I am biased when it comes to Johnny B's Pizza and Grinders in downtown Deerfield. John is a very close friend of mine. I remember sleeping on his family's porch on Front Street in Monroe on warm summer nights.
But my bias does not change the fact that Johnny "B" makes some great pizza. My wife and I ate the "Hawaiian Islands Specialty Pizza" on Friday night. And it was a treat. John's hand-tossed crust is soft inside, but with a distinct crispness on the outside. His sauce is a bit less tart than Tiffany's and the rest of his ingredients are fresh and good. The cheese is especially good.
The menu at Johnny B's includes pizzas made with hand-tossed, thin or cheese-layered crusts. He has a wide range of specialty pizzas, from the Hawaiian that we tasted to steak, taco and the multi-itemed "B's Supreme." Other pizza-related items like grinders and cheese sticks are also available.
Johnny' B's also offers several dinner items. You can buy manicotti, tortellini, mosticolli, ravioli and saccotino. And John's Greek, Roman and Buffalo Chicken salads also seem like a good bet.
John's prices are about what you'd expect in a pizza place. Small one-item pizzas range from $5 for a small to $12 for an extra large. Multi-itemed and specialty pizzas are extra.
Maybe Johnny B's biggest selling point is that he delivers pizza to many areas without any other pizza delivery service. He delivers as far north as Milwaukee Rd. near Britton, east to Wells Rd. in Dundee, south to Yankee Rd. near Ottawa Lake and west to Palmyra. The chart above shows John's delivery area.
If our previous visits to Johnny B's are any indication, Johnny B's does a brisk delivery business.
Johnny B's is open from 11AM until 10PM on Sunday through Thursday and 11AM until Midnight on Friday's and Saturdays.
The number is (517) 447-4000.
