Pizza John's is a self-service Italian restaurant and Carry Out located in Essex, Maryland. We were established in 1966 and have been family-owned and operated since. Our belief is that fresh is best — fresh dough for pizza, fresh grated cheeses, and slow-cooked homemade sauces. We even use fresh butcher-cut meat in preparing our food. With our 2012 expansion and renovation, we can seat over 300 guests in 5 dining rooms.
