Is Johnny's "Sweep the Swamp" as delicious as it sounds?

Friend,

I tried Johnny’s once and was disappointed partly because of the high praise it received from this board. Truth be told, had I no expectations I still would have been disappointed.

It was perhaps four years ago. We were traveling with Cousin who was considering a move to Shreveport. We passed a Johnny’s and I said, “Our friends, OTIS and balls, rave about Johnny’s. They say it’s better than Razza. Let’s stop here.”

Cousin loves pizza even more than I. In 2016 he did a pizza tour of Italy that I regret missing. He travels to NYC every year to try new pizzas. He didn’t need convincing to stop when food authorities rave about pizza.

We stopped and the three of us decided to try three pizzas: sweep the kitchen, sweep the swamp, and plain.

After eating a slice of each Cousin said, “Never again should you get advice on pizza from the Food Board. I came expecting something like Sally’s. What we got was a conveyer belt oven pizza like Gatti’s or CiCi’s. You can’t hide a bad pizza under a pile of toppings. Don’t ever let those two gorgonize you again.”

I hate to be negative, but Cousin was absolutely correct. I do not know if the praise Johnny’s gets here is an inside joke. If it is, you got us. Regardless, Domino’s is superior and significantly cheaper. Noting your Mobile stock, I would also note that Godfather’s is better, even though its quality has dropped since 1990, when the NOLA Metro still was home to Godfather’s. The standard plain was wholly unforgettable as well, with dough and sauce that did not even rise to the level of mediocrity. Worse yet, we spent at Johnny’s more than we did the last time the three of us ate at John’s of Bleecker.

Yours,

Johnnys is a good, “cheap quality” local pizza chain. There’s nothing wrong with it. You shouldn’t go there expecting an authentic New York top of the charts pizza place.

I’ve never had the sweep the swamp.

Oh, and TulaneLSU, Gattis is the GOAT “cheap pizza”.

Haven’t you been missing for like 2 years now?

I grew up eating Johnny’s it was always great until they started cutting it the wrong way. Seems like the quality went way down since Johnny died.

I loathe you

your friend is a pretentious frick. who the hell thinks going to a local chain pizza restaurant is gonna compare to other styles.

And i have been to Italy...... Neapolitan pizza is very good for what it is... but really it sucks compared to any of the best American styles of pizza.

Johnnys is the better than any of the chains, dominos, hut, etc. BUT it is more expensive so they are all comparable IMO.

when i was in the area a few years ago and tried their pies,
i thought it was like hungry howie quality, not impressed.

I did enjoy taco bandido. It is a step up from taco bell.

We have eaten at famous pizza places all over the country, my brother and I spent $200 at Lou Malnatis. Johnny's pizza is better than all of them. Every time we go to a famous expensive pizza place, we always say we cant wait to get home to go to Johnny's. I wouldnt get a sweep the swamp though. Medium pepperoni with extra cheese.

Interesting. Seeing a post after the big "SERVER UPGRADE"all but confirms my suspicion that Chicken has bots that post on this board to entice and agitate real people.

TulaneLSU is a fraud.
