FOODIE
Something For
Everyone At Joannes

Just a few steps off Main
Street, Joannes Gourmet Pizza offers a whole new world
of pizza creations that the Foodies have been longing to try.
Patriotically themed and colored in reds, blues and whites,
Joannes stands out from the other stores and restaurants
on New Street because of its bright red exterior. The inside
is just as memorable, with silver chairs, tables and flat
screen televisions, American flag paintings and black and
white framed posters.
The pizzeria, which opened just last September, features over
30 varieties of gourmet pizzas prepared from scratch with
the freshest ingredients of the highest quality. They deliver
even in Lloyd Neck and provide a unique experience
for everyone from the youngest pizza aficionados to the oldest
connoisseurs.
We started with a platter showcasing the Honey Dijon Chicken,
Buffalo Chicken, Margarita, Shrimp Scampi, Regular and Whole
Wheat varieties.
The Honey Dijon was sweet and satisfying with large chunks
of white chicken breast marinated in Joannes famous
Dijon sauce, while the Buffalo Chicken was hot and spicy and
the large white chicken breast chunks were topped with Joannes
homemade buffalo wing sauce. The Margarita, topped with fresh
mozzarella, basil and a plum tomato sauce, was fresh and tasty,
and the Shrimp Scampi, loaded with baby shrimps and mozzarella
cheese, offered an unusual, yet pleasing, alternative. The
regular slice was just as good as the specialties, with a
thick layer of cheese and a crisp crust, while the Whole Wheat
provided a healthier option for the nutrition-conscious.
Garlic Knots (three for $1) topped with fresh garlic, parsley
and grated Parmesan were the perfect complement to our pizza
wheel.
But before we left, we just had to try the Grandma and Barbeque
Chicken Pizzas and the Garlic Bread with Cheese ($3.50). Plum
tomato sauce, basil and mozzarella cheese on a thin crust
square style, the Grandmas slice is appetizing to pizza
lovers of all ages, and the Barbeque Chicken, loaded with
chunks of white chicken breast and topped with Joannes
famous barbeque sauce, was an immediate favorite. The bread,
smothered in cheese and packed with garlic flavor, was the
best weve ever had and offered the perfect end to our
delicious feast.
With cheese-less and vegetarian pizza options, salads, soups,
heros, pasta dishes and entrées such as Chicken Cutlet
Parmigiana ($12.95), Joannes really offers something
for everyone. Expand your pizza horizons with Joannes
different varieties and learn to love pizza all over again
in a whole new way.
