Service was great, very attentive, maybe a little bit hurried. We're older and slower, so we took longer to peruse the menu and decide. The food was prepared with care and I appreciated the classier touches--hand torn romaine lettuce, and hand cut tomatoes in the green salad. Homemade bread and oil to start with, with real spices added to the oil. We arrived before the restaurant got filled with customers, which made the ambience less observable, but it was quiet, after a few more customers came in, Italian music started playing. My wife gave Joe's a spot on our Yelp "we want to go back" list. read more

Our server was awesome. The food was delicious, fresh and all served at the right temperatures. The warm bread and seasoned dipping oil is amazing. read more

If you want the best of the best in pizza and pasta look no farther than Joes! Hubby and I always go back if we want the best! Their customer service is exceptional. The food is literally just heaven on earth. The bread can easily fill you up so take some home. Try the trip or the sampler & end with a limoncello dessert. You will not regret it. read more

Everything is perfect! When you walk in right away you feel like you're actually in Italy. The owner is very nice. Comes by your table to make sure everything is to your liking. Great prices for all the food you get. I can never eat it all. Always have lunch for the next day. read more

Honestly I can't say I've ever had restaurant service anywhere near as good as I received at Joes. The food was amazing and full of flavor. Seating and the ambience is great and proper and even offers outdoor seating. If you're in Fort Smith you should definitely give it a try. read more

The food quality is consistently good and the service is quick and friendly. This is a boutique Italian restaurant that is a comfortable place to eat. They have great pizza and good pasta - and the homemade bread is the best! read more

Happy anniversary Joe and family. Friendly wait staff . Many are family and Joe prepares all the food. We had dinner tonight to celebrate the restaurant's 16 anniversary. We were not disappointed. The bread and oil were fresh and full of flavor. Next was the salad with homemade house drey. Cold and crunchy. The entrees were hot and generous portions loaded with flavor. read more

Small, Italian restaurant in a strip mall. Pizza was tasty. Spinach soup appetizer is worth checking out. Waiter was inexperienced but tried hard to please. read more

The pasta was average at best. I will say the rolls were outstanding. The pizza crust was made out of the same dough as the rolls. Very flaky. The service was pretty good over all but we were the only ones the place at the time. read more

Joe's Pizza and Pasta - These rolls are great!! - Italian Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

Customer service not great. The trio and lasagna was watery, flavorless , cold in the middle . The sub with Meatballs were pink and watery . The bread was good. I can tell the pasta and meat were frozen . Pasta sauce from the jar , Not fresh . And reheated in the microwave. The manager stated we ate too much bread and that's why the food wasn't great. The manager herself doesn't eat from there . Another customer agreed that the food was disgusting . The loud classic Italian music was destroying the ambiance Don't recommend unless you have unsophisticated mediocre taste buds . read more

Five stars for the bread alone, consistent quality, generous portions. Food is top notch, charming local setting. Get the tiramisu. Don't skip dessert. Only reason 4 star rating is service for take out orders is always lengthy. Ready in 20 always seems to translate to 40. It's worth the wait. Again, the bread alone .... Best Italian! read more

So, I have been to this place a couple of just for convenience sake because is next to the nail shop I frequent. Whelp, a friend and I went as we do after our nail appointments. I decided to try something differnt getting the lobster ravioli instead of my go to the chicken alfredo (TERRIBLE DECISION). It arrived smother to high heavens in sauce. After saving the ravioli from the pool of sauce, I took a bite. It tasted like can salmon and very fishy. I called waiter (such a sweetheart) explain the issue, she took the plate and I ask if it could be replaced with the Chicken Alfredo. I think it was the Manger that came out and told me they don't return or replace and I would still have to pay for the meal. But he did ask If i wanted it boxed up? , if didn't want to eat it in the restaurant WHY would I want to take it home? NAH, I GOOD. So I ended up donating 39.00, listen learned. Good day! read more

Ordered the mussels with linguini tonight and it was a big mistake. Just 8 mussels for $18, plus linguini and tomato sauce. But even worse, the mussels were almost too tough to eat. Either they were very overcooked or had been frozen. I tried a second and then a third to make sure it wasn't just a bad first bite, but they were all that way and essentially inedible. I told the waiter, who came back to say that the owner wouldn't make any compensation because I ate more than one. I didn't expect the dish for free, but I've never had a restaurant that wouldn't adjust the bill, punishing me for trying a second bite. At checkout I told the manager about the problem with my dinner. He didn't care and said they prepare it the same every day. So I'm left to assume the food is just bad deliberately. I will not be back. read more

Great great service, and super nice workers. The food is always delicious, couldn't say anything more.

This place is the bomb. Great people who run it. They have the best keezer salad! Linguini read more

It is a nice clean place, and the service was great. The food was edibl, but definitely not authentic. The veal parmasian was ok, but nothing specia. The veal marsala however was disapointing. Over cooked and inedible. At $18.00 a plate I expected more. read more

My first time trying out this local Italian restaurant, and it was great. The interior is very clean; servers occasionally swept and clean the floor. I ordered their Pasta Sampler, salad, and provided garlic bread with dipping oil. Their menu contains a lot of items which I ended up asking my server to recommend me a dish. Nonetheless, the food were delicious. I can recommend myself to come back again to try out new items. read more

This so-called restaurant had the worst food. It also was extremely bad service. The waiter was ill, mannered and disrespectful. He could not answer questions about the menu. He gave all his attention to friends, who came in. They will never see me again. I will never go back. read more

Have eaten there 10+ times. Would not recomend this place for their prices anymore food isn't good enough to justify. Owner is a cheap skate. Don't order to go. Everytime I have ate in the experiance was good enough. Everytime I have gotten food to go I have been disappointed. After the chat I had with the owner after this disappointing experiance I will not eat there again. read more

The food is excellent and the service exceptional! A small place, but a gem! You won't be disappointed.

Terrible service! We ordered a pizza and waited 45 minutes as people were served who came in after us. When asked if they would discount the meal, we were told no. The mystery manager in the back would not show his face! NEVER EAT AT THIS PLACE! read more

We love Joe's pizza! I have to admit, we've only had the meat lovers pizza, but it's so great, we keep coming back. We want to try the pastas someday, but love the pizza. Good service and very clean. Love sitting on their outside patio when the weather permits. Recommend ! read more

Stay away!!! We had eggplant parmigiana, the eggplant was so tough it could not be eaten. The waiter took the food back but just apologized and said they had a new supplier. I still had to pay $17 for it!! As I was paying the owner said 'some people are lazy' they won't take the skin off while eating the eggplant!! Very rude comment!!! Eggplant parmigiana should be very tender. The owner is very rude and unkind. What kind of person would say that to a customer!!! Poor people that have to work for him!! Stay far away from this establishment!!! read more

I hate to ever leave a bad review but .......no....can not rcommend. The service was good, manager nice, place was cute and clean. The problem is the food. The bread was the highlight but soup, chicken parm, manicotti, lasagna, and ravioli all tasted like they were all out of a can or bag. Really all the items where bad at a minimum sauce would be rated even worst sorry to say. read more

The food here is amazing!!! My husband loved his spaghetti and I had the pasta trio - OMG so good! Andy, our server, was so attentive too! So happy that the golf shop recommended this place! read more

Not comparable to Anthony's. The food does not seem as fresh and they really do not have the best ingredients, think iceberg lettuce for salad. Although we live very close, we still prefer to drive across town to Anthony's. read more

I got scammed by Joe's pizza and pasta! I got a medium pizza that was $19.99 and the total came out to be $27. Pay attention to your receipts they will scam you. Also their pizza is too salty read more

I just love this place, the food is awesome in my opinion, not that I am an expert on Italian food, but I have really liked everything we have gotten there. I always get the Spaghetti and Meatballs, just love the meatballs and don't know why. A bite, nice size, good texture, and the flavor: okay(?)- don't know what it is about them, but I absolutely love em. And with the meal, it's the tops, man. Have had several of the other dishes as well, loved them all. Again with the Great Flavor and Large Portions, but it's true. Haven't had a bad meal yet, all really good, and we have had several. Very accommodating and friendly staff, they really want ya happy. They are ins new building, that had a large deck upstairs and a patio down. From what I could see, it looks really good. read more

I arrived to pick up my call in order, called them to let them know I'm here, and the kid says they don't do curbside anymore. I hesitated, thinking what I was going to do. I don't have a mask in the car, I'm type 1 diabetic, and I care for the elderly. So I quickly made a decision and said okay well thank you anyway. I couldn't tell if he was going to make an offer to allow me to do curbside, so I said, "are you just going to cancel my order?" And he says, "well I mean can you not walk?" I was stunned that this person was actually working in a customer-facing business so while I sat there, trying to figure out how to respond to that, he must have realized how inappropriate that was because he fumbled over himself, saying he could bring it out if I really needed him to, but at this point it was very clear that he was being a smart-ass and thought he was going to get away with it. So he brings my ticket, takes my card and runs it, and comes back out with my food and says and by the way we're not doing curbside. I started to put him in his place, but he ssssh'd me. He sssh'd me! This kid, who looks like he's in his mid-20s and mad at his parents for passing down the poor body shape and crazy hair ssshh'd me. I mean, I guess I get it. He probably wanted to be somewhere where people think he's precious but instead he got me. So, there you go. Service is always less than stellar here, but this time it warranted review. read more

Great food and cool location. Recently remodeled with a really cool patio

I've been a Joe's pizza a few times now and I can't say anything bad about the food. It all is very good, homemade, and filling. It is a clean and a nice place to eat. The reason for the 3 stars is the price. Each time I've been the lowest amount I've spent has been around $30. The last time I went with a friend the total was $43.78... for the two of us. We didn't get any appetizers, no alcohol, no deserts, we didn't order steak, or any seafood. Just two sodas and two dishes, nothing fancy either. So in all, good food, expect high prices. read more

Joe's is a local "chain" (by chain, I mean his brother Frank owns an identical restaurant in Van Buren called "Frank's"). With Italian food, there are two levels... budget (Olive Garden type) and high-end (the ones with Italian names and cloth napkins). Joe's is in the budget category, and one of the best in that category. It certainly blows Olive Garden away. The food is good and it's easy on the wallet. If you want to eat ultra cheap (for lunch, say) the stromboli is delicious and, at about $5, not pricey. I love the pasta bakes and spaghetti varieties. The bread and oil you're given as an appetizer is fantastic. Just don't fill up on it. Joe's is great for a dinner withe the family or even a date (they have wine now!) without breaking the bank. Ain't nothin' wrong with that. read more

Overpriced for what it is. Very distracting trying to enjoy a nice meal when you have two TVs playing random shows. They love to nickle and dime, you want to share a plate or have any modifications it will seriously cost you. Bread was very good, main course was just ok. read more
