      Amazing food with great service. A fantastic sauce on the pizza, and an amazing BBQ chicken pizza.
      Meatball sandwich is a must try.

      We love this place! Always good food and Gluten free options. We ordered their food for catering our party and everyone loved their beef and other food we ordered.

      The thin crust is the star here especially when well done. Excellent topping selection. Certainly one of my family's favorite pizzas.

      Cons:
      Tried their double dough pizza and found it disappointing. Their Margarita pizza is so weaksauce you would think it is from Chuck E. Cheese

      Let me start by saying that this establishment has the best ribs in town however good food can only get you so far. I've been ordering food here for probably the last 6 to 7 years. Typically something is missing from delivery almost every time. The drivers are always usually very friendly and try to bring back the items in a relatively fast manner however my last incident with this establishment was my last.

      My mother wanted to treat the family to dinner we had ordered three gyro platters and upon delivery we received three gyros platters but there was no pita bread no sauces and no french fries which for my kids is really all they wanted for dinner. Upon calling back I spoke to a young lady who said that she apologized and would make sure that three new gyros platters with the works was resent out because by the time that the delivery would get there the current order would be cold. Sure enough upon delivery all they sent were brownies pita bread and the french fries and when I spoke to the manager he told me he could not take the loss of sending out three warm gyros platters even though they were wrong so as a gesture he sent brownies.

      I understand that Covid had an effect on all businesses however for customers who order almost weekly at this establishment to be told that they couldn't afford to send three more platters makes me question the integrity of the business itself.

      If you want to try this place understand that your best bet is to place the order and pick it up yourself and make sure that all items are present before leaving the restaurant unfortunately there have been too many mishaps and not enough caring on the part of the ownership or management to continue eating here.

      Came here on the advice of a local who said the Italian beef was real good. I have to say it was one of the best beefs I've had anywhere. And the fries are outstanding. They must lightly toast the rolls they put the beefs on or something which is a really nice touch. Very small place, only a counter to sit at or some outside tables. Mostly do take out I think. Real good service. I will definitely go here again.

      If starting this review by saying this is the 4th time I've had Little Joey's in the last week isn't an indication of how great it is, no words will do.

      But seriously, this place has the freshest ingredients, a huge menu, and the friendliest staff. They have gotten every single order right for us, over the several dozen times we've been now. This review could've come 5 months ago when we first moved here and ordered a "quick bite" here but well, I was too busy working and eating Little Joey's.

      My favorites: the Grecian salad and the chicken wraps. My fiancé's fav: double bacon cheeseburger

      I love Little Joey's! I have used them for a few years to cater our annual golf outings. Everything was delivered at the time I asked for. Nothing was missing in our order. They followed my changes and directions to the tee! I live close by and go there typically once a week. Their Chicken Cobb Salad is really good and is presented nicely. Their pizza is decent.... I prefer their thin crust. Their Italian Beef is better and leaner than Portillo's! No complaints!

      The wife and I stopped in for a late lunch. I ordered the Gyros and the wife ordered an Italian sausage sandwich. We both enjoyed our meals and the wife took a fork full of my Gyros and she loved it. It was such a nice fall day that we decided to eat outside. The server brought our sandwiches to us. We will definitely go back to Joey's.

      Mediocre pizza and it's always late. Every time I've ordered from here they tell me it'll be ready at a certain time and I end up waiting another half an hour to get my pizza. There are many better places in the area that are better run and have better pizza. Don't waste your time or money.
