Editorial Review for John's Pizzeria - Times Square – by Citysearch Staff
The Space
The bright and spacious John's Times Square bares little resemblance to its legendary Greenwich Village forebear. There's a sweeping staircase to the second floor tables, with a giant mural depicting the cityscape across the wall. Happily, the acclaimed brick-oven pizza hasn't changed.
The Pizza
A tomato and cheese pie--alas, slices aren't available--will run you $12, and each topping will add another couple of bucks to your tab, but it's more than worth it. Fresh garlic, sausage and pepperoni are all wonderful toppings, but don't pile too many on: This is New York-style pizza we're talking about, not Chicago, and it has the thin, charred crust that's a Gotham trademark.

I am not the type to write reviews on places I eat but I was so mad after my experience at Johns Pizza in Time square that I had to share this. The service there was terrible. We were seated right away and given menus but it was atleast ten to fifteen minutes before our waiter even came over and asked if we would like anything to drink. The thing is he didn't even ask that...He came up to our table and asked in a very low mumbled voice "Do you know what you want". As we gave him our order we could barely understand any thing he would ask us because he was talking so low. After that point he gave us our drinks and that was the last time he would approach our table. I watched as he sat in a corner booth texting on his cell phone. I noticed other customers in his station getting irritated. We were served our food(by another waiter)...I had to get another waiter from another station to refill my drink because our waiter never came back to our table. After we were done eating we sat at our table waiting for our check for another 15to 20 minutes. Never once did he approach us and ask if we would like anything else. I finally had to get up and talk to someone about getting our check while he sat at the corner booth texting on his cell phone. I have never had service so bad. It really ruined the experience because the food was very good.
Pros: food, ambience
Cons: service
