Joey’s Pizza in Dunmore, PA: Consistent Quality and Speedy Service
Since 2015, Joey’s Pizza has been a staple in Dunmore, PA, serving pizza, pasta, subs, and more. Conveniently located on the O’Neil Highway, in the same plaza as The Loading Dock, Joey’s Pizza offers ample parking and easy accessibility. My recent visit, the first since 2016, reaffirmed why this pizzeria remains a local favorite.
Service and Convenience
One of the standout features of Joey’s Pizza is the quick and attentive service. Even during non-peak hours, the staff ensures a prompt and friendly experience. The display of ready-made gourmet slice pies is impressive, maintaining freshness and quality even during quieter times. This makes Joey’s a good stop for a quick, satisfying meal.
Pizza Selections
During my visit, I sampled the Grandma Pizza, New York Style Pizza with Pepperoni, Bruschetta Pizza, and the highly recommended Garlic Knots. Each item was premade but fresh on the slice counter ready to order and reheat.
Grandma Pizza
The Grandma Pizza at Joey’s Pizza is solid. The crust is doughy with a slight crunch, delicate, and is easy to chew. The mozzarella cheese is rich and the chunky, slightly acidic tomato sauce is flavorful with ample seasoning and garlic. A drizzle of olive oil on top enhanced the taste, making it a solid choice for anyone who loves a good Grandma slice.
New York Style Pizza with Pepperoni
Joey’s New York Style Pizza with Pepperoni features a medium-thin crust, tender and easy to chew, differing from the typical local NY style pies that require more effort to eat. The generous amount of mozzarella cheese and “lay flat” pepperoni provide a salty flavor profile. The sauce is lightly applied, which could be more balanced, but overall, it’s a solid slice that hits the spot.
Bruschetta Pizza
The Bruschetta Pizza was the highlight of my visit. Despite usually not favoring ricotta cheese on pizza, this slice won me over with its thin layer of ricotta, mozzarella cheese, diced tomatoes, and plenty of garlic. The fresh, vibrant toppings created a beautifully balanced and flavorful pizza, making it a perfect choice for a summer slice.

Garlic Knots
The Garlic Knots at Joey’s Pizza are some of the better I’ve tried over the years. Tossed in butter, garlic, seasonings, and fresh herbs, they are plump, dense, and bready with a satisfying chew. These knots are a worthy of a try for anyone visiting Joey’s.
