Johnny’s Pizza House

I used to like this place. Pizza and service is better on site. When delivered, it is usually barely warm and the crust has turned mushy. Last week, I ordered a delivery pizza at 5:30 pm. At 6:30 it hadn’t arrived. I called and got the expected promise it would be here soon. At 7:00, it still hadn’t arrived. Upon calling, the manager said it had left their store at 6:50 and should be here soon. At 8:00pm, that same Manager said the driver had left 40 minutes ago but had a flat tire so she was going to get it and deliver it. Hmmmm. I thought he left at 6:50??? Hmmmm. Wonder if it could possibly be warm after sitting in a car so long? I told her to forget it and refund my credit card. She agreed. Ended up at Pizza Hut after my 3 hour wait on Johnny’s. SIX DAYS later, I have seen no refund. BUYER BEWARE trusting this store.

As was evidenced in my first review, Johnny’s Pizza was my favorite. Unfortunately, that is no longer true. I have ordered Johnny’s (in Haughton) twice within the last 2 months or so and was disappointed both times. The first time, the pizza was almost burned and was overloaded with sauce. One of the reasons I always loved Johnny’s is due to the fact that they didn’t put too much sauce — -no longer the case. The second time I ordered, it was the same, too much sauce and overcooked. Sad to say that Johnny’s is way down the list of places from which I would order to go.

I’m only giving 2 stars because the delivery guy was very friendly and punctual. Anytime we order from a new pizza place we stick with a basic pepperoni. One would think that you couldn’t go wrong with a simple pepperoni pizza. One would be wrong. It was way too greasy and delivered cold. I found this surprising considering I am 2 streets away. We also ordered the cinnamon kings cake sticks. They were okay. A little too salty and also delivered cold.

First time going. I have to say is was pretty good. We ended up having the dinner buffet. We’re a family of seven and the cost was around 40.00. Not bad at all! The staff was excellent and the place was clean. My kids are pretty picky about where they eat. We have always had to bring McDonalds in restaurants with us. This time the entire family was happy. No complaints at all.

I ordered 2 pizza’s on line and went to pick them up the time posted on the site. When I got there they were busy and my pizza’s weren’t ready i understood. The lady behind the counter told me be about 10 min. she lacked customer service and was short with every customer she talked to. I waited 30 min. when i asked if they were ready they gave them to sumone else. So WOW she asked the manager wat to do he told her refund my money. I didnt want my money back I wanted pizza’s for my family. So i had to wait again. No discount no cheese stcks no soda no sorry for wasting ur time nothing but waiting. If my kids weren’t ur biggest fans I would never step foot back into ur stores again. it seems this store has no customer service wat so ever other stores do sorry this one is closest to me. just wow. thanx only gud thing is the pizza.

Okay, you know on my previous review, that I am a HUGE Johnny’s fan! HUGE! In particular, I am a HUGE fan of this location. This past Saturday night, with no LSU on the tube and nothing else to occupy the brain at that moment, the Johnny’s craving hit hard and fast. So, the wife and I agreed to give in, and so I ordered online. I left the house and got to Johnny’s a little early. They were busy, it being a Saturday night and all, so i sat and watched all of the goings-​on. I watched the workers behind the counter and I noticed this one guy working on the pizzas. He had very long hair-​extensions or dreads whatever they are, in a two-​tone coloring it appeared, orange and black (for Halloween, maybe?) And I thought to myself, with all that hair and working directly over the food like he was, gee I’m surprised none of that hair ever gets in the pizzas and really, shouldn’t he be wearing some sort of hair net? Just what the h*ll has happened with hairnets in restaurants anyway? I go into more restaurants these days and I see pimple-​faced kids with these long-​greasy-​cheesey ponytails wearing a baseball cap (as if this is sufficient now) working on my food. Anyway, Bob Marley finishes with my pizza and all, and after about a ten, fifteen minute wait, I was out the door with my hot pizza. I get home, start devouring the pizza. My wife says, «Babe…Look at this… I don’t know if this is a bug antennae, or part of a roach’s leg…»
I looked at her slice of pizza… It was disgusting! There, protruding from underneath the melted cheese and sauce, were two very long coarse, wiry hairs of two very different colors (one black… one orange. Trick! No treat!) I said to my wife, «Babe, it’s hair!» My wife said, «How could it be hair? It’s two different colors!»
I told her the story of the Rasta-​Pasta man… and we didn’t finish the pizza!

I do love Johnny’s pizza’s, but it seems that everywhere I am is where they won’t/don’t deliver which sucks for me… Pizza is fantastic! I suggest the Maui Wowie and the Chicken Ranchero.

Late night pies!

Although a well recognized icon in Shreveport, I did not start eating Johnny’s pizza until much later. I think it had something to do with how the square slices turned me off. Now, I rather like that.
Seriously though, Johnny’s has a tasty crust that is nice and crispy. The key is that you need to order and pick up or eat on location. Delivery and buffet somehow are not the same. Somehow the buffet pizza seems different. As for delivery, the pizza just doesn’t retain the crispness by the time it arrives your door. So stick with the rule: eat in or pick it up yourself.
A real winner is the sweep the floor pizza. I know, it might not sound appetizing but it is good. The reason why this place doesn’t get a 5 is cleanliness. I’m not expecting much out of a pizza joint, but still, the upkeep makes me want to carry-​out rather than eat in any day.
Summary, thumbs up and follow the rules for a good pizza. Oh, and don’t fear the square cuts.
