" Just had a pizza party at John the Baker! We ordered a variety of pizzas so everyone could try a little bit of everything. I was thrilled to find out that they cater parties as well. Pizza after pizza came out fresh, and you could really tell how much love was put into every dish. It felt like I was having an Italian family meal. Service was wonderful throughout, and I’ll definitely be calling for another party soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This has been my go-to spot for Italian food! I love the baked ziti here; it tastes amazing and is generously portioned. The service is generally good too, but can vary during weekend rushes. One of the best things is how they always provide freshly baked bread while you wait for your meal, which is a nice touch. The decor is classic Italian—with checkered tablecloths and warm lighting—which adds to the overall dining appeal. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently ordered delivery from John the Baker, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations. The pizza arrived hot and fresh, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. I got the Margherita pizza, expecting a standard dish, and what I got was a delightful combination of flavors. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the sauce was balanced without being overpowering. However, I did experience a hiccup with the delivery time being longer than expected. Still, overall I was very pleased and would recommend them to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful find! After reading great reviews, I decided to take my husband here for our anniversary, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance was cozy and romantic. We shared the eggplant rollatini and veal parmigiana, both dishes were generous in size and bursting with flavor. The do-it-yourself option for building pasta was so fun and creative! The staff was attentive but not intrusive, allowing us to enjoy our time together. We left feeling full and happy – can’t wait to return with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely experience at John the Baker today! Their menu has plenty of traditional Italian dishes to choose from. I ordered the stuffed peppers, which were bursting with flavor. The service was prompt, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant itself was bright and cozy, ideal for a nice meal out. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a good Italian meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lunch meeting at John the Baker, and I was pleasantly surprised by how great the food was! The menu offered a variety of classic Italian dishes, and I opted for the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was rich, and the meatballs were juicy and flavorful. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow, which made it hard to keep within our lunch hour. Nonetheless, the food more than made up for it. I would recommend it for anyone looking for an authentic Italian meal, just make sure to allow some extra time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by John the Baker after hearing rave reviews about their pizza and I would rate them a solid five stars! The crust was perfectly browned and crisp, and the toppings were fresh and delicious. I loved the classic pepperoni, but I also tried their special veggie pie, and it was full of flavor! The place was busy, but the staff was pretty attentive. I do think they could improve by adding a bit more seating for busy nights, as we had to wait for a table. Still, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a little taste of Italy! " (*Curated Review*)
