“ This place is amazing. They are a "mom and pop" place with the freshest of ingredients that are quality. They make the pizza from scratch and it is always a flavor explosion for your senses! Johnny is very friendly and definitely trying to help support local community in what he does. The electric works site is great and I hope it can continue to expand and give the businesses a premiere location for people to flock to regularly. It is worth the trip to try Johnny Ox pizza! We personally love the LA White and Green Ox, but have tried most of them and they all have a great flavor! ”
“ Best pizza in Fort Wayne. I will die on this hill. ”
“ This is the BEST pizza around. You can tell there’s an enormous amount of love and skill put into each pizza! From the high quality ingredients (I mean... they make their own sausage!), the delectable crust, and second-to-none Customer Service, you can’t go wrong. You can honestly tell how passionate they are with just one bite. Don’t sleep on the baked goods, either! ”
“ Real pizza. Real people. Real communication. It’s disappointing to see someone leave a 1-star review without even trying the food. Johnny Ox Pizzeria made it clear—well in advance at 1:30 PM—that they would be closing early due to a private corporate event hosted by the Do it best corp, which was completely out of their control. This is a locally owned, family-run, Black-owned business that bends over backward to serve the community with quality ingredients and real love in their food. Life happens. Unexpected things pop up. But blaming a business for something they communicated openly and didn’t cause themselves? That’s unfair. If you’re going to drive an hour for pizza, check their social media or call ahead, just like you would for any great spot. And trust me—it’s worth the trip. The pizza is , the people are kind, and you’ll always leave full and happy when you actually try it. Let’s support local businesses that care, not drag them down for things beyond their control. ”
“ Best pizza I've had in Fort Wayne. Johnny Ox pizzas are not only huge, but perfectly cooked, fresh to order. We ordered ours to take home and enjoyed a cocktail while waiting. Pizza was excellent! ”
“ Good lord, this pizza is everything you want. The pizza is the best in Fort Wayne. I’ve had their sausage, their pepperoni, and their Green Ox. All of them were phenomenal, even if it was just a slice of pepperoni. The crust has a beautiful char on it and it’s crunchy but also soft at the same time. I’ve had pizza from almost every spot in Fort Wayne, so trust me when I say that this joint is the place you’re looking for. Can’t wait to try the vegan pepperoni next. ”
“ Hands down best pizza in Fort Wayne! Lived here for 5 yrs and yet to find an amazing pizza until now! The service was wonderful and prompt! Pizza was so good, we bought 2 to bring home. The flavors on The Angel's Peruvian chicken pizza was soooo yummy! You won't be disappointed if you try it. We will be back Johnny Ox Pizzeria! Thanks for an amazing pizza experience :) I hope the local community will come out and support you guys and experience the amazing pizza and the talent you and your staff have! ”
“ Great setting at the market. Pizza by the slice was incredible. 4.50 a slice, but they were pretty good sized. I had the circle hand tossed pizza and one slice of their rectangular potentially pan pizza. Both were awesome! ”
