Service is the best. We don't get here very often, but they remember us and what we like to drink every time we return. We feel like family.

I've been a loyal customer here over 10 years. Have catered from them every year for Christmas. This year they put their catering deadline was today the 17th. No other stipulations. Today I call to place my order and they say they can only cater like 4 things and all have to be cold. They were unable to accommodate our family despite our many years of buisness. We will gladly take our buisness and loyalty elsewhere.

I am a fan of this place. I love the bread and mozzarella bites. My friend always orders a pizza to take home. I have only ever had their pasta dishes. Apparently the Chicken Tetrazzini is is amazing, it has mushrooms so a hard no for me. Local favorite.

I've had up's and downs with this Papa Joe's but my last experience brought it full circle back to how amazing they used to be (before they made everything a la cart). I have always gotten the chicken tetrazzini. The past few times it tasted like boiled chicken and wasn't great. It had been maybe 2 years and I finally went back for a family party. The chicken was fantastic, just like old times. I had to stop myself from eating too much because the portions are huge!!! And the bread!! Their service is always top notch. It's like getting service from your aunt that you're visiting out of town. I

I had a funeral luncheon here a few years ago and everything was excellent. Recently I catered food for a graduation party. Food arrived a little EARLY (pleasant surprise) and piping hot. I was disappointed that the Vesuvio Potatoes I ordered were in a brown gravy, I expected olive oil and Italian spices. I called the next day and was told that their Vesuvio recipe is a rustic brown and garlic, although they were good, when I placed the order I was not told there were 2 types, nor was a choice shown on the catering sheet I received. They asked what they could do, I told them I wanted left overs

Nice, quiet, comfortable clean restaurant. Great food at very reasonable prices. The service was above average. Arrived later than expected for reservation due to delay of previous engagement. Called ahead and hostess was very understanding and accommodating. Even allowed me add to our original guest res. Would definitely recommend.

Easy Parking, cozy comfortable seating.
Very friendly and efficient staff!
My Chicken Limone for $9.99 was spot on!!
Bread is made in house which we ate several helpings of.
Bang for the buck is here at Papa Joe's!

So after reading reviews on The Original Papa Joe's I thought I would give it a try. Now almost every review I read was for dinning in and that might have been the issue. I looked up there menu on There wedsite and placed my order. " I'll get back to that" Was greeted nice on the phone Ordered Create your pasta Capellini and vodka sauce, 2 meat balls, garlic bread, Mozzarella bites, soup, and tiramisu, I was told 30mins if I pick up or 40mins if I have them deliver. I normally just pick it up but today I said ok deliver it. 1st issue, didn't get my food till 1hr and 10mins later after I had to
