Jerry & Joe’s Pizza

Jerry’s and Joe’s slice and a coke $ 3 special always brings back high school memories… Good NY style slice.

I just had a pizza here my friend had already warned me about her bad experience I couldn’t believe it until it happened to me, disgusting I found a hair in my pizza I’m never ordering pizza here again. If I could rank in negative it would be a negative star they don’t deserve not even one star horrible.

I was really in the mood for spaghetti and meat sauce and my choices were between Jerry and Joe’s and another place. The other place was a bit cheaper than Jerry and Joe’s, but I decided to go with Jerry and Joe’s because of their offer of 15% off first online order. I have never ordered from there, so I thought «why not?» It ended up being the better deal. There was no place on the website or flyer that provided you with a coupon code to apply to your order. I ended up writing about it in the notes and submitted my order. When it came, the 15% was not applied. The delivery man called his manager and they basically tried to tell me that the 15% was applied. What do they think I am? Stupid? So I told him it wasn’t, then they came back and said I was right. it wasn’t applied (duh). So then I asked the manager what we’re going to do about it now, because I specifically chose them for this deal. He told me that because I ordered to an office building that the discount only applies to «new» addresses that are entered. RIDICULOUS. How am I going to be penalized for that? I was a new customer, I’ve never ordered from there before and I don’t count as a new order. So, then he tells me that «IF I WANT» I can call the franchise owner to discuss the matter with him, instead of just honoring the 15%. Needless to say, they did not make a repeat customer out of me. They are lucky they even got 2 stars bc the spaghetti was OK, but nothing to brag about.

Although this restaurant is fairly close to my home, until yesterday, I had never been inside. Usually, I order delivery. My previous reviews relate mostly to their online ordering which needs some improvement. Hence, the reasoning why I went in person. I wasn’t in the mood of having to call to make sure they brought my right beverages this time after placing my order online.
The inside of this restaurant is nothing to rave about. It’s a cluttered space and showing its age. This particular location has been around, for at least, thirty years. Including the counter, there are fifteen seats total. There are only three tables to choose from here. Child seats are also available. Plastic utensils are provided with your meal.
As you can see, I have upgraded them to four stars from three. Only being here will you appreciate the effort that goes into them making your food. In addition, the scent of freshly baked pizza that fills the inside of this restaurant is sublime. To date, this is the only Italian Restaurant I have been to that truly captures that flavor only found in New York City. Their dough, sauce and garlic rolls are freshly made daily. They also claim on their menu that their pasta is homemade but, I will have to confirm this for you another time.
Not this location but, Jerry & Joe’s is indeed the oldest pizzeria in Hialeah. The company itself has been around since 1958. We obviously love them here. If you’re looking for real New York Pizza, this is the chain of Pizzerias you want. Why, with the masses of people in South Florida in search of New York Pizza this restaurant doesn’t have a line out the door is beyond me. For those of you that are new to South Florida, guess where you’ll find New York Pizza? That’s right, Hialeah.
I don’t know how they do it and I don’t care. Maybe they import water from New York or something. All I know is, from witnessing it for the first time, my perception of this restaurant changed while I waited for my food. They are still in business after so many years for a reason.
Things to note and blah, blah, blahs:
* Language — Because of the neighborhood, you will be spoken to in español first. English is available upon request.
* Menu — Their entire menu is in English.
* With every order of Ten Dollars or more, you are given a coupon. Ten of these coupons entitles you to a free medium pizza. SAVE THEM, they add-​up with time.
* They do cater.

Adentro es pequeño y nada interesante pero, hasta ahora, esta es la pizza estilo Nueva York más auténtica que e probado y la tenemos aquí mismo en Hialeah.
