You gotta try the "Braid" Best stromboli I've had since I was a kid. Been looking for it for ages. Will definitely be back!

Deano's pizza is located right in the heart of st.johns. All the locals love to make their way on downtown to this wonderful restaurant. The staff is very friendly, and hard working. Never been disappointed with them. I love, How you can just look right behind the counter and see them hand tossing the dough.The place is well cleaned. I have been coming here with my wife for over 3 years now. Whenever I have a friend who isn't from my city who wants to get together for a visit , I just can't help myself from just picking up a pizza and enjoying every minute with a friend or love one. Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.

Loved the food and the atmosphere! Staff is amazing! Will definitely come back next summer! The chicken tenders and the penne pasta is what I have had so far but I'm sure that other foods are amazing!

I ate lunch at their bar recently (next door to their pizzeria) and I enjoyed the retro experience. The waitress was very kind and treated me and my friend like family. Inside was very clean, walked right into a time capsule. The food was good too, ordered the turkey bacon wrap with onion rings. Will stop by again in the future. *Felt bad for the low tip. The waitress deserved a better but didn't have anymore cash on me at the time. So hopefully this honest review helps until I return.*

Seriously one of the best dinners I've had in a long time. Not your typical run-of-the-mill chains. As a family of 6 we ordered the bread pillows (AMAZING), pretzel balls, a pizza, and my little kids had cod. All perfectly amazing. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu.

Here we are once again, folks! Today, Cutie and I both had the day off from work and decided to give Ole Deano's a try. First of all, I ordered through their website online using the Toast app. It was incredibly easy and user-friendly, definitely recommended! It took only 20 minutes to bake and no more than 5 seconds to pick up. We ordered the 14-inch supreme with bread nugget pillows and ranch for dipping. Well, let's start with the bread, shall we? Perfectly soft and light, decorated with delicious Parmesan cheese. Dunked in that ranch, y'all, that was tasty! Now for the pizza. Oh my, the beautiful light bake, adorned with a cornucopia of fresh and delightful toppings! What a looker this pizza is! Go ahead, give it a stare, baby! A nice subtle sauce, not too much, just perfect. They absolutely hook you up with the toppings; they're not stingy here, people! Overall, wow, what a pie! I loved my experience with Deano's and we will for sure be back to try more delectable pizza. Five bright shining stars out of five!
