Now I remember why we don't come here. My husband wanted Corned Beef and Cabbage. Was advertised on Facebook. Got there and only available after 4pm. Would have been nice to know that. He got a Reuben instead. We ordered nachos for an appetizer. They came out with our meal which is one of my biggest pet peeves. Also, I can make better nachos at home . They were pathetic. If you are planning on opening a high end restaurant good luck. Definately not getting my hopes up considering I just spent $70 on mediocre bar food.

We've eaten several times at Joey's and they've always had excellent pizza. Both the thin crust and Chicago style are both tasty options.

Awesome authentic Detroit style pizza! We live in south Charlotte and will happily make the drive for this pizza. The crust is so good and the atmosphere is great for families and singles. Love the open kitchen!

Had a great experience at Joeys. To be honest I wasn’t expecting the food to be as good as it was! The lunch fettuccini pasta was amazing! Jaden was a great server and I would definitely come here again.

Update 02/12/24: (Takeout advice. See below). According to Google reviews, I posted the last update in 2022. Unfortunately, Google does not allow multiple reviews from a User so one has to update the initial review. Why this is is a bit of a mystery as one’s views can change over time.I’m happy to say that my opinions on Joey’s hasn’t really changed over time. They still serve the best Pizza in Denver, NC now that their main competitor, Pomodoros, closed. Pomodoros closed not because the food or service was lacking but simply because they could not staff their kitchen. What a terrible commentary on our time.So, where are we today? This update is simply to advise customers that if ordering takeout, no matter the time you specify for pickup or if just ordering ahead, arrive at least 10 minutes before the time you are told the food will be ready.Personally I try to get there a minimum of 15 minutes early and chill at the bar so I can get the food as it comes out of the kitchen. Trust me, if you arrive at the specified pickup time, your food has been cooling for 10 minutes, maybe more.I am not changing my rating but post this as an FYI for those who take heed of reviews.—/////——I’ve written about Joey’s before which would usually rate 4 stars from me. It is my family’s go-to place for pizza, specifically, Grandma’s pizza which is Detroit-style pizza, a rectangular, thick pizza with your choice of toppings, a goodly amount of cheese, and sauce. (Note, try to eat it fresh; it does not hold all that well overnight).But this review is not about the food tonight (skip down 3 paragraphs for why I am giving 5 stars this time) except to say we had the Amberjack special, a wrap, and the usual for my son, a chicken quesadilla.I don’t typically order fish when I go out and on the dinner menu at home, we were supposed to have salmon but Brian L talked me into trying the Amberjack. Go figure.Amberjack is a mild fish, often cut as a thick steak. Tonight’s serving was diced into large cubes with tri-color tortellini, spinach and a creamy garlic and Grand Marnier sauce. Very good so if you go sometime and see it as a dinner special, give it a try.But, I am burying the lead. Tonight’s 5-star rating goes to Brian. This guy is from Brooklyn, Italian, and maybe the best waiter in Denver.Why? He’s engaging, does a great job of explaining dishes, entertainingly served up by his Brooklyn accent, and most importantly, he dutifully clears away empty dishes and the usual litter of stuff from a meal (paper straw sleeves, etc.) WITHOUT being asked.This bears repeating and LISTEN UP every single other server in my little village of Denver, NC: Your normal duty as a server should always include taking away the empty plates and other detritus of a meal. Allowing all this stuff to just pile up and clutter the table during and after the meal is annoying to many and directly impacts my tip to you. Failing in this very traditional act of serving, you are failing as a good server.In my experience, there are a lot of just ok servers in Denver, poorly trained and lacking anything like a professional demeanor. Sure, we have many friendly servers, but very, very few really good ones. And what separates the professional from the friendly are really taking care of your customers which always includes clearing away the table. It is a very small but crucial step, ignored by too many unless asked.I start at 20% and either deduct or add to the tip depending on the overall experience. I am happy to report that Brian’s tip went north.Well done, Brian.
It's a great place to go to watch the game the staff is friendly and there is no rush to push you out. The menu is ok but could use a

We arrived at 1:05 PM on a Monday for lunch based on the extraordinary reviews. Figured most patrons would have eaten and we could get in and out quickly. We were seated promptly and the server took our order at 1:10 PM. We ordered a pizza and side salad to share. So far so good. Then we waited and waited. At 1:30 PM I inquired why it was taking so long to get our food. I was told they were slammed. ?. Given the number of empty tables I don't buy that excuse. Obviously the kitchen was short staffed. Our pizza finally arrived at 1:45 PM. We were out the door by 1:55 PM. This was our first and last visit to Joey's. YMMV

I love this place. From the pretty young ladies working to the very tasty food to the very affordable prices. I've never had a bad meal here. The service is excellent. It's a very nice crowd. We can either Sit at the bar or sit on the table and have a very good experience every time. We tried the one in Sherrills Ford, but it cannot hold a candle to the original Joeys.

Got pizza and it was luke warm. Server never asked how the food was and didn't come back to the table except to bring the bill.

Loved the blacken salmon.
