Pizza · Hummelstown, PA
Jo Jo's Pizza & Restaurant has anchored the corner of East Main Street in Hummelstown since 1978 — a family-run shop that's outlasted trends by keeping it simple: fresh dough, a broad menu, and the kind of consistency that earns a town's loyalty across generations.
Our take Hummelstown is practically in Hershey's backyard, so if you're craving pizza after a day at the park, Jo Jo's is about as convenient as it gets.
Nearly five decades on the same corner is a statement all by itself. Jo Jo's has been feeding Hummelstown and the surrounding Hershey area since 1978, and the fact that it's still family-run under the same ownership tells you something. We appreciate places like this — no gimmicks, just good food made fresh with dine-in, takeout, and delivery options so it works whatever the occasion. Whether you're grabbing a slice after a day at Hersheypark or settling in for a sit-down Italian dinner, Jo Jo's has the range to cover it.
Jo Jo's is owned by Natale Amato, whose motto — "Doin' It Right Since 1978" — sums up the approach without much embellishment. The menu is genuinely broad: pizza by the slice, full pies, strombolis, calzones, subs, paninis, pasta, seafood, and a kids' menu. Gluten-free pizza is available for those who need it (note: not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen — check with staff if you have celiac concerns). The downtown Hummelstown location makes it an easy stop whether you're a local or visiting the area.
Jo Jo's runs deeper than the average corner pizza shop, which is part of why we mention it to out-of-towners. They make pizza in two distinct styles — New York and Sicilian — alongside about ten gourmet specialty pies, and there's an extensive ready-made slice counter if you just want to grab and go. It's also a full restaurant with a bar, so you can have a beer, wine, or a cocktail with dinner, or pick up a six- or twelve-pack to take with you. The dining room has a nostalgic feel, with brightly painted booths and vintage photos from the restaurant's own past lining the walls. For groups, there's a private banquet room that seats around 50, and decades of catering experience behind it. Sitting roughly three miles from Hersheypark, it can even accommodate tour buses.
These hours come from the restaurant's published schedule rather than a live check, so treat them as a guide. Hours can shift around busy Hershey-area weekends and holidays, so confirm on their site or call ahead before a special trip.

Yes. Jo Jo's has a private banquet room that seats up to about 50 people, used for parties of all sizes, sports-team gatherings, and business meetings.

Yes to both. Jo Jo's is a full-service restaurant that serves wine, beer, and cocktails in-house, and they also sell beer six-packs and twelve-packs to go and for delivery — which is unusual for a neighborhood pizzeria. It's a handy option if you want a drink with the meal or something to bring back after a day at the park.
Jo Jo's sits right on Main Street in Hummelstown, so it pairs easily with the rest of the town for a half-day outing — a tour, a meal, and a stop for the grown-ups, all within a few minutes of each other.
A classic Hummelstown cavern tour just a few minutes away — pair it with a Main Street pizza lunch or dinner at Jo Jo's.
Another Hummelstown family spot in our guide — handy if part of the group would rather have a diner breakfast or a milkshake than pizza.
A Hummelstown brewery within easy reach for the adults — though Jo Jo's already pours beer, wine, and cocktails, so it's an optional second stop, not a necessity.
