Pretty good pizza, the base is pretty good, crust is kind of flat, not in a bad way, it just doesn’t rise up a lot. Pizzas are not oily either unlike a lot of suburban pizza shops where it’s a complete oily fest.
Good family place, staff are friendly and welcoming.
When you sit and wait for 20 minutes before you get to order a drink it’s time to leave! We though because there seemed to be a few customers we would give them the benefit of the doubt. We then wait for over an hour before the entree even arrives. The couple on the table next to us seemed to get their meal 10 minutes after ordering. We then decided to leave and go to a real restaurant. Will never go back and will let others know how poor their service was. No fault of the waitress although letting us know there was going to be a delay or at least tell us that the pasta was abducted by Sicilians or something.
Very bad for business, if you have too much time on your hand and don’t mind a fast before your meal go. Otherwise go somewhere else!
Always drive past this place along beach road and wanted to give it a shot.
We came here for a late Sunday night dinner and were happily surprised that the venue not only had a small take-away style entrance but a large dinning area.
The dinning area is a throwback to family style diner with memeorobillia and collectibles hung up on the walls and ceiling. It’s a very homely-family orientated style restaurant and although the place is a bit cluttered and does have a little bit of a strange smell but it’s quickly taken over by the smell of the pasta and pizza in the air.
We ordered a large napollene pizza and seafood marinara on fettuccine to share with a side of chips. We were given a complimentary garlic pizza as we’re waiting which was a very nice touch on a quiet Sunday night.
The pasta was nice, although it was not the style of fettuccine we were expecting, it was still cooked well and the seafood was nice. The pizza was also quite nice on a thin crust base which was cooked quite well. The chips were disappointing, no salt or flavour and they seemed to be the oven style packet of chips you can buy from the grocery store so that was a miss.
The service here was very good, as the waiter and waitress who served us were helpful all night as well as the owner who was very cheerful and talkative and who helped us with a pizza box to take home the left overs.
Joe’s is fantastic, i live about 40 mins away and will drive up and back on a friday night to get a few family pizza’s to bring home, i wish they were open for business more often, i haven’t found a better pizza in Melbourne. Friendly, efficient, delicious, you’ve provided us with great memories and great food, thankyou!!!!
Friday night
Dined with hubby, nice view with the window…
Americana pizza was dry and had an uninspiring flavour
Fettuccini Carbonara had a strong creamy Parmesan… Except for the hair.. No wait.. There were three… Two short black ones and a long silver one both carefully weeded out and stomach turned.
We told the waitress politely and she genuinely apologised and that was about it… We weren’t looking for a free meal and not expecting one since its not exactly cheap. We weren’t too harsh on the waitress as it wasn’t exactly her fault but we kept our cool to see how it would handled.
Very disappointed that our feedback was not taken seriously and nor was there any attempt to remedy the situation. We understand that a busy kitchen can have issues from time to time but they should have taken it on board and done what they could to encourage us to return… clearly not because we won’t.
What a bayside gem! We were greeted warmly and exchanged banter with the owner. I suspect it may have been his elderly father behind the till. So straight away you know you’re amongst family. Homemade pasta with an array of sauces. Pizzas. Seafood. Sides. Desserts. Drinks. Ambiance. Friendly prompt service. Joe’s had it All. Nothing was a problem when it came to catering for our coeliac daughter. We don’t live around here and travelled 30 minutes especially for the Joe’s experience. Mentone locals can count themselves lucky to have Joe’s.
Love it here. Cute little family restraunt. So old school and love the atmosphere pizzas are great and pasta is all home made. The family who own and run it are lovley and make you feel as if ur in their home and have been invited over for dinner.
