joey's pizza

great pizza, wonderful service. we seriously only order pizza from joey's!

real east coast style pizza!!. my family's from rhode island, might be a small state but being so close to ny we have some of the best italian food, including pizza, which in this italian fam we eat alot of :) we're also a military family so every time we move to a new state the search is on for pizza that's like back home, usually we don't find it. but we did!! joeys sicilian pizza is awesome, sauce is chunky and the crust has just enough olive oil on it so it's not dry and it has that little crispness. and u can get ricotta as a topping which u cant at most pizza places so thats a plus. we ordered a round pizza for the kids too & my 4yr old actually ate the crust saying it was good, that never happens lol. if u happen to be from ri, joeys pizza reminds us of cassertas pizza on federal hill mixed with maybe superior bakery pizza. we've tried that borriello bros when we 1st got here (ughhh) and my whole family agreed we woulda liked pizza hut, dominos or even cheapo little caesars better. we won't be ordering pizza from anywhere but joeys from now on! and they give a military discount which is cool. try it, u def won't be disappointed :)

this place is awesome! we spent several weeks searching for the best pizza in colorado springs and joey's was by far the best. highly recommend joey's!

great pizza. its not as easy to find what i call good pizza after living many years in ny. joey's pizza is good pizza. its worth the price. i have been going here since they opened. if i had to find something wrong with this place it would be the toppings seemed to have gotten lighter since they originally opened.. but to be honest i can easily overlook this being the pizza is so damn good!! :) go get some you wont be disappointed.

in a word... awesome. it was my wife's birthday and we had heard about joey's at church so we went. they let me call ahead and place our order before we got there (which was sweet considering we have a 10 month old and didn't want to wait). i always love independent non chain restaurants and haven't had luck finding one on the north side of the springs let alone a pizza place. the staff was incredibly friendly the food was unbelievably good and they sell individual slices!!! we ordered an 18" fugedabodit and some cheese garlic bread and loved it. when they brought it out it was hot and they even offered to slice a piece up into small squares for the baby (which i let them do) and she loved it too.

when choosing to go here don't be scared by the independent factor, just take the plunge and try something new i promise you'll enjoy it.

also someone commented on the decor and people not being what they are on the site... they are exactly the same, the graffiti is on a wall in the back and the guy in the picture was the one who served us the pizza.

thanks joey's we will be back.

sicilian pizza was the best.. i believe i've finally exhausted all of my new york style pizza places in colorado springs after ordering joey's last night. here are some of my thoughts:

with out of town family coming in, we needed to feed the 5 of us. we decided that one sicilian pizza and one 18" pizza would do it (we were right). i ordered pick-up and had a vague idea of where it was. good thing i had gps though, because the tint on the window was so dark and the neon sign was so dim (p.s. vinyl signs do not show up in the dark) that i wouldn't have been able to tell what this place was, let alone if it was open. if joey's pizza ever goes out of business, it's because people don't know it exists.

so anyway, from the pictures they have on their website, this place looked totally different in person. where is the cool graffiti on the walls and where are the italians with slicked back hair and large blingy crosses hanging from their necks? this place was staffed by typical coloradoans, shucks.

so we took our $45 worth of pizzas home, a sicilian "the stallion" and an 18" new york style mushrooms, sausage and artichoke hearts. when we got back home, we all dug in immediately. right off the bat, the sicilian was a big hit. i'm unsure of any other place in town, excluding pizza hut, that still offers this style? but the crust was amazing. perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. the sauce was plentiful and the toppings were piled high (see my picture). the meats were excellent and everything went together. happily, the pizza was not as salty as i was preparing myself for, which allowed me to not wake up in the middle of night searching for a gallon of water. everyone agreed, the sicilian pizza was king.

as for the 18", it had mixed reviews. the crust looked like it was going to be a flimsy dough-fest. but in fact, it turned out to be perfect. it had a perfect mixture of chewy and crispy that was better than a comparable boriello brothers pizza. the sauce, however, was non-existant. i don't know why there was no sauce on it (once again, see picture to see if you can spot any), but i was having flashbacks of the absolutely terrible pizza i had at leon gessi's. luckily, the toppings saved it somewhat with the sausage being the standout taste winner. this is not chunky chunks of sausage like pizza hut/dominos/little caesars uses, this is like a strained sausage slice that spread thinly on the slice, but was everywhere giving you the illusion of sausage in every bite.

so there you have it, sicilian style pizza that is tops in this town, a new york style that needs to be ordered with "extra sauce" and you have yourself a place that can still go to bat with the big boys.

i've been all over the world, this is one of my favorite pizza shops. it's definitely the best in colorado springs.

ny pizza. i grew up in queens village, ny during the 60's and early 70's. gaby's pizza is still the best ever! but joey's is very good also. the cheese, bread, toppings are all ny standard, except the sauce. we get very light on our pizza because it is to acidy.

very good pizza!

from best to worst. i couldn't give it 0 stars, but that is what it deserves. this was the best pizza in town, now it is the worst. the people that work there don't care about the food. when joey was there the food tasted like it was from a ny pizzaria. now the calzones are all dough, the white pizza is like soup and the regular pizza is dry....we will never order from there again!!!!!! we were loyal customers, not anymore!

awesome pizza!. borriello brothers can't hold a candle to joey's pizza on any level. .. joey's pizza is so much tastier and the price is right. the ingredients are fresher and most important, the customer service is a million times better than any of the boriello pizza locations. do yourself a favor, visit this restaurant and see what true ny pizza really is!

you'd have had a new customer, if.... you had your menu posted somewhere besides myspace!! i was looking forward to trying out your food, but i can't get on to myspace, and you've got to sign in to look at the menu.
sorry, but you lost my business

my second review. i wrote one review before where we went in sat down and tried the pizza slices...tonight i ordered delivery from joey's for the 2nd time...i was concerned about ordering anything else but pizza since their pizza is so amazing, i wasn't sure the rest could stack up. boy was i wrong! i ordered a calzone with pepperoni and a meatball sub...even after ordering i was still doubting i made the right decision by not ordering pizza...i am not a big fan of meatball subs...and it was a suggestion of the person who took my order when i asked her opinion of a few different options. man was i glad she suggested that one...it was honestly the best sub i have ever had in my life! the calzone was delicious too!!! dare i say as good or better than the pizza (which i didn't think was possible!). seriously you have to try the meatball sub!!!!!!!!!!!! the customer service was excellent as well, as we had a little issue with the delivery...i have to say at the end of the day they satisfied all criteria of a local owned place and left me completely happy with food and service! which isn't the easiest to do when you have an irritated 8 month pregnant lady and her crabby and hungry 2 year old waiting on food!
thanks joey's
we're fans!

excellent!!!. excellent pizza!!! give this spot a try, you'll be back time and time again!!! the prices are fantastic and the lunch specials really are a bargain!!! we ate here for the first time today after reading about them on urbanspoon....the great reviews were spot on!!! they will become the pizza we order for our pizza and movie nights from now on!!!

finally! real ny pizza!. i have been searching for authentic pizza out here for years. i'd officially given up on the search and eating pizza out here, saving my cravings for trips back home to see the fam. typically even seeing a sign eluding to "ny" pizza out here turns me off as i've just been so disappointed each time, finding that they don't know anything about ny pizza, or they haven't mastered the water and altitude issues of colorado, or maybe are from ny and have figured out this environment but, decided to cheap out on the ingredients. joey's got such rave reviews i couldn't resist. so i took a shot and picked up a margareta pie from them tonight, that's as authentic as it gets in my opinion. from the moment we walked in it seemed promising. the neighborhood kids were hanging out watching tv (so reminiscent of the pizza places in long island where i grew up), the accents, the simplicity of the place. . .. long story short, i couldn't wait to get home and try the pizza. no disappointment this time! finally, the real deal. from the crust to the sauce, the cheese, tomatoes and the slice was big enough to fold in half (which is how it's done coloradans). i'd give this place 20 stars if i could and if nothing else will make sure my friends know!

outstanding. best calzone's and stromboli in the springs. our entire family are fans of joey's!

best pizza in the state of colorado. i can promise you that joey's pizza is the best pizza in the state of colorado. i am from the east coast about one hour from nyc and what people consider "pizza" to be here is rediculous. boriello brothers, an over-priced popular pizzeria in town, can't even come close to joey's. joey's literally has no competition and by far is worth every penny.
