I’m actually quite surprised with how many of the reviews that say this place has good food….It doesn’t. Nice waiter! Very kind! But the food… no

We moved to Center almost a year ago, and we discovered Joe's when my husband was craving pizza. We have not yet dined in but only ordered pizza to go. And let me tell you, their pizza is phenomenal. It's not slathered in sauce like some pizza, but it has just enough to add flavor. The ingredients are fresh, and the portions are large for the price. We ordered a large with pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives today, and it was great as usual. Please understand: I am not a pizza fan. If I could have it maybe once a year, I'd be fine. But since discovering Joe's, I don't argue when my husband wants pizza. I'm not going to say I'm a pizza groupie yet, but Joe's is making it hard for me not to be!

Very pleasant small town restaurant. The food quality is pretty high, the prices are good. The service has been good each time I have eaten their food. This is the best pizza in town and I have been three times.

Don’t know if I’ll give this place another chance. Haven’t ordered in months because they got my order wrong twice before. The last time I just went ahead and took the food. For some reason this place puts cheese on top of a pepperoni pizza. I have no idea why because every other place doesn’t. Knowing this is the way they do it, I specifically asked for them to put the pepperoni on top of the cheese so they get crispy. I’m just not going to pay for something I didn’t order. Whoever took the order needs to start paying attention. I may try one more time, after that I’m done.

My co-worker and I ate dinner here a couple months ago. Co-worker really like his food also. Now every time I am in town for work I eat here. Great pizza and pasta!

Visited here for the first and last time last night. We were the only people in the restaurant when we arrived. It picked up later but still not busy. Only one guy presumably the owner and one girl working the front. Restaurant is very small only 15 tables max. Food was ok but not worth the price. Restaurant has no bar. Despite looking fancy it is very casual without even a hostess. Service was abysmal. Practically had to trip the guy to get our check, nobody refilled drinks, we were served three pieces of bread for a table of four and when I asked for more I was ignored. Definitely would not recommend.

This is my regular spot. If I’m going out to eat there’s no other place I’d rather go. The food was truly amazing. The service was excellent. I got steak and it was cooked exactly how I wanted it. My wife got fettuccine Alfredo and she loved it. The kids menu was perfect. 10/10 recommend and definitely going back.

I would give negative stars for service if I could. I have tried to eat here twice...1. After seating us, a waitress appeared with lots of attitude to inform us she was too busy to serve my fiancé and I. We were asked to leave. It was 6:30 pm.2. Made it to the appetizer that the server brought out. Unfortunately, it was the wrong appetizer. When we mentioned this, she stomped to the kitchen to fetch the cold stuffed mushrooms. We ordered and waited. 15 min. later, our server, who at this point was full of attitude, informs us the oven was broken and they could not prepare our order.As we left without dinner, I heard the server take an order for what I had ordered, baked lasagna and a pizza. I think they were going to need that broken oven to start working in a hurry.I have been told that since the owners had opened a second restaurant and were not really at Joe's much anymore... maybe they will read this and start paying attention to what has been happening at Joe's. I hope so as I love good Italian food but have only cold stuffed mushrooms and a glass of tea to write about.

We had a wonderful meal. Best Italian in East Texas. I highly recommend the tour of Italy and Lobster Ravioli. The bread is fresh and warm. Lovely ambiance. If you have room for it- the chocolate cheesecake dessert was phenomenal.Kid-friendliness: Brought our baby in the stroller with no issues.Wheelchair accessibility: Brought our 94 year old grandmother- very accessible.
