Possibly the worst pizza I've ever had. The crust actually tastes and feels a bit like cardboard. The crust has these weird crimped edges and it is thin in a bad way. It is also a little burned. The cheese has no pull at all and very little flavor. I paid like $1.80 per topping and there are not even many toppings. Garlic bread was also bad and overcooked. The place brags about their ponza rotta (basically a deep fried calzone), but considering they can't even get the pizza right, I have no interest in trying anything else. Save your money and just buy a frozen pizza.

It had been a number of years since the last time that I'd eaten here. I was very disappointed with my meal. After waiting about a half an hour before it was ready, when it was the garlic bread (which I was talked into) was as cold as the container it was in! When you pay good money for it you would expect it to be even the least bit warm! Not only was it cold, but it was overly toasted with the garlic tasting burnt. I mentioned this to the guy who took my order and he said that I should have mentioned it to him sooner. Perhaps, but since I already waited so long I really didn't want to wait even longer for him to make another order of garlic bread. While he did apologize, he offered no incentive for me to return. Maybe I should have gone to Fuzzy's like I had originally had planned. Big fail, Jimmy!

It used to be a proficient well oiled machine. Now it is the slowest unorganized place I've ever seen. So sad it used to be awesome.

Order is always hot and fresh. Had the best ponza ever, tonight. Perfect amount of cheese, meat and sauce. My son loves the hot dogs. Sometimes there’s a long wait time, but well worth it.

Before this place got new management, it was amazing. Greasy heaven. Since the original owner died and the restuaunt has been in New hands, the spaghetti is overcooked and the sauce tastes bland. The garlic bread has gone from 5 stars to -1. Burnt, flavorless thin strips of dissapointment.

This was my First time visiting this place after everyone kept telling me about it. I am originally from Chicago so my pizza standards are quite high I did not get pizza from here I got a Panza Rotta and it was absolutely delicious I can’t wait to come back and try it again. The staff was absolutely wonderful very friendly from the time we walked in with a goodbye thanks for coming. When places like this have been around for a long time there’s obviously a reason for that and the food definitely spoke for itself great recipes equals great food. If you haven’t been here it’s a MUST.

Get a ponza and make sure to get it with extra fillings! They're incredible. Kid ordered a grilled cheese though that tasted like a salt lick. Service was slow, but understandably so because they were pretty busy and only one cook. Consider ordering ahead for pickup. Will definitely be back.

You have not lived until you try a ponza! This place is awesome! Great small business... great food and staff... I dont lie... order early... they are busy because they are delicious!!!

They wrote the right order on the boxes but screwed up our take out. First bad experience ever here, but 2 people went hungry because of incorrect ingredients. Normally an easy 5 star, but not today

I have been ordering here for 20 years but for some reason it's gone down hill over the past few years. I payed $25 tonight with a $7 tip to have a large pizza delivered and it was ice cold without sauce. My husband and I work extremely hard to be able to order out on a Friday night and this is just disappointing. Unfortunately will not order from Jimmy's again!
