John’s Pizza

Having known John and Owen for over 30 years I knew the food was going to be good. I brought a friend and Owen made us Shrimp Scampi over linguine. YUM! It was so delish!
It is a no frills atmosphere but the food is awesome! Thanks O!

What a pleasure it is doing business with John’s. John is the nicest man and his pizza is the best in the Danbury area. Large slices and very generous portion’s of all his items are the norm. If you need a special order for a party or office event you will be happy you chose John’s.Order the antipasto you will be very glad you did. My whole family loves going to John’s because that’s how he treats you like family.

Been on a diet and made this my cheat day place. Worth every bite and every moment on the treadmill.
Great salads of generous portions.
House baked bread… YUM. great meatballs in a great sauce. Add this place to your list!

The best NY Pizza you can get in Connecticut. Don’t forget to try the white pizza… just phenomenal. Chicken Parm, meatballs, spaghetti… I wouldn’t hesitate to order anything on the menu! John and Owen are the nicest, most generous owners. Don’t pass this place by!

You have to be looking for a good hearty meal to go to John’s. The portions are insane and your dollar definitely goes a long way. John himself is always there with a smile on his face making the entire menu. The pizza is good, quite a bit thicker than NY Style, delicious! John will also make you absolutely anything, so feel free to get creative. One of my favorite things on their menu is the Chicken Parm. it is massive but super delicious. My husband and I always share it and manage to take home leftovers. It is perfectly crunchy and everything is fresh and made to order. It’s definitely a local spot and John has his regulars there all the time. Just remember, it’s not a huge place and they take cash only. but all in all. Great place!

Excellent pizza and service. The pizza is very tasty especially the white pizza. Make sure you go in hungry, because he gives good portions. Even though the portions are huge, John and Owen definitely take their time and try to make each meal delicious.

This was good pizza and the delivery time was fast. I would totally order from this place again.

I was in the mood for a couple slices of pizza, so my buddy and I stopped by John’s to do just that. I ended up ordering a slice of ziti pizza and BBQ chicken pizza, which both looked awesome. My buddy insisted we get a chef’s salad to split since it’s so massive and could be considered a meal for two, or even three people. I went with it.
Two slices and a chef’s salad for $ 20 was a little steep. Maybe I’m just used to paying a couple bucks here and there for slices and less than $ 10 for a salad, but I was a little shocked it came out to that much. Not to mention, they only accepted cash, which I was unaware of. Good thing there was an ATM nearby.
We got back to my buddy’s place and started chowing down. The ziti pizza was perfect, aside from how lackluster the crust was. Both slices were a bit on the heavy side as well, especially if you saw how much topping was placed on top. It was a bit overkill for me, especially on the BBQ chicken. The chicken was a bit dry and eating the whole slice was sort of hard to stomach since it weighed so much. The salad we shared was literally all deli meat and no lettuce. I guess you could consider it a «Man’s Salad» because of how many veggies there wasn’t. This would’ve been alright if I didn’t just house about 5 pounds of pizza from two slices, but I could barely eat any of it due to how full I was.
John’s isn’t bad, and the staff there was generally nice to us, but I think they sit on the fact of quantity over quality. I might stop by again, maybe for a salad, but there are plenty of better pizza options in the Danbury area.

Our family has been going to John’s (and Owen’s) for years.
The portions are large, the food is well seasoned and tasty, everyone is friendly almost like a family meal each time you go in there.
Beer and wine is cheap compared to other restaurants.
John’s is not pretentious, just great Italian food.
The Lasagna is great, when ordering chicken you seem to get a whole bird, sausage, peppers and onions over pasta can last for a few days.
Really busy inside between 6 — 8, be ready to wait but you will not be disappointed (he may even give you a few slices of his delicious white pie while you wait)!

Was so disappointed with the pizza. The grease was overwhelming. I wouldn’t go back there for pizza

Our take-​out pie, enticingly heavy, had a sodden bottom crust, was topped with sodden, direct from the can mushrooms, a thick layer of cheese that didn’t even pretend to adhere to the crust, and virtually no sauce. A complete disappointment. I had forgotten why we never ordered from John’s; I was reminded.

While the pizza here is not stellar beyond belief pizza, it is a great pie! You watch while John makes it from scratch right in front of you, pops it in the oven and starts working on the next one. He’s a stand up guy. First time I went in I didn’t realize he didn’t take cards and only had $ 15 in cash. I had ordered a large to taste test and I knew it was going to be slightly more… he simply said «that’s just enough, you can get my next time» and I got him next time. You don’t find that kind of generosity in places anymore. The pizza is crispy (sometimes a little soggy in the center because of the generous amount of toppings) and always fresh. Their bbq chicken and buffalo chicken pizza is yummy! I haven’t had the white pizza but I’ll have to go and try a slice soon! The portions of all the other entrees he has are quite large as I’ve seen them go by. John also seems to have something in common with every person that comes in. This place really reminds me of a family joint that is lacking these days from the olden days. In certain places (like Greenpoint, NY) where community is still community and everyone knows each other, people had a trust with each other and a family feel to every store… you get that when you walk into John’s.
My only qualm… I’m a purist and need to have a pizza fit in the box! If it doesn’t fit and gets smushed, I get weird about it. Personal issue. His larges are really large and don’t fit in the large boxes. Otherwise, I love this place and will continue going back!

Been eating John’s pizza since his days on Mamaroneck Avenue at Nicky’s. When we heard John opened his own place in Danbury, we would drive 45 minutes just to go have his pizza. Been going ever since — 20 years! Owen’s food is delicious with HUGE portions. Definitely enough to share and/​or take plenty of leftovers home. Both John and Owen are extremely generous and take excellent care of their customers. Many many repeat patrons to the point where if you go often enough you will see all the familiar faces. Can’t say enough good things about John’s Pizza. Absolutely a family favorite for both quality of food, portion size and family feel.

Best pizza around — truly new York style!

John makes the BEST pizza. Owen makes the BEST food. Price is always right. Been going there since they opened, about 20 years ago. 5 * yum!

Delicious! Amazing! Spectacular every time… John is incredibly hospitable. He makes you feel like you’re visiting your families pizzeria each and every visit! Anyone who enjoys pizza is missing out if they have not experienced Johns pizza yet! Get there tonight!

Ordered a large pizza and when John said it’ll be 10 minutes, I wanted to leave right then and there. I should have because that wasn’t pizza, it was a tasteless soggy mess. The «sausage» was a scary looking gray matter that was in fat strips.

Great pizza and a great atmosphere to eat in. John cooks and serves the pizza himself.

John’s has a very loyal customer base — some customers are there almost every time I visit, and for good reason. It’s not uncommon to see a few cop cars and/​or mail trucks parked in front. They love his food. John’s specialty is his white pizza. I highly recommend his calzones, pizzas and lasagna. Huge portions. Expect to bring a nice doggy bag home for tomorrow’s lunch (and maybe dinner too!) John and his brother Owen are very generous, and wil make you feel at home. Don’t be suprised if John gives you a slice of pizza while you’re waiting for your food or takeout, or brings you some nice fresh fruit or icecream after your meal. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you are really hungry and craving some Italian comfort food.
FYI: John’s is closed on Sundays.
