Jo Jo Carloni's Italian Restaurant & Pizzaria

With summer coming to a close, I am very happy that I made it to Jo Jo Carloni's to enjoy their patio. They have a really nice sail shade that cut the sun.Aspen, my pup, enjoyed some attention from some diners and the quick bowl of water from the server.I ordered the spicy arrabiata pizza and an ice cold beer. Everything was great (setting, service, pie and suds)! Dessert looked great but I was stuffed. Can't wait to go back.

Food - Absolutely on point!!Service - Efficient and PersonableAmbiance - The atmosphere was exactly what we wanted. The lights were low and the music playing was a perfect fit.We will be frequent guests for sure.

We love coming to JoJo's! We usually sit at the bar, where there are also some high tops, but the dining room is nice too. I'd recommend reservations for groups of 6+ (note that 20% gratuity is automatically added). They have a great selection of wine as well as rotating draft beers and craft cocktails. There's always a daily special too. We like going for their discounted small pizzas, and they have a great happy hour.

My husband and I got takeout during pizza week. It was a Friday night and they were really busy inside! We shared the lasagna and a pepperoni pizza. We loved them both! The pizza crust was perfectly crisp but still a little thick. We would definitely come back to try more.

We got takeout and the only thing I had was the meatballs with sauce so not a very complete review but posting to let you know their meatballs taste like they have sugar in them. The sauce as well so if that's not for you, pass.

As we entered the restaurant, there was a funky musk, chemical smell lingering... kinda threw me off. We were seated and well accommodated. The waitress/staff were very professional and provided great service. This kinda compensated for the funky smell as we entered.So, we had a party of 8, automatically... parties of 6 get charged 20% for service... wow... automatic. Kinda can't really complain because they were helpful and provided great service.They had a BYO pasta, super pricey at a whopping 28$ for a thin spaghetti pesto and grilled salmon... def was lacking flavor... maybe a bit more salt? The salmon did not have the fish/umami. My significant other felt "meh" about the meat lovers pasta. It was lacking and he wasn't a fan for the small pepperoni... it wasn't aesthetically pleasing. Was lacking flavor too.Original company was great and everyone was having an awesome time, even the FLY that would not leave our table...I did enjoy the chewy rolls they had, no sarcasm. They were flavorful, warmed to perfection with EVOO and balsamic vinaigrette.All in all, off putting, food was a hit or miss... but service was great!

Nice restaurant friendly staff good drinks happy hour all day on Tuesday's at the bar and lounge area good pizza good drinks nice atmosphere

We have been here for dinner before, but this time we came for happy hour. On Tuesdays, Happy Hour is ALL DAY!!!! Wednesday - Saturday it's 3-6pm. There is a VERY nice drink selection for Happy Hour. The drinks we had (Cosmo and Manhattan) were both deliciousWe had the garlic bread and cheese (yummy), the stuffed eggplant (so good), the calamari (very good), and a Mexican pizza (very spicy and VERY good)This was our first time for Happy Hour and it definitely will NOT be our last!!!

Four of us went based on the recommendation of one person who was local. He does a lot of takeout. He raved about several dishes but they were no longer in the menu. They had a Special Mac and cheese but wouldn't do a half order. Most Italian restaurants will do 1/2 orders of pasta because that is typically a first course in Italy. This place was more Italian american versus Italian. I got the margherita pizza with mushrooms and arugula. Thin crust pizza not very good. I specifically asked for raw arugula but it was partially cooked. I wanted to add grated cheese but could not get anyone's attention. Seriously, No one looked up. I was almost done the pizza by the time my frantic arm waving got someone's attention. The guy who got the burger said it was bad. The woman who got the walla walla was not pleased. My other friend got the chicken parm. She said it was good and ate the whole thing. She did not like the side of pasta that came with it and did not eat it. I ended with the spumoni ice cream and it was delicious!Music loud and not a great sound system.

Pros: Food was delicious. Attentive wait staff. We had a reservation; the place was very busy on a Friday night. Appreciated the extra touches like cloth napkins, decent flatware and candle on table. We shared a piece of Italian chocolate cake after dinner and it was marvelous. Slight inconvenience: skimpy on the bread and server whisked away the oil for dipping before we had finished. But not worth taking away a star. :)
