Well, there’s a new restaurant in town. Everybody loves Pizza Joe’s Taste of Buffalo, which has only been in town for nine months. They are making a big splash! This is the taste of Buffalo right here in Palm Harbor. I personally never had food from Buffalo until Melissa hooked me up. She’s from Buffalo and assured me it would be the best food I’ve ever tasted. I had doubts but was willing to go along and at least try it. Melissa told me about a sub-sandwich called the Royal, which got my attention, and I will talk about the Royal later. So off we went to Pizza Joe’s.
As you approach the entrance, you know what type of ambiance and atmosphere you are heading into. This is Bill’s Country. I prefer the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have won many Super Bowls. Sorry, Buffalo Fans, maybe you can celebrate a Super Bowl win one day. When you open the door, you will see it is decorated with iconic Buffalo Bills memorabilia throughout the dining area. It’s nice to see the different Bills memorabilia that has probably been collected for years. As a collector, I respect the time and effort spent. Plenty of seating, so you don’t have to worry about that. We found our seats and our server approached us with a big smile. Her name was Sissy, part owner, and she explained what was on the menu matter of fact, she did an outstanding job. We ordered a large pepperoni cheese pizza, hot wings, naked wings, and the Royal sub sandwich.
We started with the Royal sub sandwich on Buffalo’s famous Constazo’s rolls. The royal is made with Sausage & Cappicola. Sausage and Cappicloa are my favorites, and I had to try the royal. On the royal, we ordered lettuce, tomato, provolone cheese, oil, mayo, and onion on a toasted Contazo roll. John, also part owner, said all subs rolls are toasted. In my opinion, that’s a good thing. This sub is the bomb! What a great combination of the sausage and Cappicola that tops this sub sandwich. Try this sub, and you won’t go wrong.
The large 16″ pepperoni cheese pizza is big enough to serve four. The crust was cooked to perfection. Pizza Joe’s also has by-the-slice if you desire. They also have specialty pizza like taco pizza with ground beef, salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, and 2 cheeses. this pizza is only served on Tuesdays. Sissy’s Sicilian pizza is with 100% olive oil, tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Papa Harry’s Steak is made with steak, mushrooms, onions, peppers, and 4 cheeses. Next on the menu was the chicken wings. The wings were very crispy and were served with celery, carrots, and blue cheese. The hot sauce on the wings was outstanding. A special note from John and Sissy Wings will take up to 20 minutes, so take that into account. But it’s well worth the wait.
Pizza Joe’s Taste of Buffalo is a great place to eat. Their food is special because they use top-notch ingredients. You can tell that John and Sissy really love working and making people feel at home. So, when you want a taste of Buffalo or a Bills fan or want great food, check them out.

I totally agree with Tony. Being from Buffalo you truly understand the importance of great food. My wife and I order from Pizza Joes fairly often and will continue to do so. Keep up the great work. “GO BILLS”🏈🏈
Thanks, John, for the comment.
From Buffalo, it is great to be able to get Buffalo food here in Tampa Fl.. We love it. We even celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary with all of our childrens, wife and grandson. If you want great food go to Pizza-Joe. Everyone that we have taken to Puzza-Joe cannot wait to go back. Check it out. You will not be disappointed.
