What a horrible business - poor attitude - Inept Ownership!. I ordered 7 jumbo pizza's from Joe's for an event I was hosting. 6 pizza's arrived. I asked to be refunded for one undelivered pizza...seemed like a simple enough solution. INSTEAD...Joe, the business owner, gets on the phone with me and starts arguing about how he made the pizzas and the driver is saying he delivered 7 pizzas. Apparently math is not a must in the pizza shop owning business as my counter argument that I am standing over 6 and only 6 pizzas was not satisfactory.

Joe then has the audacity to state that 'well I bet it is the best pizza you've ever had' in the middle of an argument about him charging me for undelivered product!

Story ends with Joe basically stealing $25 out of a $200 order for...AND DON'T MISTAKE THIS EVERYONE...very mediocre, run of the mill, can get it ANYWHERE, pizza.

Best Old Chicago-Style Thin Crust. *Best cheese on pizza... cooked good and light brown. *Best crust on pizza... nobody has been able to produce a consistent thin cracker crisp crunch all the way thru like this place. We always get the traditional sausage pizza... I wonder if it would stay crunchy like this if multiple items were ordered.

*Best sauce... just the right amount of sauce. Not dry and not overly saturated.

*Better than the great original Vito and Nick's on Pulaski (featured on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives")

Oh... and the toasted ravioli with the meat sauce is the best, too.

Service is classic friendly Southside style.

Not a fancy restaurant... a booths and tables/chairs-type a place (probably seating for about 50). Pricing is very fair. Can get half-pitchers of beer or pop!

My background... West Side (city and burbs my whole life) and I am NEVER out this way, so I am not being biased, like I was from this area.

Memory Lane. Pizza recipe has not changed since the 1940's How great it is to have that same taste, and be reminded of growing up around 63rd st back in the day! Sadly for me I'm out in California and can only get my pizza fix once in while, when I visit.

excellent food - great service from employees that have been there a long time. We love eating at Joe's Italian Villa - and having their food delivered, as well. We enjoy their pizza and lasagna! The people that work there - make it! They really are good folks.

Best Pizza Ever!. Joe's is definitely one of my favorite restaurants. My family has been going there since my mom and her siblings were little. I always take my girlfriend there when she is in town, and we always get a large cheese pizza, a side of fries, and a pitcher of Pepsi. Everything is always excellent. Their sodas are very syrupy and full of flavor. I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for great food and service. My only regret is that they don't sell the cool tie-dyed shirts that the waitresses wear.
