Something For Everyone At Joanne’s
By Tricia, Luann & Meghan / foodie@longislandernews.com

Just a few steps off Main Street, Joanne’s 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, Joanne’s 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 Joanne’s famous Dijon sauce, while the Buffalo Chicken was hot and spicy and the large white chicken breast chunks were topped with Joanne’s 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 Grandma’s slice is appetizing to pizza lovers of all ages, and the Barbeque Chicken, loaded with chunks of white chicken breast and topped with Joanne’s famous barbeque sauce, was an immediate favorite. The bread, smothered in cheese and packed with garlic flavor, was the best we’ve 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), Joanne’s really offers something for everyone. Expand your pizza horizons with Joanne’s’ different varieties and learn to love pizza all over again in a whole new way.
