JoJo's Wins Best Italian Food 2025

The Award

JoJo's Pasta & Pizza was named the 2025 People's Choice Gold Award winner for Best Italian Food by The Citizen-Standard newspaper. This award is voted on by the community — the people of Elizabethville and Dauphin County who eat here, order here, and have been coming back for decades.

This isn't a paid placement or a self-nominated prize. It's neighbors choosing their favorite.

What It Means to Us

JoJo's has been a family-owned business in Elizabethville since 1981 — 45 years of making pizza, pasta, and Italian food the same way we always have: made to order, in our brick Marsal ovens, seven days a week. No shortcuts.

Winning Best Italian Food from the community we've served for 45 years means more than any food critic's opinion. These are our regulars, our neighbors, our kids' classmates. They know our food. They chose us.

To everyone who voted: thank you. We'll keep earning it.

What Makes JoJo's the Best Italian Food in the Area

Here's what our community keeps coming back for:

• Brick oven pizza: Made to order in our Marsal brick ovens — the kind of crust you can't fake. Including our signature Crunch Pie (extra thin, cooked well done) and optional Sweet Sauce.
• The Pretzel Boli: JoJo's original creation — soft pretzel dough stuffed with mozzarella and ham, served with marinara or cheddar dipping sauce. Nobody else makes it like this. Learn about the Pretzel Boli →
• Full Italian menu: Pasta dinners, stromboli, calzones, alfredo dishes, subs on house-made bread, wings, salads, and party trays for catering.
• Family-owned, community-focused: Every order supports a local family business that's been part of Elizabethville for 45 years.
