Authentic Napoli pizza - simply divine, the pizza base was a culinary experience id highly recommend- combined with an elegant and tasty selection of Italian, NZ, and Aus wines. I also need to commend the beef cheeks which were melt in the mouth and cooked in a richly flavored, chef Jon created sauce. Hot tip: If you like authentic Italian food and authentic Napoli pizza - or if you have not tried either, then do yourself a favour and go visit Chef Jon in Kenmore

My husband and I visited Jon’s Pizzeria to celebrate his birthday, and unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences we’ve ever had. We were the first customers to arrive and were seated at what appeared to be the smallest table in the restaurant. After ordering three dishes, we noticed two other couples arriving and being seated at tables twice our size. Knowing our food wouldn’t comfortably fit, we politely asked if we could move to a similar table, but the young waitress simply told us the restaurant was fully booked. Things went downhill from there. Our appetiser arrived, but it was the wrong dish. When our two pizzas arrived, there was so little table space that they had to be placed on elevated stands, which completely blocked my view of my husband sitting opposite me. Not exactly the birthday dinner experience I had envisioned! The seating was so cramped that I had to tuck my chair in as far as possible, yet staff still kept bumping into the back of it as they walked past. I have genuinely never felt so uncomfortable eating at a restaurant. To make matters worse, our correct appetiser finally arrived when we were almost finished with our pizzas and already full. By that point, we honestly wished it hadn’t come out at all. As for the food: • $47 Wagyu pizza: Extremely disappointing value. I expected Wagyu steak pieces or thicker cuts of Wagyu on the pizza, not approximately six paper-thin slices of meat that tasted no different from ordinary salami. The pizza itself was overly salty. • Funghi pizza: This was tasty, although the mushroom varieties were quite unusual and unfamiliar to us. • Pizza bases: Far too much crust, which was noticeably dry compared with other wood-fired pizzerias we’ve visited. • $6.50 for still water: A bit excessive for a suburban restaurant that isn’t offering a fine-dining experience. Sadly, Jon’s Pizzeria fell well short of our expectations, and we left feeling very disappointed.

The Pizza we had last night was absolutely delicious. There was no compromise on ingredients – the olives were whole, not cut in half and was the best pizza I have had anywhere. The staff are always busy but friendly and make you feel your presence is important. Highly priced but worth the money. A+++++

I had a gluten free Funghi pizza. It was delicious! I also had a cocktail, which was yummy. The gluten free base was well cooked, not floppy. The topping was generous and cheesy. I had a wonderful night and everything was perfect.

Amazing service by the waitress. The mozzarella in the caprese salad was very firm and overall unenjoyable. The pizza was drowning in cheese and undercooked. The arancini balls were enjoyable.
