T J's Pizzeria

Closed as is the TJs restaurant and bar that is next door. Too bad. This was a popular spot.

This review is for THE TEN SPOT, formerly known as TJ's pizzeria.
For the past 4 years or so since we moved here TJ's  Pizza has been a favorite. Especially loved by the entire family is the Chambersburg pizza (it's made with plum tomatoes). The town is knee deep in pizzerias and although TJ's lacked atmosphere completely they were next to the bank, supermarket, drugstore and they sold beer (which, depending on your dinner companion, could tip the scales...) And really if you wanted a good quality traditional pizza with your regular pepperoni, sausage and onion it was a good choice. But that was before it became "The 10 Spot"...at first I thought it was just rebranding, an effort to distinguish themselves from all the other pizza places (and maybe add some of that missing atmosphere)... but ever since the name change the quality has taken a dive. The first time it was under-cooked pizza. It was very undercooked.... the crust was really still dough in places... I had friends over, had picked up the pies to go.. disappointing but mistakes happen. However, after several more trips, and at least 8-10 pizzas the mistakes keep coming. They get the order wrong or the pizza is just... off. Something more has changed than the name. I'm not sure if they changed the recipe, the cheese, the oven... but something major has changed over there and the yummy, crispy. flavorful pizza has been replaced by rather bland & doughy (expensive) circles.
If I had no history with them I would only rank them 2 stars but I am holding out hope that the old TJ's returns... and out of respect for the years of good pizza I gave them 3.

Pretty gross.  Pizzeria is dark, dirty.  Pizza was some of the worst I've had.
