The food here is good, the staff is friendly, the beer is cold. What else do you want in a neighborhood Italian joint? Oh......and they have Peroni on tap!!

Disappointed Calamari overdone and tasteless Sauce on all of our entrees could have been used as plaster. Looks like their biggest claim to fame were their large selection of beer. There isn't enough beer in the entire county to make this meal palatable

Great family owned place. Wonderful atmosphere and service. Great food. Pizza is good. Their meat is great (sausage, meatballs, etc). Highly recommend their Italian Beef and Sausage Sandwich, or the homemade potato gnocchi with Vodka Sauce.

What an embarrassment!! If wanted cold food, I would have ordered an ice cream! If I wanted tasteless food, I would have order water. The food will go down as the worst I've had since moving to AZ four years ago. The food was bad enough for me to go out of my way and download this app just to leave this review...yes, that's how you know I won't be back. Tasteless tasteless tasteless. Let's just say I returned my food and gave the server the balance on the gift card, since I won't be back. If I were to win a lifetimes supply of their food, I'd give it back bc I wouldn't want my own reputation tarnished by giving it to someone else for them to experience. Read the reviews on their previous location and they had some bad ones there too. I fear that the only good ones are from their friends or regulars who have grown to become comfortable with the place. Basically, this restaurant does not deserve anymore of my time, money or review....

This is a great little taste of Chicago in AZ. The thin crust pizza is a good as many in Chicago. The beef is a disappointment if you have had a Chicago Beef recently, it will work if want close to Chicago, but avoid if you want the real thing. I am a regular at Jimmy's we go every Friday, we go three Friday's a month. When we attended tonight we were told they were completely booked, when we asked to wait, we were told we are completely booked for tonight. I have never experienced a restaurant that refused to tell me how long the wait was, but rather wanted me to leave. I am waiting for the next table because I believe that as a regular who attends as frequently as I do, I at least should be told a time rather than encouraging me to leave. Confused an waiting... At 20 minutes but still waiting... Will post again at the end of tonight's experience.

The food was not good. The owner sat at the bar and badgered the employees and customers. I ordered the stuffed mushroom and they were mushy and flavorless. The "homemade" gnocchi was brutal. I think they may have frozen it and recooked it. I am not sure how they are still open.
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
