Jimmz Pizza — Restaurant in Waterbury

The staff was very friendly! The cost was more than I expected, but for the area, I guess it's kind of appropriate. The crust was ok, it didn't have much pull to it, and seemed to be lacking in depth as far as flavor goes, but it was palatable. The calzone was kind of flat as far as flavor goes too, the kids and I had calzones. The toppings were basic but good (pepperoni and black olives) nothing outstanding. There was too much moisture to the ricotta, kind of sogged up the mozzarella, almost like a thick, bland, cheesy soup. Again, it unfortunately lacked depth of flavor, we were not wowed by the food, but we were starving, it was ok for eating, and was filling. The staff was friendly, and made up for some of the disappointment in the food. The bathroom was not the cleanest I've seen, lots of dingy dust and dirt build-up on the sink faucet, paper towel dispenser (which was practically falling off the wall and held together by scotch tape) and such items like that were just not what I would expect from a restaurant, especially in the Stowe/Waterbury area. Also, the door locks didn't line up well, and doors themselves didn't shut completely. It made my two younger kids nervous about using the facilities alone. I'm not overly picky, just trying to be honest about our experience and the impression we got. I SO wanted this place to be awesome and the food to be great, like we'd been told it was, but it just wasn't, especially for the cost. Three stars is being kind, my kids said a 1.5 at best, that's for the food, not the service. I hope in the future we get the drive to try again and have a better experience, but not sure if it'll be anytime soon. ...

Confession I grew up in New Haven County Ct and lived in NYC after school.

I’ll review as this a guy who loves and knows Neapolitan/nyc/ new haven style pizza/apizza.

I’ll give Jimmz the Dave Portnoy treatment.

I ate regularly at places dave would give a high 8- low 9.

I would give Jimmzs compared to those a solid 7.5, in nyc it would a local neighborhood pizza joint where all the locals go for their pie and odds are they would recommend it friends.

Since we are in Vermont ill give this a 9.

I hate to say it Vermont sucks for pizza,

We are plagued with conveyor belt pizza, oven mass produced dough that you can taste the dimethicone silicone oil in” yoga mat” thats topped with a gallon of over seasoned corn syrup,tomato paste concoction they call sauce the topped with a grainy filler laden flavorless mush they call cheese, if you’re lucky they will swap the conveyor belt oven for a wood fired but still make a bad pizza.

Not Jimmz They got it down

crust? Thin, crispy with stand out. They probably do use 00’flour or at least bread flour and it looks and feels cold fermented

Sauce they got it down, crushed tomato, garlic, oregano and olive oil and some sugar to cancel out the acidity.

Cheese? Real mozz no filler, low moisture part skim good job.

Keep up the good work If you miss NYC pizza eat here...

Why is it so hard to find pizza that doesn’t taste like cardboard here? As a native Vermonter, I don’t have the highest expectations for pizza, but this place’s attempt was just straight up sad. My boyfriend and I ordered a pizza here recently because I wanted to finally try this place, and let’s just say we won’t be going back. The pizza itself just disintegrated in your mouth with absolutely no taste whatsoever. The dough was cheap and flavorless, as was the sauce and the small amount of cheese on it. Our only topping, the pepperoni, was the saddest part - they again literally tasted like NOTHING and it was also the tiniest pepperoni I think I’ve ever seen, AND they gave us next to none!! There were literally 2-3 tiny slices of pepperoni on each piece of pizza, so most bites were just cheese (which also didn’t have a taste). I also want to point out that there were like 4-5 guys just standing around when we got there, so it was clearly a slow night. For the amount of people working and the slow pace of the night, our food should have tasted 90 times better. Go anywhere else in the area, they’re all better than this place. Do...
