The Pizza Joint

I have been gone from Augusta for four years, and hopefully I will be moving back soon and one of the very first stops for me will be The Pizza Joint. I have missed this place so much and the Chicken Diane pizza, it’s divine. People who think Mellow Mushroom is better are idiots, MM is a chain and sweatshop pizza. The Pizza Joint is literally the legit OG pizza staple of Augusta, GA and the pizza is second to none, and I can’t get back fast enough for another slice. ❤️ Keep doing what you’re doing, I’ll be in soon.

My cousin (a Georgia native) spoke very highly of pizza joint so I was expecting an awesome meal. Well, unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. I don't want to say pizza joint is bad, but for my first time there, I was highly disappointed. I am in town for a couple days, visiting from California and wanted to like this place, however the experience this evening was pretty terrible. We came In Super hungry and got the worst waiter ever. A young guy with long hair, glasses and was wearing some kind of hippe, poncho, blanket thing. I had to ask him more than once to fill our drinks, (I had a hungry pregnant woman and 11 year old girl with me) he was so slow, lazy and unprofessional. I had to wait 40 minutes for our food to arrive after asking about it, the appetizer came with the food which clearly was sitting under a heat lamp for some time. When we received it, the food was definitely not fresh. I couldn't finish my food it because of the heat lamp and the soaked grease. The best part of the meal was the marinara sauce, coupled with the shaker parmesean, it was really good. The sweet tea was excellent as well. Eventually we called the manager over and explained the situation. Long story short he handled things for us.

Our waiter was awesome! I came in Halloween evening with daughter, grandkids, and their friends. My husband wasn’t with us but he ask me to bring home a supreme pizza for him and my son. Our waiter said he would wait to order it so it is fresh right before we left. We went right home and open the box to find the pizza was burnt and not eatable. I am so disappointed in staff and management at your downtown location. You tell me why I should ever eat at any Pizza joints locations??? Boy was I upset to see your restaurant would even send this home with us. I am furious that anyone with any dignity looking at this pizza would even be tempted to put it in a box and think it was okay!!!! This pizza is not suitable for a homeless person to eat . My family and friends have been a loyal customer for many years , so you need to make this right. I took pictures of pizza for you to see this disgusting food. Yours truly one dissatisfied customer, Lind Parker

Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday. The server informed me most of the soft drink syrups were out so I chose a sweet tea to drink no big deal. They had a limited menu and staff due to covid. I had garlic knots for an appetizer which were surprisingly dry and the sauce was canned tasting. I immediately thought I had made a mistake stopping here for lunch. About 15 minutes later my 2 slices arrived...wow! So, no regrets here! The veggie had half a garden of vegetables perched atop- it was a delightful flavor combination. The cheese was a classic oily sensation that makes you want more. I can't believe the amazing flavors I experienced! The let down was the service, the server disappeared for many smoke breaks and didn't return for 30 minutes while I waited on the bill. Thanks for the food Pizza Joint!
