    Pizza J is the coolest spot with pin ball machines everywhere! The menu is great with tons of options too. I had a vegan pizza and one of my friends had a pizza with meat and cheese on it. It's great that there is something for everyone. My friend is from New York and will always pick this spot to go to for pizza.

    A great time. Kids loved the arcade games - can't beach the lunch special for pizza for two slices and a soda for $9!! Kids loved the pizza. My daughter tried the vegan chicken- she was ok about it. The chicken Sando- not pictured - was excellent!

    I loveeeee pizza j! We get pizza every year here for pi day! My friends who have gluten allergies and soy/dairy allergies can get stuff from here which is a big win. The pizza is really good. The ambiance is fun too. It's not your average pizza place! It's got art, neon signs, pinball machines and more! The service is great too. I'm always happy here!

    Smoked Wings
    Eric M.

    I swear everything the owner touches is awesome! Came here for Lord of the Wings and wow what a great SMOKED wing! Yes that's right! Juicy full of flavor, fresh! One of the only smoked wings I've had in the challenge and definitely one that would be hard to beat. But the pizza WOW! Huge pie, thin crispy no flop! I could have eaten the whole thing on my own embarrassingly enough. Full of toppings definitely a popular spot! The waiter was so kind and hospitable, if every restaurant had him there would never be a complaint on service. Love the quirks of the place! The pinball machines and arcade vibes but also the old school music and classics on the projector. Highly recommend checking out this spot

    Garlic fries

    Fantastic pizza spot that has trivia nights, pinball machines, and just a really fun vibe. Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and all the ingredients, and helped us make any modifications we needed for our food allergies. They also have an entire vegan menu, and we were very appreciative about how accommodating and accessible they were. We split some garlic fries (with a sub of vegan aioli) and one pizza (love that they could do half and half). We got a half of the Strutter (sausage and peppers) and half of the Neurotic Sasquatch (BBQ chicken), and both were fantastic. Really happy with our dinner here, and would love to try more pizzas!

    This place was a great find. Pinball machines, to the music, to bob ross on the tv (happy trees= happy me) The pizza half Rita and half Good Carma so good. The garlic fries out of this world and the garlic knots amazing. The service was awesome, Jona the bartender so helpful and knowledgeable. Gave us recommendations for more local favorites, that I plan to check out. The whole vibe was great, busy on Monday, what does that tell ya. I will be back to try more of the selections.

    half Strutter Pizza and half Roni
    Philip G.

    I absolutely love Pizza J! Solid, classic, and consistent NY style pizza with great crust. They accommodate half and half toppings at fair prices and they also have delicious smoky wings (I like the sweet Thai chili sauce on the side)! Cute spot to eat in with a hip and quirky vibe from the decor to the pinball machines and themed bathrooms... and friendly service! I usually call ahead for takeout but when I dine-in the cocktails are awesome. My favorite pizzas are The Strutter, The King Tidal, and the Roni. They also have a convenient parking lot with extra street parking as well.

    Yummmmmm!!! Fifth time having pizza from here and it was just as delicious and satisfying as the first!! Pizza was ready when we got there (pick up order) hot cheesy and delicious!! Cooked to perfection!

    Late night putting my toddler to bed. We ordered three pizza pies - I am do glad it's delicious and still good to go on eating

    Great experience, walked in on a Sunday right after opening. Everyone greeted. Us and we decided to sit at the bar. Excellent menu of signature cocktails, prepared perfectly. Ordered a cheese pizza which is a great value, hand tossed fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. The fries are a must. Each of the 3 times I've visited the fries are served hot and crispy, with just the right amount of salt. Scan for you menu and pay using your phone is also an option. Plenty of pinball machines and slice pies available if you want to stop in and grab a slice of the road. Great drinks, food and service.

    There's a lot going on in here... Including really good pizza.

    In a city filled with red sauce Italian joints and decades old pizza traditions, Pizza J throws the rulebook out and builds something completely original. Under spinning disco balls and the watchful eyes of vintage movie monsters, while Bob Ross quietly paints his happy trees on the TV above the bar, they're turning out serious pies without a serious attitude. The sauce here has something to say - tangy, herbed, refusing to play backup singer to the cheese. That crust manages to walk that line between chewy and crisp, the kind of technique that tells you someone in that open kitchen knows exactly what they're doing. Get the cheese slice - it's a chance to taste everything in balance. The pepperoni's a showoff, all cup-and-char bravado, muscling all of the other flavors off the stage. This is pizza for people who don't need their restaurants to look like museums. The pinball machines ping, the jukebox blasts Zeppelin, and nobody's pretending we are in Naples. My kind of joint.

    Always a great stop. The pizza was great, we enjoyed a couple different specialty pizzas. One was carbonara style (thought it needed a little more seasoning) and one was various meats (my favorite). We also tried the wings, very good with a nice smoked flavor. The beer list was good as always. The service was great. Very informative and helpful. We always love the eclectic decor and various activities within (pinball, movies, etc.)

    You never see pinball machines anymore.

    See all

So, I was understandably hesitant about a new bar moving into what was considered by many to be hallowed ground. Since I walk by it on my way home from work, I decided to stop in soon after it first opened to see what it was like. And now I am a regular and it's one of my favorite watering holes in the city. Super cool atmosphere, with tons of horror movie memorabilia on the walls. A couple of pinball machines ( including a brand new Evil Dead one which is really sweet), and neat liitle outback area for nicer days. They also occasionally have music and drag shows inside, and in the summer months cool shows outside in the parking lot next door. You can also grab a grilled cheese or a hot dog from Puggles Grilled Cheese most days of the week if you're feeling peckish. And my favorite thing... PICKLEBACKS.... !!!! All the drinks are cheap and they have a good selection of beers and ciders. Maybe most importantly, the owners Jeff and Courtney are absolutely lovely people who really understood keeping the locals vibe of the E & O era but also being it's own thing. Definitely support this great establishment.

Not the kind of place I really want to sit in and enjoy a cocktail. Dungeon like. The music is loud hip hop, not something I mind, but worth noting if thats not for you. I sat at the bar, and honestly didn't feel like it was super clean. I don't think the counter had been wiped down for a while. Staff were doing their best but seemed overwhelmed on a Saturday night. I was watching them make the cocktails and did not feel like it was very sanitary. They've got one small sink they're rinsing everything in, they were chucking stuff, literally chucking and slamming metal. They were dumping out people's drinks into the same side of the sink and then rinsing in the other side. But stuff was splashing into what should be the clean side. It's not a good setup for a cocktail bar. The cocktail menu had 8 drinks on it, 2 they were out of. Nothing had whiskey in it. I got a drink called Darjeeling something. Really didn't like it, didn't taste balanced and it looked different than someone else's who ordered the same thing, not sure if the bartender forgot an ingredient. The bartender also wasn't tasting the drinks which I usually see to ensure it was made correctly. This one had curry in it as a listed ingredient and it was just way too strong a flavor. It was a rum drink with some mezcal but it just tastes like mezcal and curry powder. The place was pretty busy but people were coming and going frequently. There's only one bathroom which really isn't enough for a bar. Seems like there's potential here but I didn't like the menu offerings and the sanitary concerns leave me with no desire to come back here.

A lovely woman in the restroom overheard my friend and I unsure on where to venture, and she suggested this place! Moody and welcoming. Absolutely loved it. We went in ~10:45 on a Wednesday pm. Apparently they do live jazz weekly as well, but we'd come too late. A handful of bar patrons, a couple making out in the back of the dining room at their cute table, a lovely bartender, me& my bff. We really hit the jackpot for ambiance last night. Decor in there is so cute. I wish I took a picture of the table lamp on the bar. It was embellished with beads hanging on the rim of the shade. Our drinks were top notch. Mine was a citrus vanilla profile and hers was a savory martini. The sandwich, I had one bite of it was yummy. I don't like imitation lunch meats though. CATFISH was breaded and fried fabulously. Not oily. Crispy and crunchy. So happy to have discovered this place! The bartender told us they just celebrated 6 years of business!
