I should have looked at the reviews. If you’re in Grafton think twice about eating or ordering out from this place. I ordered a carry out and even gave them a tip. But they still could not get out 16 inch pizza in under an hour. A waste of my time on a Thursday night. They appear to be under new ownership and can’t live up to the former. Also crust is partially burned and they use canned mushrooms. They should end the pizza side and put more work into the bar because they like to service bar people with pizza before they service carry out…I’m done with Johns.

6 of us went for pizza here for the first time. Pizza wasn’t bad, but the experience was horrible. There were only 2 other tables in the restaurant while we were there, and we could see at least 6 employees in the kitchen (typically on their cellphones). Our server barely came back to our table. We never got napkins, utensils or refills on our drinks. We ordered 3 pizzas, one for each couple. Pizzas came out 1 at a time with a good 30 minutes between getting each one. The pizzas were decent, but all came out at different levels of cooked. One was a little under cooked and one was a little over cooked. Our server then went ahead and added a 20% tip onto the bill and didn’t say anything. I noticed and let the rest of my group know cause they didn’t notice. We looked at the menu, and no where did it say tip was automatically applied. If we weren’t so tired from a day of moving our friends into their new apartment, I would have argued the tip, because there was no way he deserved 20%. I absolutely would not go back and would not recommend this place to anyone.

I generally had good things to say about John's Pizza in the years past. Unfortunately, something must have gotten lost in the hand-off to the new owners.We ordered four pies and the baking was rather inconsistent, ranging from blackened on the bottom on one, to nearly raw on another. While the cheese was the usual generous amount, the other toppings were rather inconsistently applied. The amount of sauce used was less than in the past...possibly to compensate for the now cracker-thin crusts. Most disappointingly, everything just seemed to lack much flavor. Even the garlic bread seemed like a hastily assembled concoction.To their credit, the service was good, albeit inexperienced. I have no complaints about this, as everyone needs to start somewhere. They also quickly remade the burnt pizza without question, so this was handled well.Admittedly, I don't visit John's a regular basis, but the pizza was completely off the mark of my expectations for what I normally get here. I actually looked forward prior in the day to come here for dinner and enjoy a Johns Pizza the way I've remembered them for years. I never expected to leave feeling so unsatisfied and disappointed after eating half a pie.I'd encourage the ownership to take a close examination of the recipes used for decades here and try to more faithfully recreate those to keep the customers familiar with Johns Pizza. Either that, or totally reinvent things to build a new base of customers on a different style, as the present day rendition is just not worthy of revisiting.Parking: Small lot behind the restaurant, plenty of street parking otherwise.

Pizza is insanely overpriced. $50 for two pizzas. The pizza is pretty good but I don't think it is good enough to justify the hefty price. There are other pizza places in the area that are just as good but much less expensive.

What has happened to this place. Waited way over an hour for delivery… finally when it came it was burned, and missing things. This has happened more than once…. I called them right away to notify them…. She said “thanks” and hung up. Won’t be ordering again.

Very over priced. $21 for a pizza that had no taste. Very disappointed.

John's Pizzaria is a nice quaint little restaurant. The atmosphere was quite good. The waitress was very attentive and polite. She waited on us right away. We ordered a pizza which was quite delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Little did I know, new owners change the recipe and the size of their pizzas. For a 16 in and what I thought would be at least a 12in when in fact it turned out to only be 8in for 51 dollars with delivery. I always considered John's to be in my top 3 pizzas in the area and now it doesn't even make top 10. Totally discusted and never again will I order from them. You lost a good customer for your greed.

Yummy new menu ?. Extremely pleasant atmosphere. Friendly. Clean!!
Our pizza was delivered and the attach picture is how it arrived. When contacting John’s about this they were very rude and were not accommodating at all. There only solution was for us to return the pizza and wait another hour to get a new one. The food also arrived

Family of four, two kids and two adults.Ordered an appetizer and four entrees.Three tables in the dining room were populated including our table.The appetizer took approximately 20-30 minutes to arrive. The first entree was delivered about 15 minutes after the appetizer.The second entree was delivered about 5 minutes after the first entree. The third entree was another 5 minutes and the fourth (Macho Nachos) arrived about 5 minutes or so after the third.The timing and delivery overall was terrible. The nachos did finally arrive about 55 minutes after initially ordering and they were burnt. I took them home and tossed them.The server, though polite, was in a different world. After expressing that we needed to leave within 10-15 minutes, I still had to prompt her for the bill that she still had to manually calculate.All in all, I dropped about $75 and this was my first and last time going there. Taco Bell is a better use of time, money and experience than this place.Maybe the staff/kitchen people were new? I don't know. My advice is to try somewhere else.

Best pizza in town! I love the Junk Salad too. Everyone is very friendly. I always look forward to going to dinner here.

Ordered two orders of fries to be delivered at a next door brewery. Told it would be 20 minutes. After over a half hour, went to check on my order. Told it would be two-three minutes. Ten minutes later I picked them up. No salt or ketchup in the bag, or napkins. Not sure about going back.

First time there and won't be back. One waitress for the entire indoor restaurant, the pizza was burnt on the edges and soggy in the middle, and we had to ask several times for drink refills.
