10 years this place eluded my radar. Someone brought in a pie to the office and I was blown away. That's saying a lot about pizza. I'm eating a "slice" right now. The crust is everything- made from olive oil, milk and flour. Since I know nothing about making crust he could have told me it was made by pizza fairies. Either way, it is light, crispy, and perfect. It's a small storefront place, with 4 tables and a window seat. A perfect place to stop for a slice, or a pepper and egg, or anything else from the menu. The owner loves what he does. You can taste it.

Just LOVE LOVE this place. The Pizza is great every time I go here, the consistency and quality stays the same. The owner greats you as you walk in the door by name. Pesides the pizza, the cheesy beefs are good too. Looking forward to trying more of the menu items.

The pizza was pretty good, but nothing special likethe reviews make it out to be. I got two slices of pizza and a bottle of water and it cost me $8. I could have gone somewhere else, spent less and got better quality food. But, it was fast and helped take care of my pizza craving! They do not accept Discover Card.

Thanks to Yelp, I found out this place existed. After a quick phone call, I realized I was well within their delivery area. Score for me!! I ordered my food at 5 pm on a Friday. The man on the phone was super helpful and nice, and there was some confusion about one of the dishes I ordered--Alfredo Parmigania. We tried to clear it up, and since I was paying with cash, I asked my total (so I could have everything ready for the delivery driver). He said he would add it up and call me back. He never did :( I called him back and found out the total, but I was hoping not to have to do that. The Great: **The chicken wings--FREE w/ the coupon of $25+ order. Not the "triditional" wings. They were crispy like fried chicken and had BBQ sauce almost drizzed over them. Sounds strange, but they were really good!! **The X-tra thin crust pizza. Really good sauce, great cheese, not too greasy, and it was pretty big for a "small". I really enjoyed this, and I am usually not a thin-crust kind of a gal! **Friendly Service **Prices aren't too bad at all! The Not-So-Great: **The cinnamon sugar bites--Good in theory, and the ones that were actually covered in the cinnamon sugar were good, but 80% of them were completely naked, and therefore didn't taste like anything **The pan pizza was just meh. It had grease sogging through the bottom of the box when I received it. WAY too greasy for me. **The Alfredo Parmigania (which we had confusion about while I was ordering it) was described as: "A creamy spin on the much-loved classic.our Chicken Alfredo Parmigania combines the best of both worlds". So I don't know if they just got it wrong, but I received grilled chicken on a bed of alfredo sauce over fettucini. I guess I was expecting something different. Maybe that was my bad?? But in any case, I didn't really care for the alfredo sauce at all. It was really bland. Something I did appreciate was that they called me after the delivery time was over an hour and explained that they were slammed and on their way. It was nice that they did that because I was wondering where in the world my food was! I would definitely recommend and order from them again! I can't wait to try some different items--their menu is really vast!

In the 6 months we've lived in Schaumburg, this pizza is the best we've had. Their crust was amazing, crispy, hand tossed. The toppings were fresh, and the cheese was stringy and not to oily. But the sauce, OH MAMA MIA, THE SAUCE!!!! IT WAS FANTASTICO!!!!! Tasted like something that had been handed down for generations. And $12 bucks for a large pizza on a Thursday night, SOLD!!!! Our new favorite Pizza. 5 stars!!!

The owner is crazy. He started dropping f-bombs like no other because I mentioned the pizza was cold. The delivery man got lost and the food was ice cold. However the owner thought I was lying and called me some nasty names. The owner blamed me for the pizza to be cold.

The owner is a really cool guy and the food is delicious. We have had pasta and pizza from here and have been satisfied with all that we've ordered. I especially enjoy the fried calamari. The owner suggested we try it with some cajun spice, and he did not lead us wrong - yum! We definitely appreciate the friendly service here, too.

Ordered from here based on the recommend of a friend, and I've been so happy to find a great pizza place like Joes. The owner is very friendly and you can tell he takes his quality and customer service very personally. The pizza is excellent, never greasy or bland. You can tell the obvious quality in ingredients that he uses...the cheese is great and I wish I could swim in a bathtub of the pizza sauce. Terrific crust too. We served this as a LEFTOVER to a family member who is a major food snob and he thought we had made this ourselves! (I do make a pretty rockin homemade pizza). It's just that good. Price is great for what you get, I hope Joes sticks around!

To say this place is a disappointment is not enough. We're always looking for a good pizza place in the area and this place had decent reviews. We ordered a pizza and fried vegetables. When we picked up the order, it wasn't ready. We waited for 15 minutes past our promised time. To make up for it, they gave us a bottle of water; the only highlight. We got home, the pizza was crazy burnt and the vegetables tasted like they had been cooked in dirty oil. Calling to complain would do no good for us because we will not be giving this place a second try.

Have been ordering their pizza for a while...They have a great BBQ pizza (Joe's Western) and the drivers are always friendly and fast. I highly recommend you give them a try. I do agree with the one review the cinnamon desert wasn't all that.

I recently went in to order pizza. There was an actual Italian dude in there from Italy. You never see people like them these days. He had a great smile and super polite. I ordered Sicilian style pizza. A little but expensive, but the pizza was great! I will definitely come here again.

Tanya M.
I ordered from here about a month ago, and my picky family loved it! I'm home alone tonight so I got to get my favorite toppings, sausage, mushrooms and spinach and of course an appetizer Tour De Joe's! Last time I ordered the 16 inch pizza was gone in a matter of 15 mins! So this is going to be the ultimate test, don't let me down Joe! I'm praying that the mushrooms are fresh and not from a can! I'm changing it from 4 stars to 5! Best pizza around town! And the mushrooms were fresh!

Joes pizza is awesome! It is our go- to place for good quality Italian. We go there about once a month and Chef Dino ( the owner) always pays attention to every order, he remembers every customer and greets them all. The food is exceptional and homemade. Here are some of our favorites, never disappointed. 1Marinara sauce is family recipe. Outstanding , I could sit and eat a bowl of it. 2 eggplant parmigiana - my wife's favorite. 3 baked manicotti 4 ravioli 5 meatballs 6 pizza without red sauce, not on menu but made to order with fresh tomatoes. We always pickup, but they appear to make lots of deliveries

Excellent pizza, meatballs, and dough nuggets. We had a thin crust and a stuffed pizza. We dined in and the staff was very welcoming. The owners definitely take pride in their business and with their customers. We will definitely eat there again.

Tasty this crust pizza. If I order again I would do extra sauce as they do not put much on.

Customer service was poor. Seems like the people who work here are not afraid to snap at a customer. Customers are important? Anyway. The food was good. Not well worth it. I ask for roast beef and i get steak. I want to spend less than 10$, but i spend over 15$ for a meal that doesn't fill me up. I like that its within a half mile of where i work. That is the only reason why i would go back. I will review more as i order more from them.

So far so good. I havent actually eaten here yet but I went with my bf to pick up his meatball sandwich. Now he loves his meatball sandwiches and he hasnt found a place he likes since his small town eatery went out of business. We yelped meatball sandwiches and this came up as #1 so we went for it. We went and picked it up. There were 2 friendly guys inside waiting for us. He handed us the bag right away and told my bf the total. $6.50ish. My bf was going through his bills and he had plenty of money to pay but the one guy was like, "6 is fine, no problem" So he got the sandwich for 6 flat. That was pretty cool. Tonight he is pretty excited cause he gets it again. I think I will try the pizza :)

I've been dining at Joe's for awhile now and I let me tell you the food is amazing. Great food from the pizza to the beef. This place is good for carnivores and vegetarians. The eggplant parmesan is by far my favorite thing to order when I'm not ordering pizza. You have to try this place.

After arriving to my hotel late I asked the front desk for food suggestions. It was 10:45, 15 min before Joe's closed. The hotel said I was lucky because other places weren't nearly as good. I'm sure they're right. I ended up just ordering a small cheese pizza. They use the word small very liberally. I would consider it to be a medium. I still ate half of it. Very good.

I ordered an extra-thin crust pizza and had it delivered. Ordering was ok. It was a little confusing though. Sometimes the guy would repeat what I said (what I ordered, my name, etc.) so that I knew he had it correct, and sometimes he wouldn't. I'm not sure if that was a bad phone connection or what. But, before letting him go, I just confirmed that the order was right and he did get it right. Delivery was fast. It took around 20-25 minutes. I don't live far away. But, i've had some other local places take over an hour. So, 20-25 minutes is excellent to me. The pizza itself was just ok. I tried the extra thin crust because i'm used to the south side Chicago pizza (thin, crispy crust). This crust was quite soft. We were able to kind of roll the pizza slices to break them apart as we took them out of the box. The flavor was ok. I'd have liked more crispy crust and to have the cheese cooked a bit more (it was quite white) personally. I'd give this place a 2.5 overall. But, since I have to choose between 2 or 3 stars, i'm going with 3 just because nothing was very bad, it just wasn't good to me.

This place has the feeling of your local pizza joint and more. Three things sum up my experience at this establishment - Ultra friendly service (you'll feel like you've known Joe since grade school), awesome sauce (truly "homemade") and fresh ingredients - all at a great price. Three things I'd look for in the pizza (in order of importance): crust, sauce and ingredients. If you are a thin crust fan, you will be pleased that Joe makes them with the crispy crunch. Be sure to dine in because the texture changes when condensation accumulates in a delivery box. The sauce according to Joe, descended from his mother. And it is rightfully so because it is very good. It has the taste and texture of sauce that was made from scratch and simmered in the kitchen for hours to bring out the flavor. The sauce truly earned the recognition of homemade. Lastly, fresh ingredients caps the whole experience. The only setback is that this place has very limited seating capacity and no amenities. Be sure to wash your hands and do you thing before coming. Otherwise, you'll have to use the bathroom at the restaurant across the parking lot and earn some dirty looks. In short, Joe touts that he has the best pizza in town. He truly earned that claim.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
