Because we get our pizza fixes from various places, I don't know the dynamics at Joe's and can't differentiate between the pies made by Sam versus Dan. That being said, I have had some pretty fail pizza pies from Joe's before... Think of dense flat pizza shells that were reminiscent of the pizza shell stuff you can buy at grocery stores.<br /><br />I prefer to get it at a place that is known for their poutine when I want to eat poutine -- which isn't very often.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563467810218875955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332820353313357807.post-52177609270232460902013-04-02T23:49:49.466-04:002013-04-02T23:49:49.466-04:00I know I'm late wading into this discussion bu...I know I'm late wading into this discussion but as a long time Joe's customer I have some insight into this restaurant. There are really two Joe's Pizza places. One when Sam is working and the other when Dan is cooking. Dan makes an amazing pie but is only there evenings except Sunday and Monday. Sam is there during the day and the quality is not the same. Not the same at all. As for the poutine, I am in full agreement that it is hideous. Powdered gravy and shredded mozzarella does not make for good poutine. I only order the pies and only then when Dan is working. The difference is unfortunate. <br /><br />p.s. the worst poutine I ever had was made with shredded marble cheese and turkey gravy. In a just world you could be executed for that.<br /><br />CheersMechmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00965734060206612839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332820353313357807.post-2686837103950011052012-09-23T23:41:12.549-04:002012-09-23T23:41:12.549-04:00I agree with you that if something on the menu isn...I agree with you that if something on the menu isn't good, then it shouldn't be sold. Just because my opinion is that Joe's Pizza makes one of the best greasy pizzas in Ottawa, it doesn't mean that everything on their menu is great as well. This is one reason why I like to stick to familiar establishments and order what I'm used to. (Another reason is that I have terrible luck whenever I choose to try a new dish.)<br /><br />Your first comment stated that "...Joe's pizza has terrible food..." And that's your opinion. That's fine. How was the pizza you received, though? Was it also lacking? Finally, where do you get your favourite greasy pizza fix in Ottawa?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563467810218875955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332820353313357807.post-9892435386232941722012-09-23T21:52:49.994-04:002012-09-23T21:52:49.994-04:00By the way, did you ever see the actual photo of t...By the way, did you ever see the actual photo of the poutine they sent?

Then there are ones I wouldn't serve to my own dog. Joe's falls into the last category.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01499358554612940086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332820353313357807.post-28584811070653363282012-09-23T21:49:38.287-04:002012-09-23T21:49:38.287-04:00In your view it is OK for a business to put food o...In your view it is OK for a business to put food on the menu that is not up to standard? Because in my view, if it isn't good you shouldn't put it on the menu. Chef's need to have quality standards, anyone should believe that. Maybe he should just stick to pizzas and subs and take the rest of the stuff off the menu, that is my point.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01499358554612940086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332820353313357807.post-67729460566925295812012-09-23T06:02:02.556-04:002012-09-23T06:02:02.556-04:00Hi Martman, I did not receive any compensation of ...Hi Martman, I did not receive any compensation of any kind. We've been enjoying their pizzas since elementary school. We still enjoy their pizzas to this day.<br /><br />In regards to your comments about the poutine and salad; what do you expect from a pizza place? Whenever we order pizzas, we stick to the pizzas, chicken wings (occasionally), and soft drinks. And let's not lie, chicken wings you get at small pizza establishments are more than likely over-fried sad little dry things.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563467810218875955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332820353313357807.post-26239755444850190372012-09-22T23:11:04.042-04:002012-09-22T23:11:04.042-04:00ugh...
