    Pepperoni slice
    Melissa R.

    Visiting New York to see family and work and stopped at Joe and John's for a quick slice. It was delicious! Thin, crispy, and a tasty sauce. Try the Italian nachos too. I didn't get then this time but I've had them in the past. Also very good. Garlic knots, topped with various meats, cheese and sauce. Yum! Lots of seating and priced at what you would expect these days.

    Me,My cousin & our friend really wanted a slice of NYC pizza. John & Joe's closes @ midnight. It's one of my cousin's & mines fave spots since we were kids. We ordered ahead of time for to go. When we got there the pizza was already done. We decided to eat in b/c my cousin lives too far. I love my pizza piping hot & so does our friend. The workers were nice to us & bought our pie out to our table. It's small inside but cozy enough.

    Exploring the area I normally ask Yelp what's good ? But today I decided to ask a local what's your favorite pizza spot ? The Bronx is where it's at! This restaurant was recommended by a local Irwin Rock. He told me to never believe what they write online so Thank you for the recommendation. There is ample parking at this location. Use the park NYC app to explore the neighborhood it's a Corner spot with tons of parking $17 for a one topping pie. After eating I would pay 2x for reals for reals . Made to order freshly prepared 20 min Open kitchen and the dough he was prepping looked out of this world. I was gonna get a slice at first to try but I overheard this gentleman talking about the golden days to another patron that was when I knew I had to go for the whole pie. From my observation dude is reputable cuz the pie was fire! Sheesh ! Supreme If heaven served a pie it definitely came from Here. Brother John and Brother Joe and staff thank you for serving a damn good pie

    You will not find a single person locally who hasn't eaten from here for good reasons, this is a long standing pizza place and it definitely shows with the old school aesthetics inside. They have the best priced garlic knots, it's really hard to beat the 10 for $1 they have kept. They have an extremely large menu There are a lot of employees in the store working at once. The owners are extremely friendly and are fun to talk with if not in a rush. They have a strong connection with the local community.

    All gone!!!

Take me to the pizza store to sit and eat that delicious pizza. My this spot had been so good to my family 20 years now and counting!! God bless this owner.

    Orderered the spaguetti with meatballs. The spaguetti was fine but the 2 meatballs were mushy and bland. Meatballs are not fried. Waste of money.

    This is my neighborhood pizza spot. Well you can get 10 garlic knots for 1$!!! Beat that, and let me tell you these are not ordinary knots, they are fresh done well and crispy! Their plain pizza slices are good, I am not a big cheese aficionado, but still get them once in a while. Good crust and fresh. If you ever in this place, you will know that they serve it right and fresh!

    The GOAT of Bronx Pizza. Period…read more If you want to know what real New York City pizza is supposed to taste like, stop looking and get to Louie & Ernie's on Crosby Ave. This isn't just a meal; it's a Bronx institution. The Vibe: Old School & Authentic This place is as "old school" as it gets. It's located in the basement of a house, and walking in feels like stepping back into 1959. There are no fancy decorations or "artisanal" gimmicks--just the smell of fresh dough and a gas oven that's probably seen more history than most museums. * Pro Tip: It is CASH ONLY. Don't be that person who gets to the counter with a card; come prepared. The Pizza: The Best in the Bronx I've had a lot of pizza, but this is easily the best in the borough. * The Crust: Paper-thin, perfectly salty, and has that signature "Bronx fold" with just the right amount of char on the bottom. * The Sausage: This is their claim to fame. They use huge, fresh chunks of sausage that are packed with flavor. It's heavy, it's greasy in the best way possible, and it's legendary. * The Sauce/Cheese: The ratio is perfection. The sauce is tangy and bright, and the mozzarella is creamy and never "rubbery." The Service The staff here are exactly what you want in a legendary neighborhood spot--friendly, fast, and no-nonsense. They keep the line moving, but they treat you like a regular even if it's your first time. Verdict: 10/10. It's simple, it's classic, and it's the king of the Bronx. If you haven't been, you're doing NYC wrong.

    It's a decent slice. I don't live in the area but came for a ride to check it out because there…read morewere some pretty glowing reviews. Nothing wrong but just a pretty typical slice of nyc pizza. For a place that does slices there's a LOT of searing options, both inside, and this area out the back which is pretty good.

After you get situated with finding parking, better yet, take mass transit if you can, you'll find a non descript pizzeria. It's CASH ONLY ** they have ATM's inside for your convenience, which I had to use and I think the fee was 2.50$ but I'm not sure. The pizzeria slices are HUGE.-ginormous- colossal!! I thought it was going to be superficially large pizza with a horrible taste. ON THE CONTRARY - NO! The pizza was delicious and I found the salt content to be reasonable, perfectly salted. I paid 38$ for the super sized pizza. My kids devoured it, while my wife took pictures of of the kids eating their kite sized pizza slices. I highly recommend this "Bronx Style" pizzeria. The pizza is well cooked, medium to thin sized pizza and the ratio of cheese to tomato sauce is distributed evenly with a slightly cheesier taste than tomato.

But the fact of the matter is the quality of the cheese and dough is not up to par. The pizza resonates of low quality mozzarella cheese and poor quality bread. I've been eating here on and off for many years and the quality of the product has deteriorated. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they wanted to "try that place that they heard of on social media or from a friend who ate here 20 years ago. it's just not worth it. They are better pizza places in the Bronx (Circle, Yankee Pizza, Ernie's, Tony's on Throggs Neck, Pugsley Pizza)z If the owner were able to improve on the pizza by incorporating better quality ingredients, I would definitely give it a shot again. I wouldn't even mind if they charged seven dollars a slice for that mammoth slice because it is very very big. But in its current incarnation, I would have to pass on a second round. It's just not worth the money because the taste and quality of the slice is so poor. What happened?!??
