Long-standing, old-school spot for NY-style pizzas in a basic space with Yankees memorabilia.
Q’s Reviews
Johnny’s pizzeria is a very well-known spot in Westchester. That being said, the pizza and food were phenomenal. We got the fried ravioli and the regular plain pie with a bottle of seltzer water.
It was a phenomenal. We killed the pizza in less than 10 minutes between the two of us.
The fried ravioli was absolutely amazing.
The one thing I will say is the service was very good but the Pizza took forever to be served to us about a 30 minute wait from when we were sitting down and had placed our order. I was not very happy with this but then again the pizza was very good.

Outstanding pizza bridging New York and New Haven style. Super-crisp, pleasantly ashy crust, tangy sauce, and just enough cheese to avoid greasiness. If you live nearby, it’s probably your go-to; if not, you’ll wish it were.

Arrived about 40 minutes after opening, was seated immediately and order placed in less than 5 min. Place was packed and more people coming in as we waited for our sausage pie. Wait time for the pie was about 35-40 minutes and I must say it was truly worth it. The pie came out steaming and smelling of pizza heaven, when pulling a slice apart the sausage held in place. The crust was pizza perfection, the under carriage crispy with no flop, even with the extra topping. There sauce was the excellent fresh and light. Already planning my next visit. Only 17 minutes from the Bronx. Parking can be a bit tricky. I recommend parking on the side streets across from Johnny and the gas station.

I had been to Johnny’s many years ago and witnessed a fight between a customer and one of the wait staff, which definitely put me off for a while. Decided to try it again in the hopes that things had improved. This was my experience: went on a weekday to avoid any wait time. Got a table immediately. Our waitress did not welcome us, introduce herself, or even give us half a smile. We ordered a soup to share and 2 pizzas. The food was very good and did live up to the local reputation that Johnnys has. Halfway through our meal, the waitress abandoned us without saying anything at all. Another waitress showed up – also did not introduce herself, but she was slightly nicer. The decor is old and outdated. The decor looks like it has been around since 1942 when this spot opened – feels outdated. They don’t take reservations (except for larger parties I believe) and they don’t take cards – cash only. Parking is very tricky, their lot is small and tough to navigate getting in and out. Good food. Not great service.

Great family owned pizzeria right in the heart of Mount Vernon. The atmosphere is cozy and warm.
Super thin crust pizza might not be for everyone, but I love it. Make sure to order a little more than a typical pizza place, go for the large!
The parking is kind of limited, but you can park around the corner.

Believe the hype! Have been meaning to come here ever since moving to Westchester 5 years ago and Johnny’s did not disappoint. The pizza is great, the service is warm and welcoming, and you’ll feel like right, you’re right at home. Highly recommend the garden salad, calamari, and of course a large pie. Only two strange quirks about this place: they only accept cash, and they won’t serve you tap water (bottled only). But well worth a visit!

Salad was great with their Cesar dressing. The pepperoni pizza was delicious too. But the cheese pie lacked cheese on it. There was more sauce and dough. I really liked how the pie was thin, it gave the pie a perfect crunch. Table service on the other hand was not what I had expected. I hoped for a positive connection from the staff. Overall, it’s a good pizzeria to try and to experience their 3-generation owned establishment.

No wonder all pizza reviews say that NY pizza tastes the best. They are correct. If you are in the area this place is an absolute must.
We started with a house salad. It was loaded with lettuce, of course, 2 wedges of tomatoes, 2 kinds of olives, red onions, cucumbers, cheese and hot peppers. The house dressing was a perfect balance of vinegar and a bit of oil, I assume. As for the pizza, we ordered a sausage pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms.
The crust was super thin, light and crunchy. It held up as a NY pizza is supposed to be when folded.
It came to the table smoking hot.
We could not wait to try it after waiting almost 1 hour. It was amazing. That first bite was heaven. The cheese seemed to be under the sauce but you still got that cheese pull. Even though we had 3 toppings, which was $28, it was not over powering the sauce and cheese.
They are fully licensed so one can have beer, wine or soft drinks.
They do not take reservations so patience is required. You will have to wait. But, it’s worth it. Wait. Be patient.

I haven’t been in 30 years, Johnny’s was a staple name in our household.
My uncle used to drive them crazy ordering half cooked pizzas to take back to Connecticut. (Former Pelham residents)
We were close by today and stopped in for lunch.
The staff is very friendly and the food was impeccable as always! We ordered some parm wedges to have there and took two pizzas to go.
I was so happy to see they are still in business and will gladly stop back!
Thank you for the delicious food and warm welcome with a safe travels wish as we left!
10/10 food, service and friendliness!
