    Pepperoni Pizza
    Charissa H.

    You need to go here. The pizza is high quality, seasoned to perfection, and the dough is crispy and holds up. I can't wait to try the other pizzas, but I'm highly impressed so far. The owner says he was trying to duplicate east coast pizza, and boy did he deliver. Now the pepperoni pizza did cost $26, but it's well worth it. Pepperonis are fresh and plentiful. The tomato sauce had great flavor with a little sweetness. Good amount of cheese, you'll definitely get a cheese pull. The pizza is huge. You could probably feed 4 people in one pizza, unless it's all men then maybe 2-3. Fantastic pizza. Go here.

    Johnny Ox is a unique pizza place in a new and unique setting. They are located right by the door as you come into Union Street Market. The signage is hard to see and front desk is a bit crowded with tables, patrons waiting on food and other passersby's. The menu is very small and pricey. However the pizza is very large and filling. The food prep area is open for you to watch and stayed clean through the busy time I was there. The team was mildly friendly though it was the end of the shift and they just sold out of pizza dough. You have to ask for about everything since it is an open air venue with general seating. There was plenty of comfortable and attractive seating for those of you wanting to dine in. They don't have fountain service so everything is in a can or bottle. The pizza is Neapolitan style pizza. The pizza is large and nicely oven baked. No burnt edges or bottoms on this pie. The pie has a lot of sauce that soaks into the crust. So the crust is very limp in the middle and thicker/chewy on the edges where there is no sauce. The pizza is lighter on the cheese. The cheese was very fresh and had a great mozzarella flavor. The pie was loaded with small round pepperonis. The pepperoni had a nice spicy kick that stays with you as you dine. One of the true measures of a good pizza is...how does it taste cold the next morning. The pizza crust was a bit tough 12 hours later but still an okay level of chewy. The pepperoni still had a wonderful spice that probably even more dominated the total flavor even more. The sauce presence was fully absorbed by now. Pretty good as a cold pizza! Overall I think Johnny Ox's Neapolitan pizza is worth a try. I don't think any one else in Fort Wayne has this style pizza. Just be prepared for the pie sticker shock...though it will feed three people. The new Union Street Market is fresh and unique and worth a visit too!

    Located inside the Union Street Market, you cannot miss this place. The line is always long, but for great reason! Thankfully this place offers slices between 11a & 3p. Whole pies typically take 14 minutes but depending on the orders the wait can be up to 45 mins to an hour. I'm not usually a wood-oven pizza gal, but the quality of the ingredients changes my mind. Here's what I got: -Cheese slices ($4): on a busy day where the wait was 45 minutes I opted for the last 2 cheese slices. They didn't disappoint! Not too much sauce and the cheese is fantastic. The slowly fermented crust is so good you'll want to eat that too. -Omnivore Kiss ($28): this is only on their menu periodically, so when you can get it ... get it! The pizza has quite a bit on it, but it's not too overwhelming where you can't enjoy. The ingredients (per menu) include: organic marinara, WM mozzarella, ezzo natural cased - fermented pepperoni, house-made spice-fennel sausage, nueski's cherry wood bacon, onion, black olives, roasted mushroom and fresh garlic. It's a party in your mouth for sure. Only thing I would opt out of is the olives, but that's just a personal preference. The pepperoni was my fave on this pizza and will try the pepperoni pizza next time. Great establishment. Will be back!

    Okay, to say this is the best pizza in the fort may be a stretch..... But it has got to be close. My wife and I went to electric works for date night and had food and drinks from several places inside. Before heading out I said, "hey let's get a pizza to go." I walked over placed my order and within a few minutes (maybe 15 or so) my number was called. I'm a huge fan of Neapolitan pizza and Johnny Ox brings their "A" game every time we order from them. Some say the price is a tad too high. But, in all actuality it's priced right for the size and quality you get. Great job guys on a great pizza. You have earned a customer for life!

    Electric works - another concept that we enjoyed on our visit to the Fort Wayne area for a class reunion. Johnny pizza was amazing and the quality of the ingredients clearly evident in the taste of the pizza. I am looking forward to the next time we visit family to stop again to enjoy the food. This pizza place needs to expand to their own facility in the future where they would be a neighborhood favorite!

    Without a doubt, this place ranks among the top three pizza spots in Fort Wayne! I've enjoyed their pizza around 7-8 times now, and each experience has been a success. I particularly appreciate their rotation of pizza menus, which gives customers the opportunity to try something different each time.

    I'm glad to see yelp has more sense than the mouth breathing Karen's on google. Anything less than 5 stars is insulting to this place especially considering the lack of decent options in Fort Wayne for pizza. I'm born and raised from New Haven CT ( best pizza in the world ) and this place is right up there no joke. The flavor and quality is incredible , Johnny is an awesome dude that interacts with his customers and the girls who make the pies are amazing . It's become close to a weekly tradition of mine to go I'm there and get a beer and I can't wait to go again. You can't go wrong with this pizza

    Ordered pizza by the slice pepperoni. The crust is very good. It has a lot of chew. The peperoni is the small cup type. My favorite. The pepperoni remind me of the original Domino's type. The sauce to cheese ratio is good. I usually like a little more sauce. However, the ratio works well for style. It's got some grease but that's not all bad. You can buy a beer at the Charlie Horse and enjoy it with your pizza. Lunar Infusions is next door for kambucha.

    Ask the Community - Johnny OX Pizzeria

    Is there a gluten free crust available?

    I'm pretty confident the answer is no. It's not on the menu and the work area isn't conducive to keep gluten and non-gluten separate.

    Lexy's Pizza (Spring Street, Fort Wayne) - first time trying this pizza institution…read more I've seen lots of outstanding reviews for Lexy's. How can you live in the Fort and not visit the original Spring Street location that was founded by Lexy Demetroff since 1957? Well...I've now checked that one off my bucket list! I ordered a medium Everything pizza around 4:30p on a busy Friday evening. They quoted me a 40 minute wait time...and they were spot on. Lexy's pizza menu and prices are typical of most non-budget pizza places. They offer deep dish pizzas as well. The Spring street location is small with ample parking in the back. There is thin table that lines two walls with bar stools. I suppose you could eat in. However carry out is most common. The kitchen is wide open to the entry way. You can watch the pizza artisans doing their craft. I found the team here to be very friendly and welcoming while focusing on pizza making. In my first trip to Lexy's I found the pizza to be quite delicious. The crust is thin. The edges are crispy - yes, really crisp. The underside in the middle of the pizza was soft and nicely baked. No obvious added flavoring to the crust. Pretty much a plain flour dough. Lexy's motto is "Generous portions, Quality ingredients"...and that is what I found. The toppings were piled high on a bed of ground up American sausage. The rest of the meats and vegetables were plentiful and tasty. The toppings were held in place by a thick bed of fresh mozzarella cheese. The pizza is well baked as evidenced by the crispy edges and "frico" browned cheese. The browned and slightly crispy cheese added a different taste to the oozing bed of mozzarella that was below the surface. The sauce was not as prominent as I hoped. The toppings dominated the taste. The bit of sauce I could detect was slightly sweet and had a good tomato taste. The whole pizza was nicely moist. You pick up a good blend of different ingredient tastes. Cold Pizza Test - the next morning the cold pizza tasted almost exactly like the pizza from the night before - delicious! The pizza was still very moist. The crust was still very crispy. The flavor from the toppings did tend to faded a little.

Pizza: Was delicious! Perfectly cooked and the flavor was perfect. It was thin, light, crunchy crust but not too crunchy, dough nice and soft at the same time. Highly recommend it. Pasta: A bit underwhelming. I felt it could use more sauce and a bit more flavor as it was bland. Portion was decent. The pork should have been cooked more as it was chewy and in a carbonara, i expect the pork to be a tad crispier. Dessert: I am a tiramisu fanatic and I was disappointed when i took a bite of it as it was more like a slice of cake pretending to be a tiramisu. It was yummy but i would not consider this a slice of tiramisu. You can see in my last photo where you see the cake style parts of it. While i do love strawberries, they were an odd touch considering it's supposed to be tiramisu and not a slice of coffee, chocolate flavored cake. Overall i believe that we overpaid for dinner. If i were to return, I would probably just stick to the pizza. I love that they have vegan and gluten free options so that's a plus but other than that, i can't say i will be returning soon. I wanted to give it a 2.5 but not an option so 2 it is!

The grilled chicken was moist, easy to cut and slightly seasoned to enjoy. The Cobb salad is a must try if you are a salad goer. The pizza was good. It has a thin crust that was crispy but not burnt. The pizza was just soft enough that you could cut it with a fork. We had the everything pizza. There was a good variety of toppings and plenty of them. The sauce was not very predominant. I would probably ask for extra sauce next time so I could enjoy the tomato sauce accents more. Overall...good thin crust pizza.
