Joe's Pizza

"Consistently great pizza. The toppings are always plentiful and service is top notch. Check out the sandwiches too, they're delicious!"

"I don't know what all these positive reviews are about, or why I saw so many customers, but this was a disappointment, and that is being generous. I ordered earlier in the day for a later scheduled pickup. I was very much looking forward to some upside-down style pizza and tenders a reviewer said were fantastic (or something to that effect). I arrived about five minutes early, and my pizza was done, but my order of Buffalo tenders was not. I know this because the open kitchen and seating layout allows you to hear most everything. About 10 minutes after my pickup time, my tenders were ready and my order was brought out to me. I was a little annoyed since I placed my order hours prior, but it wasn't a big deal. I understand places get busy. I was within a 1 minute walk, so I was excited for some fresh hot food. Well, what I got was warm upside-down pizza(?) now tasting more like tomato pie. There was plenty of sausage, a full layer across the entire pizza, but I couldn't taste it. For the matter, I couldn't taste much of anything. I don't know where my onions are, because I certainly can't taste or feel those in my mouth. The crushed tomato sauce just tasted like wetness, not even water, just wetness. Reviewers warned against par-baked dough, but I've made, eaten, and used dough like this in the past those mostly came out great. But this was just flavorless, chewy bread. I was so excited for the Buffalo tenders following my disappointment with this pizza-like food. I know when they're tossed they soak up some sauce and become less crispy, but these were already pure sog, just wet bread and tough chicken. They forgot to include my bleu cheese dressing, so I walked back over to get some. I was given my forgotten bleu cheese with no contest, but the bleu cheese could not save the chicken. Most of this meal ended up in the trash and I'm left wondering what establishment I should brave next considering my continuing and prevailing hunger. Save your money; I should have."

"The pizza wasn't good. The picture looks like it was good, but it wasn't. Crust was so crunchy it felt like I was eating plywood. Also, it appears that the pizza crust is a pre made shell, so a 20 dollar pizza isn't even made with fresh dough. Will not be returning."

"I have tried pizza all over the country. I grew up in Boston and now live in Chiacgo. We stopped in Utica for a night and ordered the upside-down with pepperoni and garlic. No exaggeration: this is one of the ten best pizzas I've ever had in my life. Absolutely astounding"

"Went in today for a couple slices. Haven’t had pizza in a while because of dietary restrictions but bit the bullet today and I’m glad I picked Joe’s. As good as it was when I was younger for sure. Upside down pizza is my favorite kind and Joe’s does it very well! Bummed Dave Portnoy didn’t come here when he went through Utica."
