Reviews for Joe's Italian Bistro in Allen, TX
Birthday dinner. Showed up around 5:30 pm. No issues getting seated. Shortly after we had been there, the dinner rush hit and... all tables filled up. Ordered fried calamari ($10.99), stuffed mushrooms ($9.99), and Joe's salad ($7.99) for appetizers. Allwere fair with decent portion sizes. We then had two XL pizzas for our party of six. The XL 18" Joe's Special ($20.99) and XL18" Hawaiian ($20.99) were plenty for everyone. Only recommendation would be for the temp to be hotter so that the crust iscrispy rather than limp and soggy. Service was standard though everyone was friendly and did their best to be attentive. Wortha shot if you're looking for Italian in the area. Read more
I don't know why it took so long to bring waters. I would think it's easy to fill up three cups with water. Maybe the be... waitress got busy chatting in the kitchen who knows. It felt at least 15 min and there were hardly anyone there. Two othertables. Everything just took a long time. My chicken was tough . I won't be coming here again. I was bummed out because it'sclose to our home and want it to be our go-to place. Read more
Joe's Italian Bistro is a local Italian diner that fits the stereotypical strip shopping center Americanized version of Italian... food. With that being said, the food is pretty decent. When my daughter and I had a regular weekday lunch there, there werefour older ladies having a get together there talking about their life and family (I tried not to eavesdrop...but they spokevery clearly to my table)...which is really what a restaurant is all about (shared experiences over meal). In regards to ourmeal, the pizza is pretty good (I did enjoy the anchovies...which is not typically served at other establishments), though notmemorable. My daughter thought her children's portion of lasagna was tasty. So overall, it is a nice place to go if you livein Allen and want something local and Italian as well as desire something other than Olive Garden. Read more
Absolutely loved this place. It?s a hometown small non chain pizza and Italian food eatery. The service was great and they were... very quick. The food was great and the prices were very reasonable. We will be coming back again with the family. Read more
Joe's is great! My family and I have been there 2x now and everything we've ordered has been fantastic. Looking forward to our... next visit! Read more
First time ordering from Joe?s. My son had the baked Ziti and really liked it but did say he wishes it was a bit more saucy. I?m... a sauce person as well so I understand. Overall he said the flavor was really good. I sampled one of the garlic bread rolls andthey were phenomenal! Wife and I shared a pizza with typical supreme deluxe toppings and it was good. When trying to matchflavor I would say like Papa Murphy?s but with a lot less salt which is nice. It?s a solid ?????? pizza. Overall I?m giving 4stars as they are more than pizza. Read more
Such a beautiful place, I had the seafood combo. Had shrimp, calamari, muscles, and clams a little on the soupy side but good.... The waiter was really nice she did a great job making sure we were good on everything. Read more
We love Joe?s. Better than average food (not exceptional, but good) and a friendly team of employees. They, like everyone else,... have raised their prices, but still are pretty reasonable. We have tried just about every pizza place in the area and this isthe closest we have found to actual NY style. It isn?t a great compliment though because the pizza in the area is mostlyterrible. Their rolls are great though, and they offer a legit calzone with ricotta (although I typically order mine withextra.) Their dining area is tight though, I wish they had a bit more space inside but their location is pretty convenient, wetypically get the food to go. Read more
