Really cool little pizzaria in downtown OKC. Felt family owned from the time you walked in until you left - just welcoming.

Service Excellence Meets Kitchen Shortcomings
My recent visit to Joey's Pizzeria was a study in contrasts - exceptional service overshadowed by disappointing kitchen management.
Outstanding Service Malik deserves special recognition for his exemplary service throughout our visit. His attentiveness was remarkable, consistently checking on our table without being intrusive. He demonstrated genuine care for our dining experience, promptly addressing every request with professionalism and a friendly demeanor. Malik's service alone elevated what could have been a frustrating evening.
Kitchen Management Concerns Unfortunately, the kitchen's performance didn't match the front-of-house excellence. My anticipation for their Alfredo pasta was met with disappointment when I learned they were completely out of Alfredo sauce - and this was an hour and a half before closing time. Running out of such a fundamental sauce with significant service hours remaining suggests serious gaps in inventory management and shift preparation. For a restaurant to deplete basic ingredients this early in their operating day speaks to inadequate planning and forecasting. Aside from that this chicken bacon ranch pizza was delicious and the garlic bread with cheese and pepperoni was tasty.
The mismatch between service quality and kitchen preparedness was stark - while Malik provided five-star service, the kitchen's inability to maintain basic ingredients significantly detracted from the overall experience.
Practical Recommendations Call ahead: I strongly recommend phoning before your visit to confirm availability of specific menu items, especially if you have your heart set on a particular dish. Budget awareness: Be prepared for additional charges on individual ingredients and modifications, which can add up quickly.
Joey's Pizzeria has the foundation for excellence, particularly in their service staff. However, management needs to address their inventory and preparation processes to ensure the kitchen matches the quality Malik and his colleagues provide. Until these operational issues are resolved, your dining experience may depend largely on what happens to be available that day.

The staff was very friendly, and the food came out quickly. I ordered some meatballs and a pizza. While the food wasn't quite as good as I had hoped, it was still a decent meal. It was a holiday, which may explain why the service wasn’t quite up to expectations. Overall, it was a good experience.
On Friday May 30 my wife and I went to Joey’s for lunch. When the server approached us to take our order my wife told her she has a gluten issue. She asked if the salads were gluten free. We should have known and should have left because the server told her very sarcastically and with a smirk we can just leave the croutons off the salad. My wife and I both noticed her attitude. My wife got a salad and that was the only thing she ate away from our house yesterday. We had dinner home. Today my wife has been in constant pain from a gluten exposure. She knows what happens when she has food with gluten. In my opinion from the sarcastic attitude our server had and the smirk on her face the server either knew the salad was not gluten free or she put something on the salad knowing it was gluten. Beware if you have a gluten issue I would not eat at Joey’s

On a busy playoff night in Thunder Alley we found such a warm , welcoming atmosphere for the family, and the pizzas were the best! And gelato to top it off.
