Great pizza and staff. Chef worked her buns off. A great sign.
I got the picante pizza, caponata, buratta and banana Nutella cake and everything was absolutely delicious. The bread and pizza is quite doughy (I expected a thinner more crunchy crust based on the pizza oven) but I was pleasantly surprised. The one thing is that they told us the pickup was for 7 although it didn’t come out until 7:15. Not a big deal though because it was yummy!
Cute atmosphere, I sat at the bar, the wood-fired oven is from Italy. Chatted with the owner, very friendly! It was their first birthday so we got to try the carrot cake they were offering to the guests to celebrate. I tried 3 different pizzas, the special of the day with sunchokes, spinach and cheese was my fave. dough was good, could be even more risen in the middle
Great little restaurant. Only thing holding back 5th star is the size of the place. Great staff. Limited menu, everything we tried was GREAT. Three of us had 2 appetizers, 2 pizzas,1 dessert and 4 drinks. $100.00 not including tip.
The margherita and the mushroom pizzas were perfect. Got the caesar salad at the co-owner’s recommendation and am so glad we did. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on the menu here. Staff, and even fellow customers, were all super friendly and kind. It’s a place worth supporting, for the pizza and for the community. We’ll be back as often as we can!
Best.Pizza.Ever. Nothing in the western suburbs comes close - and the starters (winter citrus salad) and sides (roasted broccoli) take it over the top - alongside incredible service and a perfect wine/cocktail selection. Can’t wait to return….
Jinny's consistently has the best pizza I've ever had besides Antico in Atlanta and like, places in Italy. It's unmatched and the people are incredibly nice to match. I probably eat too much of it but that's ok. 5 emphatic stars
After waiting for over an hour to go to one of our favorite restaurants a couple doors down, my husband, a friend, and I listened to our angry stomachs and decided to give Jinny's a try. We popped in and were immediately offered three seats at the bar. From that point forward, we had a truly phenomenal eating experience. We started with the chicken meatballs, which were perfect. The texture was the right balance between springy, soft, and juicy while the rosemary added a unique and delicious twist. The house tomato sauce was so great that when I ran out of wood-fired bread/pizza dough to sop it up, the waitstaff noticed and brought more bread to continue. Not only that, but when there was no more sauce to eat and a little bread remained, they dropped off even more sauce in a bowl to itself. Needless to say, the customer service is on point! Furthermore, the two pizzas that we ordered were fantastic and the fact that they even had hot honey available to fulfill my husband's request, says a lot about the thought that has gone into planning the menu. Not only was the food and service top notch, but we enjoyed the personal attention and conversation from the co-owner as our meal wound down. All this being said, give Jinny's a try. It's a welcome addition to Newton Centre and another worthy option in an already great food scene!
What a great spot! We enjoyed an impromptu date night at Jinny’s. The food, beverages and staff were awesome. Thank you, Dave, Matt, Marissa and the whole team for a great night. We’ll definitely be back again!
Transcendent. Divine. Scrumptious.Those were the words that floated around my grey matter as I sunk my teeth into each of the three pizzas we snagged from this gem of an establishment.Located smack in the middle of Newton Center, with a decent amount of street and off-street parking, Jinny's Pizzeria is a fairly new establishment but quite possibly the best addition to Newton... ever?Their Naples-style pizza is crisp, thin and yet chewy. It's wood-fired and there's a slight char. Their toppings are and specials are top-notch and include fancy ingredients like raclette cheese, and speck (an Italian dry-cured, smoked ham) - both of which are the stars of the Alpine Pizza ($18) where they mingle alongside some red onion and very thinly sliced potato. Yum!Their Formaggi pizza ($16) is also pretty epic, and features a great mix of different cheeses, including blue cheese - something not commonly found here in the US and yet oh so classically European. It's so damn good.Even their pepperoni pizza ($16) is great and generously topped with those delicious, greasy cups of meat heaven. You can add a side of Mike's Hot Honey on there for an extra buck and have yourself a religious experience... maybe. You can also try one of their two dippin' sauces for your pizza bones - at $2 a pop, you can either do their house-made, dill-centric ranch one or their North-end inspired cheese/chili oil based one. Both are tasty.Their menu also offers many other things - which I have yet to explore (but will) but try not to miss their roasted Brussels sprouts appetizer ($10) - they're beautifully roasted and joined by golden raisins, pine nuts and some chili. It makes great use of their wood-oven, which is the showpiece and the center of their kitchen.Jinny's is owned by the same peeps who also run the great Sycamore which is a few doors down from there and it's a very well oiled machine. The service is impeccable and the menu has specials and is somewhat seasonal which is a nice plus.All in all, this is quickly becoming one of my favs in the Boston-area.
