Joe's Italian Bistro - Allen

Joe's Italian Bistro is a local Italian diner that fits the stereotypical strip shopping center Americanized version of Italian food. The food is pretty decent. When my daughter and I had a regular weekday dinner there, there were four older ladies who came together and talked about her life and her family (I tried not to eavesdrop...but they spoke very clearly to my table)... what really is what it is about in a restaurant (joint experiences about meals). With regard to our meal, the pizza is quite good (I have the anchovy... which is normally not served in other facilities), although not unforgettable. My daughter thought her baby part of the lasagna was delicious. Overall, it is a nice place to go when you live in Allen and want something local and Italian as well as something else than Olive Garden.

Absolutely loved this place. It?s a hometown small non chain pizza and Italian food eatery. The service was great and they were very quick. The food was great and the prices were very reasonable. We will be coming back again with the family.

Joe's is great! My family and I have been there 2x now and everything we've ordered has been fantastic. Looking forward to our next visit!

First time ordering from Joe?s. My son had the baked Ziti and really liked it but did say he wishes it was a bit more saucy. I?m a sauce person as well so I understand. Overall he said the flavor was really good. I sampled one of the garlic bread rolls and they were phenomenal! Wife and I shared a pizza with typical supreme deluxe toppings and it was good. When trying to match flavor I would say like Papa Murphy?s but with a lot less salt which is nice. It?s a solid ?????? pizza. Overall I?m giving 4 stars as they are more than pizza.

Such a beautiful place, I had the seafood combo. Had shrimp, calamari, muscles, and clams a little on the soupy side but good. The waiter was really nice she did a great job making sure we were good on everything.
