The Scene Pizza Joint is very much a local staple, and it wears that badge proudly. The aesthetics aren't trying to impress anyone -- this is not the place you're coming to for ambiance or cute Instagram shots, and that's okay. It's casual, a little rough around the edges, and clearly built around feeding people rather than wowing them visually. The Eats The pizza is solid and dependable, and I'm always down for a slice when the craving hits. That said, the real stars for me are the calzones. They're hearty, well-stuffed, and consistently good -- the kind of comfort food you think about later and plan your return for. Whether you're dining in or taking it to go, the food hits the spot every time. Parting Thoughts Pizza Joint isn't trying to be fancy -- it's trying to be good, and it succeeds. If you're in Augusta and want something familiar, filling, and locally loved, this is a reliable choice. I'll keep coming back for the calzones alone, aesthetics be damned. read more

Great food and friendly staff, nice atmosphere... nice portions. Went for trivia night. Being new to area felt like you can't go wrong with pizza. Was not disappointed. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch. Service was really friendly. The Big One pizza was tasty. I really like the sauce and the crust. Right on Broad St, a great spot if you're local or staying in a nearby hotel and can walk in. Not fancy inside, but comfy. I liked the music they were playing and sports on the tvs above the bar kept me occupied. read more

Never Has This Place Ever Steered Myself Nor My Family Wrong! The Crust Is Crunchy, The Toppings Are Fresh, and The Sauce, as you can see in My Picture, We Can't Get Enough Of. The Pizzaiolos that they train here are Awesome! I, also, admire that there aren't lots of waitresses, but they still get the job done. Just a great place to bring your family for a "New York" Style Slice of Pizza that's not too expensive. read more

Pizza Joint - Slice of Slice Tree Hugger and Slice of Slice The Hawaiian - Pizza Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Two reasons I continue to frequent the PJ; the outdoor seating and the pie selections. Also, some of the friendliest team members there are. Outside you have the covered patio with ceiling fans, but let's not kid ourselves. Until you get to evenings in November it is going to be hot. So I prefer to sit at the tables, which are still semi-shaded due to the buildings on either side and the umbrellas. You hear the Broad Street traffic pass, but at a distant. Birds are chirping, someone's dog is begging for a bite of cheese bread. And on Saturday's, you have live music. Then there's the pizza. My all time favorite remains the cheeseburger. No description required; pizza, that tastes like a cheeseburger. Yes, with mustard and pickles included. I also like the new-ish Detroit pies they serve. And you can never go wrong with their cheesy bread. For some, that alone could be a meal. Of course there's a full bar so whatever you're in the mood for, they have it. For the groups, or very tasty, you can get drafts by the pitcher. No better way to spend a evening! read more

If you want good fresh food please come here. Definitely worth it. Ask for Ms.Hall she owns the store

I was surprised at the average 3/5 review for this place, but on further reading, it seemed it was an issue of getting food promptly which wasn't a problem for me. Pretty fast overall, a 10 min wait Detroit pizza motor head (4/5): never had this type of pizza. It reminds me of Sicilian but crispier, plenty of cheese and sauce and at 14$ very reasonable cost for the size. Slightly heavy on the dough but so cripsy at the edges and base while being soft in middle. Just the right amount of cupped pepperoni and big sausage chunks. Calzone (4.5/5): super crispy yet pillowy dough within, plenty of cheese and ham and sausage filling. It was super rich and better than calzones from regular chains I've had in the past. Went great with the marinara sauce White pizza slice (4/5): cheesy with tons of mozerella and little ricotta pieces melted in. Very strong garlic flavor. Nice that they sell a lot of variety of pizza by the slice so you can try different pizzas without breaking the bank. Overall I would return. Augusta pizza in general is generally not as varied or plentiful as some bigger citie, and I thought this was a decent spot. Cheap beers too. read more

Good but not great pizza , below average service , no very clean and interior is kinda of dumpy. Parking can be tricky but not impossible on Friday or Saturday nights , I may be back in a pinch buy not top of my list when it comes to pizza read more

We thought that this place would be amazing since we have been here a lot but when we order are drinks I order doctor pepper and she gave me sweet tea with I wasn't going to complain. It took forever to get are waiter to get our order. I ordered a pepperoni pizza cut in squares and since I have been her tons of times they always do it. But when the food came out like an hour later then I got a cheese pizza not cut at all but to top it off since she gave me a sweet tea instead of a dr pepper I just asked for a refill of sweet tea then she came back with lemonade ‍ read more

Ordered a large and small pizza to go. Toppings of Pepperoni, Onions and green peppers. Brought home and saw that there was no pepperoni, 6 or 7 small pieces of onions and almost no green peppers. Crust was not thoroughly cooked (we had to finish cooking in our oven.) Price for this poorly prepared wrong order. $46!!!!! Had company at our home so could not return to store. Never again! My last yelp review was critical of the unclean resturant and that's why we now ordered take out. J Decker read more

What happened with the cheese on the White. And the canzone looks like a pancake. Not cool!

Quite possibly the worst pizza I've ever had...their margherita was essentially diced stewed tomatoes on a crust resembling wonder bread, if you looked closely, you might find some mozzarella, and the "fresh" basil that was put on before they cooked the pie. Service wasn't anything to write home about, although I did see the bartender spend 5 mins putting her hair in a tie, yet never washed her hands before continuing to serve drinks (at least she doesn't serve food?), oh and if you look up, you'll see basically everything overhead covered in an almost fur-like fuzz of dust, to include the kitchen area....I actually think some of that dust might make their pies more enjoyable. read more

Ahhh!! Been a long time since I've eaten here and the pizza is still outstanding!! I suggest getting different slices and sharing because the slices are huge and there are so many varieties to choose from!! read more

Tip: Thuraday night is trivia Seats are spaced out because of social distancing, come early to get a seat, since there is no hostess up front and flag your own waitress. During my visitor I saw only two waitress during a Thursday night. read more

Been working in Augusta for about a year and have tried just about every restaurant here. The Pizza Joint is by far the best lunch spot I've found. Food is great service is awesome. Usually get Raegan or Curtis (?). They are both very attentive and polite. read more

Had excellent service and the Calzones were spot on! The best I've had in a long time! Would highly recommend! We sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine and deck. read more

First time at this location in the downtown CSRA area. Been to the location in Evans but not downtown. The atmosphere was not busy at all as there weren't a lot of people during that time. One great thing about this place is that they serve by the slices which is wonderful. They have wings that are delicious but I decided to get a Calzone. The Chauvinistic Pig Calzone was very big and scrumptious and filled my tummy. The marinara sauce was pretty good to dip with. Inside had ham, spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, bacon season ricotta, provolone, mozzarella, Romano cheese, with some Italian herb blend. Every night was delicious. Definitely a meal that will leave you full until you feel hungry again.....but not for while. read more

Omg we had a pizza joint in Columbia SC. That closed. I want to come here while traveling back from Tennessee. No were on yelp or their website are anywhere did it say they had a private party. So after driving OUT of our way. Only to learn they weren't open due to a private party Upset would not begin to expressed my feelings !!!!!! read more

Ordered carry out. It's just not good. Mellow mushroom is much better. The pizza was so thick and the cheese wasn't even melted. The only thing that was good was the salad but that's lettuce so do with that what you want. Waste of $60. read more

When I first moved here, I tried out different pizza places, found pizza joint to be the best. Then they changed the dough. it sad to say when papa johns has a better pizza then a local place is sad. I will not go back until they go back. read more

We have ordered pick up pizza (and also dined in) at Pizza Joint many times over the years. Over recent years, we order the same pizza: The Big One. We always remove onions and substitute with banana peppers. Today, they charged $3.99 for removing onions, adding banana peppers. We questioned and Josh said "We had a price increase." Ok- we get that... but they added the $4 price increase PLUS $3.99 to substitute an ingredient. Josh would not explain the newly added substitution fee on top of the price increase. And nothing was said to me by Josh when I placed the order. So.....$38 for one large pizza...... guess we will "share our pizza love" for other restaurants read more

Ordered a pretty simple meal, Greek salad and Bruschetta, slice of Pizza and hot Yaki wings. The Yaki wings were wrong, the food was cold and the bruschetta came at the end of the meal with the bill. The waitress was fine though. This place has been going down and down and needs a complete re set on service and food Very Disappointing Oh and by the way spoke to the manager and he was not apologetic at all and really did not care about our thoughts. read more

Delicious New York style pizza, definitely the best in Augusta! I only wish I found the franchise sooner.

This place is amazing. Eryka was our waitress and she was kind, knowledgeable and fun! She gave some phenomenal recommendations. We got the garlic knots for an appetizer. Please order these. They are more delicious than you could ever imagine. My husband ordered a michelob ultra and I ordered a strawberry mango beer/wine. I can't speak for my husband but the strawberry mango beer/wine was possibly my fave drink ever. For the entree, we decided to order two small pizza so we could taste two different flavors. We ordered Bleu Buffalo and the bbq chicken. You can't go wrong with either, however Jason and I decided bleu Buffalo won the contest from the two. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant. Delicious and fun, quaint atmosphere. read more

Oh yeah!!! The Pizza Joint is one of the main contenders for best pizza in the csra. I got the spinach and feta calzone and it was awesome! Really good when i DUNKED it in the marinara, so good! And the pizzas i got were extra mozz, pep, and mushroom and it was fantastic. And the second pizza was alfredo sauce, mozz and prov, and broccoli! I know some people rip on broccoli with pizza but that's cuz they don't order it correctly and they don't know what's good. Take it from me, it was wonderful! The Pizza Joint knocks it outta the park! Don't get their "Detroit pies" though those aren't good at all. read more

Update 10/17/22.... I have been three times in the last two months and waited to do my updated review just in case it was a fluke that it was so good ha ha Ha I have gotten the Big Mike sandwich every time and it has been absolutely delicious, loaded with vegetables and cooked to perfection! I would have given five stars, but the pitcher of beer we got Saturday was extremely flat, but cold! Props for pulling it together Pizza Joint!!!! read more

I love this place! Quaint, romantic ambiance and the pizza was divine! I ordered on/line and my order was ready for me when I arrived. The service was impeccable and I even fell in love with the waitress with the tattoos! All in all, a totally satisfying experience. Thanks guys! s/n: You must try the jerk chicken pizza! read more

We waited 20 minutes to be greeted, then 20 minutes for our appetizer, then 40 minutes for our pizza. This lunch lasted 2 hours because our server was nowhere to be found! I have never waited so long for drinks! The server was very nice, so I'm not sure if the kitchen was behind or if she had too many tables, but because we sat and waited for so long, I will not be coming back to this location. I WILL say that the Detroit style pizza was delicious, and that's why I'm giving 2 stars. Something needs to change with the service here because we saw multiple tables around us sitting for 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged them as well. Pizza should take over 40 minutes to cook. read more

Pizza Joint - Detroit style! Our favorite. Crunchy on the bottom - Pizza Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Everything on every website says they close at 10pm. Apparently not, girl telling all the parties coming in that they close at 9pm. Apparently she doesn't make the rules. Another party coming in behind us told the same. Please update the websites. Even put the hours in the door. Lost a lot of business because of incorrect details or the girl deciding to close early. read more

In a time of need pizza joint charges 35$ for a large cheese pizza during the days of the hurricane Hellen then tells everyone it was a miscommunication as the apology for gouging the prices of the very community that would support them.

I've been to pizza joint multiple times before and have found it to be lackluster due to slow service on weekends, and once they ran out of a cheese. Their 2 topping pizza also tastes just like average pizza. However, I came once more to try it and it was amazing! I have finally figured out that you should stick with the specialty pizzas. I got the baked potato pizza and it was absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly baked and crispy, the flavors went so well together, one slice is the size of two normal slices, it's less than $4 a slice.. everything was just simply delicious. Our waiter was very attentive as well! I will definitely be coming here more often and giving their other flavors a try. read more

GET IT TOGETHER, PIZZA JOINT! YOU ONCE WERE THE BEST! I write this after watching the young lady in the kitchen work by herself AGAIN. (Karris, I believe is her name?!) All three of those stars are for her. Id give 5 (for her) but don't want to give the wrong impression to PJ as I am not thrilled about the rest of the place. This comes from a very loyal PJ lover, but facts are facts. It is not the same as it once was AT ALL. Managers there are lucky that they have Karris. Her food is delicous and it even looks pretty. I won't eat there if she isn't in the kitchen. The service is slow. Beer isn't very cold. Thank God her food is good because if it weren't? Oh boy. Close the doors! Anyway...it is a matter of time before Karris moves on to a better place that won't dump on her. Keep up the good work, young lady! And good luck to you, Pizza Joint. (you certainly need it). read more

Excellent service and NY style slices. The manager is awesome!! The best pizza in GA!!

Rating: 3.5/5. The venue was fine and had a shaded patio. The thin crust of pizza was crispy. It was easy to park on the street. The service was average. I prefer their location on Washington road. The service is more attentive. The food come faster as the kitchen is larger to prepare the made-to-order dishes. The decor has a modern industrial feel and is more spacious. The crust is even better with some added chewiness. It is equally easy to park. read more

Recommend: Trying the Mellow Mushroom which is a 3 min walk from this place. Summary: 1. Very poor value for the money paid! 2. Came here as suggested by a student, as we were driving through Augusta- but don't have too many good things to say about the service (see cons below) Pros: Decent tasting pizza and calzone- reasonably priced. Courteous folks, with a hollow service! Cons: I came here at 830pm to order 2 pizzas and a calzone. The wait was 35 mins to get the food. So placed a to-go order, came back in 20 min after short walk. Asked for a beer and was told around 850pm that the last call had happened. Subsequently, around 855pm a, asked for sweet tea and was told they had poured it out. As we changed our mind and sat to eat, which the restaurant was aware, we were given plastic utensils to use- as opposed to proper silverware. Well, I know that this would be the last place I will stop by next time I visit Augusta. Leave it up to those who read my post. I tried to give a local business additional business, but they closed services even before their 9pm closing time. And were courteous with a hollow service and poor value for money read more

Good spot for pizza. Ordered dough bites for an appetizer. Not much flavor but the red sauce for dipping is delicious. Also had the hot wings. If you have ever had wings from NY the wings here are not spicy at all. Not a Buffalo sauce just a type of hot sauce. They come with celery & blue cheese. Had a thing crust pepperoni pizza. Not to bad but nothing out of this world. Dessert we ordered chocolate chip cookies & I am glad we had them warmed up. Just a standard pizza place with nothing special about it. We will go back to try the potato pizza read more
