Joey's NY Pizza

OK, so I’ve passed this pizzeria (Templeton Gap location) so many times over the past several years while working but never found the time to stop in for a bite. The other day we happened to be in the area and were hungry for lunch. I recalled this restaurant and we drove over. Our order was simple - 14 inch cheese, pepperoni and jalapeño pizza, and three drinks. The 14 inch pie was enough to feed the three of us (2 slices each). Pizza was freshly baked and came out quickly. I’ve included a picture of the soda fountain. I’ve never had Stubborn brand soda. The agave vanilla cream soda and black cherry were not overly sweet, and very enjoyable. We were able to see our pizza dough hand tossed prior to baking. Pizza arrived hot, and fresh in a timely manner. Crust was thin and crispy with no sog or grease on the bottom. Jalapeños were freshly sliced and then baked in the oven. Although I prefer them to be sautéed/caramelized when sliced from fresh, they were still very good. Our only regret is not trying this restaurant earlier. We look forward to returning. Thumbs up. Strongly recommended.

The owners are the nicest people. My wife, 2 kids, my mother in law and I ate inside on 5/30/25. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, no wait for a table, and had immediate service. We ordered a supreme, cheese, and pepperoni and all 3 were cooked to perfection, served hot, and tasted great. It was a 20 minute drive for us and it was well worth it. We will definitely come back.

This will be my go to from here on out. The pizza was incredible. The meatballs though. This is the first place I’ve ever ordered that I can undeniably say these are homemade and INCREDIBLE. The best food I’ve had probably ever. ❤️

Great sauce, crispy crust, stretchy cheese. The staff even asked how I wanted itcut. and gave tips on how to get a better Sicilian (order an hr early so the dough can rise properly! I wish I had cash or my phone on my to buy something so I could tip them they were wonderful!

Came in on a date and got their daily special, 2 slices 2 knots and a drink all for only 11 bucks! It was amazing and we both left completely full with leftovers. Chadd helped us out and he was awesome, super funny and charming and totally made our day, not sure what they pay there but he deserves a raise! He earned joeys 2 new regulars today. 5 stars.

We've lived here since 2003 and I am amazed that we just recently discovered this little gem of a pizza place. Very good new york style pizza! Now our go to spot.

Normally really good food, but there was a trainee who messed up the order this time. Still tasty, just not quite what we were hoping for, so need to check to go orders next time. Highly recommend their sausage topping, best in town, nothing else like it.

Without question this is the best pizza in town. I worked in pizza for many years and in general I actually hate it so I feel like that's saying alot. We always get carry out but the employees are friendly and the atmosphere seems pretty cool. And I love love love the pizza!

We've been to Joey's several times now, and it never disappoints. I've tried many local pizza places looking for just a good cheese pizza, and IMO, Joey's is the best. It's also reasonably priced, and their garlic knots are delicious. Today, they were slammed and running behind on orders. I didn't really mind since I know how it goes in restaurants, but they were super nice and gave me some cheesecake as an (unnecessary) apology. Definitely go to Joey's for your pizza needs!

Not great, not bad. I am from NY so maybe I'm judging a bit harshly, but when you have "NY Pizza" on the building, you kind of asked for it. Here's the skinny. A NY pizza can be described in two ways and comes in 2 sizes. There is the NYC style pizza, which is a large pizza. Likely 24-30 inches or so in diameter. It is pretty thin, the slices are very large and the pepperoni are large and flat. This style resembles Joeys in that it is also thin and the pepperoni are flat. However, Joeys dough is more cracker like in texture and less bread-like. The WNY style pizza is also about a 24 inch round pie, but also comes in a sheet style, which is about twice as large and typically rectangle. The WNY pizza is a bit thicker, almost sicilian style in some cases. The dough is always chewy and bread-like and the pepperoni are almost always cupping pepperoni with char on the edges. The mozzarella is applied thicker and the crust is puffy and crunches. Joeys pizza wasn't horrible. Don't get me wrong, I ate it and locals here likely enjoy it. It's pizza! But from my perspective, and at $24 for a medium sized "NY" pizza (18 in), if I had this pizza back home I would critique it just the same, and likely most people would agree, it was meh! Colorado is tough for pizza and sushi, maybe it's the water or lack thereof. Not sure, but if this was just "Joey's Pizza" and didnt claim to be "NY pizza" I would have gave it an extra star, but I can't do that today and feel good about it. Either way, check it out!

I ordered a pizza literally minutes before they closed and I know what a pain that is but the pizza is amazing and I appreciate everyone's time and commitment to quality. Thank you Joey's Pizza kitchen crew.

We were greeted by Breannan when we came in. The menu had a variety of things to choose from and we were trying to make up our minds. They had fried mushrooms and Oh My Goosh we immediately order some. Everything was great and our kiddos loved the cheese pizza. The porky pie was all that and the at supreme was off the chainWe will be back

Ordered food for delivery...2 hours later got food. Wondered why the driver didn't call if he got lost....oh phone person didn't take my number correct....twice. Food was tasty...but 4 very regular meatballs on my remade? Sub left something to desire....I know times are tough for all of us, but if a business wants my business they must earn it. I think they failed today.

I must say as a fellow New Yorker this place was completely unacceptable. I ordered two pies and not only did they not have little to no marinera, the music being played in the whole restaurant was just to satisfy the cook. She was playing Wierd Al and similar music. As for hygiene I don't your supposed to make pizza and use the cash register with the same gloves.

If you're in the mood for a quick bite and missing East Coast pizza, this is the place to go! Service was attentive and super friendly, took no longer than 15 minutes for all of our plates. Highly recommend.

I used to really LOVE walking to my neighborhood Joeys Pizza to get a fresh slice of pizza. in the past 8months - year, I've noticed a significant depreciation of quality in the pizza here unless we order a WHOLE pizza. I used to eat here several times a week and have minimized my frequency to a "cross my fingers" type of luck every time I visit this store. The pizza by the slice is evidently low quality as anyone that looks at the pizza in the window can see that some of those slices hve sat there over 3-4 hours. Corners dried up and curling. cheese dried out and old. I am writing this in hopes that management will fix (reduce; cut in half) the window time that pizza sits to be sold as "by-the-slice". this will be my 4-5th final attempt at arriving to Joeys to see VERY LOW quality slices.. Ive left this place too many times in disgust. PLEASE BEING BACK THE FRESH JOEYS THAT WE ALL REMEMBER.

Me and some friends hit this place on Saturday night for dine in. My girl and I both ordered slices of The Fungetdaboutit pizza. It was soo damned tasty. It came out piping hot, the crust was perfect. That crust wasn't too thin so it held up Emden I folded the huge slice and went in for the first bite. It held up through the very end. My son ordered garlic cheese bread. Best cheese bread he's ever had-a compliment since my son only ever orders cheese bread when we head out for pizza. Throw in a couple Modelo Especials from the ample beer selection and you have the makings of a great night out for pizza. Wine, Hard Lemonade, a few domestics, a few local craft beers, etc. I can't speak to delivery times, but if you need good NY style pizza, try Joey's. We were at the Templeton Gap location, but I think all are under new ownership, so I expect the recipes are the same at all locations. Oh, and don't forget a shot of that pickle juice infused Vodka!!

Love the food and the atmosphere. I recommend just getting one slice though because the slices are big and get you full quick from the ready made ones.

I'm sad. I haven't had joeys in years! I loved their crust, soft and chewy, foldable. I wanted pizza tonight and suggested Joeys since it's been so long . I ordered from the t gap location, set a pick up time and paid through the app. My bf went to get the food and had to wait a bit once he got there, which is fine, hot out of the oven pizza is perfect! We live about 5 minutes away and when he got home, the pizza was luke warm. Crust was tough and not the same as I remember, and I missed that gooey cheese pull. Oh well. Lesson learned.

The staff is nice enough and the place is somewhat clean. Aside from that you are looking at some very mediocre pizza that is barely passable in a pinch. The dough tastes like something you would get from a pillsbury container, and the cheese is not very high-quality. Anyone used to authentic New York style pizza will find this place pretty disappointing. If you are looking for real authentic New York style pizza, go check out Upstate pizzeria downtown. It blows this out of the water. This place ain't it. Sorry.

This place is awesome for a quick slice. I actually like the way they reheat the pizza with your toppings added. The reheat is what makes it better. Yep

I'm noticing many of the reviews start with "I really wanted to like/love this place" which is what I want to say too. This location is on my way to and from work and would be SO convenient for picking up dinner on the way home. I have visited twice- the first time I ordered online and got two salads and some garlic knots. We liked the garlic knots but were disappointed with the salads. I also had to wait a half hour after my pickup time to get the food which was a bummer. Last week I decided to try again. I liked that they have slices and garlic knots up front so you can see what you are getting. Where I'm from when they sell slices, you pick what you want, they box it (in individual slice boxes) and then go home with your food. Here, you pick what you want and then they take it away and you have to wait about a half hour for them to heat it up again- I didn't realize that would happen (but now that I think of it, the slices aren't under a warmer so I guess that makes sense but it doesn't say anywhere that's how it works.) I also ordered six garlic knots but they took those away too. I'm not sure if the slices and knots had to wait for their turn in their oven or if it really takes a half hour to reheat them, but when everything came out it was much darker, tough, kind of burnt, and then sprinkled lots of cheese on top of the garlic knots which I was not expecting- I thought they'd look just like the knots up front which looked perfect to me. But then they were transformed into something I didn't like very much. They also put three slices on top of each other in a box which was not appealing. I also ordered a slice of Fugedabodit (cute name) but ended up at home with Margherita. The people working seemed stressed and confused and the restaurant was filled with people who were waiting for their food, even though some had pre-ordered and yet the pizzas were just being put in at the pick up time. This is a great location, it has great outdoor seating, and it has a good menu. I wish things were explained much better and will probably stay away from now on because the overdone-ness just isn't my taste. I wish them the best, though, and I know many people love NY Pizza.

As much as I like their food it's always a huge disappointment on wait times then the quality of the food on Friday 11/18/22 night. Placed an online order said it would be ready at 07:11pm showed up at 7:15 then said 6 minutes. At 7:30 I asked again. Not ready. Finally at 7:44 I asked again and she grabbed the boxes which you could tell had been done a while! They didn't add the ranch I had to pay for so had to ask. The pizza rolls were so pathetic looking and very hard but the time I got my order. The staff was all cussing ( I cuss a lot!) complaining about other staff members complaining about ghost orders. If my food was fresh and they were just busy I would not be writing the review however the wait, the employees complaints then the food that had been done a while just sucked. I'm sure I'll give them another chance but probably stick to the 8th street location.

This place is awesome. Great variety of pizza. Quick service. I also live nearby and frequent the place a few times every month.

Orders have been incorrect 3 out of 5 delivery orders via Grubhub, Joey's website, and calling the store directly.... Management is clueless and flaccid in resolving the wrong orders. I won't gamble at Joey's any more.

I really wanted to love this place because of how conveniently located it is for me. Its in the same shopping center as Hotasana, which means it could really make some of my nights easier if I stopped for pizza on my way out. However, the pizza was just okay. I ordered two slices of the white pie, one slice of cheese and one slice of pepperoni . My husband had two slices and I had two. The pizza was greasy, and a bit stale (even after re-heating it in the oven). But all of that I could deal with. As soon as we were both done eating, we both had tummy aches. Now, its important to note that we DID NOT get sick. But it was so greasy that it made us queasy for the rest of the evening. I always like to give restaurants two chances before I put them on my no list - so I will be seeing Joey's Pizza again at some point and updating my review if my experience changes. They seemed really busy that night so they definitely have a fan base.

Love the location. Easily top 3 best pizza places in Colorado Springs. Always looking to stop by for a slice!

Great Stromboli and the sauce is bangin! Don't forget to try a garlic knot.....sooo good! The service was nice and welcoming too. I would definitely recommend this place!

Good, fast pizza. Their garlic knots are also really good. I wish their salads were more interesting. Not really much to them.

Love the food, BUT every time I order for dinner no matter what day, they say, "We are really backed up" it is going to be _:_ _ minutes. Then they say sorry, it's going to take another _:_ _ minutes. Finally you will get it 10-15 minutes past that time. For a place that makes pizza all day, it is quite disappointing they can't be or choose not to be more accurate with the time estimate. Not sure why they can't be accurate with the times. Waiting 1-1.5 hours for the pizza is worth it, but it is frustrating when they think they can't be truthful about the wait time.

Ordered take out online and was given a 25 minute time to pick up. Came in a few minutes after that time and the place was chaos. Waited five minutes (at least) to get to tell anybody that I was there for pickup. 6 or 7 workers were running around in the chaos and the order wasn't put together yet. Another 5 minutes for them to tell me they were out of root beer. Finally got my full order (pizza, fried ravioli, cannoli, 2 liter). With tip and tax it was just over $40. Got home and the food was terrible. Pizza was burnt on the bottom and tasted like it had sat for some time, ravioli was meh, cannoli was old and hard. Will not be returning. Waste of money.

This is a new, neighborhood pizza spot, and we were quite impressed with their pizza. Even though they were almost ready to close (and turned down 3 or 4 people that came in after us), we ordered quickly and took it home to eat. It was delicious with sausage, onions and peppers and plenty of sauce and cheese. Even though we drove it home, and we do live just a few minutes away, the pizza was hot and not soggy. Since they were closing, they even threw in several garlic knots that were very good, but obviously not going to be saved for the next day. Had we stayed, they also offered a number of interesting-sounding vodka drinks that were infused with strawberries in one jar and dill pickles in another jar. They do not have a full bar, however. My only suggestion is that they might consider staying open an hour later. People were turned away while we waited for our pizza to bake. I can only assume, like everywhere else, they are short-staffed and must have been drop-dead tired. We look forward to going back again soon!

We dashed in eight minutes before closing, so we had to do take away. Got a 14" with sausage, onions and peppers. Got it home and was amazed with how good it was. The best pizza I can remember having--ever! I want to get back and try a sit down experience. I was offered free pepperoni knots, they said that they would toss them anyway as soon as they closed. Not awesome, but might have been stale and I'm not sure if I'd like them at all. But the pizza . . .

Terribly dismissive service tonight. Employees don't seem to care about their product or customers this evening.

Good pizza . Typically get the Hawaiian. They are always friendly and have never been disappointed. A good neighborhood pizzeria for to go orders.

Been going to this location since it opened. Never had any problems until now. Garlic knot pizza was way undercooked. Garlic knots were completely raw basically inedible. Very disappointed. Way too expensive for that low quality.

So delicious! We loved the Vita Dolce (Canadian bacon and pineapple) and the Grandma's Pie. There was something extra fabulous on the bottom of the crust of each pie -- almost like the dough was brushed with a seasoned oil? 10/10, will definitely order again.

Great news for a corner of town with very few food options. In the heart of T-Gap/Kittyhawk it's part of a Renaissance of businesses in what has been, for a very long time, empty and forgotten. Ordering NY pizza by the slice is fun with specials each day. Prices for the daily pizza special are great. Last night I had the meatball sandwich which served as dinner and lunch today. Delicious, smothered in mozzarella and tasty toasted bread. The ordering counter lacks any kind of traffic flow. It kind of feels like a Baskin-Robbins with specials in view but poorly displayed. You take your number and the item is brought to your table. Joey's is happily surrounded by other complementary shops--a brewery, a cookie bakery, dog groomer and the long running Humble Coffee kiosk. It's casual and welcoming: for a real meal head a few block over on Prospect to Patty Jewett.

Sadly, we were excited to order delivery after eating in house recently. We ordered a large pizza and garlic knots and were told delivery would be 45 minutes to an hour. No problem. We understand that there is a shortage of staff. After an hour and 45 minutes, we called to check on our order. We were informed that our order was delivered to a different address, and that we would have to pick up our order. When asked why we weren't informed about the delivery mixup, the manager said they were too busy helping other customers. The manager said our order was "bumped" which prompted my husband to laugh and ask what that meant. The manager then said he didn't have to put up with my husband laughing and he would refund our order. We love to support local business, but this was very disappointing.

We ordered pizza for pick up. I arrived at the quoted pick-up time and waited another 20 MINUTES for my pizza. I should have opened the box before leaving...when I got home I realized the pizza was totally wrong and not what we ordered. I tried calling, no answer. I tried e-mailing, no response. I'll echo another recent review and say the staff seemed totally overwhelmed and confused and there was a group of other customers in a similar situation to me...there to pick up orders that were waaaay late beyond the quoted pick up time. The atmosphere was pissed off customers and unhinged employees. This place is a dumpster fire of issues.

Ordered a slice of pizza. Pizza was pretty good. But again I would echo the reviews here. The staff could give two shits if you were there or not. And the younger girl acted like she was doing me a favor by taking my order. These types of businesses really pissed me off. The sad thing is I met the owner like six years ago at the first location super nice guy. I think he would be disappointed at the service I received. But who knows, maybe service isn't that big of a deal anymore. We got good pizza, peeps, and you're lucky to have it. Now order and shut up.

Our pizza was so salty we couldn't eat it. It tasted like someone had used the wrong measurement in making the dough.

Got just a cheese pizza 18 inch New York style showed up cold and burnt barely Edible GrubHub gave me my money back

At this location ONLY, and only certain days, they have something called Garlic Bread Rolls that one of the managers, Brooke, makes. They are like cinnamon rolls but with garlic, mozzarella and Parmesan. They come with a side of marinara or an amazing garlic butter. These are UNBELIEVABLE!!!! The only catch is that Brooke is the only one who makes them! She is incredibly accommodating. I had called to see if they had them/she was working and was told they didn't have them that day and Brooke actually called me right back and told me she would be making them the next day! WOW!! Talk about incredible customer service! I really wish Joey's had these all the time! In the meantime.....Brooke will hook you up with Garlic Bread Roll Yumminess when she is opening! A DEFINITE Sunday treat!!!

This place is incredible. Pizza 5 stars!! Service another 5 stars! We'll always stop here going through town to Denver! Can't say enough good things about the food

I'm from the East Coast and Joey's is the closest thing to real pizza you can get out here, and I've lived here for years. They had a long wait but it was a Friday night so understandable. They're also the only pizza joint in Colorado Springs that can make THIN CRUST without burning it!! Very tasty, fresh ingredients, the price not bad and even less than some chains for what you get. A true slice to reckon with.

Great Antipasto salad!! Any mom and pop Italian restaurant that has a side order of meatballs must be the real thing. It was. Very good marinara sauce, good large pizza slices and awesome garlic knots. Authentic yankee Italian joint.

I really wanted this to be decent pizza, but it is not. I could live with mediocre pizza, because I live right down the street. I called in an order to go, when I got there. They had "lost" my order and automatically assumed it was my fault and I called all the other stores while I stood there waiting. Once they figured out that I hadn't ordered from the wrong place. I was given the excuse of "oh, well it must have been inputted wrong" Ok, everyone has a bad day. An apology would have been nice So I decided to just have a couple slices to go. While I'm standing there for another 15 minutes. I watched the cook tossing pizza dough, throw it against the ceiling twice. Ok........ it looks clean in there. Then I got home to "enjoy" my pizza.... And it's burnt. Very little flavor, but lots and lots of salt Needless to say, despite living 3 minutes away, between the horrible service, lost order, and really really bad pizza. I won't be back and will be telling my neighbors to avoid this place.

I was told 30-40 mins. When I got there they hadn't even started prepping it. I was told it would be another 15-20 mins. Good pizza but organization needs a lot of work. No pizza for me tonight I guess.

Eating a whole 14 inch pizza on my own wasn't the plan but, Joey's has that 'NYc' flavor. Salad was a bit plain but that's pretty standard with any place on delivery. If you like good NYC style pizza. I recommend.

Pizza is good but service sucks. Use the location in Briargate better service. Ordered a pie with wings and mozzarella sticks for delivery over an hour passed called them because we saw they were about to close so we had to go pick it up this is with leaving them a tip. Will be finding another place to get out pies from.

Stop here for a work break and dinner. We bought by the slice. The pizza was uncovered (possibility for flies to sit on the pizza). My order was wrong. I had to ask the young man/kid/teenager to replace the empty soap on the men's restroom and he never did, so I asked another employee and she did, but not before long there was horse play going on. Nice atmosphere, not. The lobby and tables wasn't cleaned. Not coming back. Thank you.

I love, love, love Joey's Pizza. It's the perfect by the slice lunch spot and if you're in the need of delivery a giant NY style pizza fits the bill too.

Pizza was good but customer service was very poor. Ordered a pizza the same time as another friend and after 20min from when they got theirs I went to the counter and only got excuses for our pizza not being ready with the best comment being "good pizza takes time". I guess our friends pizza wasn't that good. Obviously a business that doesn't care about their customers.

I really wanted to like this place because the pizza at 8th street location was really tasty and this location is closer. This unfortunately was not the case. We ordered a pizza & wings for delivery through the restaurant's website. We waited two whole hours and no pizza was ever delivered. After the first hour, we attempted to call and see if there was an issue but no one ever answered the phone. Decided to drive to the location. Once inside, the employees immediately banded together and attempted to gaslight me. "We don't have a delivery online for you, we have a call in pick up order for you". This was not true. They handed me a pizza & wings and when I got it home it was the driest pizza we had ever had. Almost like it had sat in the window for 2+ hours. The icing on the cake was that they refunded my $4 delivery fee from their website. How do you refund a delivery fee if there was never a delivery and it was a call in order??! Terrible, old pizza and I should have just gotten a refund as soon as I arrived instead of letting employees talk me into taking 2+ hour old food.
