Even if you’re not in the mood for pizza, play it smart and don’t turn the page. Johnny’s is worlds removed from any standard pizza joint. Brand new and newsworthy, Johnny’s is an eatery that marries classic and cutting-edge to create a restaurant – and an atmosphere – that pleases all ages and every palate and keeps everyone coming back for more.

Understandably, the combination of a all-day menu (including classic pizza and fresh seafood), a surf and sports bar, live entertainment and dancing seems a tad beyond ordinary. In truth, Johnny’s is extraordinary – beginning with breakfast. Doors open at 8am to showcase a delicious breakfast pizza. Brushed with butter and smothered with eggs, several delectable cheeses and a bevy of optional toppings, it takes pizza to an unexpected level of delicious. The best fast-order cooks in town deliver other selections that include customary choices like bacon, sausage, pancakes, French toast and more. Don’t miss the chance for a FREE mimosa or Bellini. Ask for details.

Open until 4am, the remainder of the day is stellar by every measure. Food – featuring lots of unexpected choices – is, of course, priority one. In addition to standard gourmet pizzas and those characterized by global influences – think Thai chicken, Coney Island and Maryland Blue Crab – Johnny’s offers steamed seafood, Philly-style cheese steak sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs and plenty more. Almost around the clock, every tasty alternative is available for takeout and delivery.

The best option is to sidle in for a visit. Family in tow or flying solo, Johnny’s is a place guaranteed to satisfy. The bar, crafted from South American Tigerwood, is worth a visit on its own merit. Technology reigns supreme. Wide-screen TVs broadcast the best and brightest – from NASCAR, NFL and World Cup Soccer to surf competitions and everything in between. Microbrews rotate constantly. There’s live entertainment several nights each week, and every masterful moment is made better thanks to a state-of-the-art sound system. There’s a dance floor, of course, if the mood is right. Or you can opt to simply sit back and enjoy the tunes.

Reverse Happy Hour from 11pm-1am is super cool. Great food and beverages are available until 4am. Umbrella drinks are popular for good reason. Just a block from the beach, Johnny’s is a go-to-opportunity for a solo relaxed night on the town or a low-key family evening.

And, if a special event looms on the radar – birthday, anniversary or prize-worthy promotion – call Johnny’s.

Simply put, Johnny’s is the place to be in OC. Call 410-524-7499 or surf to www.Johnnys56.com for menus and more. Delivery is oh-so-convenient. Dial now. www.Johnnyspizzapub.com

Not Just Pizza, Not Just a Pub

Whether you’re looking for a slice of pizza on the go, calling for delivery at the hotel after a long day in the sun, or looking for a great place to go for dinner and drinks after hours, Johnny’s Pizza Pub is the place to go.
Johnny’s Pizza Pub is not just pizza. It’s good ol’ American pub food that features crab cakes, the ultimate cheeseburger, super Italian cold cuts and killer subs, signature salads, and 28 chef-inspired, award-winning, mouth-watering buffalo wing sauces. Plus, Johnny’s Eastern Shore Raw Bar serves steamed shrimp and clams.

Since Johnny has been making pizza for thirty years, he knows how to make a great pizza. Johnny’s singular style gives each pizza an original flavor all its own. The new pizza this season is the Neptune Seafood Feast Pizza. Literally a seafood feast for a king, it’s loaded with crab imperial sauce, shrimp, jumbo Maryland blue crab, and extra cheese -- a meal that will satisfy any appetite for seafood. Other international pizzas include: Aloha Pizza, Jamaican Jerk Pizza, Thai Chicken Pizza, and Mediterranean Chicken Pizza.

Johnny’s offers super fast delivery. With their midtown location in the heart of Ocean City on 56th Street bayside, a driver is always ready for a speedy delivery to your door. After a long day on the beach you may have no desire to go out or make dinner, but the kids (and you) still have to eat. Johnny’s Pizza is a great solution to the dinner hassle, with their ‘no hassle’ delivery to any hotel room or condo in town.

Looking for a place to meet up with friends for a few drinks and catch a live band on the weekend? Johnny’s books some of the best emerging acts on the East Coast, and there’s never a cover charge. Johnny’s bar has a state-of-the-art sound system, and wall-mounted flat screen televisions with the latest technology are everywhere! Johnny’s brags about serving the coldest beer and the biggest pitchers in town. The bar has a cool tropical feel, and with an imported tiger wood bar and master tile the pub is one of the most upscale on the beach.

Insomniacs, night owls and partygoers unite for the “after” party. While bars in Ocean City close at 2 a.m., Johnny’s grill doesn’t close down until 4 a.m. It’s perfect for a sober-up, or to satisfy any late night munchies with their Philly Cheese Steaks and Jumbo Cheese Pizza slices, or to finish out the night playing Keno at the bar.

In the morning, after a late night out, why wait in the long lines at all the well-known breakfast spots? Come early -- or mid-morning -- for breakfast at Johnny’s. It truly is one of the best kept breakfast secrets in town. They feature Bloody Mary’s, mimosas, breakfast pizzas, breakfast sandwiches and the rise-and-shine classics. Dine in from 9-11:30 a.m.

Whatever you need to satisfy a big appetite, fast, Johnny’s Pizza Pub is sure to satisfy. Call for delivery at (410) 524-7499 and don’t forget to ask for delivery specials.
