They are tucked into a strip mall, share an exterior entrance with another business & is strictly take out.\n\nOften, if you go in to pick up an order, you will see Jon himself working away! He looks an awful lot like his caricature on the menu. So cute!\n\nPlan on it taking a few tries to get through on the phone. Especially on the weekend. Also, plan to order at least 45 minutes ahead of time. Trust me - it's worth the effort.\n\nJon's spares nothing! The toppings are loaded on. Piles & piles of whatever you order. If you order a square pizza, plan to get an upper body workout from just carrying your pizza out of there. Feels like the thing weighs close to 8 lbs (I've never weighed it, but it's plenty heavy.) I usually am good with one piece - two if I'm super hungry (& I can usually polish off half a pizza if hungry enough - just not Jon's version.)\n\nThey double bake their pizza - this gives you a nicely browned cheesy top, sealing in all the flavors & goodness. Nothing quite like it.\n\nA particular favorite is back bacon, green pepper, pineapple & feta.\n\nWhen I moved from the deep SE back up to Brentwood for a short time, I was known to make the cross-city trek just to pick up dinner from here. I can't even blame pregnancy cravings for it. It's just that good!\n\nGo. Now."^^ . "1"^^ . "2"^^ .
