“ I've been traveling between Australia, Europe and America and came back to Joey's because my brother says let's get some pizza. He suggested another pizza place but I said if I'm going to have pizza here in Santa Rosa, it's gonna be at Joey's!! So I went and got it and of course it did not disappoint. It was absolutely beautiful and delicious. ”
“ The pizza here is pretty good and the toppings are always very fresh (we order vegetarian). I think they could make some improvements to make it more attractive to stay at the restaurant but it's generally more of a grab and go spot for such a large space. ”
“ Has no one told you about this place yet? It's great. Beautiful and spacious Victorian setting heavy with the dark varnished woods, relatively quiet and close enough to a dive if you want cocktails. This place serves the finest pizza one the Ave, and quite possibly all of Santa Rosa. I just learned they make their slices to order, so you basically get a personal pizza, a sweet little triangle. Juicy slices of pizza. Thin New York pizza. Not chewy, a little chew perhaps, but not doughy at all. Cheese cakes and other fun things are also available. Give it a chance and it will bring you back. Pizza mode activated. ”
“ Came here for a late dinner. What an interesting place! It's in the top floor of an old Victorian house. There weren't a whole lot of people there that night. We went into a back room that was dark (needed more light). Weird glare-y overhead light. Two people were playing some kind of board game in this area, but no one else but us were there. Interesting spooky old house vibe. We each had a slice of the Joey's Original Pizza and a house salad. The pizza was pretty good-sized, and was pretty tasty. The crust was tasty, and chewy. The house salads were a bit lacking in freshness. The lettuce was pretty wilty. Good toppings on it though (olives, mushrooms, cucumber, tomatoes). It was a good dinner, but the surroundings were a little odd! ”
“ Ordered the Irishman, and I must admit the flavor was really good. I showed up early to pick up the pizza and was told kindly my first pizza was a little burnt, so they made a new one. And to my surprise, he came out with two pizzas. One was cooked to perfection, and the other was slightly overcooked. Both pizzas tasted awesome, and I thought it was pretty cool he gave me both pizzas rather than waste one and throw it away. Also, I was still out of there within the 35 minutes they had told me over the phone. ”
“ I didn't know this place existed until yesterday when I wanted to order pizza from DoorDash. I don't super like the pizza parlors in my side of town and I saw "Joey's," and I thought, "Well it can't get any worse than what I know. So I ordered. Bad news first: The mozzarella sticks are a hard no. Good news: Everything on the pizza I had ordered tasted so fresh and wonderful. The mushrooms, the bell pepper, the salami, even the black olives. The cheese ratio was on point. The pizza crust was to perfection. And keep, in mind, this is delivery, so I give excuses for that. But if that pizza could taste that could by delivery, I can only imagine how it tastes in house. Plus I'm the only pizza lover in my family of three, and the other two really liked that pizza. ”
“ Service - great service. Granted we were the only patrons dining in but the lady was so pleasant and personable. She was very attentive as well. Ambiance- there is a lot to say about the inside of the restaurant. It could be quaint inside but with everything going on in this world it could be the reason Food - we ordered the Da Big Joeys pizza which was tasty and quite flavorful. It wasn't very greasy, and the crust was crispy. ”
