Joyce&#x27;s Subs &amp; Pizza

After seeing this place on social media, we've been wanting to come here for dinner…read more The place is split into two rooms, with the front room having the ordering counter and the second room being the dining room. The dining room is small but comfortable, with the back wall being brick and the entrance to the kitchen being on the side. The leftmost wall is white with horizontal wood panels making up the bottom half. Framed pictures of pizza adorn the kitchen entrance's wall and a mock window display holding large cans of tomato sauce can be seen in the back. The room is also illuminated by string lights and a chandelier as well. Finally, a window at the front of the room has a stained glass art of the Luigi's logo. Not sure if there was a miscommunication , but our server thought we ordered the XL Whole Special pizza, which has sausage, peppers, onion, pepperoni, meatballs and mushrooms. We had actually ordered the XL Whole Veggie pizza, which has spinach, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, and eggplant. She was really apologetic and had a small Veggie pizza made for us on the house. Hubs was worried that it was going to come out of her pocket, so he left her enough to pay for the small veggie pizza. I'm glad we accidentally got the Special because it was delicious and my favorite of the two. Daughter and hubs liked the veggie pizza better, though. We were happy that we had both pies for leftovers. Daughter ordered the Italian Hot Dog and she liked it but wished that there were more hot dogs. Other places served more than 1, so she was hoping for more. LOL. I also got the White Clam Sauce Over Linguini and loved this a lot as well. They were generous with the fresh clams and clam meat. It came with a side of Italian bread. Service was very friendly and quick. If the meals took a little longer, our server would come out to update us. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu!

We waited another 30 minutes, and when it finally came out it was burnt and wasn't the pie we had ordered. At that point we left without it. I understand kitchens get busy, but a more accurate wait time or a quick heads-up would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, we won't be back.

A manager who also squeezed through should have asked the bar patrons to move over. Not much can be done with the high noise level. Pizza was good as was the salad. A special of chicken with spinach and artichokes with melted mozzarella was not much more than Chicken Parm but served as a stack of two overcooked chicken with a thin layer of filling, almost unnoticeable with a glob of melted cheese that was served warm, even cold in spots. Linguine with clams came out without clams so returned to the kitchen before being brought back with a few clam shells on a mass of overcooked or reheated linguine that was mush. Another chicken dish was finally brought out as we were half way finished. At least that dish was hot and fresh (the extra star). Our server apologized several times and said he would take care of things on our bill, he didn't but that's not what we were looking for.

He's always there with a smile and greeting for the kids and parents who walk into his deli. And he's willing to set up a charge account so your kid can pop in and grab a bite without you being in tow. But that doesn't even begin to give you an idea of how amazing the sandwiches are. If you've never walked in with a hangover and ordered the Diesel sandwich (a magical creation with breaded chicken, cheddar, crispy, crispy fresh fried bacon and BBQ sauce on a hero) you honestly have not lived or cured a hangover. And if your kid doesn't want a sandwich, he's got chicken fingers made out of real chicken and pizza bagels. As if the friendliness, the amazing deli sandwiches/hangover cures were not enough, Mr. Warren has a wall of Haribo gummi. He's such a huge buyer of gummis that the distributer even sends him Christmas Stollen for the holidays.
