Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Love the family restaurant. We enjoy it everytime we come. The environment is friendly and welcoming. Food is great and the service is great. Always satisfied and never leaving hungry. Coming back very soon.

I would of liked to try something! But was told at 8:50 they would not take me order because they close at 9! Bad for biz if u ask me.... I'm in the business and my manager would never turn away a CUSTOMER before closing!
(1)Carla H.
expensive, tastes like pizza hut...

A total suck. Went there on a Saturday evening for an engagement party. They set us up in the back room which seems to be their "banquet" area. It was a 97 degree day, and there was NO AC in this room. One oscillating fan to cool 35 people. We requested them twice to help the situation and were ignored. Asking a third time, they finally moved us into the air conditioned part of the restaurant where there was more than enough seating. They didn't assign waitresses exclusively to us, so it was a long wait for food and drinks. Not to mention their itty bitty bar with no tender. Only floating waitresses that, if you're lucky enough to flag one down, will make you a quick drink. I was not impressed with the pizza AT ALL. Cardboard crust and the mozzarella cheese not completely melted. Gross.

Went here with a group of new coworkers for lunch to celebrate our supervisor's birthday. There were about 12 of us total and we called a few days ahead to make sure they could accomodate us. When we arrived however the very pregnant hostess did not know what we were taking about. She spoke with a manager I presume and they began to clean and push some tables together for us. Not a good sign already. Our server was just as unsure of herself when taking our order and slow to bring out our food. I ordered a turkey burger with sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were absolutely delicious but that turkey burger had to be the worst I ever tasted. It was extremely burnt with no seasoning. I'd come back just to try the pizza because that's what this establishment is known for but i'm not going out of my way

I've had their food two or three times. I've experienced prompt delivery and everything appeared fresh. The food is tasteful enough but I've had better.
(3)Beth K.
The food is just eh..service is great because of the waitresses. I like the ceiling, pretty colorful glass. I love the tiffany style lights! I like the thick crust pizza with mushrooms and the French fries are cooked well. Went as a teen and now go regularly, for the drinks and the friends made there. But some of the people behind the scene's are sneaky and nasty. I go to see friends but leave early to go elsewhere for better food and drinks. Basically, the waitresses and décor are the best thing about the place.

Best pizza I've had near montgomery county

Worse then supermarket pizza!!! Finally back in the old neighborhood after 20 years so had to go back to the place I must have eaten 100 pies in the 70-80's. I was surprised to see the same decor from 1980. So I was gleefully awaiting to sink my teeth into the pizza I remembered but OMG what happened? These owners should be banned from ever making a pizza again! Round cardboard, tasteless sauce and supermarket generic cheese is the only way to describe it! Did the original owners die and take the recipe with them to the grave? Stay away if you don't want to shatter memories from your youth!
(1)Patrick G.
PROS: Solid, but not great pizza. Not on the Santuccis or Tacconelli's level just yet. Reasonably priced. Decent sandwiches and wings. CONS: Eat-in parking not too good. Right next to a Rite Aid.
(3)Rose V.
Just ordered from this place and had the food delivered. We got buffalo wings, tenders, and a deluxe pizza. Pizza was soggy at the bottom and wasn't as great as everything say it is. Delivery was fast, wings/tenders were good, not worth my $30, pizza wasn't great, i dont like it or hat it but I'm not ordering from this place again.
(2)Kelly C.
Wow, I am shocked this place has such bad reviews!! I ate here over the weekend and my experience was pretty good. I had a thin crust pizza and a caesar salad, both were pretty tasty. There was really nothing special about the salad, but the thin crust pizza was really good! Our waitress was really nice and I liked the decor, I would go back.
(3)Jill M.
This place used to have great pizza growing up 20 years ago. Today the pizza tastes like cardboard. Too bad the pizza is terrible as the restaurant is in a good location, have room to handle big parties, and serve alcohol.
(2)Robin R.
Hadn't been to Joseph's pizza in awhile, and I wasn't disappointed. The steak sandwich and fries were just like I remembered them - cooked to perfection and the pizza was superb! Whenever I come back in town, I'm heading for Joseph's.
(5)Mandy H.
I liked Joseph's. I was a little nervous by all the bad reviews, but I enjoyed my meal. I had the 10" BBQ chicken pizza on wheat dough, which was nice and thin and crunchy. The french fries were the pretty generic frozen variety, but they cooked them the right way, so it was good to me. My friend had the grilled chicken sandwich and seemed to enjoy that as well. Joseph's is pretty close to where I work, so I will definitely return when I want to sit down for lunch with waiter service and have something casual to eat.
(4)Gina M.
Well, I would definitely come back here. If you're going off decor, the place is awful. The pictures of people no one knows who they are. Tacky wallpaper. The whole bit. The service however was fantastic. Pam was a great waitress who really made it seem like she cared about our experience. We got mozzarella sticks and my boyfriend wanted chicken fingers before the meal. Both were delicious but you cannot really mess that stuff up. The boyfriend got a cheesesteak with bacon on it and loved it. He Ate every last bite. I ordered the chicken farfalle. They accidentally brought me over a turkey plate. After telling them that's not what I ordered, Pam came over and apologized. She said she hit the wrong button and she was very sorry. The chicken farfalle was extremely heavy. It as good, kinda bland, but still good. I probably won't get it again though. Overall, not a bad place. We'll be here again.
(4)Maureen M.
Surprised by all the negative reviews. Joseph's has been around forever and brings back fond memories of my childhood. We now go every once in a while and it's still a decent place to eat. Food is good and service is alright. We'll be back.
(3)Don M.
Good Pizza - and a great old atmosphere. Just about the only true pizza place in the area.. high-back booths.. great place to bring kids.. glad they are so close to where I live!
(5)Marty D.
Quality of food C+ Service D Decor A (no wait,, it's not 1970 so make that E) Overall value for price paid D For a basic pizza joint, these people stopped giving a shit a long time ago. It's the typical make money and provide the minimum of everything mentality. A good example, try to fit four heavy hitters in a tiny booth... can you not see that I'm a big boy? Save your money and order take out.....better yet, learn how to cook...
(2)Joe M.
First off, I will say this. I like the pizza here. But years ago, I used to LOVE this pizza. It hasn't been the best the last few times I've been there. Not terrible, but definitely not as good as they once were. But what has killed this place for me is the horrible wait staff. My wife and I walked into a mostly empty restaurant, yet waited almost 15 minutes for someone to greet us. After finally getting a seat, we had to wait nearly 20 minutes just to get drinks, and were then informed that the woman getting our drinks wasn't our server. We then had to Wait another 15 minutes just to find out who our waitress was. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident and we have had similar experiences the last few times we had come here. Whomever is in charge of the wait staff should be immediately fired. I had been coming to this place for over 10 years. But after my last 4+ experience there, I don't expect to come back until I hear they've made some major changes to the way they run this place.
(2)K F.
Joseph's is listed as a pizza shop, but it's much more than that, with a bit more expanded restaurant fare. Prices are competitive, and the food is usually always good. A friendly staff, and dining room ceiling without a wait usually.
(4)Ezra S.
Consistently below average pizza, questiionable prices, very small menu selection, fast delivery. Decent location with off street parking, eat in area has a great ambience to it, I would go there only if your chooses are limited.

This place used to be good. USED TO. The only reason my family went in there the last few times in the past year was because it's close, you can get pizza AND beer in the same place. The only good thing at this place is the Caesar salad, especially if you like anchovies in it (optional). At least it used to be. Now I'm not sure, but I believe they hand out packets of Ken's Steakhouse dressing for salads, but the Caesar might be the exception. The pizza sucks. (crappy crust, crappy flavor, crappy cheese) The sandwiches suck. (Rolls are too dense and chewy! My jaw was hurting.) Everything about most of their food was unappealing... The ambiance sucks. (The old wooden carved embellishments and benches are awesome, and even the stained glass pane on the ceiling, but the carpet is disgusting, the servers are like vacant zombies that have been so drained of soul that they wouldn't even try to eat brains if it was served to them, and something about the black & white striped seats with red makes me feel like I'm in a funhouse that isn't even fun. Also if you do decide to eat here, make sure you order EVERYTHING the first time your server shows up at your table, including condiments, napkins, etc, because you will never see her again. Actually, you should also order the check while you're at it too, because I can tell you it's no fun waiting 15 minutes for a check or your receipt when all you want to do is GTFO of there. We gave the place at least 3 try agains just to be sure, and the consensus is that we will never go back again. The price was TOTALLY not worth it either...in fact, I felt robbed. They should be paying ME to eat their crappy food. If you're looking for good pizza, go to Vincent's (consistently good) or even Old London (some nights are better than others). And if you just want beer, there are quite a few bars in walking distance. And if you're like me and you want to take your screaming brats out to eat so they will shutup and you can have a beer....well, I would just go to the Austrian Village down the street. They have a good selection, and plenty of room for kids and the service is always satisfactory.

The best pizza I've ever had. Atmosphere, service, limited menu and decor matter not when the pizza is this drop-dead good. The thin crust margherita is as good as pizza gets. Crunchy, not too cheesy, fresh ingredients, perfect sauces. Don't call for delivery or take it to go; these pizzas are meant to be savored on sight. Only Tacconelli's rivals Joseph's for Philadelphia pizza, but Joseph is king.
(5)Darcy G.
Been around for ions, and the decor has not changed. Think dark-wood shriners lodge mixed with tall pews as booths. Went there with my grandparents 30 years ago and it was exactly the same. Exact for the reputation. The soup of the day was broccoli cheese. It was tan, thick and had no sign of broccoli. They have a cheesesteak and a "Philly" cheesesteak on the menu. I asked what the difference was. The waitress said the Philly one had whiz and fried onions. I barely saw any cheese whiz and the ubiquitous grilled onions were translucent without any color. William Penn should come over and smack them upside the head with it.
(2)Gerald F.
Great family pizza place. Benn here since I was 10. A long time ago. Thick cheesy pizza.
(4)Gina G.
Everyone was really looking forward to Joseph's Pizza! We drove out of our way to bring home 2 pizzas...open the box and no cheese on the pizza??? Guest are hungry, it is late, too much of a inconvenience to drive back... we ate the circle of dough. I decided to call and state I was disappointed. The girl thought we said "no cheese." They should consider getting a computer system that stores a few previous orders, we are regular eat-in/take-out customers, they could then see our order is always the same (never did we order no cheese in the past). They said we should have called prior because we would have needed to return the 2 pizza's back to them first. They could have been a little more apologetic. And even If that was suppose to be a tomato pie then that had to be the worse.. very little sauce, it felt like eating plain bread. Correction.. the dog enjoyed it.
(2)Jessica S.
Okay pizza, fries, cheesesteaks. Cheesesteak hoagie good. Good place to bring a sports team after a win. Vincent's pizza is better. Old London better for most things but not a fan of their pizza, but Joseph's has more of a restaurant setting than the other two.
(3)Michael F.
I've been here twice and it was pretty bad both times. Last time: I had to wait 5+ minutes in a 1/2 empty restaurant to be sat. *I was served bottled beer that was frozen solid *When I brought this to the server's attention she said: yeah that happens sometimes *The pizza had this weird mushy,grainy mouth feel. No idea if it was undercooked or what Just bad news
(2)Kev M.
Reasonably priced pie in a family friendly sit-down pizza place. Not the NYC Brooklyn-style I ache for, but a good sized tasty pie. Friendly service. Close to the nearby hospital if you need to break out of that place for a bite when visiting.
(3)Tom C.
I've heard so much good about this place that I will go back, but my experience was less than stellar. How was the food you ask? Well, I couldn't tell you. I was sat at a table and never greeted! I'm talking 10minutes of solitude people. In certain situations I'll grant some leeway in a server not greeting a table within the first 2 minutes...stuck with obnoxious guest, cut off a finger, just won the lottery. But beyond that there is no reason not to even stop by and acknowledge your new guests presence. Now, if you are reading this and wait tables, but think that is ridiculous than you are a bad waiter and I could teach you much grasshopper. Anyway, the time alone allowed me to do some soul searching and realize I was in the mood for something more than what was offered on their limited menu. I walked in hoping for more Italian variety and found a straight forward pizza joint, so instead of searching out a server, I just got up and went to Roman Delight. So why 2 stars, well the place was clean and cozy and the food did smell good...I will give this place another chance, but not anytime soon.
(2)Steve M.
Went with colleagues for lunch here. Ordered the famous Philly steak and it wasn't that famous. The bread was too soft and the beef needed a bit more seasoning like salt and pepper would have help a little.
(2)mariel g.
This is some good pizza.. i moved away from this area and i still go there drive the 20 mins for some pizza. I love the wings too .. dry and they give you the sauce on the side so its always crispy. This place is packed on a fri or sat night though and they close pretty early for a pizza place .. but i still love it.. cant miss the glowing pizza sign in the front of the bldg
(4)Michelle N.
THIS PIZZA SUCKS BALLS. Sauce sucks, bullshit cheap cheese and the crust was flavorless crap. Ellios pizza tastes better. Seriously.
(1)Eugene C.
Time for an overhaul. I went there last week with another couple and we were seated in a timely manner. After we were seated we waited 10-15 minutes for a waitress to greet us and offer the drinks. The food was passable where in a bind I'd go back again, but if I'm planning to go out to dinner I wouldn't even think of it. Prices are reasonable. I left there embarrassed because I suggested we go there. I'm reading reviews where people say Joseph's has the best pizza or best cheese steaks. If you really feel this way please live a little and try other places. Their pizza is nothing special at all and their cheese steaks are a typical steak sandwich you get at over 500 places in Philadelphia.
(2)Kelly S.
Ah, Joseph's. This place was a big hangout for people from my high school, so I spent many an hour hanging out here and enjoying their really good pizza. It's actually a pretty nice sit-down restaurant and not just a pizza joint, so it's a good place to take family and friends if you want to go out to eat. Just be prepared to see lots of St. Basil's girls there if it's a weekend or if it's after school or especially if it's after one of their theater productions. Everything on the menu was pretty good, if memory serves, but the pizza was the main attraction. Cheesy, tomato-y, crusty goodness. My mouth is watering just thinking about this place. Maybe I'll take a ride up that way this weekend, now that I'm thinking about it. Joseph's pizza = always yummy.
(4)Al M.
If you like cardboard flavored pizza, vacant servers, and twin peaks decor, this is the place for you! I don't understand how another reviewer could even use Tacconellis and Joseph's in the same sentence, unless it was to describe polar opposites. That person must have completely burnt off their tastebuds on the overly hot pizza sauce. I grew up around the area and remember Joseph's certainly having the best pizza around. But I moved away, came back years later, went to what I thought was Joseph's, but discovered that this is either the Twilight Zone or Bizzarro Land. The pizza is awful. Another reviewer mentioned that Ellios frozen pizza was better-- and that is exactly what I thought to myself last time I ate there. It's close to home, serves pizza and beer and was a place to grab a quick bite and keep the kids happy. The kids love Pizza in general, but here, even when hungry, they won't finish all of it. The crust is bland, inconsistent and almost has a sourdough taste which is not pleasant. Not quite neopolitan, not quite pan-- what is it??? The sauce is flavorless and forgettable, if it weren't for the fact that it comes nuclear hot while the cheese is somewhat cool. Wrong temp cooking maybe? Try telling your hungry toddlers not to eat the pizza for fifteen minutes. The cheese is equally disappointing. Best part of the pizza with no flavor. Luckily they have garlic, oregano, parmesan, etc. at the table so you can put some flavor on it in order to get it down. What a shame for a hometown establishment! The servers are, well, "untrained." Inattentive, space cadets. I could go on, but I won't. The food speaks loud enough for the whole establishment. Maybe if they fed the servers some of the pizza, they'd snap out of it. If you must eat here, chicken cheesteaks are a safe bet. Caesar salad is ok. But who goes to a pizza place not wanting to try the pizza? I hope someone else buys the place, redecorates, and brings a real pizza back. I have been here numerous times just hoping it would get better, but no. Go a few blocks in any direction for better pizza.
