About John The Baker

In Pembroke Pines, family-run Italian places are busiest on weekend evenings and around holidays, when reservations or call-ahead seating are worth it. BYOB is common at smaller restaurants in some states, with a modest corkage fee or none at all; the listing or a quick call will tell you. Wing-and-pizza shops across Florida do most of their business by delivery and price wings by the piece or in fixed counts, with sauce heat adjustable on request. Catering trays, party pizzas and sheet pies need a day's notice at most places, and more around big game days.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. The most common schedule is 11 AM–10 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (954) 252-0091. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.

Very nice place to eat some delicious Italian food. Those garlic rolls are to die for! 🫣 I ordered the (65 years old recipe) lasagna and it was nice, a bit salty but I enjoyed it. My husband had John the baker pizza and it is delicious! We enjoyed very much our food!

John the Baker near Pembroke Pines, FL is a fantastic spot for classic, well-done Italian food. The pizza was thin, crispy, and absolutely delicious, exactly how a great slice should be. The garlic rolls were massive and loaded with garlic, full of flavor and impossible to resist. The service was fast and friendly, making the experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The ambience is clean, spacious, and quiet, with sports playing on the televisions, which makes it a comfortable place to relax and enjoy a meal. John the Baker is a great choice whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy great food in a laid-back setting

⭐️ Overall: 7.5/10 — Solid Italian spot with great pizza, friendly service, and just a few small tweaks needed! I tried a variety of dishes here and overall had a great experience: 🍝 Pasta Fagioli (6/10) – Good flavor but not soupy enough for my taste. Still enjoyable. 🍞 Garlic Bread (8/10) – Super soft and fresh, but could use more garlic and Parmesan to really pop. 🧀 Baked Ball of Cheese (3/10) – Unfortunately, this one missed the mark. The breading was bland, and the cheese itself was way too salty. 🥪 Meatball Sliders (7/10) – Tasty meatballs with nice flavor, but the bread was the same as the garlic bread (without the garlic). Very soft but too thick, and since you have to build them yourself, they didn’t really feel like sliders. 🍕 Meat Lovers Pizza (9/10) – The star of the meal! Crispy, cheesy, meaty, and evenly topped — every bite had flavor. 🍋 Limoncello Cake (7.5/10) – Light, sweet, and a nice way to end the meal. 💬 Service: The servers were awesome — super friendly, attentive, and helpful with menu explanations. Big shoutout to Manny, who made the experience even better with his great attitude and knowledge of the dishes! Definitely worth checking out — especiall
