Best pizza, hands-down, for sure the taco pizza. Steph is always super friendly. They do a cute thing for birthdays. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is always clean and upkeep[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love that you get to watch them make your pizza through the window[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have ice cream and a game room and during the week they have a lunch buffet

We had amazing service and took advantage of the Wednesday night family deal. The pizza was delicious and perfectly cooked. It was also nice to see a newly maintained parking lot, smooth, and safe for all ages.

Huge shoutout to Happy Joe's Pizza & Ice Cream! Yesterday, we had a post-meet celebration lunch for our Preble Cross Country Boys and Girls teams. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Terri and her staff were so good to us, the pizza was amazing and the atmosphere there is so fun and relaxed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's so nice to have a wonderful place so close to our school where all the runners could feel celebrated after their first official meet! Finally, kids are in high school for only so long and it's little things like this that help make nice memories. #supportlocalbusiness

Happy Joe's has the best Garlic Cheese Toast
Sandy S.

Happy Joe's is always consistent, with attentive wait staff, a fun game room for the kids, ice cream and of course, delicious pizza. We love Happy Joe's and we have been going there my whole life. I have no idea why I have never reviewed it before. We love their garlic cheese bread - it melts in your mouth...served as slices of french bread and cut in half, these are making my mouth water as I am typing it. Hot, cheesy, crunchy, garlicy - so good! Our favorite pizza is a unique blend of canadian bacon and sauerkraut - which i know sounds awful - but it is the flavors together that make it delicious. They call it the Happy Joe's Special and we love to order it in a Monster size...which has more middle pieces and of course more crust pieces, because of the size. In addition, we love the pepperoni pizza, whether it is the normal pepperoni or their special pepperoni with three different kinds of pepperoni on it - it is amazing! Happy Joe's also has an assortment of taco pizzas - with my favorite being the Taco Joe (refried bean sauce, taco-seasoned beef and sausage, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and taco chips). When possible again, the salad bar is one of my favorite things, with the pizza buffet you have a chance to sample different kinds of their specialty pizzas, breadsticks, garlic breads, and pastas. I don't really like dessert pizza, but if I am going to eat it, Happy Joe's has some of the best!

Happy Joe's is all nostalgia for me. When I was growing up as a youth (40 years ago) my parents would take me and a few friends for 1 or 2 of my birthday parties to a HappyJoe's in Appleton. I remember there being steps up to a small platform where you could watch through a window while the pizzas are being made. I also recall the gaming area which in the early 80's I remember as definitely being "all that". The birthday boy always received a small ice cream sundae and your own personal junior pizza. Oh those were simpler times and fond distant memories of years past. I was aware there are still a few Happy Joe's in our state, but haven't had the chance to visit one until remembering there was this one in Green Bay. This location seemed similar to what I remember of the Appleton location. The same window to watch your pie being made. My teenage son even humored his dad by standing on the viewing platform just long enough for me to take a picture. There was a gaming area albeit not quite what I remember. The pizza has a crunchy crust. I remember Happy Joe's pizza having small pieces of Italian sausage and this seems not to have changed. I remember the meat having a little more spice, but likely that's just an inaccurate recollection. Our pizza was solid but nothing spectacular. They have a $22 large 3 topping pizza with 4 sodas special on Tuesday & Wednesday nights. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Happy Joe's.

Friendly service and great food every time. Best pizza is the BLT pizza. Yum the salad bar is always fresh

I don't order pizza often but when I do I always get happy Joe's. It is always hot when it arrives and always gets here sooner than expected. We build our own with sausage, onions, green peppers and pepperoni.

The last time we went at 2pm on a Thursday during a heat wave in the summer. It was not busy. we had been out running errands and stopped in for a quick beer and appetizer. Wait staff is always so nice and it was exactly what we needed. They have something for everyone and the food always is fresh and doesn't seem frozen or processed. Definitely one of our go to spots on the west side

Hinterland is…read morethe type of place where you can be super casual but also enjoy a more elevated dining experience. The main dining room can get very loud on busy nights so I appreciated the more closed off space for a large dinner event. The caveat being we received spotty service - for example, water pitchers were set in the corner and you had to get up to pour your own water. At minimum, it would've been better to just leave pitchers on the table directly for faster access. Food was hit or miss. While we loved the appetizers, half of our table found their main entrees to be MEH. For example, my halibut arrived warm but the curry was room temperature. My colleague said her burger was one of the worst she's had. My other colleague said his steak was mediocre. People who ordered pizza loved it. An unfortunate mixed bag given the lively environment and nice ambiance. I'd come back again to give it another try because the menu rotates enough where I'm sure I'll land on some better food options next time.

Walked in 15 minutes ago and was refused a table again even though there were several open and I offered to move if a larger group showed up. I suffer with a back injury and have explained this to the same lady behind the bar. We usually have worked out that I can sit at a table unless it's needed for incoming guests. I can't enjoy my meal with my body hurting (and this has now forced me to leave Pasquale's a 2nd time before even getting menus) and I think it would be beneficial if Pasquale's took into account some people might have issues you can't see! If I could rate JUST the FOOD it would be 5 stars. Unfortunately the customer service overshadows that.

The food, while I had no trouble cleaning my plate, was quite mediocre. I ordered the mushroom ravioli with chicken and rosso bianco sauce, which is half red and half alfredo sauce. It was weird that they weren't mixed, but plopped on the plate side by side. I know, I can mix it myself and I did try, but it was hard to do when over a clump of stuck-together ravioli. The chicken was clearly pre-packaged, pre "grilled" chicken (you know those fake grilling lines? It was like that). Garlic bread was tasty but on sort of low-quality bread, it seemed. My mom felt the same about her dish, cavatappi with a spicy red sauce and meatballs, and she said the meatballs were definitely frozen and reheated. She wasn't impressed. I fully understand that we may have ordered the dishes Pasquale's isn't known for. Maybe the sandwiches and Italian Stallion rolls are much better! If you're craving a basic red sauce joint (which I do quite often), this place will scratch the itch. That's about it, though.
