JoJo’s NY Style Pizza CEO shares how the pizza shop serves some of America’s best pizza

Miami is known to be the hottest pizza scene in South Florida and a major pizza city in the U.S. One rising pizza company in Hollywood, Florida, is proving that some of the best pizza resides outside Miami. JoJo’s NY Style Pizza is growing and should be on your pizza radar.

We asked founder and CEO Jhonathan Naranjo Estrada about the concept, JoJo’s pizza style and pizzas on the menu that customers go crazy for.

What defines your restaurant and makes you stand out?

Jhonathan Naranjo Estrada, Founder/CEO at JoJo’s NY Style Pizza in Hollywood, Florida

We opened our first shop on March 13, 2016, in Hollywood Florida. Six years later, in 2022, we sold $1.5 million out of the very same location, which consists of only 650 square feet in size. The concept of the shop is takeout and delivery only, with no alcohol sales due to the fact that the spaces next door to us are occupied by other businesses – one of them being corporate Domino’s, with that cutting off our chances of expanding the restaurant to a dine-in section.

Nevertheless, on May 1, 2022, we finally expanded to our second location in Lake Worth, Florida. It’s been about 11 months since the grand opening, and we already have sales of over $400,000. This time, the new shop has twice the amount of space with outside seating to offer the dine-in experience to our customers.

Tell us about your pizza style(s).

The high quality, consistency and freshness of our products – along with our outstanding customer service and super-fast delivery service – would be the main things that define us as the best pizza shop in town. What really makes us stand out from the rest would be our ginormous pizza slices that are carved from a 30-inch cheese pie with the option to fully customize those slices however you want by choosing from an array of over 32 different toppings available like fresh vegetables, meats, seafood to never-seen toppings at pizza shops like fried sweet plantains.

Another important thing to point out would be that we are the only pizzeria in the area that offers seven different pizza sizes ranging from 10-inch, 12-inch, 14-inch,16-inch,18-inch, 20-inch and 30-inch pies. By doing so, we are able to accommodate patrons with different budgets.

When it comes to pizza style, we solely focus on New York style – and by that we mean thin, crunchy crust with perfectly and evenly applied sauce and flavorful mozzarella cheese.

What pizza menu item do your fans go crazy over, and how would you describe it?

The most popular pizza item we have on our menu would have to be the “Pepperoni Lovers,” which consists of our New York-style crust overloaded with pepperoni and drizzled with Mike’s Hot Honey, topped with fresh basil. Our next best seller would be the “Tropical Hawaiian,” made with crumbled bacon, ham and pineapple topped with a blend of grated Parmesan and Romano cheese. Last but not least would be the “Happy Pizza,” made with fried sweet plantain, bacon bits also topped with Parmesan/Romano cheese. Our customers also love our made-to-order “Calzone & Strombolis” that are also fully customizable to customers’ preference of toppings.
