The last 2 reviews are spot on! I went to Johnnys on Mississippi last week and I know exactly who the reviewer was talking about. I stood at the counter for a few minutes waiting for service while the waitress was very busy and a very dirty and miserable looking person who I'm guessing was the manger mspencer was talking about made salads and didn't even glance my way to greet me.

Checked out the Johnnys location at 26th and Kipling, and was really hoping for a good slice of pie. Was greeted by 4 very loud teens who were too busy playing grabass to take an order, and when the young man with sweat shorts with his butt hanging out came over, he was clueless. Said the pizza would take 15 minutes and 45 minutes later a half cooked pie came to our table. My 9 year old... more

Johnny's used to be one of my favorite places in Lakewood. Things have changed so much since Johnny hasn't been around. They have a new manager and I think his name is Phil and he absolutely ruins the whole experience. He has a terrible attitude, is extremely rude to the customers and employees and always looks filthy and disgusting. I'm not sure if he only has one shirt but it looks like... more

Fugettaboutit - Johnny's serves up a real slice of the New York pie. I've been frequenting this place since it opened four years ago and still love it. It's the closest New York-style pizza I've found in the Mile High City

I enjoyed the take out I had on a Monday. There were plenty of toppings and cheese on the pizza. I was reading some of the other reviews. I can not tell, but it looks like someone really is upset at Johnny. He makes good food, and in the past I've enjoyed our taks about NY. I had never had a bad lunch, or dinner.

I always drive by and decided to stop in for a slice. To be honest, I was hoping it would be better. The slices they sell are not like what I remember in New York. The place is not much to look at and it was pretty empty. It wasn't the worst pizza I have had probably somewhere between Dominos and Pizza Hut. Oh well, I'll just keep looking.

This place is not only good; its great! I have seen other people talk a good game about their favorite pizza shops. When I introduced my friends to Johnny's, they all agreed that this was the best pizza. And the perk? They have reaaly good italian food also. If I want a calzone, this is the only place to get a proper "calzone". Forget the rest- judge for yourself!

They burnt my first pizza. The second one camne out and i took it home. Got it home and ate it. ---- The sauce is no good, the crust was ok at best, cheese was rubbery and looked like little dots. they seem to always be giving it away for free as somekind of sports promotion. Thats a good time to get this pizza. Paying for this is just not worth it.

I enjoyed the pizza here at Johnny's. He does not ring his own bell, like some other places in Lakwood. He just makes good food. Make sure you try some of his knots. They are a nice start to a good piece of pie.

It's nice not having to hear about how great he is every time I go in there like some other places. The food does all the talking.

Being new to the area, I used to buy Johnny's pizza fairly regularly. However, the owner recently did a free pizza day since the Rockies swept the Yankees.
