Joe’s Italian Kitchen

"How to find: HW 35 exit Grand Avenue Parkway turn right on Central Commerce. Located in corner of buildings. *Pros: Good food. Friendly service. *Cons: limited car parking for take-out. Almost no parking during lunchtime or dinner. Small dine in seating. *Pricing: slightly expensive Overall: Good"

"The food was Yummy, and the sauce had good flavor. The pizza was crust nice. My only complaint was that there was a smell in the place(I think it came from the bar next door)"

"I love the drive through pick up. The food is really good quality. It looks like an old Starbucks from the outside, but if you haven't given it a try, I highly recommend it. I got a to-go order, and the portions were very generous. Great leftovers that reheat well. It is a 16 minute drive, and we usually pick places closer, but the food is worth it. I'll definitely go back."

"The customer service and the food are phenomenal. I have been there maybe 10 times now in the past 2 months and have been received with top notch h customer service every time I am there. I stick to my margarita pizza no sauce and add pepperoni and it is always perfect. I’ve tried a couple of other dishes and they have been very good as well. Over all a great atmosphere paired with great food I can’t seem to stay away from since I’ve found this spot."

"Decided to go to Joe's based solely on the reviews that we read on Google. This is where things are misleading. We read a review that this place reminded them of an old school Italian joint... Well, I don't know how many old school Italian joints you've ever eaten at, but this definitely does not look like an old school Italian joint. Another review said that the service here was incredible.. unfortunately this could be no further from the truth. I got to admit that I was super pumped up upon walking into this place and seeing so many people in line to get takeout orders. I felt like this was a very good sign on a full moon night. We were seated and I think after that we saw our waitress 3-4 more times. She took our drink order, then she took our food order, asked us if we needed a box to go and then that we could pay at the counter. So that right there just kind of knocked down the whole service thing. Food came out and everything looked incredible. Everything was nice and hot and looked to be prepared fresh. The fried raviolis and marinara were very tasty, the garlic bread with cheese was your old school hoagie roll with cheese on top and throwing in the pizza oven which is very dear and near to my heart. I had the pasta sampler, My wife had lasagna. And we were going to share a shrimp scampi over linguini. The tomato dishes were very tart and sweet at the same time. I honestly felt that the amount of mozzarella cheese on top of everything, just kind of turned it all into one big lump of cheesy. The flavors never really were showcased by their own. The lasagna just kind of tasted like a sweet tart tomato sauce covered in cheese. The manicotti felt prey to the same thing, the ricotta cheese could barely stand out under the blanket of molten mozzarella. This is where it got weird. The menu stated that the shrimp scampi was a lemon wine sauce, but the dish that I got was a white cream with lemon. When I mean cream I mean heavy cream. This was more of an Americanized Alfredo sauce. I tried to explain to one of the other waitresses that I did not expect this and this was not how it was spelled out on the menu. She said that this was their style. I explained again that nowhere in the description of the dish does it say cream or creamy. I was fortunate enough that she took this dish off my bill, due to the nature that it was very misleading in the menu description. The bottom line is this. If you like everything covered in molten cheese and you like your cheese with more cheese on top of it with a little bit of a sprinkle of sweet tartness from their marinara then go ahead and eat at Joe's."
