I love Joes! Their stuffed pizza with sauce on top is delish as well as their regular pizzas. The sauce is a little sweet and garlicky which is why I love it. They always have specials going on which is nice too. Baked tortellini with meat sauce is one of my favorites. Try it and you won’t be disappointed!

Stopped in on the way to a show and LOVED the family type atmosphere and friendly staff. Great pizza and really recommend you stopping by and eating here! I’ll be back.

Top notch. Family ran, great atmosphere. Excellent pizza with a great semi-​sweet sauce. Plenty of seating, great for a group/​family. If you’re in Effingham it’s a quality place to stop that’s local.

Stuff pizza is great! Kids declared it their new favorite.

We stopped at Joe’s on our way through town. The service was excellent and food was pretty good. They feature all-​you-​can-​eat salad, breadsticks, spaghetti, and soda on Thursdays. The price for four was just a little over $ 16.00! The bread was amazing, salad and spaghetti were good. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but that’s personal preference, and it didn’t keep me from stuffing myself! Overall, this is a great place to grab a bite to eat!

Having eaten at their Effingham location, I was excited to see that Joe’s Pizza was coming to Vandalia. I checked out the Vandalia location for the first time tonight. The food was great and reasonably priced as always… but the location was absolutely dreadful.
If you’re getting takeout, there’s really nothing wrong with it. It’s a bit crowded even to walk through the restaurant to get to the cash register, but once you make it out the door, you’ll be fine.
On the other hand, if you’re eating in, prepare to be miserable. The restaurant is housed in the old Subway/​Quiznos location and it is far too small for what they’re trying to do. You can’t put a good, fairly-​priced restaurant in a town like Vandalia and expect to get by with that amount of space. The décor leaves much to be desired, too, but you barely notice when you’re packed in like sardines.
If you can go when it’s not busy or you can get takeout, do it! Otherwise, be warned :)
