he was a constant resource, yet afforded me the privacy I desired! I'll definitely be back! Do yourself a favor and stop in...its definitely with it. Ask for Franceseo, you won't regret it! read more

First of all, pizza lovers everywhere, very good pizza for a joint that's been in business since last millenium. They nailed their version of the crust down to a science. That said, I've only stopped in twice during Happy Hour where you can buy pizza by the slices but 2 slices for $4.82. Their website says $1.50 per cheese slice. I'm guessing the taxes made up for the other $1.82 which is a hefty tax. Kind of like buy two, pay for three. EIther that or something is not adding up right. The staff was indifferent to me. Just another foot in the door so the three stars are for the pizza only, more than enough to do the place justice. The staff and the suspicious total for two slices is what hurts them from getting a four star. Neverless, I'll certainly stop in for a couple slices every now and then. read more

What a cute little joint! Great service...very friendly and helpful. We had the gourmet specialty pizza, Romagna...tomato herb sauce, house made Italian sausage, roasted red peppers, Gorgonzola cheese and roasted garlic. As much as we wanted to traditional crust, we went for the gluten free crust. Did not free like a sacrifice at all...,delish! read more

Got the Buffalo chicken pizza and it did not disappoint! The service is always really good and I've never had a bad experience at Joseph's

A family run place and forever in Neptune beach this place has lots of good food to try . We liked the venetian pizza . We didn't like the breakfast pizzas at all . Staff is friendly and interested in making it a nice meal for you . Joe bob says check it out but don't expect to be wowed read more

Really wishing I would have discovered this place sooner! I ordered some kind of buffalo chicken pizza that was delicious. I am actually going back tonight to get it again. Every dish and pizza that the servers carried out to other tables looked really good too. They have great happy hour deals on beer and wine as well. We sat outside and I would recommend doing that because it's very relaxing and good people watching in a nice neighborhood. The server was very friendly and attentive, pizza was delicious and you can't beat $2 wine and $1 beer. read more

Well, today was my second time at Joseph's and I'm sold! Started the meal off with the stuffed mushrooms and fried calamari: WHAM. Hit hard with flavor and the ol' taste buds set sail on a journey. I ordered myself a pie topped with mushrooms and feta cheese. When the waiter brought out my pizza, I caught one glance and became light headed. The presentation was perfect, like a Cirque du Soleil show on a plate. What I normally look for in a bad pizza is a greasy sheen or uneven toppings; this was not the case with Joseph's, no sir. Beautiful pizza, no grease, even toppings. But was beauty only skin deep? no, glad you asked, absolutely not. The taste was a thrill ride I did not want to get off of. The cheese was sharp but not overbearing, the mushrooms were subtle but made a bold statement and the feta was straight dope. But Walker, the service- what about the service?! Settle friend, I'll have you know that the waiter was attentive and quick to help any chance he had (shout out to Andrew!). He made great suggestions and I'd imagine even if you ordered a pizza with pickled onions and sardines he'd still come up with a way to make you feel that you made a good choice. Long story short- go. When you're in Atlantic Beach and looking for a hot slice, skip Al's and see my buddy Joseph and ask for Andrew. Tell em Walker sent ya. 5 stars, no competition. read more

I will say that I have eating at a Joseph's for more then 15-20 years now. but, I have never eaten here. I have seen it and past it bye so many times. Today I decided was the day that I stopped in. It's a small place nicely done an all. The wait staff was friendly and gave me everything that I needed to have a pleasant meal. They were there when I needed and no when I didn't want them around. I did go for a pizza but their menu looks really close to the restaurant that I have been to many many times. Downtown on Main Street the original Joseph's. My pie was good the crust was a little thicker then I had wanted. I seem to remember the crust being thinner in town. There was plenty of meat on my pie and the sauce wasn't out of a can like most places. I'm really glad that I stopped in and mad at the sametime. Why didn't I stop before today other then that I'll be back. read more

Joseph's Pizza - The meats pizza - Italian Near Me - Atlantic Beach, Florida

I had the antipasto platter... Good amount of food, and the bread is very good.... Soft inside and crusty outside, just made fresh. My friend asked for their sample pasta dish which had 3 pasta types. He special requested it to be switched to a white sauce, and they accommodated. Very good tasting, but needed some salt (no problem... Everyone doesn't need salt). The price was very low cost compared to other Italian places I've been. It seems most Italian places overcharge but their prices are what I'd expect an Italian place should be. The waiter was friendly. Both times I've been, I got a seat quickly. But possibly lacks seating during prime times because the restaurant is small. read more

Vegan pizza....... FINALLY! Not sure what brand they use but it isn't diaya, which is incredibly refreshing. Pizza came loaded with cheese & my green peppers were cooked to perfection. Crust was delicious and cooked all the way through. I'm so excited to come back! The vegan options here are delicious & not an afterthought, but prepared with love & the same commitment to quality the rest of the food was. very impressed, great location right on the beach read more

I really really wanted to love the food. Adore the ambiance and the cozy feel of it. Tonight was our 2nd time here within the last few years, and while the food is edible, it was just very underwhelming. The red sauce tasted more like bland chili than a traditional tomato sauce (which is fine, it's their own style- I just happened to not like it.) I had the chicken parm and the breading was seriously under-seasoned. Between the sauce and the chicken breading, I was left desiring a lot from my meal. I will say that their zeppoles are fantastic though. read more

If you want a local pizza place that's not a chain, come here! The pizza is good, beer on tap, and the servers are so nice. Everything is made fresh and to order which means don't come hungry because it takes forever to get your food. It's not a big place, only about 8 tables inside, 3 outside. So, don't come extra hungry because it might be a minute until you get a table. If you're not feeling pizza, their other entrees such as their sandwiches and pasta dishes are large and delish, you can't go wrong. Expect to take those to lunch the next day! read more

Super nice staff. Food extremely salty (pizza and rolls) inedible. Meatballs cold. I would not order from here again.

WOW, we've been coming here for 3 years and this time, the Service was 2 stars; Cleanliness 2 stars What happened? Lettuce in salad was brown and carrots were dry...We sent it back and although they offered another salad, we declined the offer. We've been here a few times and the food has always been good but not this time. Our 4 stars has dropped to a 2. I make no amends....consistency is how you keep customers coming back. Order the wedding soup. The Pizza is always good. read more

This is now the best pizza we've had in Jax (still not the best in life). Hand tossed crust is crispy with soft inside, tasty. We got it well done. Good ingredients. Gourmet thin crust not much different from the hand tossed, but yes crisper. I'll just stick to hand tossed. Ask for extra mushrooms (they were light on the toppings). 12" good for 2, unless you're ravished. Pass on the bruschetta. The "traditional" is anything but. Includes a heavy hand of scallions, greek feta (but no big chunks like I'd hoped), and no basil. The bread was way too thick and worst of all, i swear the tomatos were cooked. If not they were sitting in that marinade all day or days. They ruined the best part about bruschetta... read more

The pizza dough has a weird chalky/grainy consistency. The service is weak and the ambiance uninspired. I'm not sure why pizza lovers wouldn't walk around the corner and eat at Al's Pizza read more

Great appetizers but service from staff was a train wreck. I honestly don't see how a business can survive under such apathetic management. I am certain our order was not entered until well after placing. We were assured several times our food would be out "any second" over the course of 45 minutes. The "manager" on duty had no idea what happened or why, even though we were one of two tables left in restaurant, and there were 6 or 7 staff operating the restaurant. After an hour and a half, two of our party of four, received our food. This was about 20 minutes after the first two received theirs. I will not return. I will not recommend this business to anyone. read more

Thin crust pizza win! Big thin crust fan and they won me over with their freshly baked, just out of the oven pizza! They give very generous portions of their food, and for the price it's definitely a bargain. Went on a Sunday evening which I think helped and we didn't have to wait for service but I can see this place getting busy. Near the beach, good food, and good service read more

I only wish I lived closer to this delicious food. At least it's close to be beach so I can walk it off after my meal. Love this place. It's literately a slice of heaven. The pizza and wings are to die for and I've brought tons of people there over the years. They always rave about the place and bring their friends. I love the friendly staff and owners always asking about my meal and my day. I know they have fun events set up for different nights of the week and they keep a bowl of water just outside their door for our 4 legged friends. Great food and great family place. Can't wait till next time! read more

Not sure where the people who gave this place a review of 4 - 5 stars ate. Very disappointed in the food. It's gets 1 star for the small outdoor table area. Drinks are drinks but my wife's fountain Pepsi tasted a little flat and I tried the Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat. Not a good selection. That not being any fault of this establishment. Now to the food. The wife ordered a salad. Not sure what kind but it had very little to no taste even with ranch dressing. I actually believe they brought her the wrong salad. For the rest of our lunch we had a pizza sandwich and a meatball sandwich. Pizza sandwich was greasy with to much cheese and the meatball sandwiches meatballs were very dry with to much of a rosemary or clover taste. Not sure which. Oh well, I'm sure they won't be going out of business anytime soon over my review since they've been in business since 1956. read more
