Joseph’s Pizza

Well, today was my second time at Joseph’s and I’m sold!
Started the meal off with the stuffed mushrooms and fried calamari: WHAM. Hit hard with flavor and the ol’ taste buds set sail on a journey. I ordered myself a pie topped with mushrooms and feta cheese. When the waiter brought out my pizza, I caught one glance and became light headed. The presentation was perfect, like a Cirque du Soleil show on a plate. What I normally look for in a bad pizza is a greasy sheen or uneven toppings; this was not the case with Joseph’s, no sir.
Beautiful pizza, no grease, even toppings. But was beauty only skin deep? no, glad you asked, absolutely not.
The taste was a thrill ride I did not want to get off of. The cheese was sharp but not overbearing, the mushrooms were subtle but made a bold statement and the feta was straight dope.
But Walker, the service– what about the service?! Settle friend, I’ll have you know that the waiter was attentive and quick to help any chance he had (shout out to Andrew!). He made great suggestions and I’d imagine even if you ordered a pizza with pickled onions and sardines he’d still come up with a way to make you feel that you made a good choice.
Long story short– go. When you’re in Atlantic Beach and looking for a hot slice, skip Al’s and see my buddy Joseph and ask for Andrew. Tell em Walker sent ya.
5 stars, no competition.

This is my favorite pizza place at the beaches. The pizza is delicious and they have great service. You can order a couple beers and slices and enjoy the rest of your day on day beach. It’s hard to find parking but it’s worth it. It’s fairly inexpensive and affordable. They kegs on tap. You can dine inside or out.

Bottomless mimosas and great frittatas!!! Good friendly service is always a pleasure!

Ordered delivery as I was too lazy to get out. Ordered the shrimp scampi, side Caesar salad, and bread. Bread was the best part. Was not impressed at all. Guess I got these people confused with another «insert name here» Pizza place. The 3^rd party delivery people were quick & courteous no complaint there. Obviously anyone else’s food would have been better. Oh well I know now…

I have been to the place a few years back and remembered it to be pretty good. I decided to go with my wife today & was disappointed. We started with an appetizer of calamari. I asked the waitress if it was fresh or frozen? She told me she didn’t know, but it was a good seller at the restaurant. We decided to give it a try. When we received the appetizer the calamari was so greasy like they didn’t give it enough time to drain and just threw it on a plate. They served it with some sauce that is supposably house made but to me taste like cocktail sauce and ketchup mixed together. We had to take each piece of calamari and pat it with a napkin to remove alot of the grease.
I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza as my main dish and my wife the chicken parm sandwich. My pizza was just ok. I could have done without the lettuce and tomato on a hot pizza. Lettuce does not taste good hot and way to much ranch sauce on the pizza. My wife’s parm sandwich was way to soggy to much sauce and they fried a bunch of tiny chicken nuggets for the chicken probably frozen chicken. Disappointed should have been a fresh battered chicken breast. Fries were also ordered with my wife’s food they were soggy under cooked and no one likes soggy pretty much raw fries. Fries are not hard to cook. Drop In oil fry til golden brown?
Very nice people clean place nothing wrong with the atmosphere it’s a very nice place. The food needs to be up lifted. I remembered this place to be very good the one other time I ate there.

Four stars for the value, the service and the experience.
We snagged the last open table on a bustling Friday night. Our server Andrew, was super polite and simply a great worker. He made helpful suggestions to my better half when ordering.
My Chicken Piccata was heavily flavored with lemon and generously covered with mushrooms and artichokes. The chicken tore apart with fork and knife. The spaghetti was properly cooked, which made a nice accompaniment to the chicken. The Italian Wedding soup warmed me up on a cool evening. Honestly, the soup and garlic break were just A-​OK. Very basic and had decent flavor.
The portions here are no joke. Absolutely huge. I guarantee you will have to take home leftovers. Joseph’s is a Jax institution and it’s certainly easy to see why. A humble Italian atmosphere, steps away from the beach. Can’t beat that.

We come to eat here all the time !! It’s great !! The homey atmosphere and the wonderful staff! I have had two different occasions that my son just happend to throw up everywhere there and I was clearly embarrassed !! The staff there has made me feel so welcomed and made me feel like it’s okay even though they had to clean up baby puke !! I just wanted to say thank you for being so great and also sending me home with food for my husband !! I am a manager and bartender at a restaurant and I know how fun it is to clean up baby messes lol ! So thank you again for ur awesome warm welcoming and let me not forget to say they have the best pizza around !!! Be back soon !!

Really wishing I would have discovered this place sooner! I ordered some kind of buffalo chicken pizza that was delicious. I am actually going back tonight to get it again. Every dish and pizza that the servers carried out to other tables looked really good too. They have great happy hour deals on beer and wine as well. We sat outside and I would recommend doing that because it’s very relaxing and good people watching in a nice neighborhood. The server was very friendly and attentive, pizza was delicious and you can’t beat $ 2 wine and $ 1 beer.

We came to Joseph’s for brunch on a Sunday morning. We had basic orders (eggs, toast) and waited over 30 minutes before asking a waiter where our food was and during that time no one even came by to check on us. He told us our food would be out in 2 minutes. About 8 minutes later, some food came out, but it was not ours. We decided to take our business elsewhere and left.
The young staff obviously did not receive a lesson in customer service from the owners. The place also seemed dirty — it was our mistake for even sitting down. My recommendation is to grab breakfast from around the corner.

The Josephs special is AMAZING. If I don’t get it once a week, it is a bad week!

We came here with a large group, and the staff did a great job of taking care of us. The Buffalo Chicken Pizza is a must, and they also have great Garlic Knots. I would recommend this place to any fellow Pizza lover.

When I’m enjoying a romp on the sand and a foray into the ocean off Jax Beach, there’s no place I enjoy more after than Joseph’s Pizza. The helpful staff and hot owners keep me coming back time and again. You want to go light? Try the Greek salad. Need a nibble to whet your appetite? Look no further than the mozza sticks and stuffed shrooms. Ready to go all in? The meat lovers pizza is the perfect way to cap the day.
Good food and good people. What else do you need?

I stopped into Joseph’s after a long day at the beach. It’s a small space inside, but they have some tables outside as well. The service was friendly and they offer pizza by the slice. Their pizza is a heavy dough for me, I prefer a lighter crust. They also offer entrees and ice cream as well. I would return and try something different, or if I were really hungry, I would order a slice of pizza again. I would also order a pitcher of beer and snag a table outside and enjoy being at the beach.

My lasagna treated like rubber tires. The wine was watery tasting. Obviously not the best place for wine, but given it being a small little restaurant i had big hopes for the food.

We went here over the summer last year when we moved here and loved everything but the pizza so we weren’t too quick to return.
Tonight I’m so glad we gave it a second chance because now I can’t wait to go back! We got everything that we loved our previous visit. Started off with the calamari that is perfectly cooked. Tender and lightly battered. You can tell it is freshly cut in house and it is served with their «special sauce» that is unique and oddly addictive.
We both continued the evening with salads. I got the small house salad which was a perfect size and their homemade Italian dressing is amazing! My husband being Italian is back home in jersey with their antipasto salad! He said that you can’t find many places that put the pickled vegetables on salads like they do up north! He loved it! We also got the must try garlic knots! They are perfectly sized to pop in your mouth with a perfect combination of garlic and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
Onto the main event that steered us wrong the initial visit here. We kept it simple for the pizza. We did all mushroom and half with bacon! It came out piping hot! Beautifully cooked! Crispy crust with a nice soft doughy center! Knocked it out of the ball park! I didn’t want to stop eating it! The toppings were very generous with fresh cut mushrooms and crisp– sliced quality bacon!
By the end of the night Joseph’s had redeemed itself as one of our favorite places! Can’t forget our server who was so attentive to all of our needs! He was very friendly along with the rest of the staff! Thank you for a wonderful experience! We look forward to going back soon!

the server ashley is a terrible server. dont get me wrong the food was amazing its just how she treated me compared to other customers is such a bad way. esp i just moved here and its my first time at this place. PLUS got charged gratuity even tho there’s only me. i dont know why. prolly she thought im not going to tip. im a server too but she’s the worst server i had in my entire life.

Good pizza/​pasta/​sub place. Grab a seat outside and enjoy a quick lunch. I had a veggie sub, my husband had the meatball sub. We both loved it!

I will say that I have eating at a Joseph’s for more then 15 – 20 years now. but, I have never eaten here. I have seen it and past it bye so many times. Today I decided was the day that I stopped in. It’s a small place nicely done an all. The wait staff was friendly and gave me everything that I needed to have a pleasant meal. They were there when I needed and no when I didn’t want them around. I did go for a pizza but their menu looks really close to the restaurant that I have been to many many times. Downtown on Main Street the original Joseph’s. My pie was good the crust was a little thicker then I had wanted. I seem to remember the crust being thinner in town. There was plenty of meat on my pie and the sauce wasn’t out of a can like most places. I’m really glad that I stopped in and mad at the sametime. Why didn’t I stop before today other then that I’ll be back.

I had the antipasto platter… Good amount of food, and the bread is very good… Soft inside and crusty outside, just made fresh. My friend asked for their sample pasta dish which had 3 pasta types. He special requested it to be switched to a white sauce, and they accommodated. Very good tasting, but needed some salt (no problem… Everyone doesn’t need salt). The price was very low cost compared to other Italian places I’ve been. It seems most Italian places overcharge but their prices are what I’d expect an Italian place should be. The waiter was friendly. Both times I’ve been, I got a seat quickly. But possibly lacks seating during prime times because the restaurant is small.

The pizza is completely forgettable and better food can be found nearby.
The inside of the restaurant is cluttered with tables and the counter is in an awkward position (you have to weave in between tables and people eating just to get to it), which makes for weird flow. It just feels uncomfortable.
