It can be very, very difficult to find quality Italian in the state, with chains like the Olive Garden dominating the restaurant landscape. But if you’ve got a hankering for a classic Italian pizza, thankfully the family-owned Joe’s Pizza & Pasta bucks the trend, offering all your favorites in massive portions for reasonable prices. Regulars rave about the meatball subs and the wide variety of pasta dishes, including an excellent lobster ravioli. The pies are New York style, made from scratch and cooked in a traditional pizza oven with a variety of excellent toppings. The ambience isn’t much to speak of, but the service is some of the friendliest in town, especially to regulars. Joe’s Pizza & Pasta is a fine example of the old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover.”
