This review is based upon a takeout experience only. Dining in may be a different experience. So basically, I ordered a pizza to go. Little Joey's is a little tight inside, but not drastically so. Pick up at the counter in the rear was not bad. The staff were friendly and I was on my way quickly.
The pizza itself is now the second pizza that I consider good. It being a New York style, I found it good with decent crust and taste. It's not quite NY pizza, but it's pretty good. I have now found two restaurants that make good NY style pizza.
The price seemed reasonable for the product. Yes anyone would like it less expensive. But little Joey's didn't seem over priced by any means. As such, I gave Little Joey's five stars because they actually make a decent pizza in Florida. It's great that I now have two places to get decent pizza in the area. I now need to find the time to try out a sit down meal.
Food is always delicious. This small place is always packed when we’ve gone there which tells you how good it is. On our latest visit our waitress, Sara, was the most amazing and efficient waitress I’ve ever encountered. We’ve ordered many different items and all were awesome. Ocala has more restaurant options than most places I’ve been, but this one is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back every time I’m in the area.
Reasonable prices, friendly staff and good food. Joey's is one of our go to restaurants. Their servings are very generous and always go home with leftovers.
Update: as usual another great meal at Little Joey's. This restaurant is very popular and busy at certain times, so come with your patience it is worth the wait. The staff is always welcoming.
What a great place! So glad we found it! Food was excellent. We had the best pizza! Service was great, server was friendly & efficient. We will definitely be going back again & again! Can’t wait to try their pasta dishes etc.. 😊
Authentic and good. The crust had a great consistency and taste. Their sauce was tomatoey and there was enough of it.
Great service. Had the two for $20. The lasagna is nice and meaty. Great flavor and cheesy. The chicken parm was moist and flavorful. The pasta fagoil is more heavy beans than what I'm used to but was not greasy. Definitely recommend. Bread was amazing fresh.
This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the Ocala area. 1st time we tried this place. We werenot disappointed. The food is great, and the staff is awesome. A definite must-try when you are in the area.
Food is always good. Waited on our pizza a lot longer than normal.Waitresses are always friendly.
I came back to Ocala after 10 years and this restaurant still amazing as always. Alfredo tortellini is my favorite. You know it's going to be authentic Italian when they speak Italian. I recommend this place.
Little Joey's is our go to for anything Italian. We appreciate their daily specials and their friendly staff. We haven't found a lot of restaurants we like in Ocala but LJ's is certainly at the top of our list! 🍕
I visited Little Joey's when I was little, almost 20 years ago with my late grandmother. It was her favorite restaurant in town. I was traveling through today and made sure to stop in for lunch. They make their own pasta fresh and the meat sauce was great as well. Fried mushrooms were good and the batter actually stays on instead of crumbling off like others' often does. Definitely worth the side trip. :)
Best pizza place in Ocala! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The white pizza is amazing but so is everything else! We will be back often!
I'm new to Florida and have tried many pizza places. BUT Little Joey's was the best. Something to say from a NJ girl.
We had a lovely time. The pizza was great, my husband loved his spaghetti. Service was wonderful!
Great pizza place! We have been going for years. I highly recommend the white pizza with bacon and tomatoes, yum.
Wow. This place knocked my socks off. Very welcoming and friendly staff, amazing food of which we ordered a lot, and excellent variety on the menu. Keep up the great work. We were visiting my Pops who is a regular and said we had to get it for dinner. We were all full and very pleased to say the least.
*Updated review 9/8/23, ordered a ton of food for the family on a Friday night. They had it ready for pickup with no issues. Food was amazing as always when we visit Ocala. You guys rock and I'm sorry for the big order on a Friday night!!
