4.0 of 5 stars. I went for a family lunch a few weeks ago, and it was seriously the first time I'd been to the restaurant in ten years or so. My mom and I split the eggplant sandwich, and it was definitely big...

Best I Ever Had

It was a few years ago, but when I was visiting Lexington, my cousin took me here. It was the best pizza I ever had to this day. I don't know if Joe Bologna will remember, but I took him and his fam...

4.0 of 5 stars. I like their breadsticks, their homemade salad dressing, the lasagna, and the reasonable prices. I remembered eating here as a kid (OK I remember the big pool of butter and breadstick) and was...

4.0 of 5 stars. Situated in an old converted Presbyterian church/Jewish synagogue (as per their menu and website) the place is architecturally unique for a restaurant. It was related to me that the breadsticks are to...

Okay, but that's about it.

Sometime was lost in the past 4-5 years. Everything is mediocre. "good enough" - but not terrific.

Yelp.com Review - by pedro s.

4.0 of 5 stars. I agree with Adam A. I must rebut these other negative reviews which are unwarranted. And I will confirm that it IS a converted synagogue.

Legendary Joe B's by Andrea S. at InsiderPages

I've been going to Joe B's since the early 70's. The bread sticks are awesome, as are the pizzas, and pastas, but I most always try a different pizza. Atmosphere is casual in a converted church. Expect a wait...

Awesome garlic bread sticks by Kimberly B. at InsiderPages

You must get their famous bread stick. Pizza and other entrees are all good. It's located in a renovated church. Neat atmosphere. You can also eat on the balcony.

4.0 of 5 stars. OK, well, it's not manna from heaven, but it's some great pizza in my experience, and the wait staff is hit or miss, which a reasonable person should expect from a place like this. I didn't expect to...

2.0 of 5 stars. It seems to be some sort of UK tradition or something, but I don't get it. I always seemed to end up there with big groups celebrating something or other. I never once went here by choice. It's...

Now that my daughter is a student at UK I have a good reason to return to an old favorite. As good, if not better, than it was twenty years ago Joe B's is hands down the best pizza in Lexington. There is no...

This restaurant is living off of its reputation it received in the early '70's when its pizza was much better and a whole lot thicker. Joe B's pizza today is just a shadow of its former self and would not win...

A Lexington Lexicon

Joe Bologna's is probably the best pizza in town. However, their pizza is so good, one often forgets their other great dishes. Try a salad, some lazagna, or one of their great grinders as well. They've been...
