8 reviews for Johnny's New York Pizza
I really like this place - my favorite for fast cheap, fast, slices at lunch. I come every other week for a couple of slices or a slice/salad combo. The price is right, the service is fast, and the place has some character with murals of New York and occasional deals based on sports outcomes. The booths are getting greasy and I don't understand why the TVs are always on but there is no sound or captions.
The pizza is exactly what I expect for thin crust, New York style. They use fresh mushrooms, not canned. They are generous with the toppings. I agree that the salads could be better, but for the price, and style of the restaurant, I don't expect some sort of organic mixed greens with gourmet olives on top. Plus, I can refill my own soda as many times as I want.
We order whole pizzas sometimes too and they are consistently good.
Good place, good pizza and the Garlic Knots are total east coast right out of Brooklyn. So being from the east coast I appreciate the food and atmosphere. Its not one of these places out there that has no clue about making pizza. The place is clean and they are totally into good customer service. Not a 5 star cause the pizza is not consistently good. Got a pizza there one night and brought it 30 min home to find out it was burnt.
I'll have to agree with Caroline C about the garlic knots here. There was no air to the dough although I think her taste might have truly been off cause the flavor was okay. Had the knots been sitting around too long? Not enough rise time? Dunno, but we won't order them again.
The pizza on the other hand has been very good, we've tried several. Cooked well, topped just right and a decent spice to the sauce. A slight word of warning, the meatball pies have seasoned ground beef on them and not actual meatballs. This is our second favorite pie in the south Lakewood area. So when we're down here and if the lines are too long at our fav (and we don't have to have our knots), you'll find us here.
Not bad really, just kinda boring.
Admittedly, I've got a little bit of a head cold at the moment, but the garlic knots ($3.49 for 12) were heavy, chewy and practically flavorless. The accompanying marinara sauce was completely unremarkable.
We chose a 16 inch "Dad's Favorite" pizza (sausage, pepperoni, meatballs; $13.99). The pizza was huge and the price seemed really reasonable but again, there was so little flavor. There was ample cheese and pizza sauce, and the crust was cracker-like but chewy (just how I like it) but there was no yeasty goodness going on, and the meat toppings were pretty bland and ground up much too finely.
Overall, I give Johnny's New York Pizza 3.5 stars - I wouldn't say no to going there again, but I can definitely think of better places.
Fugettaboutit - Johnny's serves up a real slice of the New York pie. I've been frequenting this place since it opened four years ago and still enjoy it. It's the closest New York-style pizza I've found in this area...I know there are some better in Denver, but my damn job is in Lakewood so I godda do what I godda do!
No.
If I have to eat fucking Johnny's pizza one more time during a damned meeting at work, I will kill myself. Consider yourself warned.
Greasy, bland, too soft crust. Must I go on?
The salad is like something you would prepare for a third grader in order to make him eat his vegetables, and the only redeeming factor of this place is the fact that they have garlic knots. I can forgive almost anybody for their sins if they offer me a garlic knot.
I absolutely love the garlic knots here! They are beyond words. The pizza is good, I just don't particularly love NY style thin crust. The calzones and pasta are very good and I would highly recommend it if you are looking to try something other than pizza.
This is the best New York style pizza in Denver. It tastes exactly like a slice you can get on a Brooklyn street corner, no more, no less. Very simple and tasty, which is what pizza should be, this place is a lot better than overhyped and overpriced joints downtown.
