I am a frequent customer of Joseph's pizza. Every time I come into the restaurant, I am welcomed with smiles and cheer. I mostly do to go orders, but if I do have the time, I will sit down and eat. During lunch, they sell pizza by the slice and it is very tasty. I usually get the meat lovers. The restaurant itself is fairly small. It kind of feels like a mom and Pop shop. So they mostly sell pizza and Italian dishes and they also sell desserts as well. The food always comes out fresh and the price doesn't lock your head off. It really is a staple in the community and I wish more people knew about this amazing pizza in Italian food with the community. read more

I had driven past this pizzeria countless times on my way home and finally decided to give it a try. I was even more excited when I learned that it holds the distinction of being Jacksonville's oldest pizzeria (a piece of local history that deserves recognition). Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the legacy. The pizza tasted as though the dough came in frozen, reminding me of lower quality supermarket pizza rather than something made fresh in house. Given its reputation, I left genuinely surprised by the lack of flavor, texture, and overall quality. I was equally puzzled to see this restaurant featured among Jacksonville's best. Based on my experience, it made me question the standards behind those recommendations. The baked ziti was particularly disappointing and, quite honestly, the worst I've ever had. The restaurant's history and longevity are admirable, and its story is undoubtedly its strongest asset. I only wish the food reflected the same level of care and craftsmanship that has allowed the establishment to endure for so many years. read more

2.5 stars - I expected more, I guess, based on reputation? I stopped in for a weekday lunch, and the place was still moderately busy for close to 1 pm. I first tried to order a small pizza, and the server interjected to say it would be at least 40 minutes - as I said, the restaurant was still fairly full, but almost everybody was already eating. The way she said it, I got the strong implication that she did not want me to order a pizza for whatever reason, if you know what I mean. Not really sad about it, to be honest, because the pizzas I saw on tables looked very thick and bready. So I went with the Joseph's steak sandwich, with a side of fries. The fries came out first by a few minutes, which I thought was strange. They were standard waffle fries out of the bag, but ripping hot and fresh. The sandwich came out after a little bit of a wait, and it was....okay? I liked the caramelized cheese, but the meat itself was low quality and had absolutely zero seasoning. I tossed on a ton of parm and red pepper flakes just to get some flavor. The service was a little strange, as I said, but the prices are pretty good. The restaurant is fairly generic inside, kind of an old school diner aesthetic. I'm not going to make a trip back anytime soon. read more

I had a make your own cauliflower crust with spinach and ricotta, which I always love a place that has ricotta. This place has a great selection of premium toppings, though both the regular and premium toppings are kind of pricey. With the crust and 2 toppings it was over $25 for a small before delivery fees. I mainly wanted to try the cauliflower crust to compare it to others. In general, I think they all are similar enough that most places may be getting from the same supplier (or I couldn't tell the difference), but what changes is how well they can cook it. I think this one was well executed, nice and crispy, with some heavy browning, and no soggy bits. I wish I had gotten to try it fresh, but with delivery it arrived cold. Not really their fault, just a result of them only offering third party delivery. I would buy it again, though maybe not as often because of the price, but their selection of toppings will probably bring me back at some point. read more

5 star + The food is incredible. The staff was super nice and friendly. I had the lunch calzone... amazing! It was so good. Two thumbs up for sure. I will be back. read more

I've never been to Italy but this food had a very homemade taste. The minestrone was the best I've ever had. We got the large antipasto salad and it's HUGE! The chicken Parmesan was so yummy. And the dessert selection makes you want to order one of everything! The service was wonderful. Everyone was so nice. It's not loud but it is open kitchen-ish so you can see the chefs making the food. We can't wait to go again!! read more

Hubby and I were looking for a new pizza spot for Friday night date night. Joseph's was close by and a Jacksonville staple so we headed over to give them a try. They were fairly busy but we were seated right away. We ordered an x-large pepperoni pizza. I thought it was good just not my favorite. The crust tasted good and had a good crisp but it was a bit thick for my liking. The sauce, cheese and pepperoni were all good. The service was great as was the ambience. I would return and try something different next time. read more

We had the grilled chicken sandwich and a slice of pepperoni pizza. They were delicious! I've decided I prefer my pizza with little to no tomato sauce. My friend had the grilled chicken sandwich and she said it was cheesy good. (Coming from a picky eater that's great) How server was great, she was able to answer our quest and make suggestions that helped in our choice. I ended up buying the spinach feta roll to go. It just looked so good and she said it would do well reheated. The restaurant itself is very easy and seating isn't crowded. They have tables for 2 or more without issue. We arrived just after they opened and by the time we left it was full of guest. It has been a while since I went to Joseph's, it lived up to the deliciousness I remembered. read more

After my mother's unveiling today, we came here today in honor of my parents who shared their first meal as husband and wife here 63 years ago. My parents died 12 months apart to the month and today was a meal to celebrate and honor them. The Manager was PHENOMENAL!!! Her commitment to Joseph's was apparent and her desire to provide outstanding customer service was evident by actions!! The chicken was out of this world! Portions huge and so flavorful! Worth the drive! Thank you Joseph's for honoring my parents 63rd anniversary so well!! read more

Great food at a great price. Stopped by after a trip to the zoo, would definitely go back.

Nice place with a neat blend of homey and modern. I especially enjoyed sitting in the picture window bench seats and watching humanity pass by on Main Street. I had the Friday lunch special of baked ziti and soup (Italian wedding for me). DH had an eggplant parmigiana. Both were delicious. Our server, Teresa was super sweet and attentive. We wanted for nothing during our visit. Parking was a little dicey, but only due to a retirement party. Joseph's is hosting first responders this month and they eat free. You should drop by. read more

We went for dinner after a day at the zoo. It was fairly busy but we were seated right away so not overly so. It was a very cute restaurant, the waitress was nice but it was hard to get her attention (wanted to order appetizers because our pizza was taking so long but didn't get her). It took over an hour to get our pizza and when we asked about the delay we were told it was because they'd received a lot of online orders. The pizza was just okay and not worth the wait. read more

What an amazing place. Consistently delicious; great pizza, fabulous cakes/pies, and fantastic meatballs. Love the food, service and the eclectic atmosphere. Service is always great; fast, friendly, and seemingly with passion (caring staff). 100% worth the trip for the pie and if you're lucky enough, you can catch the Jacksonville ukulele club playing your favorite songs. read more

Server very good during rush hour lunch crowd. Garlic knot appitizor was very good 4+ but the meatball sub wasn't good. I cam on a very large roll too large to eat so you had to use a fork and knife. The quality of the hamburg was poor. Ca MN e with garlic bread, sauce and mozzarella. Won't go back read more

Delicious pizzas and main dishes. Comfortable ambiance and some of the nicest people ever.

Very clean. Food was excellent (pizza and a calzone). Staff was terrific. We will be back for sure!!

Food excellent, Shiloh our server was friendly and prompt! Servings enough to bring home.

Tried spaghetti and meatballs and pizza, and it was all really bad. We're from Philly, not exactly known for pizza, but we do better here. The reviews brought us here after Jax Zoo, but I've had such better food in Jax, this was really disappointing. Reviews are really inflated for the very basic cafeteria taste. Cafeteria taste means the pizza was worse than frozen Ellio's, and the gluten in the spaghetti tasted like paper or cardboard, the sauce was essentially bitter ketchup. On top of the really bad food, they were very late on their pick up time, and cost was high for even good pizza takeout. Would not return. read more

I ordered take out. The best was the Italian sub lots of flavor and the house Italian dressing came in a little cup I think it has a red wine vinegar for a bite. So good! My only meh was the American cheese. When I order this again I'll ask for only the mozzarella. Remember I said I got takeaway? I can't blame them for the overcooked pasta and broccoli because I don't know if they were cooked well when it was made. Everything was still hot after I got home but the pasta was too well done for my tastes. When I reheated I put in a pan with evoo then topped with parm and baked in the oven. Great flavor but still over cooked. I will be back and next time will eat in! Huge portions so there will be leftovers again. read more

Lovely place and delicious food! The service was immaculate thank you Courtney! Highly recommend it. It's a family owned restaurant and everyone is so friendly. Everything was cooked to perfection, the pizza had the yummiest crust. Give it a try you'll be delighted :) read more

Can't say enough good things about this place, just wish it was closer to me. We were promptly greeted and seated in the front dining room. Our server (Courtney) was attentive and kind despite having to get a kitchen worker to mop up a spilled drink. My family and I stopped in for dinner and ordered garlic knots, an antipasto salad, drinks and a cheese Sicilian pizza (square thick crust). They also gave us some free garlic bread. Everything was well cooked and tasty. The garlic knots are little buttery knots of dough covered in Parmesan, while the antipasto which has deli meats, pickled veggies and fresh veggies comes with a choice of dressing (pick the house made creamy Italian). The Sicilian pizza takes a little longer to cook but it is big enough to feed 5 with leftovers since it is a thick crust pizza. I have gotten it with toppings before but I think it is best served with just cheese. The highlight was that the total bill was a little more than $50. Way below what I expected. Recommend the trip if you are in the mood for pizza. read more

Went here on the recommendation of neighbors. My go to whenever I try a new Italian restaurant is eggplant parmigiana. Is it fresh? Is it tasty? How is the sauce? Etc. Well it did not pass the test. Not going back for eggplant parm. Not sure about other items except salad with chopped chicken which was okay. May return for pizza one day. read more

This was my first visit to Josephs. I'd heard good things & finally stopped in for a togo order after visiting the zoo. They do not make the Naples pizza anymore, so I ordered a medium hand tossed pizza with olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, black olives, feta & mozzarella. It is probably the best pizza I've had in Jax!! The crust was perfectly cook & so fresh! The ingredients were also fresh & evenly distributed. I, also, got the Muffaletta sandwich. It is huge! Freshly baked bread & homemade olive dressing. I HIGHLY recommend it. Also, probably the best Muffaletta in Jax! Very clean restaurant & great ambiance with a great waitstaff. I wil DEF be back! read more
