### 2/5 — Points never get entered at my purchase

*2026-03-10, version 1.5*

Disappointed

### 1/5 — Can’t do anything in app!

*2024-10-04, version 1.3*

Completely non functional app

### 2/5 — No Coordination at Locations?

*2024-09-09, version 1.3*

This app is crazy to me. There are two restaurants near me and both have given me attitude about how they cannot use coupons from this app because they don’t have scanners. Then, when you try to order through the app, it won’t give you the discount there, and it tells you you need to order it in person and show them the app. They get really fussy with you, and I’ve literally had someone argue with me before. Can this be fixed so that it works at all locations? Maybe more of a customer service issue…but the app would help eliminate some issues if it worked.

### 1/5 — 3 Sign In’s Zero Pizza

*2024-04-28, version 1.2*

I signed up for the app and used Apple to sign in, then went to order and it asked for me to log in- which I did again then asked for location which I already had my local Happy Joes then I had to log in again. I gave up, my suggestion is to call - it will be less challenging and frustrating.

### 1/5 — Good luck trying to redeem rewards

*2024-04-15, version 1.2*

The app clearly says “redeem 100 points for $10 off your next purchase.”   However, every time I want to redeem rewards, the restaurant declines letting me do so because it’s already part of a “deal,” i.e. family night, which was nearly $25 when I last went months ago.  I’m sure it’s even higher now.  Another location didn’t want to accept rewards for the buffet lunch a couple of weeks ago.  Unreal, there is no “deal” for that!  This is one of the most expensive pizza places in the area and they’re not nearly as busy as they once were.  They should be more accommodating for their own app or they’ll keep losing more and more customers, myself included.

### 1/5 — Worst and most annoying app i’ve ever used

*2023-07-19, version 1.2*

The amount of times it kicked me out and made me fill out information i already had to give to make an account in the first place was insane just ended up deleting app and calling in

### 5/5 — Customer Service

*2023-04-20, version 1.2*

Everyone that I’ve ordered pizza from has always been kind and helpful. Much appreciated!

### 5/5 — Green Bay Happy Joes Pizza

*2022-05-28, version 1.0*

Truly the best owners and staff!

### 5/5 — Eldridge

*2022-03-24, version 1.0*

We live in Bettendorf but have been coming out to the Eldridge location for years. Initially, it was because of the game room for our kids, but they always have a consistently delivered pizza (Canadian bacon and sausage).  Bettendorf is hit and miss with the quality of the cook and toppings.

### 5/5 — Morrison Happy Joes

*2022-02-24, version 1.0*

This pizza place is the best. Great owners and employees! We order from there pretty much every week and are never disappointed!

### 1/5 — Terrible to get into

*2026-05-19, version 1.5*

Shows that I have my email and password correct then when I add my phone number it says it’s already in use and I can’t use it. This is terrible.

### 1/5 — Can’t Even Order a Single Topping Pizza??

*2026-02-15, version 1.5*

How in the world do you make your app so unusable that someone can’t find where to order a large single topping pizza????

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-07-27, version 1.5*

App updated and now asks for a phone number immediately, just to tell you it’s already taken and won’t proceed to anything. Worthless

### 1/5 — app doesn’t work

*2025-06-09, version 1.3*

i’d rate 0 stars if i could since i can’t even log in. it tells me to put in my number to log in but then says “this phone number is already taken” but it’s taken.. because it’s linked to the account im trying to log into, then on the website it says i’m banned from logging in online too lol

### 1/5 — So bad!  No idea how it has 4.7 stars

*2025-05-02, version 1.3*

This app is seriously awful.  Experience varies by location, apparently.  Menu is set up by size of pizza (?) and you scroll for days to find what you want.  Hit the wrong button to add your second item and you’ll be selecting your location and configuring your pizza multiple times before you finally get sent to the payment screen.  And heaven help you if you think you might have a reward.  They send these dumb “reward in app” emails which lead you to believe there is a way to get a discount when in fact there is not.  You can enter a coupon code but of course there wasn’t one of those in your email.  So terrible I may stop ordering HJs because the app makes me so mad. There are plenty of places willing to make placing an order easy…

### 1/5 — Ick!

*2025-04-03*

The app does NOT work. I’m unable to login.   Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Fix the App

*2025-02-12, version 1.3*

This is pathetic.. I have $10off finally and can’t connect. Go figure.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2025-01-29, version 1.3*

The app constantly tells me I’m not connected to the internet and to retry. I’ve only been successful at ordering from it a couple times.

### 1/5 — App is trash

*2025-01-11, version 1.3*

I have signed up for the app and rewards. The app defaults to Davenport for my rewards and when I change it to Dubuque my rewards go away. I try to login and the sign in fails. I cannot login or reset my password. The Dubuque location does not honor the rewards in store so being a rewards member is pointless.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-10-08, version 1.3*

APP IS CURRENTLY UNUSABLE. The first time I tried to use the app, after struggling with it glitching and just straight up crashing, I finally got the order in, only to show up at the store where they don’t have an order. Impossible to use any rewards or points, hard to navigate. The most recent update brings you to a page you have to put your phone number in to “verify information”, only for it to tell you “someone’s already used that number” and you’re stuck on that page, no amount of exiting out or even deleting and reinstalling will fix it. What’s the point of making customers use the app for deals/rewards if the app doesn’t work? So frustrating that it makes us not want to order from Happy Joes again.

Happy Joe’s New Ulm reigns as the best stop in the County!! Always a #1 on the list when coming to town.

### 5/5 — Awesome Pizza

*2026-07-25, version 1.5*

I grew up eating Happy Joe’s pizza and was excited to here they came to Tucson. Went to the new location in Oro Valley and was happy to see everything tastes the same as I remember. Love the Taco Joe pizza. If you haven’t tried, you need to make a trip.

### 5/5 — Great store in Kewanee

*2026-03-11, version 1.5*

### 5/5 — What a delicious supper buffet!

### 5/5 — Yum

*2023-10-07, version 1.2*

Phenomenal pizza! The buttery crust is what makes it so excellent! The diced ham on my Hawaiian is a huge difference then the sliced. The sliced ham with get way overcooked and get real tough. HJ is the best.
