    Ricotta and pepperoni slices
    Kathleen D.

    I'm glad Jo-Jo's is as good as I remember! I used to work downtown pre-pandemic, so I'd stop by their Main Street location pretty frequently. With transitioning to remote work in 2020, my hours and their hours just didn't mesh any longer, so I haven't been in roughly five years despite loving their pizza. Their Midlothian location is not around the corner, but I made a special trip last weekend. Jo-Jo was manning the counter, and I ordered the 2-slice special, selecting the ricotta and the pepperoni. The pepperoni was the clear winner for me, but both were tasty. Now they need to open a Jo-Jo's West End location!

    Cheese pizza and spinach and feta pizza
    Jenny S.

    Very good pizza! The crust on the pizza is nice and crispy, which is hard to find. The cheese pizza was the best. I also ordered the spinach and feta pizza. They have a great lunch special, which is $9.99 for 2 slices and a drink. Definitely check this place out!

    Pizza by the slice

    Hands down best pizza around. If you love a true authentic NY pie this is the place for you. I did a review already but not sure where it went. So I NEED to make sure you know about this place. Everything about this restaurant is what I remember and love about pizza in NY. Right when you walk in there is a case that showcases the pizza they have by the slice. Most places around do not do this. The variety is always great and I have seen something different that I want to try every time I come in. You order your slices at the counter. We paid, grabbed our sodas at the soda fountain and the slices were brought out to us after they were nice and hot. The owner's are always so talkative and friendly. There are plenty of seats and tables past the counter. I think there were 2 TV's on the wall. The dining room is alway clean. This restaurant is near our old house. And there are a few pizzeria, Italian restaurant close to us. But if I need a real great pizza this is the place that I need to come to.

    Best pizza I have had in the Richmond area so far! I have been here for about a year, and it took me way too long to find a place like this. Awesome vibe, delicious pizza, friendly staff. The crust is perfect consistency. I will be ordering take out in the near future for sure. Thanks Jo-Jo!

    Food, service and ambiance is why this is the place to go if you are looking for a casual place to hang out with friends It's clean and has tables you can put together to make one big table for a larger family or friend gathering. I can highly recommend this place especially the owner is very kind and happy to see his customers. One more thing if you just want a slice of pizza they offer that too.

    Thank you thank you thank you for opening on Midlothian Turnpike! We have been desperately needing an awesome pizza place on midlo turnpike. Granted I am a little biased since I was always a big fan of the downtown location when I worked downtown 10 plus years ago. So excited that they will be down the street from us, only 5 minutes away! We called for carry out around 5:15 soon after it opened and they estimated 30-40 minutes. They just opened over a week ago, heard their first Friday was packed! We ordered a Large Pepperoni Pizza and a Pepperoni Stromboli... ahhhmazing! I love love the marinara that comes with the Stromboli you can tell they made it and add extra spices. So delicious! Right now they are still super busy so there really isn't a need for a delivery option, but I would love it if they do delivery at some point... they would be so convenient. Can't wait to pick up pizza again... next time we will have to get the BBQ Chicken one of my husband's faves from the downtown location! Just realized they have online ordering https://jojosmidlothian.hrpos.heartland.us/menu

    Half Buffalo chicken, half bbq chicken (added Italian sausage)
    Xenia C.

    I had been waiting for this location to open up for a while! When I went to VCU my internship ordered from the downtown location and it was heaven. I ordered a large (16") pizza half Buffalo chicken and half bbq chicken (and added Italian sausage) well done and the pizza was as good as I remember. I ordered to go and the flavors were amazing and I ate everything down to the crust. The calamari almost didn't make it home and my bf loved that they do all rings. The interior of the restaurant was spacious, clean, and inviting and looked like it could accommodate both small and large parties. The gentleman who took our order that day was patient and helpful and showed us the variations in size with the pie pans. I'll definitely be returning!

    Great pizza. Entrance is up at the top next to the gas station, can be a little confusing but not a deal breaker.

    We went back to INoodles for the second time today, and it was just as good as we remembered. Our…read moreserver Wendy even recognized us from our first visit about three weeks ago, which made the experience feel extra welcoming. I ordered the Chicken Mushroom Noodles again, and it did not disappoint--the chicken was incredibly silky and flavorful. My wife tried the chicken stir-fry noodles, and those were just as tasty. We also had the soup dumplings, which were excellent--held together perfectly when picked up and definitely better than the ones at Ugly Dumplings in Willow Lawn. Everyone was friendly, from the kitchen staff to the manager, and the atmosphere really stands out. We love the decor, especially the old-school Hong Kong movie themes and quotes throughout the space. We'll definitely be coming back again soon! Note: I wouldn't call it Tokyo vibe tho.

    This is a very cute food court style-looking restaurant (see pics to see what I mean). It's not a…read morefood court but it has very picturesque décor. Food: 4.5/5 -good flavor and good size portions for the price Service: 3/5 -they must not be used to having large groups and the restaurant packed because there was only like 2 people waiting tables and our large group of 20 waited 30+ min just to get the checks sorted because we were paying in smaller groups, but did still charge a flat rate table charge for large groups +on the plus side, instead of forcing us to pay using one check, they did let us split the check how we wanted +this place is kid friendly as there is a window opening to the kitchen and one of the chefs allowed kids to make their own dumpling and cooked them for free Bottom line: great food, just don't come with a large group or when it's busy
