pizza joint

Casual Italian eatery

A pizza joint is a casual restaurant that serves pizza, typically an independent or small-chain establishment rather than a formal pizzeria.

The word *joint* here carries its informal sense of a place or establishment: Let's grab a slice at that pizza joint on the corner.

The term suggests unpretentious, often neighborhood dining.
