I've never had a bad experience at Pizza John's. Recently, I've been obsessed with their create your own pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni. The little cup pepperoni get crispy on the sides and are so tasty. The cheese has the best cheese pull and its like magic on your taste buds.

Pizza John's has some of the Best Pizza in Bmore. I do not recommend the Steak and Cheese it was NOT seasoned 😑 The Wings were good.

I have lived in Essex all my 43 years and I occasionally went to Pizza John’s. We have tried other places. When I say we go right back to Pizza John’s….we go running back lol. My husband just bought the wings and they were made just right! He loved them and will not go anywhere else from now on! The cheesesteak and the fish subs are sooo good! Of course the pizza is amazing. We are now officially Pizza John’s customers for life.

I have been eating at Pizza Johns my entire life. My dad used to eat there at the original location. Consistently excellent food every time. Everything is great here. My family loves how you can order at the counter first and then sit down. Will be eating here until the day I die. I won’t buy pizza anywhere else.

Being a first-time customer, I went for a 16-inch "Meat Lovers" pizza for $33.35, along with a 64oz pitcher of Pepsi for $8.15 for lunch. The pizza toppings consist of cheese, pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and ham. Do not expect to find salami or chicken; they were not included as toppings, and Parmesan was not sprinkled on top of the whole pizza. Since this pizza parlor does NOT offer table service, every customer gets his or her ordered item(s) from the counter when ready. Once, I tried to sample a slice of pizza as quickly as possible, not realizing how hot it was, which nearly numbed my taste buds. Overall, it tasted so much better than the Plano-based pizza restaurant chain. But what really disappointed me was that this pizza parlor does not offer Margarita pizza or Chicago-style deep- d
