Everything about this slice was so good. I ordered a plain slice but they had so many other great options to choose from. The crust was crispy and had a great crunch while not being burnt. The cheese was good and the sauce tasted fresh. Fast service. I definitely recommend if you’re looking for great pizza and I’ll definitely be back here.

The sauce doesn’t have much flavor but the cheese was alright. The crust is burnt and yet it’s still a little undercooked. It doesn’t taste good, but it doesn’t taste bad. It’s similar to American bar pizza. Probably wouldn’t order this again.

I want to start by saying that this pie had the best marinara sauce I’ve tasted in my life. We ordered a half plain half meatball pie and both sides were great. If you like meatballs I would try it. But if you don’t, the classic is phenomenal on its own. We ate the whole thing and still wanted more. The service is great and the pie came out in 5 minutes. I would definitely recommend coming here between 11:00am -11:30am because a line started to form about 20 minutes after we were seated. This place has ruined me for all other pizza places. We were going to go to a steakhouse for lunch, but I’m glad we happened to walk in here beforehand.

We ordered the plain cheese pizza. It was a good, bar style pie. The crust was thin and crunchy, but not burnt on the edges. The sauce is sweet and there’s a good amount of it so it didn’t overpower the cheese. The service was amazing and I recommend getting it if you’re hungry and in the area.

My first time having Papa Johns. The crust was good but I can’t say the same for anything else on the slice. It got cold during the 5 minute ride home so the cheese was hard and rubbery. Mr. O’Malley suggested I dip it in the garlic dipping sauce to make it taste better. But I think if you need to drown the slice in a sauce, it’s just not a good slice. Overall would not eat it again.

They claim to serve a flatbread pizza but it’s definitely not. It was a very photogenic pie. The cheese is hard. The overall sauce-to-cheese ratio was not good. I had oil dripping down my fingers the entire time I ate the slice. The crust was good and crunchy. My Dad said this tasted like gas station pizza.

You really should never judge a book by its cover because this pizzeria had barb wire on the outside fence, a branch for a wreath, and bars on the windows. The plain cheese pizza was good, nothing special. The crust wasn’t great. My dad and my friend, Sofia, both got the chicken roll and said it was phenomenal. I would also recommend the garlic bread and the Nutella pizza.

The pizza is very oily and buttery. The crust doesn’t even taste like pizza. It comes out way too hot and takes a while to cool down. The cheese is hard and thick. I tried to take the cheese off to see if that was the problem, but the pizza still tastes buns. They don’t let you make any adjustments to the toppings. One of the offered toppings is jalapeño, which has no business being on Italian food. Would not recommend. On the bright side, the woman at the table next to us had a giant Cane Corso that we got to pet.

On our way to Joshua Tree we spotted a billboard for a Lavender Festival at 123 Farm. This pizza was at one of the food stands at the festival. They have full pies but they’re pretty small. The pie had four slices so my friend and I finished it. The sauce and cheese were pretty average, nothing special about them. I liked the crust because it was very puffy and it wasn’t too burnt. I would also recommend getting the lavender lemonade from this spot.
