Second time visiting this fantastic restaurant and it was just as good as I remembered. We stumbled upon it by accident(what a great "accident ")
last year.Oh my goodness,the works pizza is fantastic. My friend had the philly steak,oh my! Probably the best Caesar salad I have ever had,and oh let's not forget the appetizer,Onion Rings,very close if not the best I've ever had.
Sherry our waitress was great! Great personality. From the moment you walk in till you leave they make you feel appreciated as a customer. This is our go-to spot for vacay! -

After spending one of our vacation days visiting Indian Rocks Beach and Clearwater Beach, we headed back to have dinner and find an ice cream spot in the Indian Rocks Beach area.
We looked on Yelp for nearby pizza places and TJ's pulled up with good reviews. The outside looks like your typical very casual beach area dining establishment. We were in casual shorts and tops and figured we were dressed for dining here. We were surprised upon walking in to see the interior set like a fine Italian eatery.
We were promptly seated and a super friendly waitress brought us menus and told us of specials (that had ended minutes before we arrived). We ordered a 16 inch four cheese pizza on homemade crust and my husband ordered a pizza with several ingredients.
While waiting on our order the waitress brought out bread and oil and a cold jar of fresh from Italy--it was so good!
We all drew beach scenes on the white paper tablecloth while waiting and our waitress took a cute family photo for us.
The pizzas were top notch, service super friendly, and the pastas we saw going to nearby tables looked delicious. So glad we stopped here to dine!
Give TJ's a try! -

I've never been a huge fan of Italian food but our server, Sherri, was incredibly helpful in helping me find something I would like. I had my (lovely and difficult) teenage girls with me and she joked with them and it made for a more peaceful meal. She had great menu knowledge, was quick for refills (and I chug water), had a welcoming disposition and kept attentive to all of our surrounding tables. When we come back we're calling ahead to make sure she's there!

I've had lots of chicken marsala. And TJs has the best! I have no idea why anyone would go to olive garden or Carrabba's when they can eat at TJs. Atmosphere, service, cleanliness were all on point.

My friend brought me here as a surprise for something different, as he knew of the place and how good it was. He was not wrong. The very extensive menu, had all sorts of great dishes, and for the area, very conservative prices. Our meal was excellent, the service was super, and the atmosphere very relaxing and enjoyable. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and a very friendly staff. The parking may be a problem during very busy times, but we had no issues. They also have an early bird menu, which I believe is until 6:00pm
Even at regular prices, it won't break the bank.
Highly recommend you try this privately owned venue over chain restaurants in the area. I think you'll agree, this place is very good, and not the usual assembly line eatery.
