I must be missing something because the pizza was so bad we threw it out. It was dry, the sauce has no flavor, and the crust tastes like cardboard. The chicken parmesan was not any better. The chicken was rubbery, the pasta overcooked and the sauce once again lacking any flavor. 2 stars because the blueberry cheesecake is really delicious.
Ordered 3 steak dinners 1 medium rare ,it was medium well and Ordered 2 medium well they were so well done it was dry and like chewing leather. I called and they said they would switch them out . I said im not driving all the way back there ..( we live by Rockford Speedway ) they said well we'll give you a 20 dollar credit... really .....20 bucks for 96 bucks....dont add up ....i should have took a video of me trying to squeeze juice out of it...
Sucks! Can't order what you want! Have to order it their way or no way. If I'm paying for it and willing to pay extra for it, I should be able to get what I want. I wasn't asking for anything un reasonable. Just an extra piece of meat. I'll take my business elsewhere and tell anyone who asks to go elsewhere.
Are pizza was a little dry there was not enough sauce but it tasted okay just okay however delivery was $5 and the delivery person acted as if I lived miles and miles away I literally is a little over 5 miles away from the restaurant that's not that far he acted as if he was put out and expected more of a tip I gave him $2 with a $5 delivery fee that 7 Bucks I don't have that kind of money and he gets at least half of that I used to deliver pizzas and I got that delivery charge when I delivered pizzas that was part of my pay plus they paid me a paycheck so I probably won't be ordering from John's pizza ever again because I wasn't thrilled with the food or the delivery
We’ve been eating at John’s since 1983. The pizza, pasta, and fish are all excellent! John, himself, regularly visits each table to welcome you and ensure everything is prepared to your satisfaction. Owned and run by great family people! Have a scoop of spumoni for dessert!
Very good pizza and Italian food. Gotta love the family run atmosphere! Everything made fresh. Always pay a visit to Johns when in the area.
This is one of the best restaurants in Rockford! My husband and I order delivery for his mom every week. Jen typically takes our order and she personally makes sure the driver contacts us before delivery to my mother-in-laws. They go above and beyond! The service is exceptional and the food is delicious!
My husband called and asked if they still had curbside. He talked to a woman we learned name was Marie. Very nice lady she said they didn't but it wouldn't be a problem. For my husband to just call when he got there. So I ordered online. A woman called to say they didn't have curbside. She was so put out and I mean she was just so put out over it. I would say on the side of being rude. My husband tells her we called and asked and what we were told.To show how little professio
My husband called and asked if they still had curbside. He talked to a woman we learned name was Marie. Very nice lady she said they didn't but it wouldn't be a problem. For my husband to just call when he got there. So I ordered online. A woman called to say they didn't have curbside. She was so put out and I mean she was just so put out over it. I would say on the side of being rude. My husband tells her we called and asked and what we were told.To show how little professionalism they have, the woman says Marie told them they could to some guy who was saying something in the background. Instead of going oh ok and dealing with it when they got off the phone. But basically, it was they could but no guarantee; hopefully, there would be someone to bring it out. I told my husband just to go in. If they wanted to act so badly about it. So he does the woman he had talked to originally was so apologetic and he said he felt badly for.. It would have been one thing if the food was good. But the pizza was undercooked, and the spaghetti I paid $3 extra for meat sauce, which was maybe 3 tablespoons of meat sauce on top of the noodles . I'm glad I had jarred sauce; otherwise, I would basically have had plain noodles. Oh and the $2 processing fee I guess , just place the order. Never again. They are definitely not what they used to be. $45.00 for a thin crust 2 topping pizza and a spaghetti and garlic bread, oh yeah lets not forgot those 3 tablespoons of meat sauce that were a dollar each.
I just threw my $74.22 along with the food in the trash. WASTED. I ordered a thin crust X-Large pizza, fettuccine alfredo and lasagne. DISGUSTING. The pizza is by far one of the worst pizzas I have had in Rockford. My entire family of 4 hated the pizza, ate one bite and was done. I love pizza and being from Chicago have had the best. The crust was chewy and the cheese not melted but solid. Gross. The fettuccine was a bland, creamy, garlic mess with no seasoning (salt and pepper) and did not have parm. The lasagne was horrible. It was basic noodle, cheese, and ground beef and was bland with no seasoning. I never had such a basic and bland lasagne. The worst of the dish was the tomato sauce. It was unbearably sweet that it tasted like pure sugar my family scrapped it off. The side of soup was minestrone and revolting. It tasted like watered down tomatoes and the vegetables were mushy. It didn’t even have pasta! The other side was the side salad and I have never seen a more pathetic side salad in my life (picture for reference) with store brand salad dressing packets not even homemade Italian dressing. They also included two crackers and two sides of bread but no butter and with the pizza they don’t give you parmesan packets or crushed red peppers like literally every Italian restaurant. The restaurant just screams cheep and fast food, not sit down dinning. Even before I was disgusted with the food I got home with the order because it was carry out( granted I should of checked the order before I left) but IT IS NOT my responsibly to make sure my simple order is correct, it’s the restaurants. THE RESTAURANT FORGOT THE CHEESECAKE and I live 30 MINUTES away from Rockford. I honestly wanted to bring my food back and get a refund because the amount of money I spent on the food and having to toss and reorder from another restaurant is ridiculous. I was so beyond annoyed and hungry at this point. I drove back to the restaurant to get my cheesecake and picked up my new order for dinner from Old Chicago and was beyond comparison to this restaurant. Do. Not. Eat. Here. The positive reviews are from long time loyal customers of the owner and not accurate reviews. I’ve included pictures for evidence.
