The range of classic and experimental pizzas is fun and they are, so far, all delicious. It's been a real journey finding the right pizza place here and this one is probably our new go-to. Parking can be tricky tho, be prepared to walk or wait a bit.

(Last visited 4/26/2022.) Working at my company's headquarters for a couple of weeks and a…read moreco-worker of mine mentioned that this place has AMAZING pizza and some good wings. So... I came here for lunch... then again a few days later! Lol. Atmosphere/Appearance: Located in what I thought was Excelsior, is actually Tonka Bay right off of some water is this gem. It's in a plaza with a few other businesses and a part of a private parking lot. The inside isn't too crazy. You walk in and you are greeted by grand smells of pizza cooking in their huge steel ovens! The menu is overhead and the dining area is to the left. I remember a lot of exposed wood, plastic benches and just a classic looking pizza joint. Service: I can't remember the young lady's name, but Sydney or Candace come to mind. Lol. Whoever it was that took care of us was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. However, all you do is just place your order at the counter, take the number they give you and go sit down then wait for you food to be brought out to you. Drinks are self-serve as well. Food: Throughout my visits I've had the chance to check out 3 of their wing flavors and a couple of toppings on their pizzas. The wow factor here is about big the slices are. They literally don't even fit onto a single plate. The edges hang over rim of the plate. Lol. So for lunch you can order the pizza + salad combo and it totally fills you up. The wings are also enormous and quite delicious I might add! I'd definitely get them again. Cajun and the Buffalo were my favorite, but the BBQ wasn't too bad either. Value: A single order of wings will give you 6 and it'll cost you $10.00. Double your order for $16.50. Like I mentioned, they wings are huge so I think this is a pretty good value. Any time a day you can get a cheese slice + salad + drink for only $12.50. Toppings will cost extra of course. In conclusion, I loved this place. However, coming for lunch and eating heavy makes for a slow rest of the work day. Lol. I ain't trippin' though, sometimes that's what's necessary!

Serves very good pizza, tasty sandwiches with spicy chips and flavorful, generous pasta with a slice of garlic toast.. I had a large bowl of spicy chicken fettuccine with a slice of garlic toast hanging off to one side. I found the dish to be full of flavor (and to be fair probably calories as well). I devoured the toast but took home enough leftover chicken and pasta to make a nice meal for later consumption. If dining in one orders at the counter, is issued a number stand and grabs a table or booth. Orders when ready (relatively quickly) were promptly brought out by cheerful servers. Fountain drinks, silverware, plates and paper napkins can be found at a separate stations along the wall opposite the order counter (in the midst of the dine-in portion). Ate here with my son who works nearby (shout out to Wilkes Auto) and two old friends from my college days. All left with satisfied looks on their collective faces. Based upon the number of people milling around awaiting their respective orders as well as the steady stream of customers in and out of the main entrance (on a weekday evening no less) Joey Nova's appears to do a brisk take out business.

My husband and I made a reservation for the Thursday "date night " special, which was listed as $60…read morefor two salads, an appetizer or dessert, two pasta dishes, and a bottle of wine. We were seated quickly at 6pm. The food was good! We opted for the beet bruschetta appetizer in lieu of dessert. I thought the sweetness of the honey ricotta played well against the earthiness of the beats. And the ciabatta bread was chewy and flavorful. The wedge Caesar was good, I loved the homemade croutons. A little heavy on the dressing, but you could tell it was homemade and had great flavor from the anchovy- a solid Caesar dressing. My husband got the seafood pasta, and I got the spaghetti and meatballs. He loved his, and I loved the bold flavor of the house made red pasta sauce. The meatballs were big and well seasoned. My only critique, and perhaps this is unfair, but the pasta was clearly not homemade and I wished it was. The only hiccup is that the date night was advertised as coming with a bottle of wine, and we were charged $20 for the bottle we got. It was explained to me that they had said in the beginning that the wine was "a $20 mystery bottle" meaning we couldn't choose it. I interpreted this to me that the free bottle of wine that was advertised as part of the date night was valued at $20. I explained this felt like a little bit of a trick and the charge was removed from our bill without any fuss. That was much appreciated. Because of how that was handled, we will definitely return! Overall, it was a pleasant evening, and I enjoyed myself. Stand out was the bruschetta for sure. Server was friendly and cheerful and didn't rush us.

The pasta alla Rosa was just okay. The bucatini was al dente but the sauce did not have enough cream/umami richness. It was quite on the watery side and didn't coat the noodles well

I love the simplicity of the Margherita and also love the Whoopty with sausage, mushrooms, and onions. The bagels on the weekends are also exceptional -- have bought a few packages and frozen them for later and they still taste great from the freezer!

One of the staff members actually told me it was his favorite and he was absolutely right. So good! For breakfast sandwiches, you really can't go wrong with the sausage, egg, and cheese on the cheddar bagel (kind of similar to an asiago bagel). Add chive cream cheese and fully commit...MMM! It is a little spendy, but the portions are HUGE. Definitely enough to split with someone or turn into two meals, so it feels more justified once you see the size. Plan extra time to your visit to wait in a small line, they're popular!

If you want something a little different this is a great choice. Visually great. Taste is good. The bacon really is the star of the show. Definitely add chili flakes for a little pop of heat. Margarita pizza. Definitely a miss. Their interpretation is with no red sauce and not using fresh buffalo sauce mozzarella. Tiny chopped tomatoes and sparse basil hidden under the cheese.. Basically was regular cheese only pizza with chopped tomatoes.

We've celebrated several milestones here and it's so special to me. Any pizza is going to be great but something about their Boise always keeps me.

It can get a little cramped, but it was actually fun being able to watch all of the food being made and sent out. I ordered the pickle pizza, and it was such a unique and delicious experience! It was my first time having Old Dutch potato chips on a pizza, and they added the perfect crunch. The flavors worked so well together, especially with the fresh dill. We also started with the Caesar salad, which was excellent, the freshly made croutons really took it to the next level. The service was wonderful from start to finish. Next time, we'll definitely make a reservation ahead of time and come back to try the gochugaru spiced dry wings and save room for ice cream!

We ordered a gluten-free pizza, veggie pizza and a couple sausage and pepperoni NY style crust. There were no complaints from the GF member of the party, and I really enjoyed the veggie! The NY style crust is definitely thick, but I found it tasty. Only downside is that this pizza is GREASY - I'm not one to blot pizza but I had to.

We got a couple of hoagies. The Joey meatball and the Italian beef. The person behind the counter we helpful and attentive. The food came out pretty quickly.
