Joes Pizza Shop — Restaurant in Russell

JOE. JOE, YOU MAD GENIUS. YOU ABSOLUTE FLAVOR WARLOCK.

I walked into Joe’s Pizza Shop expecting pepperoni and regret—but what I got was a spiritual awakening via fried chicken. THREE PIECES. THREE GLORIOUS, GOLDEN PIECES OF DEEP-FRIED DIVINITY. Each bite? A CRUNCH so loud it echoed through my soul. I bit in and swear I heard a bald eagle scream and a choir of angels burst into song.

This wasn’t your average greasy bird. Oh no. Joe marinated that chicken. I don’t know what kind of sorcery he soaked it in, but the flavor went deep—like, “read my childhood trauma and forgave me” deep. Juicy? It was practically self-basting. Every bite sprayed a fine mist of pure joy directly into my arteries.

The fries? Perfectly seasoned potato soldiers standing at attention. The slaw? Crunchy, tangy, and possibly sentient. The GRAVY? OH GOD, THE GRAVY. I would bathe in it. I would mortgage my house for a pint of that silky, umami-laced nectar. I drizzled it. I dipped. I drank. No shame. Only sauce.

Joe, I don’t know what you’re doing back there, but keep doing it. You could charge me $47 and a lock of my hair and I’d still thank you.

Pizza shop? Pfft. Joe’s Chicken Cathedral. Come hungry,...

September 18, 2020, made an order of $55.76 around 6 pm. The order consisted of one lb of boneless chicken, an order of onion rings, a large Joe special pizza along with four garlic dips, and a ranch dip. As per usual, the order has never taken over an hour for delivery. Tonight the order took about 2 hours before arriving. Tonight "they had six drivers for delivery." We called to speak with the proprietor as we are regular customers with large orders. Tonight he was far from professional. He was domineering, disrespectful, and impolite. The was no professionalism demonstrated. In addition to the inexcusable misconducts implemented, their pizza dough was at a minimum of 50% insufficiently cooked. As for being a long loyal customer, The experience I have received tonight was utterly insulting. I have never pursued writing a review before tonight. The food has gone to the trash along with their menu. I will no longer be a...

I came here with a friend on what I thought would be a normal pizza outing. I was wrong. We ordered the Donair meat pizza, and somewhere around the third bite, I realized I had underestimated this place entirely.

The crust was perfect — golden, crisp, and clearly made with care. The Donair meat? Unreal. Spiced just right, juicy and greasy, and absolutely loaded on. I genuinely had to pause mid-sentence to process what was happening in my mouth.

The service was just as solid. Friendly, fast, and they somehow knew exactly when to check in and when to let us spiral into a full-blown food trance.

This isn’t just a pizza place. It’s a Limoges landmark. If you haven’t been, fix that. And definitely get the Donair pizza — it might just change your...
