“My family calls this a winner! Great crust and sauce! Awesome!“

“good food excellent service“

“I'm not a regular in the area. My wife picked the location remotely while I was working in the area. Hands down one of the best pizzas I have had. Ever. My suggestion is eat there. You will be doing a disservice to yourself if you eat pizza from somewhere else when you are around.“

“Wonderful food & atmosphere! 100% recommend💖“

“Very friendly and attentive staff. Food was delicious.“

“Great old fashioned food. Great service.“

“Wednesday January 18th 2023 we were seated at our table after 45 minutes no one had come to ask what we wanted to drink or eat the waitress walked by us many times but never stopped then she went to people who were seated after us and waited on them we got up and left will never come back“

“We are from out of town and wanted something close to our hotel. The food and service were top notch! Can’t say enough about this place. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely return.“

“I ordered Spaghetti w/ Mari meat sauce and chicken fritta. It came with a salad. The food was delicious; however, the portion was ridiciously small--I mean less than a cup of spaghetti. The server didn't offer to refill our salad and the bread sticks were on the luke warm side. I left hungry!!! I usually order the soup and salad, but due to medication couldn't have dairy products and went with the spaghetti. The chicken was the best I've had. The problem was the portion size.“

“It smells amazing every time! My mom said best hot ham and cheese she ever eaten (she is 74) My husband says the best meatball he has ever eaten (56 years of meatball sandwiches) My grandson loves the spaghetti and trust me, he is 6 and does not eat many things. As for me, the gondi is soooooo good. Treat yourself to a piece of baklava while you are there because it is awesome! This is a new regular spot for all of us and we all grew up with Avanti, but I love your food much more. I can not express the friendliness and quality of the food. A wonderful atmosphere!“

“One of the few places the entire family can agree on. Always fresh and consistent. Tortellini and the garlic bread is my personal favorite. ❣️“

“Dough is unique, deliciously savory and always perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness and has the perfect texture that, I think, is superior to any other similar ‘Quad-Cities style’ pizza places. The pizza is absolutely amazing, but the real treasures are their calzones. For me, it’s their eggplant calzone. Eggplant can be tricky, but they slice it very thinly, use an excellent breading, fry it to perfection and layer it with creamy ricotta & rich mozzarella wrapped in that amazing dough, though occasionally they’ll not use enough filling (so, I order extra eggplant & cheese, just to be safe.) When combined with their ‘calzone sauce’ (on the side, a perfect match, bold & rich, similar to an amazing marinara but their own take, and I think it’s necessary for the full experience), it is one of my favorite meals. I’ve had pizza & calzones in so many states and cities, so many styles and varieties, but I always end up craving Pizza & Subs above all others when I’m in the mood for that. Pro tip: add eggplant to some of their pizzas, such as their garden. Another nice thing, they actually still deliver themselves, not using some service, and they deliver surprisingly quickly most of the time, for a very reasonable fee, and the people are always kind and friendly. Unfortunately, they changed their hours in the past few years and close much earlier than most pizza places, which can often be frustrating. Sometimes they’ll close randomly due to staffing issues or things that come up beyond their control. And their website is literally years out of date, and always reminds me of how much they’ve raised their prices when I go to look at their menu... But, it’s a family run joint that makes amazing food, so accepting those things is necessary even if it means I don’t get food from them as often as I used to. Otherwise, I can’t recommend Pizza & Subs highly enough as something uniquely amazing that I hope remains open for generations to come. Just wish they were able to stay open later, and their prices went down. It’s worth the splurge sometimes, though, and their pizzas are quite loaded with toppings. 🤷‍♂️“

“Please show this place some love!! Absolutely amazing food and the service was top knotch. Im sure they are struggling with the road construction around their building. 10/10 recommend.“

“I have never been unhappy with anything that I have ordered. Their food is great. I always order delivery because I'm handicapped, and the food is hot and delicious when it's delivered.“

“We used Happy Joe’s for our employee lunch. The food was ready to go when ordered and tasted great. Thanks so much for the good food!“

“Took my mother here for Mothers Day. Had been here previously for dinner. Mom had steak and shrimp and I had a BLT. Our waitress acted like she didn't want to be there. Was only back once to refills drinks. Place wasn't that busy. Maybe she was just having a bad day.“

“Celebrated our parents’ 65th wedding anniversary here. I can’t express how awesome the staff was in making it a memorable day!“

“Parking: Limited, but adequate parking available close to entrance.

Kid-friendliness: Clean and well lit. No dangerous obstacles apparent.

Wheelchair accessibility: Seemed to be accessible. Not sure about automatic push button activated door.“

“I ordered a pizza with extra mushrooms. When the Pizza Hut staff handed me the order (carry out), they informed me that they were not happy with the pizza and asked me to wait for them to make another one. The problem seemed to be that there was a normal amount of mushrooms and not the extra I had paid for. I had not even seen the pizza at this time. I agreed to wait and they whipped out a new one with the appropriate amount of mushrooms. The attendant gave me the first pizza as compensation for the wait time. Overall it was a great experience; not only because I received an extra pizza, but mainly because the attendant took ownership of the mishap. Thank you Pizza Hut for caring for your customers!“
