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 didn’t 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 John’s again.

I can’t believe in a week things went from absolutely amazing to the worst food I have had the unfortunate experience of eating. read less

It was the BEST chicken parmi that I have ever had in my life. I am originally from the USA but now call Australia home.

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..

Yes, it's a little bit pricey but OMG, so worth the money!

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.

All of this makes a return visit on the next trip difficult. read less

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 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 didn’t have.

We then waited over an hour for 2 small pizzas. We had finished our wine before the meal even arrived but weren’t offered further drinks.

Both pizzas were very disappointing. The toppings weren’t 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 John’s just doesn’t measure up. read less

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.

That, however, doesn’t say a lot, especially considering the lack of alternatives. What perplexed me, though, was what - surprisingly - many of John’s 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! To have the complete Aussie experience, it is vital to shove the pizza into one’s gob and worry about the repercussions later. I think that’s the Aussie way. All said ‘n’ done, ‘twas well worth it. read less

That, however, doesn’t say a lot, especially considering the lack of alternatives. What perplexed me, though, was what - surprisingly - many of John’s customers were occupied doing. If they were not mindlessly gazing down at their phones whilst awaiting their meal, they were directing hungry snarls towards the kitchen area. But I will admit that by the time our pizza arrived I was in the same 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! To have the complete Aussie experience, it is vital to shove the pizza into one’s gob and worry about the repercussions later. I think that’s the Aussie way.

It was a weekday but absolutely packed around... read moreMy husband and I went to John's pizza bar in July 2018. It was a weekday but absolutely packed around 6.30-7pm. 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

The staff recommend these drinks to the kids as some from interstate have never heard of Grubbs - all the kids enjoyed them. Milkshakes & Slushies are also popular with the kids. Large range of local & imported beers for the big kids. BYO also available with a $ 10.00 corkage fee. Alfreso area is also pet friendly & water will be supplied. read less

I had a 10% off receipt that led me to John's in the first place from the campground I was staying at by falsely advertising as 5th best in the country. I forgot to pull it out as I was paying after feeling rushed to give my order and then was told there was nothing they could do about it. Fine.

Garlic bread was also good.

One bit of advice: if you don’t have to dine in, then take the food to where you stay as their drinks prices are a bit high.

They also do half and half if one pizza is enough, but you want to try two toppings. Otherwise get one of each, as these pizzas tasted great as warmed up leftover. read less

Firstly - pizza was so-so... flavours were good, but the base was so disappointing that I actually walked over to check that they weren’t frozen!

Secondly - service.... whilst the waitress who served us was very nice and pleasant, immediately after I paid I remembered that our hotel entitled us to a 10% discount. I asked (immediately after paying) if I could get this discount and was told that I couldn’t because the transaction had gone through. I also asked if I could have a free coffee instead (discount would have been $11.90), but was told that they wouldn’t do that. The explanation given was that “lots has changed since the new owners”.
