Have given Joe's several opportunities to win me over, in the last three years.
At best, they've broke even a couple of times.
I flat refuse to get take out from them at this point, because they don't much care what goes on the pizzas. I'd like it if they cared as much as I did, since... I'm paying them to do so. "How about if I just take a minute, and pick the meat off your wife's half?" was the final straw for me getting take out there.
Dining in..... Always seems to be combat sports on TV.
And we've never gotten the wrong pizza at least. makes you wonder how they can get it right when you're sitting there, but not when you call it in....
DĂ©cor is really dark and dated, with the ghosts of a thousand sad old chain smokers, and faded beer signage as ambience in the bar half of the place.
Slightly better if you get a booth by the front window NOT in the bar half of the place.
Service hit and miss. inattentive to average.
If they weren't selling big, barely adequate pizzas for not much $$$, I'd not have gone more than once. As it is, I don't think I've been in so far this year, and am not feeling incomplete, as a result.

Joe's used to have great pizza, but it slowly got worse and worse. It's been awhile since I've been there and then a friend told me they were back on their game, so I thought I would give them a try.
I took a friend who recently moved to the area and tried to impress her with a good pizza, I failed, or should I say Joe's failed? It was one of the worst pizza's I've ever had. The crust tasted like left over crust (and if you've ever been in the pizza business, you know what I mean by this), there were huge bubbles all over the pizza (someone was to lazy to pop), and it tasted terrible.
I contacted my friend that had said they were serving up good pizza again and I was told, "You have to order a pizza during the week if you want a good one, weekend pizzas still stink."
I also hate to say it, but the server was bad too, our drinks were empty half way through the meal and she didn't ask if we needed more for quite some time. After dinner, I wanted to have a conversation with my friend that I hadn't seen in a long time, but then she became aware of the staff talking about us staying too long. It was a Sunday night and there was no one else seated in our section. Funny thing is, we are both really good tippers, she still got a decent tip, but imagine what she would have gotten had she been a good server and hadn't wanted us to leave so early.

Honestly, the pizza just isn't what it used to be. We have given them several chances to redeem themselves, but they just seem to be getting worse all the time. Sometimes the pizzas aren't even round anymore, it's like someone wasn't willing to even take the time to make it look like a pizza pie.
Sometimes there is hardly any cheese, the veggies can be hard and uncooked, the whole pizza will be hardly baked at times. It isn't that hard to get it right. What bothers me is they have a lot of competition coming to the area and I think they may be looking at losing a lot of business. If only you could get the standard of the pizza back up, it would make all the difference in the world. Perhaps the young employees could use a little supervision.
Be proud of what you serve and people will flock to you.

Ordered take out for the family. Delivery was an hour later than promised. Spent 73.00 on three pizzas, an order of bread sticks and stuffed jalapeño poppers. Two pizzas were over cooked, one pizza was under cooked, bread sticks were gooey on the inside and the poppers were awe full at best. Called to complain, the guy I talked to said they have new people. My family left my house and went to the Golden Arches because they were still hungry having not eaten much of the pizza.

When coming to town I’ve always have chosen Joes pizza. Been the best for years but...... something has changed and it’s the crust. Awful like cardboard. Super disappointing. I never care about the cost , just want a good pizza. With covid I expected a good dinner for my family and friends. We aren’t able to go to the restaurant. Trying to support businesses is getting difficult. I won’t be going anymore.

I called in a pizza for delivery tonight & was a little surprised at the price for a medium but was assured that it's worth the price. Gal told me 45 minutes to an hour wait. At an hour, I called back to make sure I hadn't missed the delivery driver since she hadn't taken my phone number so wouldn't have been able to reach me if I had. She apologized & said that he'd had 2 deliveries ahead of mine & that he was on his way to me now. I live 5 minutes away from the pizza shop. 20 minutes later he shows up and when I ask him if there's a coupon or discount for the hour & twenty minute wait he says 'I don't make the prices'. I take the pizza inside & it's nearly cold. The cheese has solidified and the crust is room temperature at best, and chewy. I called back to the pizza place & spoke with the same girl I had the first two times; I told her that I'm new to the area & love pizza and was disappointed in my experience tonight because the wait was so long & the pizza is cold but I wanted to give them a chance to fix it. She explained again that he had other deliveries & that's why it took so long and arrived cold. She offered to make me a new one but cautioned that it would be at least another hour long wait to get that one & didn't think that was a good option because I might just be disappointed again. She invited me to come pick up a fresh pizza tonight and said that was the best she could do. She did not give me any reassurances that this wasn't a typical experience when ordering from them. The quality of the pizza was poor too, the toppings including the cheese didn't cover the pizza but looked very sloppy & quick. Canned diced mushrooms and chewy crust. I will not be eating at or from Joe's again.

The pizza was good but the crust had a cardboard texture. The atmosphere was nice as well; will go back when in town again.

My husband and I visit Joe's frequently. Most of the food is pretty great. We enjoy the staff and service sitting at the bar much better than when we sit at a table. The wait staff could be better. We find ourselves waiting longer and table service isn't as good. We are always welcomed by the staff that knows us and treated wonderfully.

Step in the door and decide family dinning or bar setting. Either will provide a great experience.
While waiting for your food enjoy the wall decorations with some Michigan sons and blasts from the past.
Enjoy. ...

I am writing this review now after our 3rd. straight bad service from this place. The first time was last summer when we ordered 2 deluxe subs for delivery and they entered 2 deluxe pizza subs with pizza sauce on them when I called back to complain all they did was say that mistakes happen. Then about 1 month ago we called in an order and was told 45 mins. to 1 hour for delivery. Had to call back 2 hours later to check and got told they got busy and somehow our order got shuffled out of order and when we did get our food we were missing one of our subs and the driver had to go back and get it. Again no apology or any kind of adjustment to our bill. Finally last night (12-12-14) we ordered 2 deluxe subs and received 2 deluxe pizza subs in error and again no effort was made to correct the mistake. I am all for supporting local business but with customer service like that I won't to it. I will find another local establishment to send my business to.
