🌟 Joe’s Team Spotlight: Sean 🌟
Meet Sean — one of those people at Joe’s who seems to end up doing a little bit of everything.
Sean has been with Joe’s for 12 years and you may know him as one of our phone people, a pizza maker, or one of our delivery drivers. He’s also always willing to jump in wherever we need him — including recently helping us build our new pop closet!
But Sean does have one very important specialty…
🔥 Well-Done Pizza Extraordinaire 🔥
If you like your pizza crispy, extra well done, maybe even borderline burnt depending on who you ask… Sean is your guy. 😂🍕
After 12 years, Sean has become part of so many different pieces of Joe’s, and we’re happy to have him on the team.
Give Sean some love in the comments — and tell us: regular bake or WELL DONE? 🍕🔥

🚨 OK, BEEF PEOPLE… WE NEED ANSWERS. 🚨
We already know Italian beef is one of those foods where everybody has an opinion. 😂
But we just saw something that got us thinking…
IF you add cheese to your Italian beef, where does it belong?
🧀 A: Melted directly onto the bread FIRST, then the beef goes on top.
🔥 B: Beef first, cheese on TOP so it melts all over the beef.
😳 C: Cheese on an Italian beef?! Absolutely not.
And because we know this is coming…
💦 BONUS QUESTION: Dry, dipped, or somewhere in between?
👇 Sound off in the comments. We have a feeling this one could get controversial.

🍲 Monday: Cream of Chicken Gnocchi
🥣 Tuesday: Reenie’s Chicken Dumpling — because some traditions don’t change!

👨🍳 NEXT TEAM SPOTLIGHT: MEET JACK! 🍕
If you’ve ever enjoyed a pizza from Joe’s, you’ve enjoyed the results of Jack’s hard work!
For more than 30 years, Jack has been the master behind our dough—making it from scratch, carefully weighing each portion, and rolling it to just the right size. His experience, consistency, and craftsmanship help make every Joe’s pizza special.
Jack is one of the many dedicated people working behind the scenes to carry on the traditions our customers have loved for generations.
Thank you, Jack, for more than three decades of hard work and for being such an important part of the Joe’s family! ❤️🍕

💳 A little thing we think matters.
You’ve probably noticed that more and more businesses are adding a credit card processing fee when you pay with a card.
At Joe’s, we’ve made the decision not to pass that fee along to you.
Credit card processing fees are a real expense for us — just like electricity, payroll, pizza bags, and all the other costs that come with running a restaurant.
But the way we look at it, accepting credit cards is simply part of doing business today. If we choose to accept them, we feel the cost of accepting them belongs to us — not you.
So whether you pay with cash or card, the price on the menu is the price you pay. ❤️🍕
It may be a small thing, but it’s one of the ways we want to take care of the people who continue to support our little family-owned restaurant.
Thank you, as always, for supporting Joe’s Italian Villa. ❤️

Apparently Facebook likes when businesses ask people to LIKE & FOLLOW their page… so here we are. 😂
We’re just a humble little family-owned pizza place in Palos Heights, making all of the things homemade, just like we always have — meatballs, Italian beef, sausage links, lasagna, and an entire pizza made from scratch, from the dough to the sauce. Even our sausage is homemade, and our cheese is a blend of three cheeses. Of course, there’s Reenie’s soup, too, along with introducing you to some of the characters who make Joe’s what it is and occasionally starting very serious arguments about things like whether pepperoni belongs under or over the cheese. 🍕😂
So if you enjoy following along, do us a little favor and LIKE & FOLLOW our page.
And if you already do — THANK YOU. Seriously. ❤️
Every like, comment, share, recommendation and person you tell about Joe’s helps a little family-owned place like ours more than you probably realize.
