They win the boss of the sauce competition all the time, well deserved. They never mind all our strange requests and modifications which is a must for our family. Great pizza, sub, entree dinners, appetizers, zeppolis, never got a bad dish. Chicken tenders are actual strips of breaded chicken breast and not the frozen kind, so it's a must on every order, with the marinara for dip is best way.

If ordering on line do not order using the chow now app. Was charged $20 more for same pizzas and received toppings on half the pizzas vs using the slice app and getting toppings on the whole pies.

First time ordering from Johnny g's Pizza and this is what was delivered. 36° outside Pizza on the concrete with the lid open no knock no doorbell ring no indication that my food had been delivered. It's sad that the delivery drivers are affecting the businesses reviews but unfortunately others need to be

I order from here all the time and I really enjoy their food. I looked online and saw that they had ricotta stuff crust pizza. My family was excited so we order a stuffed crust half plain half pepperoni pizza. I went in to pick up the pizza and when I got home my family noticed there was ham in the crust. Online on the menu it does not mention having ham. My family does not eat ham. I called the store and told the same person I had gotten the pizza from and he said that it does come with ham and I told him that we do not eat ham so the pizza will be wasted and all he said back was "next time ask for no ham". I was unaware it had ham in it so how would I know to ask for no ham if the menu does not even mention it having ham. And it is a shame that they are unwilling to fix my order or make me a new pizza. I should have kept the five dollars I tipped on my pickup order.

Not sure what all the hype is about with this place other than the locals seem to enjoy it. Way over priced for some shrimp dinner we ordered. Waited 45 minutes for a pizza we called in and still had to wait. Unorganized this is our last visit as the prior one when we opened the pizza box the cheese slid to one side was loose and sauce was watery. Place isn't cheap either there are much better places to get pizza and one is right down the street so we go there!

First of all, ask yourself…why would I take the time to write a review when there are so many other things I could be doing? It’s very simple, really. I just had a fantastic experience at JOHNNY G’S… and I would love for everyone to have the same! From the moment I walked in the door the young woman behind the counter was so welcoming and kind, it made me feel totally at home. I had just gone swimming, so I was very hungry…so I ordered the eggplant Parm and also the fettuccine Alfredo! I know, you’ll probably laugh when you hear that I ordered a diet root beer to go with it, but hey- to each his own! Anyways, both dishes were absolutely delicious! The eggplant Parm was so fresh, and the sauce was just right – not too sweet and not too salty. I’m pure Italian, so I know about sauce! The chef came out to ask how things were and I’m pretty sure the owner checked in on me as he walked by. Everyone was so nice-it’s the kind of place you just feel like family instantly. I’m not getting any kickbacks or anything for writing this and I don’t know anyone who works there, in case you’re wondering. I simply feel enthusiastic when I enjoy delicious food, and really outstanding service. Let’s face it, this day and age- people being warm and caring is such a blessing! Thank you to everyone at JOHNNY G’S!Vegetarian options: You can get vegetarian pastas, pizzas, salads, soups, and appetizers!Parking: It’s a nice big parking lot, so totally easy to park which is great!Kid-friendliness: I don’t have children, yet if I did I would feel totally very comfortable bringing them here. Everyone was super nice!
