J & G Pizza Palace

Had dinner there with family and friends last Friday. Truth be told, I've been going to J & G's since the early 70s when I was a student at Hill View! It's a time warp and rite of passage for any kid that grew up in Sylvania! I think the only thing that's changed in the old dining room is the flooring.My go-to is always the Greek salad, Gyro dinner and house special pizza. There's no way one person could eat this (not even me!), but I'll die trying every time. Their Greek salad is one of the simplest salads of all time. Iceberg lettuce, a tomato slice, a few Greek olives and a saganaki pepper or two. There's a huge slab of feta (has to be a slab of feta, no crumbles) and the world's best Greek dressing of all time. Amazingly simple and oh so good!The gyros aren't as fatty as they were when I was a kid and that's kind of a shame (at least they're not as fatty as I remember them being back when). This isn't health food and fat is flavor. Besides, this is a once every other month or so kind of thing. These are better eaten at the restaurant as the meat gets kind of dry by the time you get home, and the tzatziki gets warm.The pizza is a one-of-a-kind thing here. The crust if amazingly thin (I call it matzoh pizza). It has tons of cheese, not too much sauce and just the right amount of toppings. Be warned though, they get busy and the pizza orders back up. We were able to get a table in about 30 minutes, but the pizza orders were backed up for an hour. Some advice would be to order your pizza once you get your name in for the table. Tell them it's an order for the dining room, but you're getting the order in because of the back up. Make sure you tell the waitress this too!!! If things work out correctly, all of the food should come relatively close to the same time.If you're not into gyros, the beef kabobs are GREAT. So is the spaghetti.Oh, the BEER!!! They have a brewery now and the beers are pretty darned good. I tried the IPA for the ALS support (sorry, I can't remember the exact name, but it's a great beer!). They also have a full bar now. Back when it was nothing but really questionable Greek wines (come on, does anyone really like retsina? Is mavrodaphne really pancake syrup)? They did have chianti, but not great chianti.If you've not been here, give it a try. You won't be dissapointed!

My sister and I came here on a busy Saturday evening. We ordered a drink and fried pepperoni to begin with. I had never had fried pepperonis before so it was interesting. Not sure I would get again but enjoyed trying. The lamb was good but kinda tough. I enjoyed the fries. Overall the food was good and drinks were great.

This review is for the food. They have a new concept with a full bar and taproom. Exciting to see in downtown Sylvania. We ordered a small Greek Salad that came loaded with veggies, olives and slab of feta, more than enough to share and delicious. The J&G pizza special was served fresh and hot. The crust was so crispy and buttery, the cheese could have been more golden but hey I think that's more of a personal taste. The pizza is cut into diagonal diamonds. Toppings were on point also served with Parmesan and pepper flakes. It's a delicious home made pizza, but don't expect an authentic Italian pizza, it's not. Q

I loved this little small Greek heaven in the middle of OH. The salad dressing and feta on the fresh Greek salad is authentic and delicious. Best spinach pie of my life . We also tried the house thin sliced pizza and it was so delicious it disappeared before I had a chance to take a picture. We sat by the bar by a very friendly bartender from Greece who made a mean margarita. Loved the ambiance and atmosphere here.

Great Bar / Pizza joint in which they don't serve dinner til 1600 but the pizza / gyro sliders avail during lunch hours. Thin crust. Friendly staff , bar ambience . 4 tv'sz good selection on the bar. I shall repeat for sure . Pizza is great

Friday night take-out of Greek salad and gyros. The pick up time quoted was correct. Staff was polite, courteous and freindly. The gyro sandwiches are stuffed high of meat as in you can't pick them up. We enjoy their food, period. J & G is another one of those long-time Sylvania businesses that we locals love generation after generation.

Been going here my whole life. It's a staple for our family. Everything has always been so amazing. Service is great food it amazing. Since the renovation food has taken a little longer to come out of the kitchen but that's to be expected. With delivery apps and togos they get on top of all the restaurants dine in orders. Over all still after 40 years this is a must try. House special pizza Is our go to. We add bacon. Also the Greek salad... lamb kabob and cheese bread our some of our favorites. Gyro is to die for as well. Great rice and spaghetti as well.

Recently J&G pizza opened and is connected to the Dallas Taproom. During lunch only the Taproom side was open and they serve a limited J&G menu like pizzas, appetizers, and salads. The service was prompt and friendly. The interior of the taproom is industrial modern, while J&G is completely vintage retro. The Greek salad is 5 stars for sure. The small is enough to share, especially if you're getting pizza. The pizza was really good and I would describe as a homemade style with a crackery crust. Sit down pizza restaurants are mostly a thing of the past, but this place is definitely worth the trip. I was surprised by the restaurant having such a low rating. Let's help fix that by giving this place a shot and posting a review.

Review is for take-out only. A pal and I were just 10 mins from J&G Pizza Palace and were watching The OPEN Championship. We placed an order for a large sausage, black olive, and double cheese pizza to pickup. True to their word, they said 20 mins and it was ready when we arrived. Caution: Double cheese turned a great pizza into a good one. Cheese on thick cheese. It was our fault - next time, order the pizza as is. Very tasty pizza at J&G Piazza.

Having lived in sylvania my whole life I have been here quite a few times. I have heard nothing but good reviews over the years. I was highly disappointed by my experience today after having not been here for some years. I insisted my boyfriend try it for the first time and he was satisfied. My concern is that I have a dairy allergy. I get my pizzas without cheese (I know, crazy, but I don't like vegan cheese). Obviously the pizza will then become a little more dry. My pizza was a sad excuse for a pizza. I got the small and it's already thin crust, but it was ROCK HARD. Why did it have to be cooked that long? As a company well known and loved for their pizzas, you would think they would make a good thin crust if that's all they offer.... Thanks for my charred toppings on cardboard. (:
