Possibly the most subpar pizza I've ever had
We had reservations for 16 at lunch....they made us guarantee a $15 minimum per person plus the 20% gratuity for a large party. The pizza had no taste whatsoever...the blandest sauce I've ever had, hardly any cheese and I couldn't find the mushrooms I had ordered. The waitress was pleasant enough but the man who brought the pizzas to the table hit me in the head and then knocked over my water glass. (If he had let me know he was behind me I would have moved). Plus he put all the pizzas in the wrong spot so we had to get up and serve ourselves using napkins as potholders. It was also way too dark in there.

Decent food and value - cool atmosphere but LOUD
Went to the John's Pizzeria in Times Square. The food was decent, I split a mahgerita pizza which was just okay, nothing special. My parents enjoyed splitting a mushroom and spinach calzone stuffed with ricotta and mozzarella cheese. All together, for the pizza, calzone, fried cheese appetizer, 3 soft drinks, and a goblet of wine it was only $80 It was very loud inside though, you practically had to scream just to hear the person across the table from you. No problems getting in right away on a very busy Friday night!

Great Calamari!
I've had their Linguine alla Calamari about 5 times recently (1/04/09 latest), and the calamari has consistently been among the best I've ever had (I'm a big fan of the stuff!). On 1/04/09 I had the Eggplant Parm (the calamari wan't ready, LOL!), and it was outstanding! Can't speak for the pizza, though! The wait-staff veers from "normal" (attentive, helpful) to "can't be bothered".

poor delivery experience
Recently had the worst delivery experience of my 4 years in NYC. Apparently they took down my address wrong, but rather than call me to get the correct one, they just decided to scrap the delivery altogether. After I called 90 minutes later, they said they would bring me a new pizza right away, but couldn't give a discount. When my pizza arrived 30 minutes later, it was not a new pizzait was the original pizza they had made for me, as cold and gummy as you would expect it to be 2 hours after it was made. I'll never order delivery again from John's.

FABULOUS!
I love John's! It has to be the best pizza I've ever had. We ordered a Lg and realized after we started eating that we were gonna need another between 4 woman. I can't wait to go back soon.

Good and cheap.
My family and I went to John's for lunch before we left NYC. After four days of high prices it was nice to see a main course for under $10!!! A large pizza fed all six of us for under $25. The pizza was good and much better than most. All pizzas have thin, crispy crust and all toppings are extra. The matire'D was kind and considerate, even when he had to ask us to move tables when he realized that he had overseated one waiter. The waitress was good but not the best. This John's is in an old church and the restaurant felt hollow. Including sodas and appetizer, six people ate for $65. Watch out for the 20% tip that is included for large parties! I woud go back to John's, but it is not the best pizza in the world.
