Yes Virginia, authentic Chicago pizza in Florida does exist! Snowbird 15 years in Fla. both coasts, many restaurant/pubs claim real Chicago pizza, now we all chuckle. Joeys uses authentic fresh ingredients. At 1st taste, holy cow ya know tastes like Chicagos best! he best you would Tried 4 time consistent! So far thin n thick, real Chicago hot all fixings like home. Great beefs and sausage. Worth the drive, it's clean, servers top notch and Chicago friendly. Rare I write reviews, had to share this fab find!

The World Famous Chicago Stuffed deep dish pizza was DELICIOUS. Just opening the box, the smell was heavenly, and it tasted even better! It's the only truly authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza I've found in the Sarasota area. Also got the regular size Greek Salad and it was fresh and good-sized. You won't go hungry!

We thought the pepperoni pizza was okay, but the sausage and mushroom pizza just tasted flat - the sausage needed more fennel or something and the pizza just needed some seasoning. Being from Chicago and knowing Chicago pizzas this time it fell short. We've had Joey D's before and it was really good.

Joey D's has been my fav in Sarasota sine movibgfrom Chicago! Their sauce has a touch of sweet in it that I love! I also love that it's not floppy even with getting a LARGE THIN CRUST! Joey D's will always be my go to fav favorite in Sarasota for that Chicago taste!

my chili cheese dog was wrapped up having all the chili and cheese come out of the bun, the Mac and cheese bites are overpriced, and the Chicago dog bun was soaked preferably I think it should have been toasted, but it was really good surprisingly. Everything was tasty and hot but It wasn't perfect.
