New Famous Jo's Pizza

[SoonerQueen]

Oklahoma City is finally getting a Famous Jo's Pizza. Soon to be opening at Hefner and Rockwell.Just thought I'd pass the word on.

[metro]

Interesting, you know that Edmond already has had one for a year or two now though right?

[Steve]

Last I heard, Edmond isn't Oklahoma City. Thanks for the update Soonerqueen.

[Easy180]

Is it going in where Pablano's used to be?

Yes but didn't know if the OP knew there was already one in the metro. In other news, you can now find the menu for Big Truck Tacos on their officiial fanboi site www.okccentral.com

[Steve]

Metro, you're charming as always.

[SoonerQueen]

I ate at the Edmond location last night. The new location is in Oklahoma City.They will have three locations.

[John]

Soon to be 4...

Looks like somebody may need a nap, or maybe a scooter ride.

Where's #4 going in?

[metro]

Metro, you're charming as always.

The sad thing is we're so alike.

[Steve]

Can anyone reveal the secret ingredients to the Pa's dressing at Famous Jo's?

[John]

Where's #4 going in?

An article within the past week or two (IIRC) said Norman was getting a store.

[SoonerQueen]

Pa's garlic dressing is to die for. I love that stuff.

In today's exciting news...It did go in the old Pablano's bldg

I noticed a sign the other day in Norman on W Lindsey, a bit east of the W Lindsey / SW24th intersection. I wish them well. That location has seen lots of failure over the alst couple of decades. It would be nice to see someone make a go of it there.

[Tritone]

I've seen the sign also. If they're connected with the Jo's Pizza in Purcell, count me in. I like their pizza. And, as kevinpate said, that location in Norman has not had the best go of things lately.

Jo's Famous Pizza in Purcell has been sold. Jo Ellen Powers is getting up in years and has retired. She is the sister to Dwight Powers of Powers Auto Group.

I am sure the new owners are using the famous recipes. I hope they continue to dish up the Famous Pizza.

Yes it is the same company as the one in Purcell, they also have a location in Edmond

[positano]

I won't repeat the story, because I don't know it well enough to get the facts straight, but if you talk to the Purcell folks they can tell you something about there being a dispute amongst the family (or owners) and that one or more of the "Jo's" people separated and opened "Rodney's" pizza in Purcell. The talk is that since the split, "Jo's" has deteriorated and that "Rodney's" is what "Jo's" used to be.

[Tritone]

I'll try Rodney's, famous or otherwise. Gotta have good pizza once in a while.

I visited the Edmond location. Worst pizza I've ever eaten that wasn't frozen from the grocery store. I actually asked the manager if that's how the pizza was normally prepared, and he said yes.

The dough was horrific. It was a soft, doughy mess.

The pizza was so loaded with cheese and toppings you couldn't taste anything.

It was actually disgusting.

I'm told the original location in Purcell before it was sold was very good, but I will never return. Life is too short to eat such bad pizza.

could it be possible that you caught them on a bad day or just got a bad pizza? Sounds like it to me considering the tons of good reviews they get, I've eaten there as well and it was delish and their salad is excellent too!
