Ian and Jojo's Pizzeria and Restaurant

Great staff and atmosphere. Everyone welcomed us just like family. One of the best Italian Restaurants by far. The foods was golden! And the prices were great for the amount and great quality of dinner we brought home.
We'll definitely be returning customers 🍕🍝🏆

This place goes above and beyond to satisfy their customers. The food is delicious, the portions are hearty and the atmosphere is wonderful. Customer service is exceptional. And if you get the chance to sit outside, it just makes the whole experience so much more personal.
The menu has many options. From pizza (whole or by the slice) and paninis to pasta and seafood. Every dish is satisfying and leaves you wanting more. If you save room for dessert, you won't be disappointed.

Annie was an amazing server! The food and dessert were fresh, authentic Italian fare. The veal entrees were top-notch. You can tell the chef cooked with love. We will definitely be back. A must stop while in Waynesville.

randomly stopped in for dinner while traveling. I specifically wanted pasta to carb load for a big bike ride the next day. ordered the baked ziti and the portion was HUGE and delicious. I also got carrot cake for later. the server was great. definitely coming back next time I'm in the area

My mother went for lunch one day. She had a fabulous time and connected with Annie. My mom is Sicilian and so a few weeks later it was my 96 yr old grandmother's birthday and we all went there. We had a fabulous time, food was great, service was even better, and my grandmother had a very warm welcome and memorable time. My grandmother ordered the Linguine Frutti Di Mare. Brought back many memories for her as so glad she had a great time for her 96th!!!

So let me start by saying my kids went into this restaurant acting like wild animals. Laughing with eachother just being kids, obviously I
Was stressing, not wanting them to bother anyone!!!! Well let me tell you, ALL the employees were laughing with them, they were chatting with them and kept assuring me that it was totally fine that they were just being kids. Okay so on to the food...... Holy Cannoli AMAZING is the only word that comes to mind. We started with Garlic knots, they were so good you could easily tell they were made with fresh dough, and you got 6 of them for 4 bucks 😍. We then got a supreme pizza, stromboli, and a kids spaghetti!!!!! Okay so the pizza was delicious all fresh ingredients, they definitely did not slack on the meats at all. It was massive, like the 18" could feed at least 3 people easily. The stromboli was so good again the dough all tastes so fresh. That leaves me to the kids spaghetti and meatballs. Goooood gravy. Huge portion and 3 huge meatballs all for $5 you literally will not find a better deal. And bonus is tasted amazing too. Their sauce is fantastic. Authentic Italian food and Italian owners. I talked to one of the owners for a few minutes and he was so kind, to me and especially my kiddos and that is very important to me. He explained how they make the pizzas he thanked me numerous times I told him this was without a doubt the BEST Italian food I have had in a very long time. The entire dinner I kept thinking how excited I was to get to do this review. There was not one complaint everything was delicious. And we almost just went to grab fast food tonight! I am SO glad we chose to come to Ian and Jojos instead. I recommend this place to EVERYONE. What a amazing restaurant, amazing staff, perfect food and wonderful owner. Thank you so much for having us and being so kind to my little ones!!!

Ahhhhhmazing food. Very sweet waitress. She was an absolute pleasure to speak with and her great personality only made the outstanding food all the better

I loved this restaurant! On our first visit the owner escorted us to a private deck, explained the menu personally, and turned Italian music on. Our waitress was exceptional and kind and the food was very delicious, hot, and authentic. The wings are excellent, and the Mia Nona and wings are 10/10. Excellent service! Annie is exceptional!

The owner, Annie is very attentive to the customers and makes sure everyone is having an enjoyable time and is satisfied with their food.. The garlic knots were so soft and delightful, the crust on calzones were sweet they did not skimp on toppings, the pizza was excellent too! These people clearly know what they are doing when they make this delicious food and it is nice to go to a good family owned/operated restaurant where you can tell they actually care and genuinely work hard to do an excellent job for you. 5 stars!

Great quality pizza! The dough has a nice crisp on the outside with minimal sag, but the inside is still fluffy and soft. I personally reccomend the Nona Mia (I think that's what it was called) Pizza, it's very different from a traditional pie, but it's delicious.

Good familiar business in town, friendly people, good food (real italian chef) (co-owner). Very nice place to enjoy with friends and family.

My boyfriend and I went in at around four today for the first time ever and we absolutely loved their Margarita Pizza! We also ended up ordering stuffed garlic knots, and wings as appetizers which were also fantastic and super yummy! Everything was mega fresh, and Annie was wonderful and we really appreciated her hard work and stellar service.

We hope this business is around for many years to come, because it will now be our pizza joint of choice.

Also they served many other dishes besides pizza, so their is some nice diversity in their menu.

Thank you for the wonderful dinner!

THIS IS AMAZING! Throw a dart at the menu and what comes out of the kitchen will amaze you! We have eaten here at least 10 or more times and every time we leave happy! Each dish is unique and doesn't just taste like the same sauce and pasta, like most "Italian" places. The pizza is to die for and the appitizers are soooo good! You are doing a disservice to yourself if you don't stop by for a bite! Ian and Jojo are the best good bois but their parents make the best food! Anyone putting negitive reviews is absolutely crazy! Resturants in Waynesville better step up their game! Two little doggys are going to put you all out of business!

Had the pleasure of dining here for lunch on a recent mountain trip. Everything about our experience was wonderful- the food, our waitress Annie and the spooky decorations. The portions were big- my pasta primavera was enough for three meals. The meatballs, sauce and pizza were delicious. Annie was so sweet and the best server we’ve ever had. We are both from NY and and you could taste it in this very authentic Italian cuisine. We look forward to dining again!

Must try the fettuccine Alfredo, Lasagna and stuffed garlic knots!!! We stopped in for drinks and a appetizer for lunch and was so impressed with the staff and quality of the food we came back for dinner. Annie provided the best service, she is awesome. If looking for authentic Italian food with great customer service this is your place!!!!

My husband ate here for our first dinner visiting Waynesville. It was delicious! Fresh ingredients, amazing white cheese pizza with ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella; we added chicken. I tried a side of the tomato sauce and it was definitely made from scratch! Annie was our server and was very kind and accommodating. We would definitely recommend! Quiet, enjoyable environment with lovely decor and delicious food. The dessert case looked awesome as well.

This place is amazing! The pizza is simply the best I have ever had. Not only was the food great but the restaurant is beautiful and clean! Me and my family went in a private room decorated for the holidays. Our waitress, Heather, was very nice and gave us our food quickly. One of our pizzas came a little late, but they handled it wonderfully, despite this miner mistake, me and my family’s experience was great! The owner was super nice and had a conversation with us towards the end of our meal.

Overall, if you looking for a good place to have a nice meal with your family, or just by yourself! This is the place to be!

I just had the best mushroom-filled ravioli of my life here. The parmesan cream sauce was fantastic also. My spinach salad was really fresh.
This is probably the 6th time we've been here, over the 6 months of living in the area.
It's consistently great. We always get desserts to go, also.
Look for the waitress named Annie, she's first rate. She really cares, is efficient, and just a pleasant person.
It's a family owned business and it shows. Today I was warmly greeted by not one but four friendly people!

The food was excellent and portions very good. My better half ordered the lasgna and was super happy. I ordered the chicken catchatore, which was delicious. The Italian red wine was lovely and not overpriced. Our service was wonderful and fast. My better half had room for carrot cake. If you can sit in Annie's section, please do. She is absolutely wonderful and won't steer you wrong. Enjoy

One word-amazing. The owner, Annie, really makes you feel welcome and spent time talking to us even though every table in the place was taken. The ingredients were quality- the mushrooms on the pizza were first sautéed in butter and garlic not just slopped out is a can. Fresh Spinach, great service and a home feel. When looking into the front window, don't be fooled by looking at the cold pizzas in the previous pastry case and under utilized bar area- the front of the place needs to be fixed, but the large seating area in the side back area is full of customers. Try this place - the caring owner and quality ingredients is key - you will love it!!
