Well this place was surprise find! It’s a hole in the wall in Pier Village - easy to miss. Probably the best gluten free pizza I’ve had anywhere which is crazy to say because I consider myself a gluten free pizza connoisseur. The hubs has chicken artichoke pasta and he loved it. Service was great. Atmosphere was quirky and fun. Good vibe. Very busy.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free pizza!

Deep dish pizza is always delicious! This was our first time trying the dessert (we planned to take them home, hence the containers), they were delicious! They didn't make it home, we ate them right there!

Hand tossed. Used to be great. Price up. Quality down. Ordered by phone. Picked up on time. Pizza was cold and tasteless just sitting on a cold counter for pick up. Very disappointed.

Heard so many people tell us to go eat at Cj's so we did! It was like walking into CHEERS! A small quaint lil Pizzaria with great people who run it!! You can tell locals know about it! We ordered a calzone and a small deep dish and their sauce is PERFECTION!!! So delicious that we ate it all up! We will be back to try sandwich and the appetizers!! They looked awesome!

The restaurant is small and narrow. Despite the size of it, the food makes up for it. The taste of it is delicious. Waitresses are busy yet try hard to see if you need anything. - Ill return anytime

I ordered a pizza to go and when I got there at the specified pickup time (70 minutes after order) my order wasn’t even in process. The restaurant was slammed so I was told to wait with no information as to how long. The staff was dismissive and the pizza cook was belligerent and completely stressed out yelling about no pizza cutters and throwing boxes around. While I love the food, I doubt I’ll ever go back there after the treatment I received. I eventually got my pizza 40 minutes after I arrived to pick it up.

Visited while on vacation and was kind of disappointed. They were out of Italian sausages and the pasta was SO overcooked. My husband was also not very happy with his food. Probably wouldn't return

I've been on the island for a while now and this is one of my new favorite spots. It's tiny and seating is awkwardly amazing in the tight quarters. Staff was friendly and quick. Wine available as well as delicious draft beer in ice cold mugs. We split the small house salad which came with a ton of amazing bread and marinara sauce. We also split a small deep dish pasta which had us feeling like we were back home with a fresh Detroit style Za. Zero complaints, love everything about this small and cozy Italian joint.

Amazing food at a steal of a price. Let me start with the "deep dish" pizza. If you are from Michigan you will know this as Detroit style. The buttery crust stole the show but the marinara was legit as well and you could tell it was homemade. A small deep dish with a small salad was more than enough for two people. Not sure why we waited so long to try this but now that we know how good it is we will be back and will bring our visitors from the Mitten.

A group of 6 of us stopped by for dinner and we had a great meal. One person in our group wanted Italian and I noticed their reviews here on yelp. I wouldn't call this place an Italian restaurant, really just a pizza place that has some good pasta dishes. Overall we were extremely pleased with everything. I had the lasagna and it was the most unique version I've ever had. Everyone in our group ordered a pasta dish and they all enjoyed it. If you're looking for a casual meal in a smaller restaurant then you'll like CJ's. The service was also great and the food came out quickly.

Mostly very good, I don’t recommend calling in take out at all, the timing is never correct. Dining in works best. Very busy during the summer!!
