" Let me tell you, Johnny Jo's is a must-visit for pizza lovers! The garlic knots were to die for, and the pepperoni pizza had that beautiful char that only comes from a well-made pie. The crust was thin and crispy, yet had just enough chew, with quality toppings that burst with flavor. I’ve had bad experiences with pizza almost everywhere else in town, and this place restored my faith! The only downside is that seating is limited to a few chairs outside, but pizza this good is worth the wait. Definitely a repeat customer here! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I sought out Johnny Jo’s on a whim while exploring the city. The menu doesn’t have too many frills, but that's exactly what we loved—the focus is on pizza done right! We ordered a veggie slice and a classic cheese slice. Both were outstanding! The veggies were perfectly cooked and the cheese was melty and fresh. The thin crust was spot on, though we found it a little greasy. While we didn’t get to experience dining in due to lack of seating, we felt quite satisfied with our takeout. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome. We will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Johnny Jo’s is a delightful spot for pizza. The crust was made fresh daily, and I could taste the quality! I had a slice of their signature pizza, which included various toppings. Each bite was bursting with flavor. The only downside is that they were a bit slow on service time, and since it's mostly takeout, the atmosphere is rather lacking. Still, I will definitely be a regular from now on! " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? Johnny Jo's has consistently delivered excellent pizza! Their crust options are number one; it’s thin yet holds up well under the toppings. Just yesterday, I enjoyed a slice of pepperoni, and I was over the moon by its flavor! The staff shared some recommendations for new things to try—wonderful service! Keep in mind, this is a small operation, so be prepared for limited seating. But hey, the takeout certainly makes it easy to enjoy wherever you like! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I love that Johnny Jo's uses fresh ingredients, I’ve had some hit-or-miss experiences here. On my last visit, my pizza was served undercooked and quite bland. The staff were polite and tried to rectify the situation, but I left feeling unsatisfied. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about either—it has a very 'takeout' vibe. I'll probably swing back, just hoping for better luck next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unless you love greasy pizza, steer clear of Johnny Jo's during busy hours! I decided to try this popular spot late one Friday and was quite disappointed. My cheese slice was dripping with oil and lacked flavor. I understand every place can have an off-night, but this left me skeptical. The service was okay, but the cramped outdoor seating felt so chaotic. I might give it another chance during the week and hopefully get a fresher slice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Johnny Jo's Pizzeria does have its charm, especially if you’re craving a classic New York slice. I visited on a Friday night, and it was quite busy, with a line of eager customers waiting for their pizza slices. I opted for the Margherita, which had a light crust with a delicious sauce, though I found it a tad on the sweet side. The portions are generous, but be prepared to wait for your order during peak hours. Prices are reasonable considering the quality. I did notice the staff's pace was a bit hurried, and the service could use a touch of friendliness. " (*Curated Review*)
