Prices were reasonable given the remote location and great sized portions.

The garlic bread was crunchy on the outside yet beautiful and soft on the inside. It was an easy 9/10 from us!
Tonight we dined again, 1 week later. We were rather excited to be going there again, I had told everyone how good it was. We had the pasta again and a garlic bread. Unfortunately the garlic bread was half burned and it didnât have that same wow factor about it. The pasta was so disgusting that we could not even eat it! I am terribly disappointed. 2 drinks, pasta and a garlic bread $40. We definitely will not be wasting our money at Johnâs again.

Chicken parmi is one of my favorite dishes on the planet. Soooo, when I took my first bite I was in love...it was so fresh, it wasn't like the store bought crumbed chicken. The mozzarella cheese tasted divine, I mean that is EXACTLY how mozzarella should taste...authentic. Also my chicken parmi filled half of a hige plate...i.e. pic..

We arrived late enough such that table service had closed. Takeaway was available and we ordered a couple of pizzas to go. We did not bother to look at the pizzas until we got home. If we had we would not have left because they were seriously over cooked and should not have been served.
There were some other aspects of service to do with a coffee which suggested to us that the care factor was limited.

I had a Steal sandwich one night and a pizza the next. Both were excellent. Pizza absolutely loaded with topping. It is licensed and has a great selection of beers and wines. The indoor dining room can be noisy as no acoustic treatment so if a big crowd is in the dining room and you need to talk maybe sit outside. Nice facilities and very clean. read less

I almost always stop in Coober Pedy on my trips back and forth between the NT and SA and when I do stop, I can't go past John's Pizza.

While the customer service and atmosphere was nice, the pizza was absolutly disgusting. Between us we tried about 5 and none were passable as anything but incredibly soggy pizza with way too many toppings and way too much cheese. Their 'salmon' pizza used tinned salmon and had (way too many) toppings.
It is edible but there seems to be way too much hype about this place. Avoid if you have other options. read less

We waited about 20 mins for our pizza - a lamb and feta option - however on receiving the pizza it was swimming in grease. We also got home to find our tzatziki dip was missing.
On the plus side the large pizza was adequate for 3 hungry girls
Supposedly the 5th best pizza in Australia...I can name 5 better in Adelaide alone read less

Maybe because there's only a few places to get pizza within 500kms, in which case, yeah, this place is pretty awesome. The pizza is certainly good, but if you go there believing the hype that this place is a top ten pizza place in Australia (as it was apparently once voted in 1975 or something) you'll probably be disappointed. Just go thinking you'll get a decent pizza and friendly service and you'll be happy. Oh, and know that on busy nights in busy season there can be quite a wait. read less

We... read moreVery disappointed. All we heard about for our first 2 days in town was âJohnâs pizzasâ. We shouldât have listened......
We arrived on a Saturday night and the place was only one third full. We intended to dine in but we were totally ignored for the first 10 minutes and left standing in the doorway. In the end other customers advised us to order at the counter and take any table we wanted.
Upon ordering we were advised that none of the white wines we wanted were available. In the end the server opened a bottle of Chardonnay and told us that that was the only white available so we would have to have that (we had requested any kind of sauv blanc/sem sauv blanc). We refused the wine and decided to drink water. She disappeared and came back with a bottle of the sauv blanc we had originally ordered that apparently they didnât have.
We then waited over an hour for 2 small pizzas. We had finished our wine before the meal even arrived but werenât offered further drinks.
Both pizzas were very disappointing. The toppings werenât bad but the base was horrid. Very like overcooked cardboard with no taste.
For the entire time we waited for our pizzas and while eating them, we observed that the staff behind the counter were extremely unprofessional. There was a lot of loud giggling, hugging, kissing and carrying on that could be heard and seen throughout the restaurant. One of the pizza chefs was parading around with an Italian flag draped around his neck which was falling into the pizza ingredients as he cooked.
Not sure how this place gets such great reviews but we certainly fell for it. Big mistake. After having 3 different meals at the Outback Bar & Grill and experiencing delicious food and fantastic service Johnâs just doesnât measure up. read less

We ordered a large one and our hosts were good enough to keep it warm, then packed it into a pizza box for our dinner. It was NRL finals night so that worked very well.

The restaurant was busy so we patiently waited another 10 minutes. We were handed our order and they forgot the pasta, I asked where it was an was rudely advised âI didnât charge you for itâ.
A young man behind the counter checked my ticket order and said it will be about 2-3 minutes. 15 minutes later we got our food.
We got back to our lodgings and the garlic bread was burnt (see photo), my daughter said the pizza was the worst she had tasted.

That, however, doesnât say a lot, especially considering the lack of alternatives. What perplexed me, though, was what - surprisingly - many of Johnâs customers were occupied doing. If they were not mindlessly gazing down at their phones whilst awaiting their meal (and eventually whilst eating it), they were directing hungry snarls towards the kitchen area. But I will admit that by the time our pizza arrived I was in a similar state of mind. Definitely not as speedy as I imagined the Coober Spedians to be. OH yet, what surprised me the most, what I found most unusual was seeing fellow customers eating pizza with a KNIFE AND FORK!

We sat outside, (in the cold) despite the one, or maybe two, vertical heaters outside. Still....weather is not their fault.
Ordering was ok, but I could see it was chaos. Lots of people, not eating, with numbers on their tables waiting for their order.
I ordered a Margherita Pizza, and my husband ordered Moussaka.
Finally, after about 50 minutes (in a pizza restaurant??) we finally ate.
My husband's moussaka was slopped onto his plate, and seriously, we both did a double take.
I'm not the best food presenter in the world, but I was pretty shocked. I've seen moussaka, nice squares of meaty dish. This was not that. More like a SLOSHY shepherds pie. To be fair he said it was fairly tasty, but it did not look nice. At all.
The low point was my margherita pizza. I think there was a few bits of tomato, perhaps canned tomato, or maybe fresh...not sure, but the lovely taste of reduced tomato pizza sauce was non existant. No basil. WHAT????? NONE. No onion taste, no garlic taste, no basil tase....no tomato taste AT ALL. Instead....a thick and leathery coating of ordinary cheese,...ergh. Just cheese and a cardboard crust.
Yuck. perhaps they are trying to makeup for the lack of 'real' topping with cheese? Seriously. Tomato paste, garlic, basil, mozzarella, ...that's what a margherita is. What I was served was a melted cheese sandwich.
I would not recommend anyone go to Johns. It was a waste of time and money and calories. read less

Fresh salads and great chips.
What more do you want at the end of a day sightseeing - plus a glass or two of South Australian wine! Itâs very busy between about 6 and 7.30 and the staff are flat out, but everyone gets their dinner in good time. read less

As good as any gourmet pizza we have had in Melbourne.
Given the remoteness of Coober pedy, hard to believe how good they are. Highly recommended. read less

There is no ambience and yet somehow that fits the surrounding area. It's value is average. The garlic bread was quite nice.
Alcohol is served . In an area with not much on offer - this is a good choice. read less

Ended up eating here twice as the food & service was really great. The guys behind the counter were very obliging to my mothers questions of local area & best sites to see. Menu is very extensive & certainly has something for everyone, pizza, pasta, seafood, grills, chips, salad, beer, wine, cider & hot beverages. Venue is very large with seating indoors & outdoors. Indoors has some art on display with framed restaurant awards & photos of well known people. read less

We had meat lovers pizza, pasta dish and salad. All a good size. Staff probably overworked, efficient but not friendly. A good choice in Coober Pedy. read less

Steak was good, though the pepper sauce was a bit stodgy. Everything was reasonably priced and we all enjoyed the evening. read less
