“My sister and I recently drove from Pittsburgh to visit our Mom and Aunt Betty in Springfield. We stopped by Jamie’s Route 66 for some takeout pizza. Our Mom and Aunt loved it They aren’t mobile so getting out is difficult. My sister called to make a special request to celebrate my aunt’s 100th birthday. Jamie took them pizza personally. My aunt and mom can’t stop talking about Jamie and her special delivery. Thank you so much!!!! You made their day and ours.“

“This spot is one of our favorite places for great food! The pizza flavors are amazing. The Sophia Lauren is my favorite even made vegetarian style. Yeah, they managed to make it for me vegetarian style and it was perfect! The sandwiches are loaded with meat and flavor. They have frozen take and bake items, a wall of Italian pastas, sauces, cookies, oil and dressings.“

“Best pizza in town ♡ Tuesday they have deals. Larges 12 and family 15. They also have a awards system you can sign up for. Lots of good deals when you sign up. Some people will get $3 off or free cheese bread after a certain amount of visits. They also allow you to take toppings off and replace them with what you want. It's kinda like a subway... but for pizza ♡“

“We have gotten several dishes, several times from here. The traditional pizza is great. Very authentic. The sicilian special is fantastic as well. The meat ball subs and calzones are also favorites of ours. VERY Generous potions for the price. Not a bad wait. The owners are very transparent about the wait if you ask. We eat here every Friday and love it!“

“I had been aware of Rico's since they opened but never had the opportunity to try one of their Pizzas. Now that I have, all I can say is, EXCELLENT PIZZA! Probably the best in the Springfield area! This is Pizza made by people that CARE about the Pizza they serve to you, and if that means anything to you, there will be no disappointment. If you love great Pizza, do yourself a favor and try one.“

“A very cozy place with an ordering counter and a sit-down dining room if you're sticking around. Despite the counter service, the staff was lovely, welcoming, and attentive. They brought fresh bread to the table, unfortunately with a small to-go cup with a small drizzle of olive oil and another of pre-grated parm. A slightly more generous cup of olive oil would have been nice. The carbonara pasta would have been good off the bat if they had properly seasoned it, but some of the extra parm and a generous dose of black pepper got it there in the end. The pizza was the star of the night. Chewy dough with really good gluten development, very nice sauce that was balanced and a nice contrast to the cheese, and quality toppings that weren't too much or too little. Was very tempted by the cannoli in the case, but I will leave it to others to try as I was stuffed. Could be a great place but needs to tighten it up a bit. Would try again though if just for pizza and to try that cannoli.“

“The crew here is amazing. The young men are always friendly and quick to say hello. My son and I come almost every week and it does not disappoint. Our order is always correct and yummy.

Kid-friendliness: My son loves the garlic monkey bread and the employees are always so nice to him.“

“Been going here for many years, old school pizza place in a residential area. Great pizza at a low price“

“My husband and I love it here! So good!! The pizza's are AMAZING!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!“

“It's been years since I had Monical's Pizza. But last Wed I needed to grab lunch while waiting to bring my dog home from the vet's. I did take out, but the staff was so very cordial. Then I had a personal thin crust cheese and a small salad, but wasn't really able to focus on my food. This weekend I decided to get a pizza and their pecan salad delivered. I got a 16' inch thin crust extra crispy. The food was delivered before the stated arrival time, and even then the young man apologized for the delay. The pizza was hot. And both the pizza and the salad were amazing. They are my new "go-to" for pizza and salad.“

“The best food & service! The restaurant is always clean.“

“I've ate at several pizza buffets around the USA. I would rate this one second to the original Pizza Inn located in Brazil indiana but since that one closed in 2007 I have to
say this is by far the best pizza buffet in the United States of America. And to top it of their fried chicken is absolutely amazing as well!!! If your in Springfield illinois and want a great buffet experience stop here you definitely will not be disappointed.“

“this review is going to the GM Ryan at the south Dirksen store, i ordered two large pizzas tonight and i finally called about them being 35 mins late from said delivery time. He was very patient and courteous and explained to me that they was having a little trouble with the Grubhub deliveries. He went above and beyond explaining the situation. when we called the first time about it being late we were told the pizza was already in the car . A full 20 mins after that call we got a call from the grubhub driver asking if we could send them a satellite picture of our house because they could not find it. our house is only 5 mins from the Dirksen store. the grubhub driver should not have waited a full half hour to call about not being able to find us. it is in no way Ryan or the employees at godfathers fault that this happened. i want to thank Godfathers for hiring such a professional as Ruan to lead their store. it is because of Ryan that my family and I will continue to call and order the most awesome pizza in Springfield. please make sure this review gets to the owner Mike and the other owner as i will be checkimg in with Ryan to make sure he got this review of his great patience and service. we can not wait to order from ur store again as the food is awesome and Ryan's service was again above and beyond. thanks for the awesome food that you serve and the people you choose to lead ur team. we will make sure to keep recommending Godfathers to our family and friends as the number 1 pizza place to order from in Springfield. thank you sincerely the sanges family.“

“Craving a smash burger served with a side of warm, family-style service? This is the place! I had the double cheeseburger with sautéed onions—made to order, piping hot, and absolutely delicious. The fries were fresh and crisp, the perfect pairing. The service was outstanding—genuinely welcoming and friendly from start to finish. I’ve heard the chili mac is a must-try too… I’ll definitely be back!“

“Check before you leave! Wish I had! Got home and noticed that I not only did not receive the extra cheese I paid for, I hardly received the normal amount! Bummer!“

“I went there on the day of the grand reopening on July 25th 2024! I am so overjoyed they’re keeping the animatronics! Might I mention that they were in great shape! The staff there were all really nice and welcoming! The pizza was delicious too! :) Truly a magical experience and would definitely recommend for any Midwest animatronic lovers!“

“I've enjoyed Hunt Bros. for over 20 years. The slices are a great after work snack and on a "we just want the whole thing" night, one phone call is all. Our local Marathon ladies make them less than a mile from our house !“

“Had never experienced an "Express Little Caesars" before. Was quite surprised by the freshness & the food was actually hot. You just walk up, grab whatever items you'd like out of the warmer cabinets & checkout at the truck stop cashier. We got some fountain drinks & sat inside Taco John's to eat. Was a tasty, fast, convenient & inexpensive meal for myself & 2 teens. Pepperoni pizza, crazy bread with sauce & 3 32oz fountain drinks for under $17 ?Will definitely be back if/when in the area.“

“Got a pizza at Mario’s on Piper Glen tonight and it was delicious! I wanted to make sure the pizza guy, Alvin got a shout out! Thanks for the great pizza!“

“We stopped in for lunch today and the food was extremely good as always, we have never had a bad meal yet! I also want to say how pleasant our waitress Megan was. She was extremely helpful and very accommodating!!! Great job to Megan and the cooks at the Corner Pub !!!“

“My name is Mike Lawrence. I began coming to Joe’s when it was still located in a somewhat decrepit house located just one door west of the building it’s now in. The front porch on that old house was loose and would bounce or sag a bit when you walked across it and my joke to guests I took in there with me, was they should carefully walk around that bad spot when we left because we’d all be heavier from having eaten and would probably fall through.

My daughter lost her first baby tooth while eating Spaghetti at Joe’s. She’s now 43 so, yeah, we’ve been coming for decades; certainly since the days when Joe Porcasi ran it.

All the food was great and, through all those years, I NEVER heard anyone say anything bad about the food, the service, the price, nothing … until now.

I guess it’s to be expected, especially in the food industry. Over time people weary of doing the same job day after day, get tired of serving the same food to the same people. Pride in performance gives way to pet peeves and personal pity parties. Oh, I get it. I do.

The reviews I read now talking about bad service, bad food, no longer being able to dine in … none of that would EVER have been true back in the day. Back when we came and sat down, talked, laughed, took in the awesome smells, and delighted when the food came. Even standing up to get the door for someone exiting with boxes of pizzas and more to take home to loved ones. Man, those were the best of times.

When we first found Joes, we didn’t go to any other shop in town. Why, when you’d found the best, would you want to go anywhere else?

We had even talked, briefly, with the original owners about opening a franchise on the east side of Springfield. Wish we’d carried through with that instead of opening a restaurant. Ah, well.

I don’t know if it’s still there, but I donated a kitchen chef statue to Joe’s when Jeff bought the place. Used to be right up on the counter.

I live in St. Louis now but, from time to time, when I long for one of Joe’s pizzas, or meatball subs, or lasagnas … and it’s only a 200 mile round trip but, frankly, some of the reviews have kinda bummed me out about doing it.

Ah, well. We’ll see.“
