Joe Squared Pizza & Bar

I did carry out during a time that was not very busy. The customer service was great, quick, and easy. I ordered the calamari and the mozzarella sticks both were excellent, but the mozzarella sticks were a stand out. It's so rare to find a place with a gluten free fryer, and even harder to find gluten free mozzarella sticks! They were really delicious.

If you are a thin crust pizza lover, you would definitely enjoy this place! I got the chicken balsamic pizza, which wasn't bad, but not my favorite. For balsamic vinaigrette lovers however, I'm sure it would taste very nice. I'm sure the tomato-based pizzas would be great. We also got the mushroom risotto, which was very good! Not too salty, but very creamy & savory with nice fluffy rice. A bit oily, but I think that is the case with all risottos. Guilford Hall beer was also a great classic beer! Now, if you are looking for a trendy, energetic bar-type hangout spot, this is not the place. Most of the individuals that were here on the Friday night we came were older and more laid back. It might be a con for some, but I figure this place would be great for an older couple looking to have a relaxing night out.

Came to see some bands downstairs but heard the pizza was pretty good so we got there early. Very glad we did. The pizza here is a-MAY-zing!!!! They're square (of course!) and are flatbread-style and they come out hot and crispy. We had the White with Veggies, the Meat Lovers, and a special with Buffalo Chicken & Red Onions. All 3 tasted fabulous. Couldn't pick a favorite if I had to. They each tasted different and they all were simply delicious. I spoke with a person who told me the owner of JoeSquared is an old-tyme pizza fanatic who went to Italy and came back with a 200-year old sourdough and that's why the crust is so delicious. Yeah, man! After dinner we walked downstairs to see 3 different bands perform some really great live music. Shout out to Blanket Approval for pulling us in to begin with. They ROCKED!!
