Cj's Italian Bistro - Columbus

Always had a great experience with CJ. Great owners and servers. It is time that the waiting period is little longer, but that was because they only run a waitress and space was packed, so it is very understandable. My family loves CJ. Your spaghetti meatballs are dying.

We love CJs! We have always gotten delicious pizzas and salads! The rock and roll is our favorite! They hold a special place for us because we ate there after our engagement and they made a special heart pizza for us. Then they catered our rehearsal dinner which was perfect and fun!

I've always enjoyed dining here, and the food has been great. On Saturday, I decided to stop by and ordered a 10" veggie pizza. I swapped out olives, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts for jalapeños, bell peppers, and spinach, as I’m not a fan of those vegetables. However, when I received my bill, I noticed an extra charge. When I inquired about it, my server explained it was because of the vegetable substitutions. This puzzled me since the three vegetables I chose to replace were all standard ones, not premium or specialty items. I understand being charged for fresh basil, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, or meats, but I've never been charged extra at other pizzerias when swapping one vegetable for another. I wish I had known there would be an additional fee for making these substitutions.

I went to CJ's for pizza and garlic knots with a new friend last week, and wow, it was amazing! It's honestly the best pizza I've had in a long time. We then visited another restaurant, and although their pizza was decent, it just didn't have the same personal touch. CJ's is truly the perfect spot for great times and delicious pizza all in one place. Plus, the beer was nice and cold!

I'm currently out of town, and all I have back home is a large chain pizza place. I really wish we had a restaurant like this one. The food is top-notch, the service is friendly and quick, and all at a great price. Winning the best pizza award seven times in a row speaks volumes! You should definitely try their pizza and perfectly cooked buffalo wings as soon as possible!
