Plain cheese, a classic. Original Thin & Crispy, cut in squares.

Both gluten-free crusts are prepared at their own dedicated station, separate from the regular dough, so we can serve guests with celiac disease. When you pick a shop we copy your build, so you can paste it into your order.

Square-cut, explained

Why squares?

Tavern-style (or party-cut) pizza is a thin, crispy pizza sliced into squares. At J. Burns’ it has simply been the house cut since 1965. You get crispy corner squares, cheesy center squares, and a pie that’s easy to share.

Want something besides pizza? Our fresh subs come on 9″ rolls with chips, and the salads are built with the same premium deli meats and cheeses. Need gluten-free? See the gluten-free menu.

Good to know

Pizza questions, answered

What kind of pizza does J. Burns' make?

Thin, crispy, square-cut pizza, the style often called tavern-style, made the same way since 1965. Every pie starts with a dough made specially for us, gets topped edge to edge, and is baked until the edges crisp, then cut into squares instead of wedges.

What is the difference between square-cut and tavern-style pizza?

They’re the same thing. Tavern-style (or party-cut) pizza is a thin, crispy pizza sliced into squares. At J. Burns’ it has simply been the house cut since 1965. You get crispy corner squares, cheesy center squares, and a pie that’s easy to share.

Does J. Burns' have gluten-free pizza?

Yes. Two gluten-free crusts, available every day at all three shops: a rice flour crust (10″ and 14″) and a cauliflower crust (10″). Both are made for guests with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, and nearly any topping can go on either crust.

Is the cauliflower crust vegan or keto?

The cauliflower crust is a gluten-free option made for guests avoiding wheat; it isn’t a vegan or keto claim. If you have specific dietary questions, call your shop and the crew will walk you through the ingredients.

Can I build my own pizza?

Absolutely. Pick a crust (original thin and crispy, gluten-free rice, or cauliflower) and load it from our topping lineup: pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, ground beef, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, banana peppers, black or green olives, pineapple, tomatoes, and extra cheese.

Where can I see pizza prices?

Current prices are in the online ordering system and on the in-shop menu board. Order online for pickup at any of our Lakeland or Winter Haven shops and you’ll see exact prices as you build your order.
