Happy Joe’s Pizza & Ice Cream Parlor

I really wish I could rate this 0 stars because they deserve it.
My family and I just wanted something quick and tasteful, Happy Joes was neither.
The place was empty, and we only ordered 3 items (one being a hoagie sandwich). We waited a solid 35 – 40 minutes on our food. The way the place is set up, you’re able to see inside the kitchen. I saw our food waiting in the window for what was probably 10 – 15 minutes, as employee after employee just looked at it and passed it up.
Finally, we got our food, and none of us wanted to take a bite. My fathers panini had a weird sauce that looked like it came out of someone’s ass. He took a bite and threw it away.
My hoagie looked fine. It’s a hoagie, how can you possibly mess it up? After a bite, I found out Happy Joes accomplished the impossible. They messed up a hoagie sandwich. A. Hoagie. Sandwich. Nothing but bread, lettuce, tomato, turkey, ham and cheese. I think every ingredient in my meal was two-​three weeks old.
My mom and sister split the seafood pasta. I’ll admit, we messed up by ordering seafood at a pizza joint, but the pasta wasn’t even cooked. The cheese was thick and hard. I don’t even want to know what kind of meat was in that.
Nothing was edible. The service was horrible, and the place was trashed.
I hope not every Happy Joes is like this.
DO. NOT. GO.

With a name like «Happy Joe’s» this is the most depressing place I’ve stepped foot in. We were planning on going on a distillery tour at three and were hoping to grab a quick lunch beforehand. Unfortunately the place we were planning on eating at didn’t open until four so we stopped in this gem. The lunch buffet was still sitting out and looked as if it had been for hours. We went to the front and placed an order for a pizza and nachos. As we were walking away the girl who took our order asked the other cashier if we just ordered a pizza. Um… you took our order! Did you not hear us?! The pizza was about the same as a frozen pizza would be. It was weird because it had cheddar cheese on it. Who does that? There was also a lot of grease pooled into the center which tells you it was made with a low quality cheese. I could think of a lot of words to describe this place but «happy» is not one of them.

Absolutely disgusting. We went in today (5−24−15) for a post graduation family ice cream sit down. There were 2 clean tables in the entire restaurant when there are about 30 tables total. We were the only family there, too. Every table in sight had no guest but was covered in plates and garbage. At one point, I even cleared a table for a new family. The staff wasn’t even busy, they were all wandering in the kitchen. Absolutely a disgrace to the Happy Joe’s Corporation and family. I posted a photo of the mess, too.

Just Say NO to Happy Joe’s. Seriously, don’t do it. Pizza is worse than Totino’s. I’d rather give a stranger my $ than spend it here.

Not a picky person but we have ordered for delivery (4) times the same thing each time and not one time has it been right. Even after making them repeat the order back.

People from Iowa love Happy Joe’s and insist you stop in for the taco pizza.
‘Nuff said.
