“She makes an excellent old fashioned”
Food was just ok...not bad but not good. Service was definitely lacking.
I picked up a large pizza with 2 toppings and an order of calamari. To my surprise the bill was $40.
Ordered a small stuffed pizza half jalapeno and garlic for $30. Was inedible, completely soggy from the bottom.

“Friday night dinner at Joe’s on Higgins in Chicago with the family.”
Friday night dinner at Joe’s on Higgins in Chicago with the family! Started off with the Tito’s and tonic cocktail. They brought out a fresh baked bread, basket with olive oil and cheese. We ordered two appetizers, fried calamari and Arancini. If you don’t know what arancini is, it’s a fried rice ball stuff with meat and cheese, topped with marinara sauce. Delicious! For dinner we ordered two pizzas, thin crust half pepperoni and half sausage. The other pizza was recommended by our server Katie and that was the vodka burrata pizza. Vodka burrata pizza has sausage, vodka sauce,burrata cheese and fresh basil. it was outstanding! They had live music, which was the piano man. he was doing a lot of Billy Joel songs. . I believe every Friday night they try to have entertainment. Our server Katie was awesome. Couldn’t have been a more perfect night. Joe’s on Higgins has an extensive menu from pasta and chicken Dishes, and desserts. you have to try their cannolis and cheesecakes. For five people including tip came to $155 So here’s the real question would I go back? absolutely!!

We celebrated our son's college graduation with a party of 75 guests, and this restaurant absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was warm, festive, and beautifully set up for the occasion. The owners and staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect—truly outstanding service. The food? Incredible. Every bite was a delight—from the perfectly crispy pizzas to the tender chicken, savory meatballs, and rich, flavorful pasta. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. Whether you're planning a large gathering or just grabbing takeout for the night, I wholeheartedly recommend this gem. It’s not just a place to eat—it’s a place to celebrate life’s moments.

“Came for the food, will return for service and many meals to come.”
Came for the food, will return for service and many meals to come! We heard good things about this location and we had a lovely meal. We ordered the eggplant stack which came breaded to perfection. The minestrone was deliciously homemade, hearty and well seasoned. The chicken parm features their famous marinara and the chicken limone was well balanced. Only regret was not having room for dessert.

“Alyssa was our server and she was absolutely wonderful.”
Alyssa was our server and she was absolutely wonderful! Very kind, efficient, quick, and has a wonderful personality! I will definitely be coming back just for her, she made my first experience here absolutely amazing! The fettuccine Alfredo was really good, the fried calamari was BOMB, and the ceased salad was also basic but very good. I also had the blackberry lemon drop drink and the mistletoe margarita and they were very tasty and get you feeling lit. I recommend this place as a good dinner date or celebration dinner place. Again, Alyssa was awesome!!!

Tried Joe’s on Higgins for the first time, and it was a great experience overall. The staff was friendly, and we ordered a 16-inch pizza with sausage, pepperoni, and ricotta—it was pretty good! The ziti alla vodka with burrata, however, was absolutely delicious.

This was my third time at Joe's & this time I had Chicken Parmesan, I've had their pizza which I always order & is true Chicago pizza but the pasta was fantastic. The service has always been top notch & I love the atmosphere. You feel at home. It's a true neighborhood restaurant.

“Really cute space.”
Really cute space. TVs for watching the game. Little party room in the back. Lots of windows for natural lighting. Outdoor patio section in the warmer months. Pizza was solid! My 16 yo son really loved the cheese sticks! My husband went back the next day for more bruschetta! The service was friendly.

“I got deliver from door dash.”
I got deliver from door dash. I had read about this place on Chicago Eater and on Reddit. I live in the neighborhood but grew up having Dino’s. I figured I’d try something new. Damn, this is now my favorite pizza. I love the crisp of the crust and the well-done style. I already want more!
