Without a doubt the best pizza in Englewood. Topping piled high and very good crust. We usually get delivery due to the service time in the restaurant being a little long and it can be quite loud when busy.

If you ever go to this place, do not order their turkey dinner! It had obviously been frozen, and for a very long time. The mashed potatoes were grayish brown, the gravy had coagulated and separated, the stuffing was spongy, the vegies were boiled to death and the whole meal was served in a puddle of water. After reading the prior reviews, we were obviously disgusted and disappointed that a place could do such a poor job. Maybe only the sandwiches and pizza get made on a regular basis.

My son and I found JJ's whilst staying on Rotonda in September. The staff were great, food and beer excellent and at the right price! I miss our early evening 3 quick beers and we just don't do it like that in the UK - sadly !

We live in the are for a few months every year. Thought we'd try it when the first set of grandkids were down. What a find!!!! Suggest going early for little ones so wait isn't long. Food was delicious. Buffalo chicken pizza was outstanding as were the onion rings and the kids' meals. The Philly Cheese steak was to die for. We've gone back 4 times since and will make a trip there (at least one!) before we head back up north. What a welcome add to the Englewood area!

Great family-owned restaurant. Pizza is LOADED with lots of goodies on top. Definitely the best pizza in area. Other menu offerings are also good. All portions are huge so you can either share or have leftovers for lunch. Food is definitely above average. Prices are moderate. Service was friendly and quick. It's a weekly favorite!

While the food is delicious, the service leaves much to be desired. The restaurant has no designated waiting area, so you're left standing in the doorway waiting for someone to acknowledge and seat you. Once we were seated, our pizza took over an hour to come out and there is no free bread, etc to compensate for the long cook time. The atmosphere is very cramped and noisy. The pizza is fantastic, as are many of the other dishes. Hopefully these are only growing pains for a brand new restaurant, but we've decided that this will be a "delivery-only" option, as the experience was miserable.

My family and I ate here and found the portions to be very large. We had the chicken wings to start with and they were very tasty. The Chicken Phillies were quite delicious and very filling served with chips. The Cheeseburgers were quite large and tasty with all the fixings we ended up taking some home. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends. We look forward to eating there again. Prices are very reasonable.

My neighbor opened this restaurant the first week of Dec 09, and I felt I should check it out. It turned out great; my beer battered fish was way bigger than the toasted bun it was served on, and my partner's reuben was good too. His onion rings were really impressive, freshly sliced and hot out of the fryer. BTW, did I mention the $1 drafts before 6pm? And nearly everything on the menu was $10 or less. I was disappointed the pizzas weren't available (the oven had problems; opening week glitches), but I will be back to try those at a later date. I rarely eat out because I am so often let down by the quality of the food I get, but if they maintain the quality I experienced today at lunch, this will become a favorite restaurant of mine.
