MJ’s New York Style Pizza & Wings

New to Lakeland and until now the pizza has been lackluster at best. MJ’s, must be Italian for frickin’ awesome! Been all over this country and had ‘authentic New York pizza’ most of which would suck next to dominoes sad excuse for pizza. This however, is legit. Proper amount of grease (essential to making the ps4 operate properly) cheese and toppings. If you want real deal New York pizza, this is your only choice in town. Mangia mangia people, it’s il meglio!

Great true NY style pizza! Their wings are crispy and perfectly spicy when ordered hot. Delivery is always fast and food is always hot and delicious. The sauce crust and cheese is amazing and you can tell they make the sauce and crust daily by hand. My only complaint is that toppings are scarce for the price but NY style isn’t known for a lot of toppings so if you want a lot of toppings order from a chain but if you want great NY style pizza order MJs!

Hands down best pizza I’ve ever had in Florida. My fiancée is originally from Connecticut and is used to the New Haven/​New York style pizza, so this place did not disappoint. We’ve been to Lakeland before while visiting family and have gotten pizza at other establishments around the area. Everything pales in comparison to the pizza we got from MJ’s. Will definitely order again!

Went in for lunch on Monday. Great pizza, great wings. Staff very friendly.

The white pizza is amazing!!! The crust is super thin and tasty — the best I have had in Lakeland. Highly recommended

im not from fl but when visiting family we stop by mjs pizza… great choice! talk about go for family and stay for the pizza! love mjs pizza, their crust is so thin and crunchy, their sauce is really good and they are NOT cheap with the cheese and topping like many other well known pizza shops. MY MOUTH IS WATERING AS I WRITE THIS! their wings are finger licking good… literally! and they have much more to offer with a huge menu list, with more than just pizza and wings.
it’s family owned and you can tell they put everything they have into making us customers feel like part of the family. they definitely have the NY taste and atmosphere! this is coming from a true NY-​er :)
keep up the great work, I can’t wait to visit again:)

This place is great! New in Lakeland and looking for a new fave pizza joint so gave them a try and was thrilled. Awesome pizza and wings!

The pizza is great! Delivery is fast. The wings and jalapeño poppers are great as well! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!

very yummy new york style pizza! also had the greek salad — delicious!

Came here today by word of mouth because I love New York Style pizzas and I enjoy going to non-​franchise establishments. On this trip, I took my mother who is from New York and loves pizza as much as I do.
When you first walk in you can definitely tell it’s a family owned restaurant and they are starting out and it excites me to know that! So if you are expecting a franchise type feel you’ll be disappointed. I think the more business they get, they will be able to establish themselves better.
We ordered a large sausage pizza and garlic knots. I enjoyed the garlic knots, as they were crispy on the outside and very moist and flaky on the inside. I would definitely recommend asking for a side of oil though (my only recommendation to the business)
As for the pizza, I absolutely enjoyed it. Each part of the pizza (sauce, cheese, bread) complimented each other and made it very flavorful. My mother had recommended more sauce (her fave part) but after a while she said she liked it as it is.
I would definitely return and definitely would recommend to others as it was recommended to me.

This place is so unprofessional when it comes to over the phone professionalism. I currently placed an order via phone, once the lady voiced my total, she proceeded stating that my order will be 1 hour delivery time. I called back to ask for pick up time and they stated it would be 35 mins, once I changed the order process, a guy starts yelling in the back «come on they just placed an order it would be 25 minutes» (with this stern angry voice) that alone made me cancel the order. With no apologies or anything they hung up on me. So rude never had their pizza or food and don’t plan on it with the service I received today.

I want to start out saying that I’m always uncomfortable reviewing local places because they really rely on good word of mouth to stay open.
That being said, the pizza from here was — not bad. I’ve had worse, but I’ve also definitely had better — in Lakeland. The pizza was pretty greasy (now I like a greasy pizza, but), and there was something off about the crust.
I feel the best pizza in Lakeland is Il Forno (Yes, over Palace Pizza), so your opinion of this may vary. And Il Forno is closer to me than this place is, so I don’t think I will be going back. If this is the closest pizza shop to you you could do a lot worse than getting a pie here.
My biggest concern was the wait. I placed an order over the phone at 4:30, was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. I got there at 4:50. My pizza was not done. I waited another 10 minutes to get it. There was one family inside the restaurant sitting down. There’s no reason for the pizza to not be ready, sorry.

Garlic knots are amazing! The dough for the pizza is a work of art. It’s light and crispy but not too thin!

First time here I order the family large pizza and chicken wings order of garlic knots and a 2-​liter overall it was good happy with the service family agreed we will be returning.

Ver nice place. The wings and pizza are the best i have had in Lakeland. A definite 2 thumbs up. The prices are great.

Stopped in a couple times, the variety of pizza slices is becoming limited. At one point there was not even plain cheese slices.

Open only a week, I’m taking a risk and starting with 4 stars! This New York style pizza, wing & Mediterranean place promises to be a great new «eats» in south Lakeland. It’s located in the strip mall next to Gigi’s Korean Market.
Painted bright red and minus pictures on the wall it looks like a «start-​up». Three big positives going for it are the taste, the price and friendliness. They’re running a $ 1 cheese slice special, a great way to sample their recipe. I found the dough ever-​so New Yorkishly thin, soft, fresh and delicious – one of those places where you WANT to eat the crust. With a soda it was a nice $ 3 meal, tastier than the chain fast food stops. They had 4 or 5 pies on the counter to warm up a slice if you prefer «stuff» on it. It’s a great thing (by the slice) for people who don’t want an entire pie.
I ordered a side of 6 grape leaves to go ($ 4). They also have falafel, tabouleh salad, baba ganoush, hummus, gyros. Though the «Mediterranean» cuisine includes many countries, I love the fact theirs is Pakistani and puts a delicious slant to these yummy and healthy foods. (Zuppina’s Mediterranean is Turkish/​Romanian and Roti’s Mediterranean is Indian-​Pakistani so it is fantastic to see Lakeland enlarging its regional tastes.) The employees are happy to share & enthusiastic about their food.
Can’t wait to go back and try the wings (12 wings=$ 9) and other items on the menu (to include calzones, baked ziti, deep dish, wraps, salads and subs). Many dishes are under $ 6, making it a true «neighborhood place». It’s open 11 to 11 all 7 days, too! They deliver locally.
*My only complaint was the 2 cheese slice/​drink for $ 5 «special» was more expensive than buying 1 slice and a drink and going back for a slice ($ 4) but they’ll figure it out as they go.
