Facts about this location, in plain terms:
Some cities do foldable slices. Lakeland does squares — at least it has at J. Burns’ since 1965. Our Edgewood Drive shop bakes the same pizza Polk County grew up on: a thin, crispy crust from a dough made specially for us, topped edge to edge and cut into squares, the style pizza people in other towns call tavern-style. Around here, it’s just J. Burns’.
This is a family pizza shop in every sense. We host spirit nights for Lakeland schools and churches, feed Little League teams after games, and know a lot of our regulars by their order. Dine in with the family, grab a quick fresh sub at lunch, or order online and your pizza is boxed and waiting when you pull up.
Specialty square-cut pies like the Deluxe, Meatzilla, and Chicken Bacon Ranch, or build your own.
Spirit nights, team dinners, and office lunches. Square-cut pizza travels well.
Two gluten-free crusts, rice flour in 10″ and 14″, and cauliflower in 10″, prepared at a dedicated gluten-free station separate from the regular dough. That is what lets the Edgewood Dr shop serve guests with celiac disease, not just guests avoiding gluten by choice. Nearly any topping works, and just about anything else on the menu can be converted too.
The fastest way to get J. Burns’ is to order online for pickup from the Edgewood Drive shop — your pizza is ready when you arrive. Call 863-450-2986 and the crew can walk you through current ordering options.
Square-cut pizza — sometimes called tavern-style — is a thin, crispy pizza sliced into squares instead of wedges. J. Burns’ has cut its pizza this way since 1965: crispy corner pieces, cheesy center squares, and a pie that stretches further when you’re feeding a group.
Yes. Every J. Burns’ location offers two gluten-free crusts — a rice flour crust in 10″ and 14″, and a cauliflower crust in 10″ — made for guests with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Most toppings are available on either crust, and there are gluten-free salad options too.
The shop is closed Monday, open Tuesday through Thursday 11am to 9pm, Friday and Saturday 11am to 10pm, and Sunday 11am to 8:30pm.
Yes — spirit nights for local schools and churches are a J. Burns’ tradition. Square-cut pizza travels well and feeds a crowd. Contact the shop to set one up, or see our catering page for group orders.
