Joe’s Pizzeria

Pizza is horrible and taste gross. I will never try this place again and hope that they change the way they make pizza

This place is just okay. Nothing special. Nothing to write home about. Just an average pizza spot. Not an authentic place.
Ordered delivery from here last night. Was looking for a spot without a delivery fee and with a relatively low minimum for delivery. Joe’s had both. They delivered in lightning speed which is great because I don’t live exactly that close, but sometimes that speedy delivery is worrisome. They didn’t have one of the items I originally ordered, a stuffed pizza slice with eggplant. They called me to let me know which was considerate. They said they could substitute it with a regular slice with eggplant. I obliged. The pizza was ehhh. I can tell they don’t use good quality cheese here. The eggplant was very salty. The pizza was soggy, along with the Joe’s Special Roll. That was a calzone filled with garlic sauteed spinach and mushrooms. If it wasn’t for the sogginess of it, it would have been pretty good because the inside was yum. The house salad was a tin of iceberg lettuce topped with plenty of Giardiniera. That was a nice touch. Good way to spice up a boring salad. I asked for French dressing, they gave me Thousand Island. The baked ziti was lame. Not a real baked ziti in the least. Just some PENNE pasta and sauce (again, salty!!!) with mozzarella thrown on top. Where’s the ricotta? Hey, can’t expect much from a place like this.
Would I order from here again? Probably not. It was relatively inexpensive but I’d rather pay a bit more and get better, more authentic quality. Was it horrible? I wouldn’t say that. Just… blah. Delivery guy was friendly.

Joes pizza need to bring back Joe … I used to love the chicken park llhero from here. Joe used to toast the hero in the oven till it was crispy and crunchy however the last time I ordered it from here the bread was not even toasted. So this time I was sure to ask them to toast the bread for me in the oven. They must have made the sandwich then put it in the oven cause only the very edge was toasted the rest of the bread was soggy. I also orders garlic knots which Joe also used to make well done and crunchy. This time they were barely cooked. Just raw puffy doe balls.

Love this place. Food is always good with large portions and it gets delivered within the hour.

I was driving around Queens on a day off from work and decided to swing by to look at my family’s house (a few blocks away from here actually; three generations of them lived there!), when the hunger pangs started. I remembered there being a pretty decent pizzeria near my family’s house and decided to give it a try after, oh, probably about 15 or so years since my last time. I also recalled there being a pretty bad pizzeria around here that put sesame seeds on their crust, and hoped that I hadn’t mistakenly picked that one.
the buffalo chicken slice I had was a bit thin and it eventually collapsed under the weight of so much buffalo chicken piled on it, but the flavor and texture was on point. sauce and cheese were pretty good also.
I lucked out — this wasn’t the sesame crust place! and yes, they got the the old-​school neon tables here too.
it’s rare that I am in Maspeth, but for a reliable slice of pizza, Joe’s hits the spot.

Hi guys. I was curious about the reviews about this place and didn’t plan on writing one, but I am surprised for so much bad feedback. The stuff here is friendly, casual. Food is from decent to very good to excellent. I’ve had once a pizza with oily cheese in another place and the whole piece went to the garbage. Joe’s pizza is standard, very good. My favorite is a veal parm and fried zucchini but we in general like everything, and order the food all the time, and consistency is pretty good. Unless you are used to dining in the best french restaurants you’ll find Joe’s pizzeria more than adequate.

My wife had the pizza it was very good, I had the penna vodka with chicken it was excellent, my kid had chicken roll they love it.
Now I ordered from my house is Ridgewood they come right alway I love there food,
They are very politely, great service

Great pizza, timely service, and easy to use website. Delivery guy even brought plates and cups! Oh and free delivery to holiday inn! Ya can’t beat it.

I love pizza, and having grown up in Maspeth, I know what’s good in the area. This is on par with the other more well-​known pizza joints in Maspeth. Their pies and burgers are outstanding.

I work in the area. And it is so tough to get food here and there choices are a little limited if you have a short lunch break. Their pizza is great and they have lunch pasta special which is also great. Its our go to pizzeria for pizza here in our company

Bad. Not authentic. I Order buffalo wings they came without sauce. French fries soggy. Pizza was mediocre it taste like out of state pizza. Am spanish… but spanish people shouldn’t make pizza. Leave it to the italians.

They deliver to Jackson Heights and since we don’t like any of the neighborhood pizza joints we tried ordering from here. Decent pie with not so thick dough which I like.

We ordered a fresh mozzarella Margherita pizza and we received what seemed like an old regular cheese pizza with some fresh mozzarella thrown on top. It was very disappointing. Maybe we caught them on a bad night. Pretty lazy, though

The sauce was way too sweet and there wasn’t much of it. The garlic knots are made of a really light dough that burns very easily and doesn’t hold the flavor of the garlic. And I saw no pieces of garlic, so it might have been powder that they seasoned it with.

I ordered for the first time from here last week and had the chick parm. The chick parm was so fresh and the chicken was dreamily tender! The sauce was special as well. They had fresh veg in it to give it great flavor. It made up for mistakes made on the order. I ordered through an online delivery service and the owner or manager was good about refunding me $ 2.00 because of the mistake they made. My only caveat is be verrry clear about any special instructions.
I ordered food today from another pizzeria I thought was good and now I am so disappointed that I didn’t go back to Old Joe’s. :-(

I’ve eaten here several times and I’m never disappointed. All their pizza dishes are great. I cannot get enough of their tomato sauce base. But their penne in vodka sauce is almost to die for! If your in Maspeth and looking for a bite to eat, Joe’s is the place to go!
P. S. If they have it, try their cheesecake!

This might actually be called The Old Joe’s. That’s what it says on the menu…
Pies are one at a time, and juicy. Real old school place and everyone loves it (except those people who gave it 1 star reviews on Unilocal).

One of the worst experience I had with them last night I usual love ordering their calamaris and buffalo wings in person but last night I decided to order for delivery when my order arrived my food was open not even sealed and half of my food was missing when i called the place up, this guy picks up and i told him the stituation He gives me a nasty attitude and told me I was a liar. This by far is very disgusting and I have no intentions ordering from here for delivery or even bother going to the pizza place. My recommendation for joeys is treat your costumers with respect and deliver hot warm complete meals not opened and half already missing.

I love Joe’s Pizza! Whenever i’m craving pizza, this is the only place I go to. Joe has been there for so long! First, the pizza. It is delicious! I do not know what the other reviewer was talking about when he said they are small. Maybe Joe misunderstood? It is always perfectly made, not undercooked, not over cooked. It’s cheesy and the sauce, is incredible! You really have to try his garlic knots, they are really delicious! My mother remembers going to Joe’s when she was younger, and she still does!
The resturant itself used to look like just a regular Italian pizza place, but since he has put up some groceries. I don’t mind because while waiting for pizza I can pick up other things. And Joe? He’s a great guy, I remember being little and him always giving me free Italian ice and garlic knots. He may come off as a bit angry if you’re new but dealing with people like that on a daily basis is rough (take Steven Slater for example.) Talk to him, ask him how his day went and he won’t forget that. He’s a really nice guy to talk to and the second you talk to him, he opens right up.
Go to Joe’s, get a pizza and some garlic knots and have a conversation with Joe. Support small businesses like Joe, and not Dominos (who do call their medium pizza a large.)

This place is always empty for a reason. To begin they falsely say on the menu large pie when its the box that most pizzerias sell as medium. On top of that Joe’s Pizzeria feels entitles to charge the price of a large pie (which is in fact a medium) for 13.00 $ with «tax» on top of that. Decent pizza that is nothing to write home about coupled with a lousy altitude makes this establishment loser. Keep walking theres plenty of other pizzerias in the area. Unless your compelled to wait 25 – 30 minutes for them to make you one of they’re rip off special medium err. large pies.

I live 2 blocks away and even when I want to resist, if I pass by on the way home from work the aroma usually draws me in. It is the best plain slice I’ve found in a long time, but add mushrooms and it’s scrumptious. Joe is friendly, but no nonsense. He serves a variety of things, but don’t ask for anything not on the menu. For example, no spinach pies, which I love, but he does have broccoli. Every slice is as good as the last and like a previous poster said… he makes it with love. If you just past by it might look like a hole in the wall but don’t be turned off by the plain exterior/​interior. It’s not flashy, but it’s darn good pizza. And I don’t know what Joe does to the salad but there’s nothing like it. It’s just iceberg lettuce (which i don’t usually eat but it’s so freakin good) with his oil and white vinegar combo on top, with tomatoes. At least once a week I order the eggplant parmigana hero and I can’t usually finish it. My boyfriend gets the chicken parm here. Seriously, it’s very hard to not want to go back every night once you’ve had it. Most recently I tried the stuffed pizza: thin dough on top and bottom, filled with a little bit of chicken cutlets and lots of delicious, garlic-​laden veggies that melt in your mouth with the cheese. It’s my new favorite! Delivery is after 3pm only and he closes around 10 — 10:30. On Sundays he opens around 2 or 3pm. He’s right across from Dunkin Donuts. Cash only! Not a great drink selection. Some snapples, and fountain drinks. I usually call ahead when I leave work so it’s ready. Otherwise the heros take at least half an hour because everything is made fresh. Oh, and if you order the baked ziti, it doesn’t come with ricotta cheese unless you ask first. The manicotti is good too. And just to update from below, I don’t think he sells grocery items anymore, but he has sold me pizza dough around the holidays when my family was trying to make traditional Italian foods but the dough wouldn’t rise.

Living in a suburb of New York City I am never without a pizza joint. But the question is finding a good pizzeria. My neighborhood has four and luckily the one down the block from us is the best. It has to do with the sauce. You can tell it is made with love because it is so flavorful. Joe’s has been in Maspeth for over thirty years. It looks like a regular pizza joint. Pics of famouse Italian actors, plastic table and chairs with red checker board table cloths. You can eat in or take out. And choose from a variety of toppings and appetizers such as mozzarella sticks or garlic knots. Joe’s also sells some grocery, such as canned goods.
