Specializing in handcrafted pizzas and an array of hearty sandwiches, this vibrant eatery brings a refreshing and creative twist to classic Italian-American comfort food.

Their pizza offerings are a celebration of bold flavors and thoughtful craftsmanship.

For those exploring lighter or plant-based options, the "Jockamo Special" is a revelation, praised for its fresh ingredients and satisfying complexity.

But the culinary excitement doesn’t stop at pizza. The sandwich menu shines with hearty selections such as the Italian Beef sandwich, a customer favorite described as slightly spicy and immensely flavorful, complemented by a unique balsamic dipping sauce that enhances every bite.

Complementing the menu are classic macrobrews like Bud Light and Yuengling Lager, making it easy to pair your meal with a refreshing beverage. Kids are not forgotten, with playful menu items like the PBJ Pie and Jelly Pita Pizza catering to younger palates.

Many guests have celebrated Jockamo not only for its top-notch food but also for the thoughtful touches—the crispy garlic shavings on the lasagna pizza, the creamy Parmesan sauce paired with breadsticks, and the patient, gracious service that shines even as closing time approaches.

Jockamo’s usually gets props for their pizza, which are well-deserved, but I wanted to focus on my favorite sandwich, the Italian Beef. Slightly spicy and delicious. Served with a balsamic dipping sauce that pairs well with the sandwich. Good lunch menu! Stop by for a slice or a sandwich, you won’t be disappointed! This is an independent, uncompensated review.

In town for a volleyball tournament, and this was right next to the Tru Hotel. They were able to accommodate our large group of 11. Joey gave some great suggestions on what to order. They have a large selection of specialty pizzas. I went with "The Inferno," which was a good choice. I prefer a little more crisp on my pizza, so I went with a 4. Everyone in our group enjoyed the meal, though. Would definitely eat here again if we are in the area again.

We are from out of town and we arrived and were welcomed immediately! I forgot to take a picture of the breadsticks but they were amazing and the creamy Parmesan sauce was very good as well as the pizza and cheese sauce! The lasagna pizza was phenomenal and the garlic shavings made it marvelous!! Our waitress was so patient and kind and they were even getting ready to close and she was so gracious!! Highly recommend! Never made us feel rushed or put out with us arriving 30 minutes before they closed!!

Back on my plant base journey best pizza I ever had The Jockamo Special. Love the environment as well will be back for sure.

Man, what a great surprise! We were passing through town and staying nearby, and the hotel staff member told us to try this place. The staff were awesome with me adding a couple things to the takeout order when I came to pick it up. I was not expecting to be blown away by the food, but it was SO delicious! I got the Mediterranean salad with chicken and it was amazing. My husband loved his Italian beef sandwich and my daughter's pizza was fabulous. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Food was really good. The service was excellent. The young man in there was hustling around helping out the waitress. They only had one working tables at this time. I would recommend.

First time trying. Hubby and I enjoying part of our 41st anniversary weekend. We hung out enjoyed the yummy pizza and atmosphere was nice. The waitress was warm and pleasant. A spot I would return!
