Zio Joe’s Pizza is an awesome find in the Lake Worth area if you are seeking a cozy pizzeria that serves up classic slices and specialty pies that taste just like the pizzerias in NYC. Owned by a family with Brooklyn roots, it’s no wonder the food tastes delicious. Coming from Brooklyn myself, I decided to dine in by ordering a couple of regular slices—a good first order to determine the quality of a place.

The crust was not too thick or thin and nice and crispy throughout the entire slice. It was not greasy and I could tell the sauce and cheese were made from fresh ingredients—each bite packing a lot of flavor. Like their motto says, it was “A Slice of Heaven!”. I was so impressed (but stuffed!) that I just had to order an entree to have later that night. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and some plain rice balls. Even after re-heating, the eggplant was delicious—cut thin, not rubbery, with a nice flavoring on the breadcrumbs. The sauce was also tasty and the rice balls were as good as they taste in Brooklyn. Now I can’t wait to come back and try out some specialty pies and different entrees. I also have to say that the environment at Zio Joe’s is very homely and comfortable. You could see in the decor and the pictures on the wall honoring family members and locations around NY that this place and the cooking that goes on here means a lot to this family. When you have a family that cares along with the talents of cooking and using fresh ingredients, you’ll always have a winner. There’s not much more I can say except, “come to Zio Joe’s as soon as you’re hungry to truly experience “A...

Read moreWhen I say I am beyond disappointed in my lunch order today… idk if it’s because it’s too hot in there to function but I paid $14.64 for a Daily lunch special, Add pepperoni and fries. Now they advertise it being “FRY FRI” add fry to your order just for $3.25. However I was charged their regular price $6.19 for fries being added to my order. My fries were soggy and un eatable to say the least. I’m mad I was charged for a pepperoni and didn’t receive it and I’m pissed I paid $6.19 for fries that was supposed to be discounted. Maybe you guys do better in the late/afternoon but I will not be back for lunch especially being charged extra and not getting...
