Honest John's Pizzeria Second St — Restaurant in Jamestown

I give honest johns 5 out of 5 stars because it’s a great small business . But one thing I would recommend as a business college student . The apple pie pizza … let’s talk about it in terms of a SWOT analysis . So right now the pizza isn’t selling well and instead of doing a SWOT analysis on the pizza and making it better to bring in more revenue they’re just giving it away until they run out and it’s bye bye pizza . Let’s start with the S which is for strengths … the pizza is great and super delicious but W which is for weaknesses , the pizza is dry . O for opportunity , y’all could use the apples you already have and make a juicy base out of it , not spending anymore money on it and making more profit . T which is for threat . The threat being missing out on a great opportunity to make some more money. I’m turn, I think you guys should just make an apple based sauce for the pizza because the pizza is super delicious , just dry . All in all it’s a great business opportunity that’s being spoiled right now . Especially with fall coming in, you could even use a generic- business strategy by investing in some apple cider and give away a free 1/2 gallon of cider whenever you buy 5 or more of the apple pie pizzas . Get punch cards and when they punch enough give ‘em a free apple cider 1/2 gallon. Just what I’d personally do , but...

Updated review! May 2024 4.5 star! YUMMY! Super friendly staff that are attentive, helpful, and fast. Amazing pizza buffet,penne pasta, stuffed pepper soup, salad bar, dessert pizza, and wing refill. Everything was delicious! Only slight thing was the first batch of wings that were in the buffet were on the drier sauce side and softer side when we first got there. I asked for Buffalo sauce they gave me to dip in which was so good! This is only a preference thing on my end. They had a great flavor though and 5 minutes after we got there they were replaced with absolutely perfect saucier hotter crisper wings we went nuts over. Such perfect wings! I highly recommend the buffet. Perfectly priced buffet value.

I hadn't been there in over 3 years because of a bad takeout experience with teenagers running it. I think it was a fluke experience. I'm so glad I stopped back in because the staff were perfect this time. The pizza was so much better this time too. I couldn't be happier. I'll be back for sure.

3+ years ago: 2.5 star. Staff are pretty rude or impersonal sometimes. There is a long wait time on mediocre to average gas station quality pizza. Good...

First time to enjoy the wings at Honesty John's. My inlaws eat here on a regular basis with the waitress recognizing them. We had the buffet with included the pizza, Buffalo wings, pasta, etc., and a separate salad bar. The pizza had nice flavor and there were two different type crusts. The thicker crust had a bit more crunch and was my favorite. The wings were the real star. Not all hot wings are cooked with respect. These were crispy yet not over done and had a balanced sauce with a medium heat. There were several other dishes, a pasta, a rice, baked chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, also on the buffet. The blue cheese dressing was good and chunky and the ranch dressing is house made with a nice dill flavor. I'll plan to return on my next trip. There is a second location in Lakewood and I'm told the quality is very good there too. P.S. A small after meal ice cream sundae is offered and was a sweet way to...
