Joey D’s Chicago Style Eatery & Pizzeria

If you want to great Chicago style dog or pizza this is the place to come.
Gyros are excellent also very large portions the chili cheese fries were delicious.
Kelly the waitress is so laid-​back and relaxed great experience been here twice this week.

Staff is friendly and helpful. I feel like a part of the family every time I’m in. Pizza that takes me back to my childhood in Chicago, and the only place I’ve gotten a truly authentic Chicago dog in Florida. ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Would go every day if I could for those hot dogs!

This is now the Joey Ds I like to go to. Since the one in Bradenton moved to its new location this is the closet one worth going to. I have tried both the thin crust and the deep dish here. At this location I suggest going with the thin crust. The deep dish was not terrible but it seemed kinda lack luster. The deep dish was almost soggy on the edges and the top did not distribute the sauce evenly at all. But aside from that the staff is friendly and the service is always wonderful here. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good thin crust pizza.

Im from Chicago and know what real Chicago pizza is like. Ordered a Chicago style deep dish pizza, and couldn’t swallow more than half a bite. Joey D I’m not sure what Chicago your from, but theres no way its the one in Illinois.

Friendly service by Krysten, and delicious pizza. Small place, but comfy and big screens for a football Sunday. We will come again on our next visit to Sarasota. I was told there are two other locations in the area, this being the smallest.

The front desk clerk at the Hyatt Place Hotel suggested we try this restaurant for great pizza. So we dropped in to give it a try. The pizza was excellent and the service was outstanding. You can tell everyone at Joey D’s enjoyed their jobs.

I just left this place and it was AMAZING!!! Living in Chicago I love to go to places in other states that claim «Chicago style» well thus was the 1^st place EVER that I would agree it’s was great I had wing chill cheese dog with bacon and a Philly cheese steak all AMAZING!!! the staff was super polite and I’m assuming it was Joe that came from the back to ask everyone how there food was the table next to me was raving about the pizza so I will be back tomorrow to try it

This place has the best Italian beef sandwich in Sarasota. It’s good by Chicago standards, even.

We are from Jersey so we know good dogs! And joeys dogs are really good! Prices are high but good food. We’ll be back! We’re have I heard that before?

Eggplant sandwich was very tasty. Very light not the heavy greasy taste you get from some places. Felt for the price, it should have been bigger. Pizza tasted great but was cut weird. Not cut in the normal 8 to 10 but cut in a lot of little pieces. In their defense, it did say Chicago style so maybe that is what they do there. Would give it another try. They did not skimp on the toppings. That you for sure got your monies worth. The restaurant on the inside is quiet small but is nicely decorated and cute. Maybe it was larger than it appears but it was packed since it was a downpour. They also deliver which is helpful when staying a one of the many hotels in the area. We ordered and packed it up and even with the restaurant being busy it was ready within 5 minutes of when they said it would be and boy was it hot. I would recommended this place for anyone having that pizza craving even with the fact that they cut it weird. Weird in a good way.

Usually eat at the Joey D’s in Bradington. First time in this Joey D’s. The place was very crowded when we arrived. Server was unattended, and neither of us got the meals we ordered, although she insisted it was what we ordered. Fries cold. Lunch mate had to ask for her fries twice.
Will give it a try again as the food when delivered was good. But service at 14^th is always good and s is good!

We’ve dined in once and had delivery once. The crispy crust never happened. Bad pizza. And the margarita pizza didn’t even resemble a margarita pizza. No more.

Not a good first impression, the food was terrible. I had a Chicago dog, fried calamari and a cheese steak sandwich. The Chicago dog was just ok, not much taste to it other than the sport peppers, the calamari tasted like it was frozen and heated in a microwave, and the cheese steak sandwich was also very bland and tasteless. The service was good, the restaurant is small and intimate which I prefer but it was also very hot, the air conditioning was broke and there was one fan blowing air in one direction only. Maybe I should’ve ordered pizza and wings and I would’ve been satisfied.

Amazing food! Best part of our visit was our waitress Maggie! Nicest waitress ever! Chicago style hot dog is a must!

If your looking for some awesome pizza this is the place to go. The crust was amazing and sausage was amazing. The service was quick and with a smile. The young that served us was very sweet and ensured everything was perfect. You will differently have 2 new customers for as long as your here.

The salad is not fresh at all. At least a day old. The beef tamale are one of those you heat in the microwave. And the Chicago deep dish pizza is not at all like the real thing. Pizza has no taste. This is misleading for those who know what a true Chicago deep dish pizza taste like. Overall I had better pizza at chuck e cheeses.

Can’t help but rave about this place. Not only do they have some of the best «Midwest comfort food» in three counties but they are very kind to our veterans! On behalf of myself and a local VFW post, thank you for your continued support!

We managed to get parking by arriving just past 5, which was lucky because spots are limited.
Service was great at first but the place got packed full quickly and you can tell that things were starting to back up. Still, it’s a new location and there were TV’s set up so my friend and I didn’t mind at all.
We had the chicken Parmesan spaghetti, cheese garlic bread, and Chicago pizza. My friend said her pizza was on point, and the cheese garlic bread was delicious. Unfortunately, my chicken parm was rather forgettable. The pasta wasn’t well salted and the chicken and marinara both lacked flavor.
Overall, it’s a nice place for a very filling meal but I’d probably go with pizza next time instead of the pastas.

I was very excited to go to this place, since there’s not too many Chicago pizza places around. The pizza is very delicious. I had the meat lovers and ate the next day the Italian beef sandwich, which was superb. You can tell when an entrée is good when you bit into it and it pulls apart. They also have TVs and a patio. The lunch specials and The service was decent. The only thing brings this place down is the parking, and dining area isn’t that big. But, I highly recommend if you have a pizza fix and your in the area.

First time coming into this property since they bought it from a recent restaurant a year ago.
This is now the third family franchised Chicago Eatery in the greater Sarasota Area.
I have ordered what I know, the Italian Beef sandwich with sweet peppers and a corn rolled tamale with fries.
My friend Mike ordered the Cheese Steak sandwich.
My Italian Beef was as expected and the tamale was cooked just right.
My friend’s Cheese Steak (per his say) was pretty tasty and filling.
He said the cheese had great flavor and the «steak» was marinated pretty good, too.
The only thing I could say is that this place being at it’s new location lacks parking! It is almost difficult to park at the restaurant itself. Hopefully they will lease some surrounding land to increase the parking space.
Other than that, the service was ok. I know being new and people still in training the service was a tad slow. But friendly.
I certainly will return — perhaps at a time where the busy-​hour has slowed down to find good parking spaces or «if» they get to use other lots nearby for their customers.
