Chez Jo sur Aix-En-Provence

Great food, staff and atmosphere.

On a weekend in Aix, we decide to look for a pizzeria in the old town for lunch. At Jo's it's crowded but the owner suggests that we come back in a moment, which we do and our table is waiting for us. The room is small and it is not easy to sit and move around as the tables are so crowded. Before talking about the cuisine I would like to compliment the owners and the waiters: friendliness, smile, responsiveness, availability... Concerning the cuisine I will be less tender but I must point out that we live less than 45 minutes from the Ligurian coast and are used to eating Italian among Italians....at Jo's, no pizza with a blown edge like at Naples or very large pizzas with crunchy dough like in Rome. Pizza the diameter of the plate, any dough neither soft nor crispy, no mozzarella but a cheese with an aggressive taste like Comté or industrial made especially for pizza makers. As for the price, staggering! In Ventimiglia, the equivalent of what I ate (cheese pizza commonly called Marguerite or Neapolitan) is charged 7.50 or 8.00 euros. I paid 17.00 euros!!!! Given the good reception at Jo, this establishment deserves to stand out from the competition on site. Exit the bad industrial cheese and a short day of training for the pizza maker to make and cook a delicious, soft and at the same time crispy dough like our transalpine friends...

Atmosphere spoiled by a customer who allowed herself to speak badly to the pizza chef.

1st experience: very very good pizzas, pleasant service, place suspended in 1975 certainly, which also makes it charming. I recommend this establishment.

A native of Aix, I can only compliment an establishment that honors our city and takes care of its customers (p.s. the pepper filet with homemade fries is a must 😋)

At Jo, the cream escalope with fries is simply killer! The meat is tender, the sauce creamy and full of flavor, and the fries perfectly crispy. A real treat that is worth the detour. If you are looking for a dish that comforts and delights, this is the one you absolutely must try!

Always well received (even without having booked!). Tasty and generous cuisine...don't hesitate but book 🙃😀

Friendly welcome, excellent pizzas. To redo

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée dans cet établissement. Les pizzas sont délicieuses les plats et desserts mention spéciale pour les profiteroles ! sont très bons également. L’accueil et le service étaient parfaits , les serveurs sont efficaces et souriants . Bravo

Repas en famille un midi. Tout s'est bien passé. Le rapport qualité-prix n'est pas exceptionnel. Cela fait le job et je pense qu'il doit y avoir des pépites. Cela n'empêche pas l'établissement d'être plein tous les midis
