Chez Jo sur Aix-En-Provence

At Jo's, we know why we go and why we keep coming back! A traditional restaurant like they used to make, homemade food, wood-fired pizzas, and a warm welcome... it's like being at home! Congratulations to this team who help us create our family memories 🥰

As a former tourist who has since become a resident of Aix-en-Provence, I frequented this establishment from my very first visits as a tourist, and again after settling in the city. This allows me to confidently say, with a degree of perspective, that this restaurant is anything but a tourist trap. An establishment celebrating 50 years in business has nothing left to prove: the consistency and loyalty of its clientele speak for themselves. True tourist traps, on the other hand, never last. When you've taken the time to travel, both in France and abroad, you learn to distinguish authentic places from purely opportunistic establishments. This distinction, it seems, isn't obvious to everyone. Before judging, one must have solid points of comparison. Here, they have existed for half a century.

A restaurant my sweetheart and I adore, and where we've been coming for years. The food is always top-notch and the atmosphere is super pleasant. The owner is very kind and welcoming; we really feel at home there. A sure bet, we always come back with pleasure!

Excellent food and friendly staff!! Great find 😋

We were told this restaurant was "the best pizzeria/restaurant in Aix-en-Provence" (which is false). The pizzas were good, but the waiter was very unpleasant. A man in his thirties. Not a smile on his face, not pleasant at all. We only ordered pizzas—six pizzas for six people (since it's a pizzeria/restaurant)—and he made a comment about not ordering a "real meal" in an annoyed tone. He seemed irritated for almost the entire meal. We all felt very awkward ordering only pizzas instead of meals. The service was redeemed by a very kind waitress who created a much better atmosphere, but we were quite disappointed. I'm sure I won't be going back.

Great restaurant, we had a wonderful meal, everything was delicious, and the service was top-notch 👌 a great find!

Excellent welcome and very good meal

A warm welcome and an excellent daily special!!! I highly recommend it!

The meal was really good...the server was really unpleasant. We asked him a few questions about the menu and the crowd...is it because we're from Quebec or something else? He's really not very pleasant. I held back from telling him to go away.

Fantastic wood fired pizza! Cheese, ham, and mushrooms were fresh and tasty. The chili pepper oil was a great condiment to the pizza. Being American we generously poured it on while the nearby French patrons looked on with surprise and giggles of laughter.
