If being a wing guy was a personality trait, it would absolutely be mine. I grew up making regular pilgrimages to Buffalo Wild Wings and every solid local joint that knew how to toss a proper wing. Even after moving to Florida, I've had some great ones... but I'm always chasing that next "ohhh yeah" bite. That chase led us to Josie's Pizza and Wings -- and let me tell you, this was not a casual wing experience. This was a commitment to flavor. I went with the Citrus Chipotle. My wife stayed loyal to her signature BBQ (she doesn't mess around when she finds her flavor). The wings came out glistening like they knew they were about to be talked about on Yelp. First surprise? The onion rings. Dare I say... elite. Crispy, golden, not greasy, actual crunch in every bite. And the spicy dipping sauce they paired with them? Game changer. I would order those alone and be completely satisfied. Now the wings. Top. Tier. That crunch when you bite in? Immediate validation. The Citrus Chipotle brought the sweet heat balance perfectly -- not overpowering, just enough kick to keep you going back for "one more." The BBQ was bold, classic, exactly what a BBQ wing should be without tasting bottled and basic. You can taste when a kitchen cares about texture and execution. These weren't soggy, over-sauced, or phoned in. These were dialed in. Safe to say we'll absolutely be back. We left already talking about what flavors we're trying next. Josie's -- you've officially entered the wing rotation. Let's sauce up and dive in. read more

This is one of our favorite pizza places in Winter Garden area. Kids love the garlic bread and they have some good specials.

It was our first time here. Our server was so sweet and informative. Everything comes out piping hot. I swear not normal hot. Which is a good thing but just be warned. We started with jalapeño poppers, which were delicious and crispy. We had hot honey wings, which the wings were not soggy. They had a nice crispness to them, but was not dry and was very meaty. Then we had probably the best garlic cheesy bread that I have ever had. It is extra cheesy though. We had no more room to try anything else, but we will definitely be back. They also offer delivery, which is nice. read more

I picked up a 17" cheese pizza to go this time. Pros: It was really nice to have a real pizza from a pizzeria after the chains. The pizza was great. Cons: $3 for extra sauce is kinda steep, but OK - I knew that when I ordered - we've been through this in old reviews. I think they make it in-house? I just want to mention if you're gonna charge $3, please put a decent amount of extra sauce on there! I very much appreciated being told not to tilt the pizza b/c of the extra sauce (I seriously see me not thinking about that ), but there was NO sliding going on with the minimal additional sauce. Still - good quality product all around! If you want a good pizza...this is a good place to get it for sure! read more

I give them four star only the service was awesome. The food not so much. You know when your mind is not made up if it's good or just okay. We didn't even eat half and offered to bring it home and we passed. It like above average frozen pizza. We might go bake try the wings. read more

It was absolutely delicious and the staff was very helpful! I will definitely be returning

My daughter enjoyed her pizza, but the wings were stale; they had a funny smell and an equally funny taste. I will say the young lady who assisted me with the order was very nice! read more

Decent food but they nickel and dime you. For example, I ordered a buffalo chicken sub which you would think would come with ranch or blue cheese but it does not. It's $.75 for a small container (1 1/2 oz). I ordered 2 because we're dippers so $1.60 by the time you add tax. When I arrived to pick up the sandwich and realized how small they were, I asked for a third and was charged so I ended up paying $2.40 for dressing to put on our sandwich. If the side of dressing was at least 2 ounces I could get onboard with paying $.75 a pop. read more

Josie is a small pizza pasta and wings Italian restaurant in the Orlando area, with only a couple of locations with a great reputation. The service is always consistent and the food is always prepared very quickly. The atmosphere is like a sports bar with a couple of TVs and a bar. I usually get a large Italian sausage and bacon pizza with mushrooms with extra cheese and an order of medium hot wings. This is my go to pizza and wings restaurant in the Windermere area. read more

This was my first time here. They have a great craft beer selection and the wings are pretty darn good. For me the pizza was ok. I liked that it wasn't super salty but wished it had a bit more sauce. My daughter ordered pasta which came out 10+ minutes before the rest of our meals. Operations seemed a bit disorganized. The food was good enough that i will come back but hopefully things are smoother next time. read more

We arrived around 3 PM on a Thursday afternoon right before Christmas. We had the entire place to ourselves, literally. There was no one else in there. All of their menus are QR code. There were just two of us in our party, and we opted to keep it simple. My husband got the meatball sub with fries (there is a up charge fee for fries) and I got the metro turkey sub with chips (no up charge). They have Coppertail beer on tap, and with it being a beer out of Tampa, I opted for one glass of beer while my husband got a Sprite. The subs were beautifully toasted. Not too hard, but not too soft. The meatball sub was good but it needed more marinara on it. My husband ended up asking for two more small containers to add to the sandwich. Overall, it was good, but he said the pizza and the wings he's had there before were much better. I had the metro turkey sub which was turkey, deli meat with green apples and lettuce, cheese and a slightly spicy sauce. Was not overly spicy but the perfect balance with the sweetness of the apples. I really enjoyed my sandwich and would order it again. read more

The wings were okay but the Greek salad and French fries were really good. I would go back just for the fries!

Great spot for pizza and wings. We ordered pick up and using their online app which was easy to use and our order was ready in the estimated time frame. ~Food~ ****4/5. Their combo deals are great and we got a large cheese pizza with wings for a decent price. For wing flavors we tried both the hot honey and hot wings the latter of which I felt could've used more spice. ~Service~ *****5/5. Their customer service was amazing and due to a mishap with our order, they remedied it by giving us an extra pizza, a much appreciated gesture. Overall I would recommend Josie's for all your pizza and wing needs! read more

We ordered two kinds of pizzas and chicken tenders. Everything was great! We were waiting for our son and daughter in law to finish up with our grandson at Urgent Care a few doors down. When they came over to Josie's, the worker did everything she could to make our hour long drive back home better. We will keep this place in mind the next time we are in town. read more

We've been visiting here for over two years and are always pleased with the service and friendliness of this restaurant. Their wings are solid, and their pizza selection is always enough for everyone in our family to find something they love. This time we tried the cheesy bread, and it will become a new staple for us each visit - it was so crispy and cheesy that it was demolished in seconds! My husband especially appreciates the good craft beer selection and I love the small town family feel each time we're greeted. As a bonus they always have the best football games on during the weekend! read more

I keep getting recommendations to try Josie's pizza and wings from my neighbors and people around the area. I decided to give it a whirl. My husband and I ordered a pepperoni pizza and some wings. We went to pick it up shortly after, and it was ready upon pick up. Super efficient, if you ask me. When we got home, our pizza was hot, and super tasteful. The wings had a really good flavor to and, honestly, some of the best I've had in a while. Happy to pass on the recommendation for Josies to my friends and family too. read more

I see all of this love for Josie's but to be honest I left my experience feeling whelmed at best...not overwhelmed; not underwhelmed...just whelmed. Looking to order pick-up I hopped onto their website to review the menu and found it to be glitchy and not mobile browser friendly. The site said to download the app, so I did...and it's just as glitchy. I started to try and place an order through the app but it would not allow for modifications to the order. I gave Josie's a call and was able to place my order with ease. The employee who helped me was super friendly and attentive. After a brief wait; maybe 20mins I headed over to pick up our food. The dining area was small but very clean. A handful of customers were scattered about having beer and talking. I will say they have some great local and craft beers on tap here. I was promptly greeted and my order was ready when I arrived. So far you're thinking...if everything was so smooth and easy-why the two stars? The food. We ordered two calzones and an order of their cheese bread which totaled just shy of $31. Upon getting our order home we found the serving sizes to be lackluster. The cheese bread, tho delicious, was quite tiny. The calzones were of okay size but massively lacking on the fillings and the majority of it just being bread. It just wasn't worth the price we paid to be honest. There are other, local joints nearby where you can get way more and better food for a similar price. Sadly that is what made Josie's a one-and-done for us. Obviously I am in the minority when it comes to Josie's but based on our experience we just won't be returning. The service was wonderful but the portions didn't add up to the price. read more

First time visiting, 8pm on a Tuesday and it was pretty empty which was perfect. Small place, inside & outside seating. Has a small bar and TV's with the games on. Started off with an order of cheesy bread which was a solid 4.5/5 SOOOO GOOD! Then ordered the "Josie" pizza which was pepperoni, sausage, mushroom & green peppers. Was a total of 8 slices and more than enough for 2 people. Pizza was honestly one of the better ones I've had in the Orlando area so far. Only negative was the server never came back for drink refills so most the meal was no drink. But otherwise I'll definitely be going back. A lot of good items on that menu I want to try. read more

I've been going to Josie's on Hiawassee for more than twenty years, but somehow missed the opening of this one, which is much closer to my home. The space is much brighter and more open than the old location. Although there is a sort of bar in the back, this is primarily a table service place, with plenty of tables both inside and outside. On our visit there were a handful of inside tables occupied, and the sole server was doing a fantastic job of keeping up with everyone. We shared a large Greek salad, an order of ten hot garlic wings, and a pepperoni, ricotta, and basil pizza. Everything was excellent, and the hot food arrived literally steaming from the kitchen. The Greek salad was a nice mix of fresh veggies on top of crisp lettuce, and the Greek dressing was delicious. The pizza didn't have a crisp crust, but the sauce had a great oregano flavor, the cheese was plentiful, and the pepperoni was very flavorful. The wings are the wet style, and some of the best in town. I love that they use fresh garlic on top of the hot sauce rather than mixing in powdered garlic. A lot of places have been having staffing issues, and we had the impression there might be just two people working here on a Monday at lunch, but they were certainly doing a great job, and I give them full points for food and service. read more

Josie's Pizza in Windermere was completely perfect. Excellent pizza, wings, beer, breadsticks and subs. We drive from Lake Nona to have this outstanding food and service monthly. Bruna was our waitress today and she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and happy. We love Josie's pizza and highly recommended it !! Was also very nice to talk with Florence who took some minutes to talk with us. What an amazing experience every time we come here! read more

No prices on the menu Really? Somehow every other restaurant in town manages to handle changing food costs And the only option is to make the waiter run back and check each item? Yeah not happening read more

This location is our number one local Pizza spot in the area. The staff are always friendly, food always fresh and delicious, and the deals they have are great for the family. It has indoor and outdoor seating and take out is always a breeze. Their service is always on perfect timing even when they are packed certain days of the weeks. My father and I have a personal favorite which is their pizza with meatball and ricotta cheese as the topping. Even their regular cheese pizza never disappoints with cheese/sauce ratio always perfect. Their garlic cheese bread always hits the spot and is a must get side dish. I am not a big wing fan but theirs never disappoints and my grandmother who is the pickiest eater always finishes her serving. I highly recommend stopping by if you and your party are in a pizza mood you won't regret it one bit. What's nice about the location too is that a bunch of other eateries such as ice cream, a French bakery, Mexican, and Hawaiian all neighbor it in the same plaza! read more

Amazing. Flavorful. Tastes like Grandma made it. Seriously, my new favorite Pizza Joint in town! From start to finish, this was a winning meal! We ordered a large cheese pizza, 10 wings (hot sauce), cheesy bread, a 6 in spicy Italian sub, 2 chocolate chip cookies, and a tiramisu (pending as we are currently stuffed, so this will be later). The sub, packed full of flavor. The Italian meats were definitely the star. The wings, BEST WINGS IN TOWN! I don't say this lightly. We have been searching for solid wings for 3 years now. Being from up north, we have serious expectations. Josie's met them and beyond. The cheesy bread. So good. Flavorful, several kinds of cheese and each one played a part in the dish. The pizza. I swear, I've had it before. The sauce is sweet without being too sweet. The only thing I would have liked was to have the crust cooked a bit longer. But I'm being picky. Finally, the chocolate chip cookies. No lie, these took me back to my childhood. Tuesday was cookie day in our house. These tasted exactly like my grandma's cookies. All I can add is Friday Night is now officially Josie's Pizza Night! Edit: The Tiramisu is AMAZING! This ranks up with the best I've ever had. read more

The metro turkey sub was a cool surprise. Recommended by the server, it was a cool combination of turkey, cranberries, apples, bleu cheese, a tomato mayo and cheese. Turkey, sliced green apples, crumbled bleu cheese, dried cranberries, lettuce, sun-dried tomato mayo and cheese. Never had this combination on a sub before and really enjoyed it. Will get it again. read more

I order every week from Josie's. The only thing I wish they offered that they don't is a reward system because I rarely miss a week. If you like a foldable NY style crust, ask for it crispy and you won't regret it. Absolutely delicious pizza every week. If you haven't had their cookies, you're missing out. They are fresh and delicious & come warm with your delivery. I was actually moved to make this review because they drew artwork on the bag this week. Grateful to have a great pizza place as my go to pizza shop. I mainly get delivery which is always quicker than what ChowNow or whatever it's called says. But when I do go in person, they are fast, efficient and friendly. read more

Stopped in for a quick slice because I read several good reviews and it was awesome. The service was super great and she made me feel very welcome into a place I didn't even know about. The fresh slice to about 5 minutes and for $2.40 out the door I will definitely pop by again. They have a wide selection of beers and several wines to choose from. read more

So far, about the best pizza I've found. The WINGS are damn good. Take out is on point, they have a little bar to if you want to watch the games and sip a beer. I've yet to find pizza like home (Buffalo) but this place comes really close (if you order the wings extra crispy..) I recommend them so go order a pizza! read more

My husband and I were so excited to see Josie's open up closer to our home. We have been visiting the original location in Metrowest for many years and love that we no longer have to cross town to enjoy the best wings ever. The dining room was closed because of COVID-19 so we ordered 50 wings and a large cheese pizza for pick up. Our order was made quickly and packaged nicely for transport. We asked for the wings to be cooked well and they came out perfect. The outside was crunchy and the inside was tender. The hot sauce pulled it all together. Josie's is one of the few places that has a great plain cheese pizza. The crust, cheese and sauce is so good that I don't like to add anything that will compete with the classic flavor. read more

So glad to have Josie's on my side of town! My husband and I used to come here often but we haven't lived near it for years. We came to Josie's in the midst of virus craze and everyone handled things SO well. We ordered two different kinds of wings, fries, and onion rings. The wings we ordered were hot and medium - they tasted great but we couldn't differentiate which wings were which flavor. The sides were awesome! We both got nostalgic of our many date nights having wings and sides at Josie's and just so glad to have it back again! Will definitely be back. read more

Valeria was our server tonight and her service was awesome. We decided that tonight was a wing night and if their wings are not the best in town then I don't know (and don't care) who has them. The food, service, atmosphere and everything else was top notch. Thanks for making our Friday night family outing a great one. read more

Completely loved our meal. The onion rings were delicious as well as the salad with mandarin oranges. However, the star of the meal were the wings. Sorry...no picture of those because we devoured them as soon as they arrived. We'll be coming back! read more

Come on really 29.99 for 20 sub par wings? And when you ask for them slightly crispy they fry them extremely over fried. And don't get me started on the lack of sauce they put on these wings. Garlic Parmesan is supposed to have cheese right? No cheese at all in my sauce. What's up with the new fries at this restaurant? Double Battered fries yuck. Bring back the other fries that you had for so long that people loved. Why being so cheap on ingredients that you're loyal customer base got to enjoy. I'm sorry the grocery stores are selling fresh wings for 3.99 to 4.99 a pound why such a huge increase in price? These wings are not made of gold or diamonds. Gators wings all you can eat 19.99. Other places much cheaper options. Come on David stop charging so much money. read more

I'm going up to a 4/5 on my review, but I would go 3.5 normally. This is just a pizza and calzone review though. For the price and the fact the water isn't filtered from the fountain, I'd normally go a 3/5, but they just opened and it's "Coronavirus Season", so I'm going to be a bit lax with my review and bump it up, with those 2 things in consideration. I understand this place is best known for their wings, but wings aren't really my thing, so here it is. The pizza is good. Lots of flop and it gets soggy in the middle pretty easily. The crust is good and has some good crunch to it. The sauce is ok. It's a bit bland and tastes like tomato sauce with garlic salt added. Nothing great, but it works for pizza. The calzone was good. We got the Meat Lover's Large Calzone and it was just good. The ground beef didn't have much flavor and the ricotta was actually barely lukewarm when we got the calzone. It was a good size, but for $14.99, I'd expect a large calzone. The prices are a bit high and even for wings, it's $1/wing and if you buy 50, you don't get a discount, which I thought was strange. I included a menu, front and back, for anyone wanting to check prices. Our hunt for another delicious pizza place in Central Florida continues. read more

Yum! We enjoyed wings, pizza and beer. The staff was very nice, very friendly owner. Highly recommend for pizza and wings. Wings were "market value" and very pricey at $14 for 10 wings. Total bill with three beers a 10 inch pizza and two orders of 20 wings was $59. read more

Staff is fairly friendly and prices aren't bad. Pizza overall is just OK. Main complaint is the past few times I've gotten food here they have been human hair in the pizza. Judging by the length it's a brunette female. It's a mom and pop place I think. Or at least a smaller franchise so maybe the owner can't get his wife to wear a hairnet in the kitchen? Anyway it always grosses me out when I find hair in my food especially when it's baked between the cheese and the bread. Imagine pulling a slice out and finding that connecting it to the rest of the pizza...Bon appetite. I just can't do it. Obviously that's an accident but I consider it something that's pretty avoidable with proper food handling skills. I gave three stars because overall the staff is friendly and the food isn't terrible at all. read more
