We decided to try Papa J’s after seeing a post on social media about their pizza. WOW! My husband and I each ordered a slice of pizza. I ordered the mortadella and he ordered the sausage. First impression—the crust is to die for! It is crispy on the edges and pillowy soft inside. Ingredients are fresh and well balanced. I especially loved the flavor of sausage after trying a bite of my husband’s pizza and the banana peppers and marscapone on my pizza. We were very impressed...
This place is incredible! Pasta, bread, bloody Marys, pizza made from scratch. Family owned with DELICIOUS and high quality products. Super kind staff gave us a little tour of their pasta room and the service was lovely! Highly recommend!
Excellent food. A bit pricy for italian, especially since none of the pasta dishes come with a protein, so you have to pay essentially double to get protein. Hard, cold, metal chairs, so not designed for comfort at all. Felt like 5 star food at a less comfortable fast food joint.
Kid-friendliness: Only 2 options on the kids menu - buttered noodles or chicken tenders. Not optimal for a foodie kid.
