We often do carryout or delivery from Brooklyn Joe's. I would highly recommend to cook the pizza"extra crispy", especially for takeout. Their New Yorker pizza is wonderful with pepperoni, meatballs, sausage, ham, and a wide variety of vegetables. They are very generous with their toppings! I have tried a few of their entrees over time, and would recommend sticking with pizza. I would also skip their breadsticks, they aren't the best.
Tip: Check online for coupons, because they almost always offer a 15% off coupon. -

My fiance and I have been trying pizza for the last year here in Alpharetta. We moved from New York a year ago and sometimes crave pizza from home. We were really excited to try their pizza, however we were disappointed in our sicilian pie that we had delivered from Brooklyn Joe's. We were really rooting for your guys after hearing such good reviews.
Their phone service was really great. We even got pointers on what to order from the menu that would travel well. My fiance and I promised to give them an extra star just because they informed us before hand that their fried zucchini sticks wouldn't be a good choice for takeout. Saved us $7 bucks!
As for the pizza, the sauce was too acidic and the crust lacked everything. Oh no :( The cheese didn't hold together and it was impossible to eat. We only ate one slice each. -

My wife and I live right around the corner from this place. I truly struggle with these guys. One day the food is awesome, and the next day it is just OK. The service is sub par and they take over an hour to normally deliver food if you order it.
Bright side:
They do have good pizza most of the time. My wife loves the white pizza.
Meatball Sub is hit or miss but normally it is really good. one of the better ones ii have had.
Chicken Salad Wrap is also good. I know that this sounds pretty crazy, but it is truly good.
All and all this place is a good pizza joint and you get what you expect. -

I am basing my review of 5 stars on only two things: service & Tomato Basil Soup. I know, I'll definitely have to go again so that I can make a more well rounded opinion but to me the Tomato Basil was great and an unexpected surprise to find it at a pizza place. The waiter was also very courteous and kept my drink filled which is always nice, especially since sometimes when you dine alone it seems as though the table gets neglected (which I'm sure is because it's not as big of a tip). So so far so good!

Review from Allyson R.
Alpharetta, GA
I was looking for a new pizza place near my near place, and I found Brooklyn Joes. Located in the Super Target shopping center on Alpharetta Highway and Webb Rd, it is easy to spot. I had passed by it many time, but never had the chance to dine there before.
Fast forward to tonight. I ordered delivery, estimated delivery time 1 hour....real life delivery time, 31 minutes. I ordered just a cheese pizza, and it looked like the NYC style pizza that I know well, and love.
I was happy with my first bite. The sauce is a bit tangy, not too sweet, which I like. The cheese tasted good and I liked the perfectly cooked thin crust. I did feel like their crust was maybe lacking a little something, but it did remind me of a lot of NYC pies I have indulged in.
$17 for a large pizza and delivery, sold. Now that I live down the street I will definitely be ordering from here more often. -

This is a great little spot. They have your typical pizza, calzones, pasta and sandwiches. The pizza is really good but not great. They are always very quick with pick-up orders, however, dining in can sometimes be a pain.
The restaurant is not that big and often gets crowded with large parties after sporting events at North Park and the local schools. Since there is no real entrance or waiting area the restaurant gets jam packed inside, however, they do have shops next to them so if you alright with standing outside, there is plenty of room to do that.
The service has been friendly and consistently good but I just can't rate the food at anything above average. Maybe I am a pizza snob, who knows?
I like Brooklyn Joe's as a close to home pizza joint. -

New pizza joint, just opened next to the fancy new Target in Milton. I was surprised to see a pretty big crowd. By the time I left for lunch (on a rainy day) there was a line forming. You don't see much of this anymore in Alpharetta.
Inside, this place is like most pizzerias around here. TVs everywhere, pictures of New York's landmarks, a few video games, etc. Service was a little slow and disorganized. But they made up for it with quick order turnaround time from the kitchen.
Today I kept it simple... two slices of pizza with Italian sausage. The pizza was pretty good. The thin crust was delicious, but the bottom was a bit soggy and greasy. But the Italian sausage was terrific.
The rest of the menu contains subs, pastas and a lot of appetizers. There is enough available to make it worth coming back. But otherwise it is pretty typical for these parts. And like I've mentioned on my other reviews, there are probably six or eight places just like this within a few miles. -

I read the other reviews and I am so sorry you guys have had such a sucky experience. Even if a patron's opinion of an establishment's food is negative, with great service, it really helps the food to go down!
ON TO MY REVIEW:
We had it delivered, so can't comment on the wait staff, but the delivery guy was great, very polite, and all smiles. The order was placed via phone at 8 pm on Friday night (3/13) and Chris, who answered the phone, did all the right things ... he was attentive, even though I could hear the phone ringing in the background he didn't say "hold on for a minute", every question I asked he answered or immediately found out the answer.
Delivery time was stated between 45 minutes to an hour, the hot food was delivered within 30 minutes!!
Ok, here is the food critique:
1 small House Salad w/ extra gorgonzola and feta cheeses
1 small Greek Salad w/ extra feta cheese and dressing
- WOW, Hubby's first comment was is this the small salad? Yep! We both finished our salads with absolutely nothing left but our fork!!
1 Chicken Salad Wrap
1 Mama's Lasagna
- Both tasted awesome and were very delectable. I loved them. The lasagna and sauce were great, cheesy, mm-mm very very good. The chicken salad wrap was just as good too. Shredded chicken and seasonings tasted well, as did the wrap itself. Servings just as the salads were big portions, we both had ample for lunch the next day as the small salads were filling. Oh, and the lasagna came with a bread stick coated with garlic and butter that I loved, as I am such a bread girl.
4 stars up to this point but I had to give it 5 stars, rating an establishment isn't always about the taste of the food, it also includes the service, ambiance, portion size, price, and efficiency. On a Friday the 13th, 8 pm, raining, two hours into being hungry, to have some great food delivered within 30 mins, $30.00 for two people - WOW. 5 STARS BABY!!!!!! -

This was my favorite pizza in Milton/Alpharetta until I tried Mama's last week, but I'll still order from Brooklyn Joe's for their food or if I need to have pizza delivered. It is NY style pizza, but something's missing in the crust, it's still pretty good though and I've found it's better if you order it well done. Their Sicilian pizza is pretty good, the taste is right but the crust is thinner than what I'm used to. I guess that makes it reduced calorie, so that's a positive ;)
Everything else I've tried has been very good, the only thing I wasn't impressed with were the mozzarella sticks. They tasted fine, they're a pretty standard frozen appetizer, I guess I was just expecting a few more of them for the price especially when everything else on the menu is such a good size for a small price.
The Greek salad is HUGE and loaded with toppings, and they don't skimp on the calamata olives - I hate it when I get a huge salad with 3 little olives! The fried zuchini and fried calimari apps are also pretty big and not very expensive. I've also had the chicken parm sub, the stromboli, the calzone, and chicken wings and they've all been good.
BTW their delivery is pretty quick, I'm sure it's because I live 5 mins away, but they usually say 45+ mins and they show up in less than 30. -

I went there this weekend with my girlfriend. What a giant mistake.
The location and layout of the restaurant is decent. I ordered the lunch special, which was a house salad, pizza with 1 topping (I picked chicken) and a fountain drink. She ordered a calzone.
The house salad was at best, mediocre. I found multiple pieces of old iceberg lettuce in it, turning a dark brown. The chicken was dry and rubbery. It tasted like high quality dog food. The cheese was terrible, especially since it was soaked in grease. She said she thought the calzone was good, but she agreed my pizza was terrible, and when a pizza joint can't do pizza right, you know you've got a problem.
Terrible food not withstanding, our waitress was a total ditz. First and foremost, it took about 30 minutes for them to make a calzone and 1 slice of pizza. People who came in after us had their food before us. I saw the "chef" sprinkling the chicken on my pizza WITH HIS BARE HANDS. I should have walked out right there, but I suppose I'm a glutton for punishment. the waitress asked if we wanted refills for our empty drinks. No, I'll be happy with just the ice, thanks. She then went to fold silverware with her back turned from every customer in the restaurant, which basically meant I had to sit there waiting for her to finish since I couldn't waive to get her attention.
So after waiting too long to get mediocre food served by a disgusting chef who puts his dirty hands in it, she gives us the bill and charges us extra for the drink that should have been included in the lunch special. On top of that, my girlfriends calzone was customized, so they charged her $11 for just that. The total bill was $23, but if it was correct should have been $21 plus tip. Assuming a $4 tip, that's $25 for absolute crap food with crap service. No thanks. Since she slid the card before we saw the bill, it wasn't worth fighting, so we just circled the wrong price, wrote "WRONG" next to it, and left her no tip. I've never not a left a tip, but there is a first time for everything.
If you really want good pizza and good service, go to Mellow Mushroom (there are much better pizza places out there, but MM is everywhere). This place sucks, and if this is indicative of what this shopping center will be like, I hope it stays empty. -

My husband and I have become very selective about where we eat Italian food since moving to N GA five years ago. What we've noticed is that the sauce makes the restaurant. Most of the places up here seem content to sling canned sauce all over everything without actually tasting what they're serving to their customers. Upon our first visit to Brooklyn Joe's we noticed a drastic difference. To put it plane their sauce is perfect which makes the pizza, subs, and anything else they serve just as wonderful. We haven't had anything like it in over five years, and we'll definitely be back. Try them out, you won't be sorry.

I love this place. The pizza is by far the best. They opened one on Cumming Highway (GA 20) in Canton and we can't get enough of it. Their cheese pizza is anything but plain. It's full of flavor. I love their Margherita pizza because it's light, fresh and tasty so you don't leave feeling like you should be rolling out the door. My husband and son love the sicilian Bronx Bomber.

I only came here, because my colleagues wanted Pizza.
I of course, cannot have many items on the typical menu at a pizza joint and grudgingly accepted that I would be eating salad, while they gnawed on delicious pizza.
I had the Antipasta Salad and it was pretty good. There are only two things that would have improved the salad. One, the meat was minced. I would have preferred that it was in larger cuts, so that I did not have to feel the need to scape the bowl to get any meat on my fork. Two, some pepperoncini would have added that extra kick to the salad, that was needed.
In my book, that salad was not perfect, but it was decent. It would have been a solid three stars, if it was not for the disappointing service. My order was fine and just as I requested, but my colleague ordered two slices of pizza and requested no black olives and no mushrooms. I heard her make this request and the waitress even repeated, "no black olives and no mushrooms".
When the pizza arrived, we immediately noticed that one slice had black olives and mushrooms, while the other did not. We mentioned it to the waitress and she apologized to my friend. My friend, who is not one to be difficult said she would pick the unwanted olives and mushrooms from the pizza. The waitress was pleased with this response and left it at that.
Meanwhile, I sat across from her and watched her try to pick these items from the one slice. The olives and mushrooms were so thinly sliced that they were completely adhered to the greasy, yet paper thin crust.
Long story short, she gave up on the pizza.
I just think it was crappy that the waitress did not rectify what was clearly her mistake and because of this experience, I do not have any desire to return. -

Best pizza in alpharetta and very likely best along hwy 400. If your tired of the big factory pizza chains and lack luster slice joints then stop in here.
It's a fast casual style with outstanding pies. A few beers as you would expect and well priced. Kids and families are welcome with enough on the kids menu to keep them happy.
If your missing out on this place then your really missing out. The joint blows Ray's tired old pizza out of the water. -

This is a nice place for the lunch menu. The music is set to an oldies station and provides a different atmosphere for a pizza joint. The TV's were set to FoxNews,CNN HLN, and ESPN so there's something for almost any news fan out there. The Ziti Tarangelo is a great lunch choice, pasta, olives, sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese and olive oil. Full of flavor and very tasty. Service is about on par with what you would expect at a fast food place like a TGI Friday's or Chili's.

WooHoo! Welcome to the neighborhood. Brooklyn Joe's has great pizza, pasta, calzone, wraps, salad and more. Have had the pizza, pasta and calzone - all were superb. The staff is super friendly and service is impeccable. Dine in, have it delivered or catered for your next event - just do it. You'll be glad you did.

Good spot to catch a slice. Has a lunch menu that offers a good variety of their menu at moderate prices. Very Clean. One of the staff was sweeping the entire time I was there. Will visit again soon.

So so. Looks like most other places that want to say New York-ish. Staff is young and does not have it together. Went on a Sat night and it was crowded-I would say location vs. quality determines that. Had pizza and pasta for table of 4. Pasta was ok and smothered in sauce/cheese - not a great nor bad taste. Pizza was too thin, could not stand up to a fold. Need a fork (hello- NY style!). The pepperoni on the slice was not cooked enough for my taste.

Everything that we have had is excellent from the white pizza, ziti, sandwiches and more! Decently priced in a nice new building with a huge crowd every time that I am there. The employees are not the smartest and sometimes get the order a little wrong but are happy to replace it free of charge, even bought me a beer while they recooked my ziti with no meat.

I love Brooklyn Joe's! It's the only place I want to get pizza from (and I am a native New Yorker). Service is quick, friendly and the ingredients are always fresh. It's light years ahead of the other NY style pizza joints like Ray's and Johnny's. No, the crust isn't as awesome as in NY, but that's cause we're not in NY. If you want great pizza that is fresh, reasonably priced and served up quickly, this is the ticket! You can't please them all, but the ones who have taste, will like Joes!

Me and my fiance went to this place about a month after it opened. Although service was not that great, that is not the major issue. We ordered a supreme pizza and a slice of plain cheese sicilian. The sicilian was average. The supreme was not average. It was far worse. The waitress brought it out and the first thing that popped into my head was that it looked and smelled like a frozen digiorno pizza. Not only did it look and smell like it, it tasted like it too. We didn't say much during the meal, only shooting each other glances across the table like, "What the heck are we eating. Is this place for real?" After we walked out the door, I turned to him and blurted out, "Ok, was it just me, or was that a frozen digiorno?" My fiance looked at me and said that he was thinking the exact same thing! Sorry, but if I want to eat frozen pizza, I'll buy it from Kroger for $5 and not for $20 from this joke of a pizzeria. Terrible.
