John's - A Great Pizza Place! 9/15/2005

We went to John's directly after checking into our hotel on our first day in NYC. The pizzas are wonderful and the service was just as good. My wife and I debated on what size of pizza to order, and decided to just get the large. Good thing we did! The pizza was so good (& we were so hungry!) that there was only one slice left. The large was only $2 more, so go ahead and order it. The decor inside was incredible! This is one of the places we dined at that definitely warrants a return on our next trip. You will NOT be disappointed! Pros: Great Food, Inexpensive, Good Location more

Tourists, look elsewhere... 8/22/2005

NO garlic powder, are you kidding? A good friend of mine who used to live in NY came across a NY top 10 pizza joint list and I was intent to try some of the places I hadn't yet been to. This John's was ranked #7 but I seriously consider whether this place truly holds its own. They don't have garlic powder for their patrons to use, as garlic is a 'topping'. So instead you can get diced fresh garlic on your pizza, for a fee. Now I'm sure it probably tastes good, but in my opinion there are much better places serving a better 'raw' slice of pizza. Adding garlic powder has been a way to season without affecting texture, and I don't agree with this place's decision not to offer it. Tourists will find this palce good, but trust me, there are better options for you. Pros: thin crust goodness, casual environment Cons: No garlic powder more

Fantastic pizza 8/7/2005

Visited while on vacation and reading reviews. Went right at 7:45PM on a theater night and got right in. Great pizza. Noisy, but eh, it's a pizza place! Great pepperoni. We'll be back for sure. Pros: pizza, ambience, pepperoni Cons: can be crowded more

OK but worth the hype? 5/23/2005

great location near Times Square and the theaters, nice interior, not too loud. Certainly a step up from most pizza joints as far as atmosphere is concerned. The food is quite good but doesn't match up to the best places in NY. more

User review by laurierempp 5/19/2005

The food here is great, and the restuarant has an amazing atmosphere. There are only two downsides. 1.) They close fairly early so don't make this your place to eat after seeing a Broadway show at night and 2.) The service tends to be less than perfect. If you can deal with slightly rude waiters, the food is a definite must have. Pros: great food, fairly inexpensive, great atmosphere Cons: poor service more

THe pizza at John's is awesome, i am just amazed by the way they use the brick oven. Go there its awesome!! more

So Close to Sardi's, your pocketbook is so far. 4/26/2005

Steps away from the famous Sardi's but just not in the mood to dress up or the budget is slim, is a pizza with my name on it. In a quaint old church is gobs and gobs of great food, enough to share at a price (for 2) under $50, my idea of heaven. Pros: Great Price, Great Neighborhood, Great Food Cons: Noisy more

Great pizza in Times Square 4/25/2005

Easily my favorite pizzeria in all of Manhattan. Right across from the Majestic Theater, it doesn't stand out among all the other high-profile eatieries, but it's definitely worth checking out. The interior is interesting, especially the main dining hall. The service is always good, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. The thin, crispy crust is wonderful, and the toppings are just as good. It gets busy at lunchtime, so get there early or go late. Pros: Fantastic pizza, Good atmosphere, Location Cons: Busy at lunchtime, No slices more

Watch out for the waiter...!! 2/26/2005

The food was great, no doubt but the waitor had issues. First of all we had a party of 6, all of my friends got there food first and mine didnt come. I asked if it was coming and the waitor said""Oh that's right,sorry."" My friend and i were spliting it so we told him agian that we wanted regular raviolli that we would spilt.About 10 minutes later he came back with spinach raviolii...EWW! The waitor thought that we had said Spinach not spliting. 10 minutes later{20 minutes after my friends got there food} our right meal was served. Ther raviolli was one of the best iv'e ever tasted. So the food was exellente but if you are ordering make sure to speak clearly. Pros: FOOD Cons: Waitor, Bathroom more

You Know You Want To... 12/25/2004

A quick peek thru the windows confirms that despite being 'just' a pizzeria Johns is as they a classy joint. Once you step inside though you can be overwhelmed by how huge the place really is. The attentive waitresses only add to the excellent ambience. John's has a small menu of traditional Italian fare all of which is good. But you don't come to John's for the pasta, you came for the old school brick oven pizza and you won't be disappointed. Perfect crisp texture with just the right amount of sauce and cheese and add to that some tasty toppings, equals a dining experience you'll come back to again and again. Pros: excellent pizza, classy ambience, reasonable pricing more

Great Time 12/22/2004

This is a fun place to eat with a festive atmosphere, great decor, and oh by the way, pretty good food. The prices are also good, by NYC standards. The Chicken Parm and Baked Ziti were excellent and I wanted to swipe some pizza off the table next to me it looked so good. Get in early to beat the crowd. more

Chicken Parmesan 11/30/2004

I went here with my family for dinner expecting the usual great pizza. Once again, I was not disappointed. However, we also ordered the CHICKEN PARMESAN. I must admit, this was probably the BEST chicken parm I've had in a LONG time! Everyone knows how good the pizza is here but please, next time you go back to John's, order the Chicken Parmesan! more

What a find! 11/15/2004

I'm actually from NY but I currently live in CT. This past weekend my family (incl in-laws) came to the city for a show and dinner afterwards. I had never even heard John's until I went online to find a spot that would accom. a party of 16. It was rated well so we thought we would try it. WE LOVED IT! We had a reservation and we were seated right on time. The service was very good although we were warned that it could be slow. The pizza was delicious and the Calamari was to die for. Overall a definite 10. we plan on going there again & again. Pros: Great Food , Good service, Good prices more

Great pizza, slow service 6/15/2003

We arrived at John's on a Thursday evening at 7pm. The place didn't seem all that crowded, however, when we put in our name for seating, we were told they were all out of pagers, our wait would only be 15-20 minutes but to come back for a pager in 5 minutes and that if we didn't, we'd lose our place! WHAT?!?! We wait 40 minutes to be seated, and got a pager five minutes before we got seated! Fortunately, the food was excellent and the setting was interesting (you can watch the pizzas being made and put into the brick ovens) or I might not have been so generous with the review! Pros: good food, interesting setting Cons: poor paging setup, noisy more

Loved it! 5/7/2003

We, 2 people, just happened upon this place after seeing The Producers. Walked in and got on waiting list. We were told it would be 20 minutes, but it only took 5. We ordered a small, 6 slices, Bruschetta Pizza and Spinach Ravioli. MMMM! They were both wonderful. Also, we had the Tiramisu for dessert and loved it as well. Our waiter was busy but he took care of us. We were never just sitting there wondering if he as going to return. I also had a glass of the house wine, red. It was good as well. Next time I will order a half carafe ($11). Also, this building used to be a church and the stained glass windows are beautiful. Pros: Moderately priced, great food more

Wonderful Experience 12/15/2002

We stopped at Johns before going to the 3:00 PM Matinee on 12-15-02. When arrrived just before noon and we were told that the wait would be 20 minutes. We sat at the bar ordered drinks and were seated within 10 mnutes. We were a party of 9, with 4 kids. We had the Calinmari and salads for starters. Calimari was fresh, light, delicious. Salads will feed 2 per. Ordered 3 pies. I white 2 regular and they were awesome. White pie was a bit bland, but not worth compalining about. Ordered a 4th pie and as such managed to put away 30 slices for 9 people. The staff was attentive and very very pleasant. The prices were very reasonable. 4 pies, salads, appetizers and cocktails for $150.00, tip included. When we left, there was a huge wait, so we timed it right. Very Highly recommended Pros: Awesome pizza, Fantastic crust, Wonderful waitstaff Cons: smallish bathrooms, white pie was a bit b more

Great pizza, great location 11/30/2002

It's refreshing to be able to grab a group of people to see a show on Broadway and know that some of the best pizza I've encountered is an easy walk from any of the major attractions. I would not hesitate to recommend John's Pizzeria, and I'd find their prices quite affordable when you split a pizza with some friends. Overall a fine restaurant. Pros: Great location more

Great! 10/11/2002

I'm not a big fan or thin crust pizza, but I found this pizza to be excellent. I also had the baked ziti and that was pretty good too. The best part is the atmosphere. It looks much nicer on the inside and the wait staff are very helpful and quick. more
