    Toscano pizza
    Daisy Z.

    Came here for dinner. Place was hopping. We had a short wait before being seated. Ordered a pizza to share and a special order pasta. Server was very friendly and service was good. We ordered the Toscano pizza - chicken, sundried tomatoes and spinach. Not much chicken meat on the pizza. Crust was thicker than what we expected but tasted great. The spaghetti with olive oil and garlic tasted good despite swimming in olive oil! Also had the tiramisu for dessert. Was decent.

    The best Italian wedding soup in the area hands down.

    The only place I will eat thin crust extra crispy PIZZA. The only place that feels like Chicago pizza thin crust. Everyone I bring loves it TOO.... A MUST TRY.

    Small 10" Pizza: Sausage, jalapeño, onion - with extra sauce under the cheese. Perfectly crispy & chewy down to the last slice! ($13.75)

Because EVERY TIME I've eaten here, someone is illegally parked in the ADA parking spots and I have asked the restaurant to have the illegally parked vehicles towed and the employees refused. Florida Statute REQUIRES businesses to enforce ADA parking on their property and the Statute states that the business SHALL have the offending vehicle moved. It doesn't say that they have the option. It says that the SHALL. People in wheelchairs need the hashmarked aisles to enter and exit their vehicles. When the ADA spots are taken illegally, truly disabled customers are discriminated against because of the lack of accessibility. Or, they are forced to have to park in more than one spot and push hundreds of feet through the busy parking lot. Today's offender has an expired ADA placard. It's been expired for over seven months. That usually means that the person to whom the placard was issued has died and a family member is using it illegally. As has happened each time when I've asked to have the offending vehicle removed, the employee with whom I spoke refused.

Large cheese, pepperoni, sausage and jalapeño pizza hand crafted, baked and stuffed into a corrugate box piping hot and ready to go, timing is everything when a pizza has to travel and my timing is usually impeccable. The pizza traveled well and was good to eat without an additional heat source - paper plates, a pop and dinner is served. This was my first pizza from Five Star, the box had me doing a double take when I read the top my eyes went directly to the words "Best Value" hey I'm not a pizza snob and I ain't pretentious but I've never been a fan of bargain pizza, now before I bit into the first slice I got an image in my head of the CEO in a fancy boardroom saying "we are going to serve some decent pizza at a great price " Yikes!!! Well to be honest it wasn't love at first bite, I think this pizza grew on me about halfway through the second slice as the endorphins kicked in from the heat of the Jalapeños I like hot and spicy and these peppers are the real deal and plentiful - note to self if you're not the holy crap these are hot type you may want to request light on the Jalapeños at least that what I'm thinking if there is a round two. There are so many options when it comes to pizza in the area that a pizza shop needs to really bring it when it come to quality ingredients and execution - nothing bad here by any means but it doesn't make my top five unfortunately. Great staff, professional, courtesy and friendly but the product has to be exceptional, that's the real value and this one fell a little short in my opinion but the price was right...

    Being a Chicago native, I'm always interested when a restaurant advertises "Chicago" food…read more Particularly Italian Beef. What I've come to realize is that most places advertising this don't have a clue what real Chicago food is. They are merely imposters trading on a name. Jo-Jo's is different. They are a master-class in producing some of the finest Chicago staples outside of the Windy City itself. Friendly staff, cold beer (soft drinks too!) and amazingly authentic Chicago fare. Thanks, Jo-Jo's!

    Let me set the scene: I'm a self-proclaimed connoisseur of Chicago food. Thin crust, Italian beef,…read moredeep dish -- I take this stuff seriously. So when I ordered from JoJo's while vacationing in Daytona Beach, my expectations were... let's just say cautiously pessimistic. Beach town pizza has burned me before. Chicago-esque places outside of Chicago have broken my heart more times than I care to admit. I was not prepared for what happened next. The woman on the phone was an absolute delight -- warm, upfront, and honest that the kitchen was slammed and our order would be about 50 minutes. No problem. We're in vacation mode. Island time. We'll take a walk on the beach and meet you there. We ordered a large thin crust, a big Italian beef wet/sweet with a side of jus, and a personal deep dish for good measure. When we arrived for pickup, the place was hopping -- buzzing with energy and the kind of vibe that makes you wish you'd planned to eat in. And then we tasted the food. Holy. Cow. This is the best Chicago-style pizza and Italian beef I have ever had outside of Chicago -- and I'll go further than that -- it's better than places I've actually eaten in Chicago. The thin crust was perfect. The beef was phenomenal. The deep dish? Don't even get me started. JoJo's didn't just meet the bar. They cleared it completely. We will absolutely be ordering again on our next trip to Daytona. Consider this a standing reservation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
