If you were a fan of the Original John's Pizza over in Calumet City on State Street which started in 1943, you are going to love this throw-back to those times. The State Street facility served people for decades and closed some time ago. Since then John's tried to establish a few outlets here and there (such as in Crown Point) and finally settled in to a single restaurant on Ridge Road in Munster, Indiana. This place is a gem.
While we have tried a number of things at this outlet ... and they offer appetizers, fish, pizza, and many sandwiches ... the absolute best meal is the Family Dinner (2 person minimum). Their Family Dinner (5 stars all around for the food and the price point) includes a house salad, fresh toasted garlic bread, mostaccioli with marinara sauce, broasted chicken, and a one-topping pizza ... all for the decent price of $16.95 per ... you can't beat it. Their pizza is their own original take on a pie and is served with sausage, but it is finely crumbled all through the pizza ... something we never found anywhere else.
They also have a full service bar with a number of nice Italian wines that are reasonably priced. The entrance is on the back side of the building where the parking lot is, and the ambiance is welcoming. It's a big noisy room with high ceilings, a nice long bar along one side on your left as you walk in, and a number of tables around the room. This is a great place for parties also. If you are looking for a fun, noisy place for your group ... large or small ... give John's a try.
