Pizza Joe's

Pizza Joe’s in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, is a family‑run pizza haven that has been feeding the community since 1985, when Albert Ritchie opened the first franchise on Spring Avenue. Today, Daniel Ritchie greets guests at the counter, embodying the friendly, down‑home spirit that defines the brand.

Open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 am to 9 pm (10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays) and closed on Mondays, Pizza Joe’s serves a classic menu of hand‑tossed pies, including the signature “Joe’s Original” pepperoni‑and‑cheese, a hearty “Meat Lovers” loaded with sausage, bacon and ham, and a fresh “Garden Veggie” topped with seasonal vegetables. Specials rotate weekly and include a “Two‑for‑One” deal on large pies and a “Family Feast” combo that adds garlic knots, a side salad and a 2‑L soda. Diners can enjoy the casual interior featuring red‑brick walls, vintage pizza‑parlor signage, and a community board showcasing local high‑school sports. Takeout and DoorDash delivery are available, and the restaurant accepts online orders through its website. With a 4‑star rating from over 300 reviewers, Pizza Joe’s is praised for its generous portions, quick service, and the warm, neighborhood vibe that makes every visit feel like coming home.
