Quiet and extremely friendly staff gave this restaurant a solid four stars. The tomatoes they used for my salad were extremely tough to eat, and I never had that before. Pizza was good overall, bringing an appetite because they take pride in portions, and you will leave full!

We used Google to create our reservation, and when we arrived, a table was already setup, and a Reserved sign was in place…nice touch. The hostess greeted us warmly, and took us to the table right away, no delay at all.

Service is always exceptional. The owner often takes the time to come to your table to be sure you’re being well taken care of. Food is delicious! For the pizzas they have thin, pan” much thicker than pan at most places, and stuffed. The The atmosphere is nice. There we’re 8 of us on Friday night at 7pm and were able to be seated immediately. Their dinners are amazing. But on this visit we had pizza. 2 large pan pizzas with 3 toppings each, 2 orders of mozzarella sticks, and sodas for all. Our bill after we added lil more than 20% for the tip was $100. So basically was only $12 per person. Highly recommend

If you’re looking for an atmosphere that gives Sunday family dinner and staff that gives Long time friends and beloved distant relatives after a long time, then John’s is the place to be. Food is a bit on the $$ side but it’s compensated with outstanding flavors and incredible freshness. Pizza… 1000/10 literally one of the best things on the menu. The lively staff only adds to the deliciousness. The waitresses are polite and very knowledgeable and give great recommendations for new customers. They even accommodate vegan, GF, and Lactose intolerant customers if they have alternative diets or allergies. you’re looking to wow a date, take them to John’s and they will not be disappointed. Nicole was our waitress and she was one of the friendliest people I’ve met!

My husband Kelly and I went there 7 30. We used the Google reservation function and we were taken to our table. This was our first time there. We like to Patronize local establishments. We will definitely be back. Our server was Rachel and she was awesome. She interacted with my husband, and it made our evening even better. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. One thing we noticed it definitely has a family.atmosphere. there wasn’t hostility amongst the staff. Sometimes in the hospitality world, things can get stressed, if they were it didn’t show. I would highly recommend this establishment.

We had a party of 10, and our waitress was terrific. She checked with us often to make sure we were all doing well. The food was delicious, and the size of the meal was just right or a little more than needed. It was nice to meet up with the owner, he was very nice and welcoming.

I love their pizza! I’m from Chicago so my pizza preferences are special. The sauce wasn’t too sweet and they put tons of cheese on it. Their fried mushrooms were also perfectly crispy and delicious. Staff is very kind.
