Joe’s Brick Oven Pizza

Its a throwback simple pizza shop in a little town and it was Perfect !! The pizzas are 20 inch. We ordered two for the 5 of us. We had enough for dinner and a couple pieces for breakfast. :)
Crust just stiff enough underneath, chewy and flavorful around the edges. I wish it was in Raleigh NC. I would go once a week ! Excuse the partial piece in the pic. I always forget to take pix of the food.

What can I really say about this Pizza shop. We traveled from New York to go to Kalahari. After settling in we were starving and didn’t want to pay crazy resort food prices so we googled and found Joe’s pizza. We traveled about 18 minutes to get here and me being a New Yorker and of course high standards for pizza. I was surprised to meet a fellow New Yorker (Joe) making pizza. He is a really nice guy and hands down his Pizza exceeded my expectations. I didn’t think it was possible but the pizza was delicious. We didn’t get to dine in and talk some more. Since he had to head out and close early but his service was great and I am a fan. If you’re in the neighborhood it’s worth the trip.

Tip: I would recommend the buffalo chicken pizza.

truly the best pizza you could ever get in the united states, biased opinion maybe but it’s my firm belief. this pizza is the reason i got into pizza, which is one of the staples of happiness in my life.

this place (owner is formally the owner of the old Capri Pizza in town) brought me so much joy as a kid growing up my summers in BHF as a young one.
i’m 25 now and i, even though was raised outside of philly and ate lots of philly, jersey and nyc pizza throughout my life, literally FOR YEARS of my life, years and years i’ve told people about the old Capri shop - it is my favorite pizza i’ve ever had and is better than the best places in NY NJ and PA all combined to me!

it reminds me of some of the best times of my life, when everyone i loved was alive and well and when the BHF community was very different, warmer and more together… i saw this store with my partner who i share love for pizza with who i’ve been with since i used to have a house up in NEPA who i always wanted to try my old fav… and i told them we should go inside and check it out based on the look of the pics in the reviews because it reminded me of the ol’ good stuff..! and so we sat down in the quaint new space that is nearby conveniently the family dollar, lewis’ etc.

i saw photos from the old Capri on the walls and my heart started to race, i told my partner that i was excited and nervous to ask, but when we talked to Joe he was so sweet. he assured me he indeed was the original management at the old Capri, and i was ecstatic!!! my partner and i took it to go and the moment i took a bite i actually started crying. i cried so much. i cried because all of the memories flooded back… and the deliciousness of the pizza is truly still unmatched.

Joe has somehow managed to keep his special taste so similar to the past, it was like a beautiful time warp. i haven’t been that happy in years and years having a meal, never cried like a baby like that!

i really want to thank Joe for coming back and making a pizza shop like this. i really would recommend anybody that loves pizza to give this place a go. the way Joe’s craft has been my unmatched favorite pizza for quite possibly over 15 years says more than enough, and it stands the test of time and is a testament to how amazing pizza can be, as it really was the first pizza to ever make me become obsessed with the food as a whole and the pizza community. thank you again Joe and we will definitely be back ASAP!

(by the way.. i think i might be just one of the kids that made the many drawings on the framed board.. i definitely wanna check next time i come back around, hahaha!)

anywho, DON’T skip Joe’s, period. you’ll regret it, and if you go, i know you’ll love it.

Hands down the best pizza in the Poconos! Not a fancy place a couple tables, a TV with perpetual Vintage The Price is Right episodes playing (Who doesn't like Bob Barker), a cooler and a counter. But behind that counter the best pizza this side of Jersey is made! Great Pizza at a fair price, what more can you ask for?!

Best pizza I ever had. Hands down, should have awards over here. As a pizzaholic from NJ I can say this is the best slice I ever had. Always go here will keep going!

Amazing pizza. Hands down the best joint out here.

He definitely charges less than others in the area and produces a better pizza! Ny style in the heart of the Poconos...I go back as often as possible

Amazing pizza! Best in the Poconos! The crust is so good, sauce is so fresh and so much flavor in each crisp bite.
