I had the fortune to try the food at Jimmy's on a recent Thursday evening. From the outside, the restaurant looks rather non-descript, but you have to be careful because you could easily overlook a gem of a restaurant based on appearance alone. The inside is small, but cozy. There is a small bar area next to where orders and pickups occur. The dining room is L-shaped and has somewhat limited seating. As I said, it's cozy, warm, and has a New York vibe to it. The walls have old photos of NYC and I found the place quite comfortable.
Now, for the food. I ordered two medium pizzas: the Southwest Heat and the Jersey Shore, along with an order of (free) garlic knots. The knots were rather large and came with marinara sauce. It's hard to screw up knots, but I wish these had a bit more garlic flavor to them. Both pizzas were quite good. The Southwest Heat has a very nice level of heat to it. The Jersey Shore pizza is a sauce-less seafood pizza and I think they did a rather good job with that one.
I will definitely dine here again. The staff were also friendly and helpful. So, overall, if you want an NYC pizza vibe in Tucson, Jimmy's is a good place to visit. Gotta love those little culinary gems...
Read moreSo, I had one poor experience here, and now I've updated and upgraded the review. Hey, I'm owning up to my mistake! I'm thinking that if we're going to do takeout here, it's best to place a to-go order in person, as the (sole) crummy experience was a phone order.
PRO-TIP: If you want a custom pizza, order a build-your-own rather than amending a signature pie. We've ordered the Whitey Ford, Treehugger, and Jersey Shore - the last two with many substitutions.
The calzone, spaghetti and meatballs, eggplant parm and the mushroom ravioli were all really good and flavorful. The garlic knots will give you agita, so the amount of garlic is not for the faint of heart. We've only done takeout for the pizzas, the pastas and calzone were ordered for dining al fresco.
I'm a native New Yorker (born and raised in the 212) and enjoyed Ray's and the original Patsy's. Thus, you can say I'm a pizza brat....
Read moreWe had this delivered on a Saturday night, and the delivery was fast. This was wonderful food. We ordered a X-large Cardiobaby pizza, large Passyunk pizza, Cheesy garlic bread, and a regular Calzone. This is definitely worth all 5 Stars! Everything about this order was excellent. The employee taking my order was so polite and friendly. The food was top notch...the ingredients tastes fresh, the crust is the perfect thickness and full of flavor. Take a look at the photos and see there is no shortage of toppings. Garlic cheese bread with marinara is a must try. We live in a condo complex with a difficulty to find door. The delivery driver found it with no issue, and he was very friendly. Don't hesitate and give this...
