It was a total surprise. That's what we found off the 41. This Italian restaurant was delicious and delivered on fresh ingredients. This is a family owned restaurant, and they are friendly and prompt on service. My favorite dish was the chicken parmigiana with you choice of pasta or veggies. It also comes with a fresh salad. Oh, the pizza was so good too. The crust was delicious and the cheese was melted just so right. Take a look at my pics for an overall experience and don't miss out on this quaint dining gem. read more

See all

This place is an absolute gem! My first visit here was due to the fact that another favorite place couldn't get us in. Thank goodness they couldn't because this is the night I discovered Joseph's. Everyone in the restaurant is amazing. The food is outstanding and I found myself with plate envy. Looking at everyone else's dinner and strategically planning my next visits. I've tried numerous dishes and every time they do not disappoint. I highly recommend. read more

Richie's Pizza - Shrimp Alfredo w/Angel hair pasta - Pizza Near Me - Nokomis, Florida

Just went to Joseph's Pizza and grill the food was excellent. My husband had a mushroom pizza and I had fish, I had a fish called Bronzino. Melt in you mouth. We will definitely be going back read more

Being really generous with the three stars. Owners mother and father met us when we walked in they were lovely. Waitress very nice. Food was b- They unfortunately could not get any of the orders right or timing of food. Honestly have never seen such a mess I don't have the energy to get into details But it was bad Wish them the best because it seems like a good family. My only advice is if things are that bad (they were) why wouldn't the owner just come over and apologize and say we have a new chef etc and I'm sorry instead of sending young waitress over taking the heat and sitting at bat? Didn't sit well. Wish you the best. read more

Joseph's has returned in Nokomis and is a neighborhood gem. The service is fast and efficient and the food is always delicious. And, the ambience is comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommended. read more

Ordered three items and all were mediocre. Would never go here again. This restaurant appears to rely heavily on its freezer and Sysco.

I agree with other reviewers. Excellent New York style foldable pizza. Dough was thin and chewy with crispy crust. Sauce was a bit on the sweet side. Ample cheese that tasted like real pizza cheese should. Overall, very yummy! read more

Nice quiet restaurant close to home, with excellent service, good food and prices. I had wings and my wife had chicken parm...both were good enough for us to come back soon. Did I mention good service? Service was great! read more

We wandered into Joseph's pizza here in Venice after debating on one of the chain pizzas. This pizza was awesome and worth visiting. The decor was cute and clean. Pizza was not ordinary and good wine and beer selections. Kara was our waitress and gave us superb service. Thanks to all! read more

We did a pick up, they said food would be ready in 25 minutes, ready in about 12 (via text). Prices were very reasonable and the food was excellent!!! read more

Wanted to try a new place. Did not disappoint. The staff was amazing- we had the pleasure of having Joseph as our server. Can't wait to go back and try the pizza. A great spot for date night. Help keep local/family owned and operated businesses open. Yummm read more

Ordered pizza and wings around 745pm over the phone they told me 35 mins and took my payment over the phone. we arrive at 830pm and the place is closed and locked up no one there Call the owner who was very disrespectful swearing and threatening me. Asked for my refund and it's been When was it Saturday It's has been three days still no refund or responds back from owner. I would recommend not to give them any business at all and the talk around town is the pizza is trash and the owner is as well If this is how you conduct business you shouldn't be a business owner get your life together. read more

Garlic rolls are the best! Penne Pasta with Vodka sauce and shrimp, eggplant Parmesan are delicious! We are hooked on this place! Service was fantastic and everyone is so nice! Good people with amazing home made food! read more

My favorite new restaurant in town! The pizza is the best I've found in the area. Reminds me of the pies in Italy. Wings are great too btw. The separator for Josephs's would be the traditional Albanian food on the menu. The family atmosphere and creative menu make this new restaurant a must visit for locals or vacationers. They have something for everyone and a very inviting staff. Bravo Joseph's Pizza and Grill and welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Delicious food!!! We started out with the meatball appetizer. You can actually taste the meat, they are not breadcrumby . My husband had the chicken/rice/lemon soup (Not salty at all) , just a hint of lemon and baked ziti parmigiana. Yum.! I had chicken parmigiana with Angel hair pasta. The chicken was so tender, I didn't need a knife to cut it. Our server Virginia was excellent. This is a family owned restaurant with scratch made cooking. I suggest you stop by and enjoy a meal. We will definitely be coming back. Next time we are going to try the pizza. read more

Our first visit was last night. It won't be our last. We took along our friends. He and my husband are pizza snobs. Very fussy. Well Joseph's passed the test and came out a winner! Also ordered veal piccata which got a good review. Caesar Salad and a garden salad, crispy and flavorful. And the reviews on the garlic knots, oh yes! Warm, soft in the center and just a hint of garlic! We will be back. Oh, almost forgot, Virginia was our server. Attentive, fun and accommodating. read more

Loved the place, clean, attractive, friendly pizza and grill with terrific NY pizza. A NY person who appreciates good food. A+

We had the 6 pc wing and a pizza half ham half mushroom and sausage, it was very good and filling. Service was great very kind and friendly staff. If we weren't here from Indiana we would definitely come again. Also to add, the ranch was amazing read more

We got a fantastic pizza, so perfectly crisp, chewy NY crust. Makes us wish we lived here, we would order out every week. Don't miss out on great pizza and sweet staff. See ya next time, Rick. read more

Pizza was great! Knots were decent. Service was great. Ordered online and got a call to confirm specifics that were no longer available. Appreciate the proactive response. read more

Went in last night to try it out. Stromboli was fantastic, highly recommend this restaurant! Nice atmosphere, good service, only issue is their location. No one can find them, shame in addition to pizza and pasta, they also serve native Albanian cuisine. Try this place out, you will not regret it! read more

We thought to try something different from pizza and whoa ! Get yourself the bronzino fish dish . A white flaky thin fish served in generous portions w a creamy buttery lemony sauce . You'll get choice of salad soup etc - had the well made Caesar w extra dressing and anchovies on the side . Garlic rolls ? Why yes thank you . Big Top still on draft tap . Service is very good as is the place itself - a little gem doing a lot of the little things right . read more

Ordered couple times. Love their Margarita. I like location, we ordered on our way to Nokomis beach

First time customer, their pizza was perfect! We have been looking for thin crust pizza that isn't dripping with tomato sauce. It was so good, can't wait to order pizza again, and dine in, because their menu looks fantastic. A gem of a place! Oh, have to mention, the staff we worked with were so customer friendly, we really felt special just picking up a pie for takeout! read more

A gem of a pizzeria. Pizza is awesome. Staff is a delight. Nice to sit at the bar, chat with neighbors and catch a game.

Delicious food. Great service. Our toddler really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Best pizza I've had in the area.

Wife and I ate there last evening. We had pizza which was one of the best we've had in a while. Service was top notch too. Interior is what you'd expect clean and bright. I encourage you to stop in and give them a try. read more

Great food! Our new go to place. Absolutely love the shrimp scampi and mussels and linguine. Great pizza too! Very friendly staff.

This restaurant looks better inside than on the outside. Nicely redone inside. The salad was very fresh and green. I ordered chicken parm with spaghetti. It was good but I like my sauce a little more seasoned. My husband ordered the calzone. It was huge with plenty leftover for lunch the next day. He liked it. Service was good and very friendly. There were many coming in for takeout pizza. I want to try the pizza next. read more

Best local pizzeria in Venice, Florida. I've been to quite a few local places; however, this takes the pie. The service was great, and love the inside decor. The pizza spoke for itself, amazing crust and classic pizza, the cheese stretched every bite. thank you, Joseph !!!! read more

I considered a 4 star review for Joseph's due to the missing mushrooms on the wife's pizza. Waitresses really need to write the orders down and not attempt to remember them. On the other hand, the waitress and staff were very attentive, friendly, and full of information about the Albanian cuisine they offer. The food was excellent. I had the Potpuria for 1 with a mix of different meat preparations and it was great. read more
