Among the standout menu items, the stuffed pizza takes center stage. Described as "three slices in one," it's a feast for the senses. For those who prefer a classic taste, the pepperoni Sicilian slice is a must-try, featuring a generously flavored crust that consistently delights, as evidenced by Christina Zeng’s glowing critique. The gigantic slices are not only satisfying but they promise a stellar flavor profile, even in moments when pepperoni enthusiasts might only find cheese.
For the adventurous eater, Joe's offers a plethora of options beyond pizza. Their handmade calzones, filled with savory Italian sausage, peppers, and a generous blend of cheeses, showcase the kitchen's commitment to quality. Don't forget to complement your meal with Mike's Hot Honey or JBP Buffalo Hot Sauce for an extra kick!

Grandpa's pizza was so good. My daughter & I loved every bite. I also enjoyedbthe metallic pinball game after I ate. What a treat for a quick afternoon snack.

Always amazing pizza! The staff is friendly and there is always something new to try (but I stick to the buffalo chicken because it’s too good to pass up). Favorites include buffalo chicken (duh), stuffed pizza (it’s like 3 slices in 1), and the veggie. The crust is so thin and crispy, but never burnt!

Has the friendliest staff ever! They make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The pizza is perfect—crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and fresh toppings. Great food, even better service. Highly recommend!

Okay I was pretty skeptical at first. We ordered three pepperoni slices, one pepperoni Sicilian and a plain Sicilian and it came out to 27 and I was not happy with the price. However the pizza was pretty damn good so I changed my mind and decided it's worth it! Also I didn't have any issues with customer service as other reviewers noted, they seemed pretty friendly to me! I grew up in Brooklyn but live in Binghamton now. I've been looking for a good Sicilian slice for years. I haven't had one in a while so my memory might be off, but in my opinion this is legit and it hit the spot!!! Also the slices were HUGE. The picture is of the pepperoni Sicilian and even that was quite big but the cheese Sicilian was even bigger... It didn't look that big through the glass so just keep that in mind! They're gigantic!!! Also I liked that the pepperoni sicilian wasn't just a cheese slice with some pepperoni on top. Even the bites without pepperoni had some good pepperoni flavor. The cheese slice was really good too though. I tried a bite of the triangle slices and it was also delicious. Super-thin crust for triangles, super puffy for squares!!! As they should be!! If I didn't live 2.5 hours away I would definitely come back all the time.

Great slices . Great service. Always friendly staff. Food was 10/10 as usual.

Mo was my server and she was very nice and friendly. She treated me and my family with love and respect. I will definitely be back. And totally recommend this place.

5-25: Brighton Location. Today I had 2 slices of pepperoni which are cooled and reheated. From 3-5 they run a special of buy 1 slice get the second free. Excellent promotion to use up the pizza that was made and not sold before the dinner ...

Undoubtedly the best pizza in the Rochester area. The toppings, sauce and entire pizza is incredibly flavorful with fresh ingredients that really come through in each bite. You can customize easily. Their crust is just the right about of chewy/crunchy and doesn’t taste cardboard unlike so many other high-end pizza places around here. To those complaining that “they could go to X national pizza chain for cheaper,” are you insane? Yes, Joe’s is more expensive, but they essentially serve gourmet pizza compared to the mass produced tasteless crustcheese you’re talking about buying for 12.99 at that chain place. In my opinion, paying a little more for a high-quality pie is preferable to ever eating the usual garbage that passes for pizza in most of Rochester. Heroes are excellent with great flavor profiles as well. Our favorite is the meatball! Same goes for the garlic knots which are perfectly buttery, soft, and delicious. This location is a lot better that the Henrietta location where one employee in particular is a little rude and one time passive-aggressively put us on hold and clearly hung up on us repeatedly, rather than just telling us we couldn’t place an order an hour before closing time because they were too busy. I’ve yet to run into an issue like that at the Brighton location.
