Johnny's Pizzeria

Johnny’s Pizzeria, located at 9562 SE Maricamp Rd in Ocala, FL, is a must-visit destination for anyone craving authentic New York-style pizza with a welcoming, no-frills atmosphere. This pizza restaurant captures the true essence of a classic pizzeria, where the tossing of dough and the aroma of fresh baking fill the air and invite you to indulge in flavors that hit all the right notes.

The star of the menu has to be the generous 3 Toppings Pizza, featuring ham, pepperoni, meatball, sausage, green peppers, black olives, onion, and mushrooms—crafted perfectly on a 14" medium crust that strikes a harmonious balance between crispiness and chewiness. For those who love an adventurous twist, you can personalize your pizza further with choices like anchovies, bacon, banana peppers, and fresh basil. Everything here tastes like it was prepared with passion and a knowledge of authentic pizzeria traditions.

But the excellence doesn’t stop at pizza. The Buffalo Fried Chicken Salad offers a fresh, crunchy contrast with crispy chicken, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, cucumber, and a sharp cheddar cheese sprinkle, while the Chicken Caesar Salad presents grilled chicken atop crisp romaine, accentuated with savory asiago and crunchy croutons. For something more indulgent, their sandwiches — like the Turkey & Cheese or Ham & Cheese — come with your choice of hot or cold style and melt-in-your-mouth mozzarella or Swiss cheese, making for a satisfying meal any time of day.

No meal at Johnny’s would be complete without a taste of their legendary Garlic Knots — soft, buttery bites with just the right hint of garlic that keep you reaching for more. And don’t miss the delicate, creamy sweetness of their Cannoli, a perfect finish to your dining experience.

Step inside Johnny’s and you’re immediately greeted by an atmosphere brimming with personality—a place where old-school Goodfellas posters and University of Miami memorabilia set the scene. You’ll hear the lively New York accents of the staff and catch a game on the TV, enhancing that genuine, laid-back vibe. It’s the kind of spot that feels like a slice of the Big Apple right in the heart of Ocala.

What truly sets Johnny’s apart is the consistency and quality that customers rave about. Tyler Merrell praises the fair pricing and authentic pizzeria experience, noting how the combination of great pizza and a casual, comforting environment makes it a standout. Daniela Downs describes it succinctly: “Never tried better pizza, Johnny’s is literally the best there is!!” Meanwhile, taking a bite and witnessing the perfect crust brings Msoto 1979 back time and again, delighted by the excellent service and flavors.
