Papa Joe's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

Absolutely amazing! Crab stuffed mushrooms were unbelievable! Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp was awesome! Pizza was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! And the complimentary garlic bread is probably illegal in some states! 😍 The staff were all very nice and professional! Our waitress was great! The restaurant definitely has a small mom and pops feel to it and you can tell everyone there takes pride in it! So glad we got to try it and no doubt we will go back!

We dropped by Papa Joe’s on a whim to grab some takeaway pizza. The staff was incredibly friendly, and our wait was short. The pizzas were absolutely delicious—every bite was a delight. I highly recommend this restaurant👍🏼😊

The food and service was, as usual excellent, further enhanced by our waitress Jackie. She deserves 10’stars.

As someone originally from New Jersey, I know good pizza when I taste it—and Papa Joe’s delivers! The pizza was excellent, and it was clear they know their craft. We were delighted to learn that the owners are also from New Jersey, which came up during a great conversation with one of them. Our server was fantastic and kept us engaged all night, making the experience even more enjoyable.

The sangria was so good we couldn’t resist asking for the recipe, and while we didn’t quite get the whole thing, we got close enough!

The only downside was the ambiance. Inside feels a bit outdated, so we opted to sit outside. Inside setup has a dark vibe with basic black metal chairs and tables that could use a refresh to match the quality of the food and service.

Papa Joe’s is a must-visit for the pizza and the people, but I’d love to see a little more attention to the atmosphere in the future!
