Pappy's Family Pub

Chicken Parmesan and lasagna are both excellent thank you to the chef and the waitresses!

Good food, good prices and lively atmosphere. We had the pierogi pizza and salads. Yum! Loved the crust on the pizza too!!

Terrible service. Many times over. So slow and very little care given about it. Will not return.

I have been to Pappy's multiple times since my initial review over eight years ago. Each visit cements the fact that this is some good food that brings your back. I have tried many things on the menu over the years from appetizers to entrees to pizza, and all of them are quite possibly some of the best items you can find in the Johnstown area.The most recent visit was one of the COVID era. If you were wondering, social distancing is enforced, plexiglass shields are up to protect from other diners, and people are full force using the take out, pick up, and drive thru window. Yes, this place has a drive thru window, so call your order in ahead of time and just swing around to the window and pick it up as you pass through.I'm not going to go much into the menu, I'm just going to dive into the item I had ordered. I waivered back and forth and just kind of blurted out what I wanted when it came time to order. I was in the mood for something hearty and something that would fill me up. I opted for their Chicken Parmigiana. The menu describes it as two chicken breast that are breaded, fried and topped with marinara and cheese, that all goes on top of a bed of spaghetti. What I pictured in my head were two moderate sized chicken breasts, not the mammoth ones I got. Each one was nearly as big as my face. Each one was fit to be a meal by itself. These were not thin at all, they had a good thickness to them. The breading was perfectly season and believe it or not, held up the crispiness. The marinara is made in house, so you know it's fresh and to top all that with that amount of cheese made me the happiest person in there. Fresh piece of garlic bread is served with this behemoth of a meal. Without having to say it, this had a good portion come home with me.I also should mention that I got the pepperoni rolls appetizer as well. And the meal came with a side salad. So that was a lot of food for me. Probably didn't help that I had a Orange Crush Float as my drink to start, so soda and ice cream. I was sufficiently full when we left here and happy to say that I had leftovers to take as my lunch to work the next day.The two reasons I can't bump this up to five stars is that no matter what time of day it is in here, it always has a gloomy feeling to it. I know that kind of gives it its charm, but it's always so dim, unless you sit in the sun room on a sunny day. The other reason is the timing that the food comes out. My meal came out quite a bit later than the pizzas that the rest of my party ordered. I kept wondering if they forgot to make my order for a time. Each time the server walked by it was so fast that I couldn't ask her what was up with my food.Oh, if you want a gut-buster of a meal, make sure to look for the Great Grand Pappy. Two grilled cheese sandwiches sub in for your bun. Totally worth the gluttonous feeling you have afterwards.

All I can say is this place has always and forever be a family favorite for kids and grandparents. Thank you Kerry!

Love the food and atmosphere. There is a bench where kids can watch their pizza being made. There is also an arcade, but not all the games work. There is a drive through pickup window too.

This location has been in business for over 40 years! That's great to see! If you visited as a kid, not much had changed with the decor. You can still view your pizza being made, there's a juke box and a large game room. Check out the Game room - some very unique "vintage" games. Really neat! We ordered two pizzas. Unfortunately one arrived way over cooked. We quickly found our waitress who happily returned the pizza for a much better one. Pappy's offers a great value - bring your family here! They have half priced pizza specials on certain nights. They also serve - spaghetti, Stromboli, sandwiches, Chicken, salads, etc. Years ago when visiting, they had trivia night which was a lot of fun.

The lady at the front seating people was terribly rude slammed our menus down and walked away. Waited an hour for 1 pizza and our other food was forgotten, horrible service. Coming from a server for over 10 years this establishment should feel embarrassed . I've been eating here since I was a kid and the food and service all around is nothing like it used to be. Pappys has officially lost its touch.

Foods great, staff is very attentive, the atmosphere is calming. I like the place. I would recommend this

Waited for 10 minutes for a waiter/waitress to approach me so I could order a pizza to go and the waitress said I was 5 minutes to late to order, but after arguing with her for 5 minutes she finally asked me what would I like to order. She was not very professional with how she handled things.
