This review is from a stop I made here in January of 2022 while it was owned by someone else. I am very due to come back and try things under the new owner but just so you know, this is not a review of the current state of things necessarily. I somehow just never posted this and going through older photos I just saw it. Checked out the Pizza Joint on Airport Road because I have heard their cheesesteak is a genuine contender for best in the Lehigh Valley. Also grabbed a Chicken Bacon Ranch slice to share with Samantha while we waited to split the steak. The owner Joey was a very friendly guy and we talked for quite a while just about pizza, the business, etc. The shop has a few tables for indoor dining and was very clean. The Chicken Bacon Ranch Grandma style slice was very good. We just got a counter slice on a re-heat but it had been made fresh right beforehand and the flavors were on point. Nice little crispiness after the re-heat too which is just how I like it. I would definitely try that again. So this cheesesteak...this is a winner. Ribeye, Cooper Sharp, fried onion, seeded roll delivered daily. What more can you ask for? Especially in an area where many people eat their steaks with red sauce and pickles on them...this was an actual cheesesteak in the style of Philly. I'd eat this any day of the week. Pizza Joint absolutely - Didn't Suck! read more

Small, casual Italian eatery in a shopping center on east side of Allentown. Chicken Fajita Pizza was pretty good; we also ordered cheese pizza. We tried a few of their entrees, chicken parmesan, eggplant parmesan and shrimp parmesan over spaghetti with housemade marinara sauce. We appreciated that Caesar salad with parmesan cheese and olive came with entree meals. Fresh basil gave salad good flavor. Tiramisu was pretty good. Employees were helpful and friendly. read more

Here for the week on business and I prefer supporting locally owned businesses. Stumbled upon this place and decided to check it out. What I didn't expect was was the variety of pizzas by the slice in the display window and all the yummy desserts! My order was ready in 20 minutes and let me tell you ...it's one of THE BEST white pies I've had in a really really long time. I added pepperoni to mine and it was perfect! I'd share pictures but my dog and I scarfed it down so fast that I forgot to hahaha HIGHLY recommend and glad I found it - when I'm back on business rounds I will definitely be eating here again!!! read more

First time ordering. Ordered due to recommendations. Sadly not impressed. Ordered a Sicilian pie with extra cheese. First negative crust was burnt. Second, doesn't look like extra cheese to me. Sorry it's regular cheese. Doubtful I'll ever get anything there again very disappointed. read more

We have ordered 3 times now and 2 out of the 3 times our order was wrong. Tonight I ordered 2 Sandwiches, a Dinner, and small truffle pizza. I was quoted 45mins to an hour for delivery time. I said multiple times no cheese, sauce, or onions. Order arrived 1hr & 15mins later. As I was paying husband discovered the Steak Sandwich was loaded with cheese. Driver asked if I wanted another sandwich and I said yes. My son ordered The Mad Dog Mateo Joint. For $15.00 you'd expect it to be stuffed and good bread but nope. Also no where does it indicate that they charge a delivery fee. Ours was $7.00. We'll stick with our normal pizza places from now on. The Truffle Pizza and the Pasta Al Forno we're good. read more

I found out about The Pizza Joint when I decided to check out this car meet Event by Ricky JDM Toys on 4/19/2024. I got there early before the car meet started and decided to get dinner at the Pizza Joint. I ordered a Chicken Francese over Angel Hair Pasta. The prices were thankfully reasonable and when I say Wow I mean wow the food was top notch here! You could tell they use quality food ingredients because the food was great! Not to mention the portion sizes were generous (some places barely give you anything today and overcharge!) It's really hard to find good Italian food anywhere these days but this pizzeria just does it right. My other friends I was hanging out with ordered the pizza and they really liked it. They had the plain cheese slice and I think it was a BBQ slice. They said it tasted really good. Some pizzerias and other places that have a sour marinara sauce taste which really ruins the pizza but this place got it right. I thought it was a cool spot so I decided to buy a hat too. I met and chatted with the owner Dino about cars, motorcycles and pizza for a little while before the event started. Dino was super friendly, approachable and asked how we liked the food. He talked to me and my friends about how he used to be a chef at many other restaurants is Italian- American and how long pizza joints been around. Not too long later more people started showing up with their cars for the event and me and my friends went to go check out the event. The event was really cool. There was a big turn out, many different car types, some rare exotic cars and Dino came out to make sure all the people attending the event were respectful of the event. read more

My brother purchased some type of chicken vodka sandwich for pick-up today for lunch. He returned to work and couldn't eat the chicken. He called to explain, and they asked him if he could return it and they would replace it with a cheesesteak. When returned there and explained about the problem the owner was rude. He threw the sandwich in the garbage and called him a liar and to get out of his store before he called the police. When I heard this from my brother I immediately called and asked to talk to the owner. I explained to him that two of us at work tried the chicken and agreed it was not cooked correctly. I told him it had nothing to do with money it's how he treated a customer ( my brother). I explained we also own a company and would never treat a customer that way or we wouldn't have any customers. He did wish me a Merry Christmas but in a rude way. The food was always good in the past and never experienced any problems. But unfortunately, he just lost a few customers. Word of mouth is the best way to promote or hurt a business. read more

Great Pizza was not expecting it to taste so good and cheesy since we were told it's not like the United States pizza. Would definitely eat here again. read more

One of the best cheesesteaks in the valley. The meat lovers Chicago pizza was out of this world! Service is awesome. Make sure to say high to Joe and he will treat you like family. Anything on the menu is a home run. read more

Best pizza in Lehigh valley hands down and the staff very friendly I highly recommend go ASAP and try this place!!!

Extremely slow delivery and bad service. I ordered food and it took over 2 hours to be delivered. They gave me an ETA and then took over an hour after the ETA to deliver the food. I had to call them to convince them to even make my order which was supposedly forgotten about because of issues with the app. They told me I would receive a refund. Then when I worked with the app to get my refund, they changed their story to "being so busy they didn't see my order." Considering the quality of the food they surely can't be THAT busy. They refused to authorize my refund and lied to the app support so that they wouldn't have to issue my refund. I suppose there is no level of depravity to which they would not sink to hold onto their almighty dollar. When I did get the food it wasn't that good. It was rather powdery for a pizza. It was certainly not worth the $75 and over 2 hours wait. Definitely do not recommend them and will not be ordering from them again. read more

This was our first experience eating The Pizza Joints food and it won't be our last!!! The food was absolutely delish! Joe the owner is personable and generous! My husband and I are both high risk, tomorrow is my husband and my 14 year anniversary, & sunday is Mother's Day and because of Covid-19 finances are tight. Joe graciously donated chicken cutlet parmigiana, penne alla vodka, salad, cannolis, and even chicken fingers and fries for my daughters! The food was Amazing! The chicken cutlets were crispy not all soggy, the Sauce was amazing, and the penne alla vodka had tons of flavor! So again take my word for it this is a Great family owned business who always puts the customer first! read more

Quality pizza and generous toppings. Did take out and ventured from my local shop and it didn't disappoint. I heard they have great sandwiches as well so will be trying one next time. Definitely recommend. read more

I'm a new Yorker and so glad I found this place, as Pizza around pa stinks! There dough is awsome and they have some really fun pizzas to try read more

The pizza was great and the customer service was home-ee. Very nice and welcoming. I would come back even thru inflation crisis.

So I have been going to the pizza joint for awhile now for cheesesteaks. They used to load on cheese prolly one of the best cheesesteaks I have ever had. But the past two times including today there has been very little cheese on it. It's a very full and filling sandwich but could definitely use more cheese. read more

Nice ,nice , any food on the menu so good anything you order you will be satisfy !The owner his very friendly and he knows his stuff!Right now are temporarily closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! Call before you go on those two days for regular resume schedule! I recommend to people that I know!you won't regret it! Have a great day! read more

Not very happy. Didnt get the salad we ordered. It took 20 mins longer than expected for delivery. Delivery delay is understandable but charging for food not delivered is below expectations. The food has always been good here but this meal is less than acceptable. read more

Have ordered here multiple times. Specialty pizzas are very good as is the penne vodka. My favorite is the "Grilled Chicken Italiano." Excellent, highly recommend! read more

The Nonnas Grandma pie is EXCELLENT!! So much flavor. Joe G knows his food and I can't wait to try to Tomato Basil pie and the Chicken Francese. They were my go-to meals at Taste. Well done Joe!! read more

Amazing sandwiches & pizza!! It is crazy how difficult it is to find a quality pizzeria who consistently deliver great quality food! The cheesesteak is incredible. We have always been cooper cheese fans and their cheese sauce enhances everything! We also had their vodka chicken sub and it was absolutely delicious. Fresh rolls and great sauce. Can't get any better than this Italian joint! read more

Had two slices today! Wow! Was really good. This place is going to get a full pizza pie order very soon.

I don't normally comment about pizza on here because I have my favorites in my area, but today I was treated to something fantastic, outstanding, even extraordinary!! I ordered a grandma's style pizza with a little extra cheese and received exactly what I expected. The best part of my experience was not the great customer service I received on the phone, not the fast response and delivery that I received, but the pizza itself. It was more than I expected. I was soooo excited to see this place pop up and to know who runs it as well!! Thank you for such a great tasting pizza, and cheers to this business booming and becoming the best around!! Keep up the great job!! read more

I have been aquatinted with Joe Grisafi food style for a little while., He, along with his family operated the former Taste of Italy Bar & Grill on Catasaqua Rd. I was beyond delighted when I heard he opened The Pizza Joint on Airport Rd. It is nestled between H&R Block and the Wine and Spirits. We immediately ordered for pick up and the pizza had the same authentic flavor that we loved and missed so much. He has a few tables and booths if you want to grab a meal there. My girlfriend and I did that the following week. We absolutely loved our meal. He has a yummy menu posted online for viewing and for call ahead orders. He has slices, pizza, lunch bowls and dinners. I did pick up slices one evening to take home. He happened to open shortly before all this Carona mess hit. he had a great variety to choose from. They are now open for delivery and curbside pickup only, of course! Trust me when I say you won't be sorry!! I truly missed their unique flavours of Italian cuisine! read more

Food was disgusting. It was cold and the guy behind the counter was beyond rude.

My boyfriend and I ordered a margarita pizza, mozzarella sticks, and a chicken piccata from this place. The pizza and mozzarella sticks were obviously good. The crust was extra crispy which gave it an extra satisfying crunch. However, the chicken piccata was awful and I couldn't even eat it. The spaghetti that came with it was tolerable, but was very bland. The chicken also was bland and clearly overcooked as it was rubbery and was curled and shrivel at the edges. I felt bad that my boyfriend paid nearly $30 for our meals and I didn't even like mine. I think there are better pizza places in Allentown. read more

On the pricey side for pizza. Took over an hour to get my food and the pizza tastes like box pizza. That is no exaggeration. Ellios box pizza tastes better. read more

I live in NYC, and come to stay and visit with my sister frequently. I had seen a friend from the area post pictures from the pizza joint, and convinced my brother in law who frequently buys pizza from the area, to try out the pizza joint. We had ordered a supreme well done and when I arrived to pick up, (I'm assuming the manager/owner) first checked the pizza and determined it wasn't well done enough. He offered to throw it back in to get the crust well done. Since I had to wait, he threw in some cinnamon knots. A+++ move in food service. Then, I watched as he put on a new glove, to pick off the torched basil, and put on a handful of fresh basil. Excellent customer service PIZZA JOINT!! The pizza was hot and delicious. Veggies were fresh and crisp and the parmesan sprinkled on top was a wonderful touch in addition to the fantastic fresh basil. My brother in law now says that this is his pizza place. I hope you continue to grow and do well and I'll tell all my Bethlehem and allentown peeps about you! read more

I found out about this place when they supplied free food for my department during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was baked zielt and a garlic sticks. This prompted me to give them my business, I wanted to repay their nice gesture. So the first time I ordered from them I ordered a buffalo chicken pizza and hot wings, unfortunately this order was FUBAR by the time it reached my door. They have my a cheesesteak and pierogis, which were aright. I was so upset with my ordered I had completely lost my appetite, so I ate cheesesteak the next day which wasn't the ideal way eat that. Now let's talk about this pizza, this god forsaken pizza...it was a buffalo chicken pie with actual buffalo chicken tenders instead of chip chicken or whatever else, that's the good news the bad news is that the ENTIRE pie was covered in blue cheese and not like Mozzarella was the main cheese source and the blue was extra. Nope, opposite and it was inedible. So you're asking how did they get 5 stars? I'll tell you how I learned my lesson and I'll never order that pizza again. What gets the place 5 stars are their wings, and their regular pies. The wings are a good size and the hot sauce is a perfect level of hot where it's still enjoyable. Their regular pies are fantastic, the sauce is good, cheese has a nice string to it and they throw fresh basil which amplifies all the flavors. The pepperoni is my go to topping, but their toppings list is pretty extensive. The other pie I recommend is the Vodka pie where instead of classic marinara it's replaced with a pink vodka sauce, I put meatballs on mine and it was divine. This is now my go to pizza place in Allentown, the delivery people are nice, and they are always either on time or early with their deliveries. If you live in their delivery radius or you live close to airport rd absolutely check them out. read more

The food never showed up and no one was answering the phones waited over 45 mins past expected delivery time still nothing

I used a Groupon but this establishment didn't abide by the terms! They insisted I had to pay an "upcharge" of $6 because of a chicken wing shortage! They refused to make any substitutions. 1st & last time for us! read more
