This is our first visit, and there were plenty of parking spaces available. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we liked the spacious, bright, and clean interior. After finding our seats, we went to the counter to place our order.I don't like overly sour flavors, and the pizza here has plenty of cheese and is delightfully sweet. The pizza sauce isn't too sour, but you can still taste the freshness of the tomatoes. The kids were also very satisfied. My husband ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was generous in portion size and tasted very authentic. He really enjoyed it.We were too full to order dessert, but we loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. We plan to visit again for dessert next time.

Pizza John's is THE SPOT for pizza in Baltimore. Fresh ingredients, exceptional quality control, made to order. If you don't like their pizza, there's no hope for you. Service is the best you will find anywhere and it feels like stepping back in time because you don't get service like this from other restaurants (especially Maria). I don't know how they perfected making the pepperoni cook into perfect little grease cups but there is a level of precision involved that would make NASA envious. 5 stars is not enough.Parking: Massive parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible

A classic Baltimore staple, must go-to for pizza! Fun little self serving restaurant where you order your food, find your our own seat and grab your own food from the counter once ready. Very reasonably priced. Love the options for dessert here too. Always clean and friendly.Kid-friendliness: kid friendly - very

There is nothing like homemade dough, sauce, and fresh toppings like this place serves up daily. Their subs and pasta dishes are just as good.A nice thick Sicilian with lots of cheese and pepperoni is what I came here for. And it was tasty fresh and hot out of the oven. And cold for breakfast.It's worth every penny!

Pizza Johns has the best Pizza in Maryland. It is fresh with the perfect amount of ingredients. The pepperoni are abundant, little saucers throughout. Plenty of mozzarella that covers the whole pizza. The sauce is tomatoes and the right amount of spices and the crust is cooked just right. The restaurant is for family fun. You order your pizza and when your number is called you pick it up at the counter. They have lots of other foods as well, subs, pasta, wings and the best old style crinkle fries. You can’t go wrong. We’ve been going there for 30 years. Family owned and Not Papa Johns! Day and night! It is the best!! Oh great meatballs and sausage!!

Love this place!! It's a great atmosphere! Lots of authentic Italian food with so much variety! We enjoyed pepperoni pizza and veal parmigian. I wish I could recall the name of the dear lady that served is; she was so sweet! My former students, their mom, and I had a ball! Oh, and the desserts!! All looking homemade and done with care. I will be having my next celebration their for sure! Stop by and grab a couple of their fresh made pizzas to be baked at home instead of going to the grocery store. Great for family movie night!! Can't wait to visit with my while family!! Thank you!Vegetarian options: There are a variety of vegetarian options, like salads, veggie and cheese pizza and pasta shells, and so much more!Parking: Lots of spaces! It is very convenient and there handicapped spaces near the front door.Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming to the whole family! They offer larger groups and have the space that make it comfortable.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped spaces near the front of the restaurant make it very easy to access by wheel chair. The aisles are wide enough to allow for a wheelchair or scooter .

While I did not visit the location in person I did purchase one of the frozen cheese pizzas from a store in the Greenspring Station. For quite awhile I have thought to give it a try and today I did. I baked the pizza according to the instructions and I must say it was one of the best tasting pizzas I have tasted in quite awhile. That says volumes from a person born in Brooklyn, NY who has experienced some of the best tasting pizzas from that city. The pizza I purchased tasted nothing like store bought frozen pizza. My pie was a perfect balance of great tasting cheese and sauce. If this frozen pizza tasted this great I absolutely must visit Pizza John's in person.

Definitely one of the best pizza places in the area. Their pizza has excellent flavor, perfect texture, and perfect temperature. It’s not as cheap as some of the chain pizza joints. But you get what you pay for. We live 50minutes away, and make the road trip just for the pizza. It’s a destination.Parking: Ample parking.

The atmosphere at Pizza Johns is pretty cool and It's great how much seating there is. The pizza is good fresh and even tasted good heating up the next day. The highlight of my order though was the Italian sub with everything. The sub roll was soft and sturdy. The ratio of meat to toppings to bread was perfect as well. I will definitely be back.

A classic Italian-American pizza spot that is family operated offering great service and great pizza. The ordering counter system is efficient and I was happy that one can buy a single slice, which is great way to rest out a spot. I ordered the classic cheese, the sauce was great and the crust was nice ( best time I’ll request it “well-done”) it’s heavy on the cheese, so that will make many happy. This place is classic and I recommend it. The restaurant is big and perfect for large groups.

This family owned restaurant has been a popular community destination for locals through numerous generations. I know that my family went there when I was a kid and now I take my own there as well. The restaurant is big and has plenty of seating. Parking is convenient. The food is fantastic and portions are large. Customer service is top notch. Prices aren't cheap - BUT the quality is the best. Nobody can beat their pizza! It is worth the trip and money.Parking: Plenty of close parkingKid-friendliness: Many kid friendly menu choices. Plus ice cream and milkshakes!

Very laid back, nice family restaurant. We celebrated a birthday party and it worked out great there. We reserved a large table which was ready for us when we arrived. You order your food and pay first then they call your number when it's ready. Delicious cheesy pizza and fresh crunchy salads. The staff is friendly but they don't really have servers that wait on you so don't expect it. We had a nice lady who would clear dishes for us though and we tipped her.

I saw the good reviews and thought "oh I just have to see what the hype is about" The pizza is so freakin' delicious! OMG... This is my new favorite pizza spot. It was the dough/crust for me. This pizza needed nothing on it and taste even better later or next day. Salad was fresh and served in huge portions. Ms. Sharon was the best! She will take great care of you and she provides stellar customer service. Upon entering the restaurant we were a bit confused because everyone was just walking around. But this was our first time and we quickly found out that it was self seating and you have to order your food at the counter first. The butterpecan milkshake was to die for. So rich and served with a wide open straw for all of those delicious pecans. We will definitely be returning and next time we'll think about bringing our 3 little monsters lol.

Oh man, did this live up to the hype. It's hard to find genuinely good pizza in this area, especially Glen Burnie. We heard about this restaurant and it was well worth the drive. This is a big operation, popular, and delivers across the country for a reason -- it's the real deal. There's plenty of dining space and very sweet and attentive staff to assist you at your table if needed. Everything was quickly made and tasted amazing, especially the wings. The pizza was just perfect and every one we saw at other tables looked fantastic. You can't go wrong with whatever you get. We didn't get dessert, but it was so very tempting.

Recently visited for the first time, and Jeanine was our server. She was very courteous, helpful, and she guided us through the ordering process. We had a large cheese pizza with half pepperoni/half sausage, and it was delicious! Great heated up the next day too! I would definitely recommend this place to pizza lovers out there! 😋🍕Parking: Don't get discouraged by the sheer number of cars in the lot, there's enough spaces for everyone. Be patient and you'll find a spot!
