Best pizza crust. Their pizza reminds me of the pizzas back in the 70's and 80's when there were pizza restaurants all over town. They're slowly fading away. And I have to say, making pizza's like this has become a lost art that the younger generations don't know how to appreciate. This place is basically the same but better. Neighbours restaurant version 2.0. Johnny's is a place I will have to come visit more often even though it's another town away from where I live. Good hearty lunch and my Boomer mum liked her old fashioned baked pasta. My brother commented how great the pizza crust was. Kinda wish I was single and lived in the area again. Oh, and loved the Caesar salad.

Visited Johnny’s on Oak and had an excellent experience. The Chicken Souvlaki and Shrimp Pizza were fresh, flavorful and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, more than enough for two people. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious Greek and Mediterranean style food in Vancouver. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They have introduced fresh menu items, revamped appearance, extended hours until 11pm is refreshing even bring a sample in the community for the past 35 years. I forgot to photo their amazing cheese toast made with secret blend of cheese and spices, it was truly delicious a great pairing with their homemade sauce that is rich and yummy for pasta. During my last visit enjoyed their fantastic baked spaghetti with balanced seasoning and perfectly cooked noodles, reasonable portions. Good selections for Happy Hour 3-6 pm and 9-11 pm enjoy a drink and snacks too.

Nice family restaurant. Service was friendly and helpful. Food was good. I had the Souvlaki. Restaurant was very warm, needed a bit more AC. And the atmosphere is a bit warnout.

Superb food - I ate four slices of the Hawaiian pizza AND an entire souvlaki. I couldn’t stop. I’m so impressed by the quality of the food and the team’s hospitality and heart. 100% returning .
