I really enjoy the pizza at Johnny’s New York Style Pizza. I ordered two slices for lunch recently — one with just pepperoni and one with pepperoni and jalapeno. Both were delicious. They were a little greasy and floppy but still good with a crispy outer crust. The call-ahead ordering process was super easy, and the lunch special pricing was a great deal. Definitely some of the better pizza in Gainesville.

It has been so nice to have another Johnny’s Pizza because the Pizza and Wings at the Sugarloaf location has been a wonderful Friday Night luxury. This new spot opened about 1 year ago in downtown Gainesville in a gorgeous building. As of 2025, this is the Pizza spot in the Gainesville; yes better than Atlas Pizza on the square and Venditti’s. The service and quality were splendid from a young hard working teenager. The facility was huge and the patio area overlooked Jesse Jewel Highway. They have a full bar and one of the few spots that still carry craft IPAs. We had a homemade margarita and Wild Leap.. so good. As for food, we had a small Greek salad with Greek dressing; it was well prepared. We also had Mild Wings and Garlic Parmesan wings. Now the Chef said it was his first time making because they were not on the menu. However, we have to say, they were hands down the best we’ve had, ahead of Taco Mac: garlic butter and topped with shreds of Parmesan. OMGness!! We highly recommend getting but you have to request. We also had a veggie slice and a slice of pepperoni; both were absolutely the “bomb!” With that, if you have a taste for pizza and wings, we highly recommend this new Johnny’s Pizza.

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. I got pepperoni, Canadian bacon on the whole pie, and left half jalapeno and pineapple. At first glance I was worried if it was cooked enough, but as you can see, the undercarriage is cooked PERFECTLY! I really like the crust flavor and texture. Top 3 marinara sauces I've ever had! Make sure you have plenty to dip your crusts in! I'll order again next time I'm in Gainesville! I got it delivered via DoorDash.

Love this Johnny’s location just across the Bridge to Nowhere in Gainesville! The thin crust pizzas are delicious - so much flavor and tons of toppings. The garlic knots were a perfect starter and we enjoyed their selection of interesting beers and canned cocktails too. We grabbed the Philly cheese Stromboli to go for our son and he scarfed it down. It was stuffed with meat and cheese. The views were cool, wide open with lots of windows, a balcony eating area that looks out over Jesse Jewell and several televisions for catching the game. Staff were friendly and helpful. Looking forward to trying them out for some team trivia soon!!

I go to Johnny's in Atlanta a lot. This hands down is the best one I have been in my life. The lemon pepper wing were probably the best I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!! All the ingredients on the sub was so FRESH, GOOD and Tasty. I will br stopping here everything Ito return from Cherokee. The service was very good also. Did not get the servers name but I finished about 2 pm and she was a tall female wearing black shorts.

one word. AWESOME! This place hit all of my criteria for a perfect 5 stars. The location is near a safe and kinda hard-to-get to, but It is worth it. It was next to the bridge and had outdoor seating with some photogenic views. Adding that the place was very well kept as well, then those are more bonus points. The food was top tier, felt authentic, and came out nice and fresh. Perfect amount of toppings on the pizzas and had a big portions for the price. The staff were very nice and we Eben had some small talk with them. They also came out to serve us fast and checked up on us a good number of occasions. would definitely check this place out!

We eat a lot of Johnny’s pizza. The wings are so good too. Love their ranch & antipasto salad. Very family friendly & inviting atmosphere. Love the location. Easy to earn loyalty points on their app when they are consistently great!
