Had a great lunch! One of the daily specials was a 2-topping personal pizza and a salad for $7.99. I upgraded to a specialty pizza for a bit more. Both were great! I really liked their house (creamy italian) dressing. The pizza had a ton of toppings and a good sauce! The beer selection was pretty good as well. I will be back to try some of their sandwiches and other menu items!

1st time my husband Brett and I experienced eating at Joe's! Our pizza was beyond delicious! Our server, Tina was a sweetheart as well! The building decor is very pretty, clean and inviting. We can't wait to go back and try some of the other menu items!

Stopped by Joe’s on a recent visit back home to see family. We were a party of eight and the staff quickly cleaned and pushed together tables on the main dining room. The other option would have been a private area in the back of the restaurant, which I’d recommend if you have a big party—and call in advance to reserve it! The little ones in our group were entertained with Joe’s Kid’s Menu coloring sheets. We started out with a delicious bruschetta appetizer that was covered in fresh tomatoes and great for sharing. The kids snacked on an 8” cheese pizza, served with stuff breadsticks. On to entrees. The pizza: we got deep dish. It was crispy on the outside and covered with gooey cheese and fresh tomato sauce. It’s A LOT of food, and you’ll be full by the second piece. Sandwiches. Also big portions. The Italian sausage was the standout—one of the best items we tried. The Italian beef was pretty standard. Juicy and flavored perfectly. Don’t be afraid to swap the fries with fried green beans! Pastas: cooked perfectly and covered with house made sauces, fettuccini or tomato. I loved the angel hair, it wasn’t too heavy and was far from bland. The service is quick and professional and the space is comfortable for a date night or a family affairs like ours. You should check out downtown Herrin’s newest spot!

Pictures really does it no justice, and my waitress was absolutely amazing. I'm from Texas and prior to coming in I met a lot of not so nice an friendly folks. She was a breath of fresh air to say the least, the food was Amazing as well. Highly recommend coming here if you are within a 50 Mike radius.

Located conveniently near Herrin hospital. Great food, clean environment, friendly staff. Love their sweet sauce! We had their new Parmesan Bites appetizers (waitress recommended) and the Joe's Deluxe pizza. Both were fantastic! Did not disappoint. A+++

Best lasagna I've ever eaten. I'm not a big fan of lasagna but it's the greatest. The serving is enough to reheat at home for a second meal. Truly, I'm addicted. Great service and atmosphere as well!!!

★★★★★ A Herrin Gem with Delicious Food and Great Service! Joe's Pizza and Pasta in Herrin is an absolute must-try! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a welcoming atmosphere. There are plenty of tables, and a spacious dining area in the back is perfect for larger groups or when they're busy. Our drink orders were taken and delivered lightning fast, a great start to the meal. The food orders followed suit, arriving in a timely manner, and everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my Pasta Primavera – it was piping hot and absolutely awesome. Everyone else in our group, who ordered a mix of pizza and pasta dishes, raved about their food as well. The only minor drawback is the street parking, which can be a bit scarce if you don't arrive early. However, there's a convenient lot just around the corner that's pretty close, so it's a non-issue once you know about it. Considering the fantastic quality of the food, the efficient service, and the reasonable pricing, Joe's Pizza and Pasta is truly a standout. I'll definitely be returning for another fantastic meal!

Excellent pizza and cheese sticks. Service was outstanding and wait was brief. Plenty of seats with tables and booths. Multiple big screens throughout the area with various entertainment airing. Anything from the weather channel, The Big Bang theory, SpongeBob, to the game. Just sit near the one that has your interest. It appeared the dining area was set up with that in mind. Very good experience all around. 40ish miles from home and well worth the drive. We will absolutely return.
