Aman RahmanAugust 22, 2015If you're ever in Chicago and feel the craving for some New York style pizza, Jimmy's has it all. Their pizza is super delicious and the people there are so nice! Will go there again of course.
Absolutely blown away by how good this pizza is. Pretty authentic NY style pizza, make sure to try the sausage. The beignets are also delicious and you can fill up for under $10 here.
BillJanuary 19, 2018The pizza is so good. Big foldable slices. Love the sausage and how they crumble it so you get some in every bite. Maple bacon knots were a pleasant surprise too
Jeff EarlyNovember 24, 2015OMG, best slice in Chicago. Great NY style slices and fantastic NOLA benignets! What a concept, do not feel guilty about the fried dough, as my friend exclaimed "it's mostly air!" Order pz well done
RyanDecember 3, 2018All the pizza is great and authentic with excellent fresh ingredients that make even simple pies like margherita stand out. They made a margherita pie for me even though I only saw it for slices.
Jimmy recently made his crust crispier and it's also resulted in a naturally sweeter dough. If you haven't been in a while, now you have even more of a reason to go.
Best NY pizza outside the city. Get there early, and pick up some bacon knots. They're absolutely fantastic!
Michelle TruongOctober 3, 2013Pizza is delicious! Get the sausage and spinach pizzas, respectively. Great chewy crust, very NYC-like. Kinda pricey at $3.15/slice, more like $4 with tax, but worth it. Get the Brooklyn Deal.- RyanDecember 3, 2018The crust: perfect rise and chew. Everything about this pizza: the whole is much greater than the parts. There’s artistry here. Third tip so far - I just can’t get over it.
Holly ShumanMay 15, 2021We got a couple of pizza slices and beignets. It was so good! I can see why this place makes some of the Chicago best pizza places lists.
Jaime HWMay 28, 2014The bacon knots are amazing!!!!!! Glazed with maple syrup and butter.. perfect smokey, salty, sweet, ooey goodness
ArmandNovember 11, 2015Beignet is just fried dough with a fancy name. Pizza is great though; perfect crust.
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Try the White Pizza—it's like pizza and garlic bread made sweet, tender love in your mouth. Read more
Time Out ChicagoFebruary 17, 2012The house specialties here are bubbly, chewy New York–style Neapolitan pizzas and lovely, fluffy New Orleans beignets. Read more- Try the meatball sub, its amazing. 3 gigantic meatballs with Grande provolone cheese and fresh basil...can't beat it.
Alexander MotovAugust 20, 2019Windy city pizza and Ezzo pepperoni and Margherita pizza. Reminds of Brooklyn everytime I get pizza here.
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Cleetus Friedman, chef of Fountainhead, eats here on his nights off. He loves the White pizza. Read more
