Joe's Pasta & Pizza — Restaurant in Abilene

Although I'm not a regular customer; from past occasion visits to this fast-food business establishment, I've had employees recognize me...not necessary, but definitely a plus in knowing before-hand a particular customer's likes/dislikes in food preference(s) dishes.The employees/staff go beyond helping their customers in the knowledge (freshness, how prepared, prices, etc...) of said dishes offered. The times I did frequent this establishment there was always a eroua of excitement for pre-teens, teens, as well as young/adults. The wait from entering, sitting down, ordering, being served was definitely short at best...a good quality for a "fast-food" business. I'm certainly not in any form/fashion/way a health inspector but, from the smells (kinda blended in w/various types foods being prepared), sights, & touches of area to actually consume the finished product... appeared to be clean/sanitized & in compliance w/health care protocols/procedures/COVID-19 policies. I've checked around a little, since I conduct/partake in surveys/reviews/comments on similar "fast-food" type business establishment...this business' rates/billing for same type foods are consistent and/or equal in dollar(s) value with other businesses offering similar service(s) within a certain area catered to a certain type (i.e: ppl who love pizza & pasta/etc). My apologies for such a LONG review...hey, my two daughters & I happen to LOVE (in reference to all the above positive qualities) this particular place that'd truly give a similar place (ex: Ch_cky Ch_ _se [Oops!]) a run for its quality service(s) in ALL areas. I'd most definitely recommend this business establishment to extended/immediate family, friends, & the general public. If your owners/manager(s), and/or franchise doesn't mind, I do promote businesses to the various social media websites platform(s) that I'm assigned/affiliated with on a persistent/consistent...

My mother and i recently ate there and honestly it was terrible. First my mom asked for extra Riccada cheese in her calzone and they didnt Then after getting my alfrado there was a hair on the plate But i assumed it was mine (my hair is mint green almost blonde and about 6 inches brown roots ) after pretty much finishing my pasta i found anothet hair and decided to look at it closer since my hair is up and it was grey maybe blonde and too short to be mine. I put it to the side and was about to eat some bread and there was a small black hair on it. My mom then told the front who sent who i think was the owner (he has short black hair keep in mind) which when he got there made the biggest scene, he yelled and pointed out that my food was almost gone and wouldnt even listen to us. He literally yelled that he was trying to embarrass us in front of everyone there. The place is very un professional. The food wasnt worth the price and ill never go there again. I hope this will...

I never write reviews but this experience was so bizarre I feel compelled to warn people. We decided to try Joes based on reviews but I have to assume they are paying for 5 star reviews. This was possibly the worst pizza dinner I’ve ever had. We ordered (delivery) a cheese pizza, focaccia, and a Greek Salad. I’m not sure if the cook knows what focaccia is, but what we got was a sub roll cut up with slices of tomato and cheese on top. The Greek salad was literally just iceberg lettuce with a couple of pepperocini, canned olives, and feta. They didn’t have a Greek or Italian dressing option so we ordered “house” dressing assuming it’d be some sort of oil and vinegar. It was watered down pizza sauce as far as I can tell, truly disgusting. The cheese pizza was edible but flavorless with hockey puck crust that could break a tooth. They also included a frozen croissant for some reason. This was a huge waste of time and money and so, so...
