I love this pizza! I'm a plain pizza eating kind of girl so pepperoni is as crazy as I get, theirs is delicious. I've turned Jimmy & Joe's into a weekly weekend ritual. In fact I think I'm going after I finish this review. It's a small informal spot. The staff is friendly. You get a giant slice of pizza two times the size of your head with a coke for under $6. Some seating inside, lots of seating outside. Yummaaaaaay!

Tried this place for the first time tonight. Kind of hidden from the street, but we found it tucked behind a drug store and next to a tattoo shop. There is also a Zipp's close by. Only a few seats inside, but they also have a nice patio. The young lady working at the counter was super nice. We enjoyed the huge slices, salad and wings. If you're in the area, you should give this place a try.

Unbelievable pizza and portions! Nothing gets better than the boneless wings with Joe's sauce. Highly recommend any one of their locations. Can't get better for price, quality and service.

Every time I've gone in for a slice it's always been fresh and absolutely amazing, pizza is my favorite food and Jimmy and Joes is definitely my new favor spot I haven't gone since they started serving egees at all the sites. But I'm very excited to go have a slice and egees!

I have wanted to try New York Style pizza slices ever since seeing Mystic Pizza for the first time about ten years ago. We never got thin foldy pizza in the midwest. We have never lived anywhere near a realistic one. We stopped in here based on Yelp reviews and ordered a sausage and onion slice. I am now five pounds heavier because I cannot get enough of this stuff! I literally love this pizza. Even a cheese slice. Coming from a family that only ordered combination or all meat pan-style thick crust pizza, I always made fun of the cheese pizza eaters. Now, my husband and I always order thin crust at places like Oregano's, but it is the crispy cracker style, not the soft foldable flavorful New York or Jersey style like this. For a quick carb overload or lunch fix, Jimmy and Joe's is my new go to.

This was the first time going to Jimmy and Joe's, but I am sure I will become a regular. For me one of the most important parts of a pizza is the crust. It has to just the right amount of crispness on the outside and chewiness on the inside. The crust on my pizza today was delicious, and the toppings were excellent also.

OMG! This was our first time here and thanks to yelp we found Jimmy & Joes! We were craving pizza and boy did this hit the spot. My fiance got the Serious slice, which was seriously big and so tasty. I got the calzone and holy cow is it huge! Best to share with someone unless you got a mean appetite. All in all really really good stuff!

Pizza is ubiquitous in America. Strike up a conversation with any of your friends, and you will hear them rattle off names, which I can only guess has something to do with being in a capitalist society with brave entrepreneurs competing for a slice of that pizza demand curve amongst a glut of supply. Its not easy to decide when there are so many choices. However, thats why I'm here people. :) I'm going to point you at the lighthouse through all these storm clouds, and that place is in Ahwatukee, and it is called "JIMMY & JOE'S PIZZERIA". Allow me to explain. This place is different than the others. Its not just the fact that the decor and quality of design inside makes for a visually impressive and comfortable experience. Their menu is UNIQUE. Upon my first experience, I came under the pressure of some of my coworkers that dragged me along against my will. Reason being, I was trying to drop a few pounds, and I was averse to stuffing my face with the appetite kryptonite that pizza is to my Regularman. What I found, though, was that I could order a freshly made slice, instead of a personal size or some other portion destined to tempt me to overeat. Simple concept it would seem right? Well, maybe not, because their aren't many places where you can get a slice that is made at JUST THE RIGHT SIZE. There were also combo options, with the drink included, and ways to add a salad and select the toppings you want. Its kinda like Chipotle took off its clothes and became a pizza joint. A compliment I intentionally invoke because of their similarities; and these things are the cleanliness, quality, and ability to customize your order. Well done JIMMY. Well done. I haven't had their delivery yet, but I do know that they do offer that. Since its my opinion I'm sharing, with the intent that it will persuade you also, I would recommend coming here to eat with friends. Its affordable, spacious, and you can even move the tables around if you have a big group with you. I will conclude with the BEST thing I like, next to their thin New York style slices, and it is this: REWARDS! If you sign up for their loyalty program, you are rewarded with special offers via text, such as free slices and discounts, which I have thankfully benefited from when money has been scarce. More importantly though, you get the feeling that your business isn't being taken for granted. I like this particularly, and I will continue to rewind my visits, rather than fast forward. :)

This place is awesome. First off, the pizza is so good! Don't forget the Joes Sauce! The wings are magnificent! And now to top it off, they have Eegees there!

Jimmy & Joe's has been a staple of our diet ever since this Chandler location opened many years back. This thin-crust pizza is complimented with high-quality cheese. You can't beat the seriously slice, which is the perfect amount for a hungry individual (side of ranch, please!). Also, make sure to try the joe's sauce to add some spice! Consistently great pizza with friendly service.

This place blew me away! I was shocked at the taste, really good pizza! Good flavor too, I just got a serious slice with pepperoni. The Joes sauce was good on the wings too, I recommend it! A good lunch spot: quick service, cheap, and good!

Holy cow! Why have i not been here before. Serious Slice means SERIOUS. This is their special of the month - Southwest Chicken. If you not into jalapeños, this will kill you; for me - FEEL DA BURN!

This pizza is hit or miss and at this location, its been mostly a miss. I absolutely hate pizza that is spicy. Why are they putting chile flakes on a slice of cheese pizza? Its not Mexican food. If you want to put chile flakes on a pizza, they should have some chile flakes at the table. This spot is so tiny that it really is not all that pleasant to eat inside. The Jimmy and Joe's located on Dobson in Mesa is better.

A co-worker picked up the rest of us lunch and would not tell us where she was getting it. She came back and our eyes were huge! The most delicious pizza slice with a side of ranch was in front of us. Everyone from the office came to see what we were eating and wanted a bite! She finally said that it was the "serious slice" special. And, well...it was. The following week, it was my turn to pick and I couldn't stop thinking about our FIRST serious slice. This time, we all headed down and sat inside. Looks like this is going to be a weekly ritual. Mmmmmm. Can't wait for next week!!!!

Amazing pizza from a amazing local family. Support local chains and the best pizza in the valley!! The slices are amazing , get pesto the crust. Love their wings the Joe sauce is amazing. My recommendation would be a pepperoni, sausage and meatball slice with pesto on the crust... So amazing

I have mixed feelings about this one. The food was fast and HUGE and delicious, the atmosphere was decent, the workers aren't too pleasant though. A time before I visited, my order was incorrect because they were too distracted. This time, a child of mine spilled their drink accidentally and was trying to clean it. Finally they came over to mop but after, she was completely cold when she passed out the food. The people at the counter need to get their attitudes together...the food alone won't get me to come back often.

Tasty and quick pizza spot. Very NY style pizza, thin and chewy and have large pieces basically two slices in one(I believe they call them a serious slice, ). The sauce on the pizza was great with a slight spicy kick. What I really liked was they had green Chile on toppings list (a staple in NM) so i got a Green Chile and cheese and it was yummy. Wings were nice size and crispy but sauce was just ok. Lunch special was decent price, not cheap but no really expensive ~$10 for 6 wings, drink (had the crushed ice which is a big plus) and a slice. Very small place with a bit of outdoor seating, very simple inside. The staff was very friendly and made it a nice experience. Parking in that area is tight with Zipps and other shops next door but manageable.

Love this place, great pizza and huge slices. Every time I go I get the lunch special with wings. Try their special wing sauce, it's tasty. Service is good and fast and always friendly. Once when our group was leaving and they had an extra pizza and sent it with us, no charge. We will be coming back time and again.

This is NOT New York or New Jersey (or any state for that matter)style Pizza. We ordered a pie with extra cheese and it came home to us overcooked. The crust is way too bready and although we didn't think it was the greatest pie the first time we ordered one, it did not taste like the one we recently ordered. They'll know exactly who we are on this review. It tasted like the cook threw the hot sauce from the wings all over the pie. Although we had also ordered a dozen hot wings, we had not tried them yet but when we did (after we called to report the problems), the pie was hotter/spicier than the wings. The manager said well, our sauce does have some hot pepper in it (WTH), I ordered a cheese pizza. They would only offer us another pie (no thanks, I'm not liking the one I have) or half of the money back and all kinds of hoops until finally he agreed ONLY if we brought back the pie to refund our payment which we promptly got back in the car and returned it. The wings were average and the pie is NOT pizza like we know it from NY or NJ where we were born and raised. A cheese pizza does not burn your throat or tongue when you eat it because it has hot pepper sauce and it should not come to you with brown spots all over it from being over cooked or too close to the fire! SORRY folks, this ain't it.

Came into jimmy and joes today to bring my friend that's never been here! The cashier was setting up the dining room. She did let us in about 10 minutes early but the cashier needs to work on her attitude... She was rushing us both and when my friend was deciding wether or not he wanted wings she said "come on guys, it's not that hard, yes or no" we maybe too 20 seconds to decide on the wings... She let us in early and I thought that she could be having a bad day and it's early but no I went here about a month ago and got the same result from the same cashier... She is not a people person. Food is amazing though!

My favorite pizza spot! The slices are huge, no you don't need two even if you're really hungry. The Joe's wings are delish. Every time I'm in Phoenix I make sure to stop by.

I agree with a few other posts, the product here really is hit or miss depending on which high school kid is cooking it. They have also experienced some price creep as the quality continues to slide. It's good when it's good, bad when it's bad. Hard to justify a $40 pizza when you don't know what your getting. I don't mind spending the money for good food, but I'm done with this place.

Nick A.
I would like to rate zero stars but there was no zero option. We spent well over $50.00 dollars for a single pizza and order of wings that was easily the most horrible dining experience of my life. The pizza was so grotesque that nobody even attempted to eat it. The oil/lard had congealed to a solid state and smelled absolutely disgusting. The wings were so raw they were rubbery to the touch and nobody attempted to eat those either. We asked for the wings to be well done as this the only way we have ever eaten wings. Suffice to say I will never ever eat this crap hole again and suggest you dont either if you value your health. I spoke to someone who claimed to be the owner and was not offered my money back on completely uneaten and satisfactory food. Needless to say I will be calling the department of health as soon as they open.

VALUE. That's what this place is about. Best pizza and wings I ever had? Probably not. No matter. I usually get their special - wings, pizza, and a drink. I can never finish that. Their "serious slice" is pretty damn serious. Giant slice off a giant pizza. That should be a meal in itself but I still get the wings anyway. I usually get that for lunch so it becomes lunch AND dinner basically. Can't beat that with a stick or a 2 by 4. That's all I ever had here. I'm not someone who eats lot's of pizza and often but it's good to have a place like this when you need a quick meal in a pinch. Service is usually decent. Lotsa parking since it's in a mall with Chase Bank, Autozone, CVS PHarmacy, and Zipp's.

Please start selling eeggees like your location Ahwatukee. I guarantee that all of us ex-Tucsonans (and there are a lot of us in Chandler) will flock to your pizzeria and will become loyal patrons very soon!

This is a great place for a large piece of great pizza. It is great place to get filled with some great Italian- fast food Resturant.
This gotta be one of my favorite pizzeria. Carnivore serious slice with wings, always hits the spot. Don't think I'll ever get tired of this place. Service is always great/fast.

Pretty legit and reasonably priced pizza. Serious slice (1 gigantic slice + 2 toppings) comes with a drink (unlimited refills) goes for about 6 bucks. Make sure you use their Joe Sauce, it is amazing! Probably the best pizza I have had in AZ but then again I haven't had all that much.

K J.
I have eaten the wings here a few times, and they are big and meaty. I have to take them home and add some extra heat for my taste. This week I decided to try the Pizza. It tasted good down, but about 2 hours after eating 2 slices of the carnivore pizza I got the chills, and body aches. I didn't associate it with the pizza, until the 2nd day when I had 2 more pieces, and again 2 hours later I was sick. My wife had the popeye and said she never wants it again after the first night due to the horrible gas she got from it. The rest went to the trash.

A few weeks ago, I saw a kid at lunch at my school with a "seriously" big slice of pizza. I asked him where he got it and he showed me the soda cup that came with it. Jimmy & Joe's eh? Gotta try that place. . . Okay. Today I did. I got their Special #1, which is a "serious slice" of pizza and a bottomless drink. The pizza wasn't the best I've had, but it was a pretty damn big slice. For $5, this was a good deal. They apparently also offer a 25 inch pizza here for about a $1 per inch, and they also deliver, which is a plus. Great, I found a place near my work where I can fill myself up for $5 and refill my drink one last time to go. . .sounds like lunch to me.

I love that this place boasts a New Times award for 2008 & 2010 on it's pizza box. Well, it's 2013 and this place is not the best of anything. I've recently had to change my diet because of gluten intolerance (I know, everybody has a gluten issue these days). So I went online to search for a pizza joint that offered gluten free crust and delivered, as I had to stay at work late and was getting hungry. I found this place on Yelp and the reviews seemed okay, so it was worth a shot. They have an online ordering system, which was very nice. I got the 12" gluten free thin crust, with 1 topping (sausage), and cut into squares. They said it would take about 45 minutes. No problem. About 30 minutes after completing my order online the delivery boy was at my door. I was impressed by the fast service. I shouldn't have been. It should have been telling. Like when you go to McDonald's, order your food, and they have the tray with your food sitting on the counter before you're even done paying. You know that stuff has been sitting there for days. So I go and sit down with my pizza. Mmm, smells good, and I'm super hungry. So I open the lid and first thing I notice is there is literally 12 little sausages on the pizza. Little, as in M&M size. They charge $1.40 for one topping. $1.40 for 12 little pieces of sausage? My god, I can buy a Little Caesar's sausage pizza for $6.00 and that thing is covered in sausage. I could pick off all the sausages from a Little Caesar's pizza, throw them in a bag, and sell them on the corner for at least 5 bucks. Apparently Jimmy Joe's can't afford it. "Okay", I think, "That's okay, I can forgive the sausage shortage". So I grab my first piece. Or I tried to grab my first piece. The pizza isn't cut. It has indentations in it. It looks like someone tried to cut it, but the blade didn't go all the way through. What? How does a pizza place not have a blade that goes all the way through a pizza? I'm frustrated and a little disappointed now. Apparently Jimmy Joe's wants me to rip the 12" Frisbee apart with my teeth, like a cave woman. All right Jimmy Joe's, challenge accepted. So I rip a chunk off the edge of the pizza and take my first bite. I immediately have to spit it out. THE PIZZA IS NOT COOKED. It's dough. It's a pancake of raw dough with melted cheese and sauce on top. It's inedible. Gee, I wonder why they couldn't get a pizza cutter through the pizza. Now I know. The funny thing is, the complete crust of the pizza is burnt to a crisp. It's a thin crust, 12" pizza. Can someone explain to me how you can completely burn the crust of a thin crust pizza and yet have the rest of the pizza completely uncooked? Especially when you are a pizzeria? How? How is that even possible? I use to cook pizzas when I was in high school. You make the pizza, stick it in one end of the oven and the thing comes out the other end fully cooked. And if it's not cooked, well gee, I don't know, maybe you put it in the oven for 5 more minutes. Isn't this their job? Cooking pizzas? And you can't even do that right. How sad. So, you can imagine, by this point I am seriously pissed off. I can forgive the stinginess on the sausage. I can forgive my pizza not being cut. But how on earth am I suppose to even be able to say if I like someones food or not, if I can't even eat it? It's unforgivable. $16/pizza + $3/delivery + $2/tax + $3/tip. Wow. $24 later and I get a piece of raw dough with some little rat dropping sized sausage on top. Lucky me. Now I'm at work for another 2 hours, with no dinner. Thanks Jimmy Joe's! Now I have to waste my own time and gas to drive to this place, give them their disgusting pizza back, and get a refund. I get there and I realize as soon as I walk in why this place can't cook a pizza. It's pretty obvious there is no one in charge of anyone in this place. No manager, no owner. Just a bunch of people standing around doing nothing. Guy at the front asks me what I need. I told him I wanted a refund on this pizza I ordered. He asks me if it's from today. Really? Do people hold on to food for longer than a day to return it later? Gross. I told him yes and he asks what was wrong with it. I told him, "It's not cooked. It's a piece of dough, it's inedible." Swear to god, he says, "Oh, ok. " Wow. No, "Oh, I'm sorry about that" or any kind of shocked reaction that they would have sent out an uncooked pizza to someone. It's apparently such a normal occurrence for this place, that the acceptable reaction to a customer returning something is "Oh, ok". The guy goes to get my refund. There is a kid in the back eating cookies over the prep area. Nasty. So I finally get my money back and a very delayed, "Sorry about that". Oh Jimmy Joe's, it's okay. You keep up the great work. I know you'll be in business a long time with such great food.

Short and Sweet.. Down hill since 2013ish.. . Noticed the review from this yr . accurateness. Can NOT blame staff. They are HS students. Terry Black the manager, not there when I had concerns about the quality of the pizzas. Yes under cooked etc., it is HIS job as Manager to properly train them how to make a $$ Jimmy and Joes Pizza.. they are young teens trying to make a buck. THIS IS A CHAIN PLACE.. maybe send comment to the home

Consistently good pizza, but definitely not the best pizza I've had, not by a long shot. But the size of the slice, for the price, is a really good deal! And when you eat in, they give it to you on a platter, with a little personal pizza cutter to eat it with. The novelty of that never gets old.

Brittany S.
This is hands down my all time favorite pizza. I it is priced so well and you get a lot of it. The dough is cooked perfectly, not too soft and not too crunchy, just right. You get a huge "serious slice" and a drink for $5. The slice is huge and cooked to order. The staff is always super friendly. They are always doing fund raising for local schools. :)

Just OK. I think the pizza is fair but the lack of space inside and the customer service is horrible.

The employees at this restaurant are mostly teenagers, and I don't think the problems are unrelated to this fact. The service can be so bad sometimes that you might think you are being "punked". However, I didn't see Ashton Kutcher around anywhere. This is not a place to go for good pizza, and the so called dining room is tiny and filled with little tables and cruelly uncomfortable metal chairs that have no cushioning.

This is another one of my favorite lunch spots in Chandler. If I feel like pizza for lunch when I am working in our Chandler day spa, I always visit Jimmy and Joe's. The slices are giant and come with an individual pizza cutter. There is outside and inside seating and the staff has always been friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you want a slice of pizza in Chandler, AZ.

Pizza is awesome, Joe's sauce is amazing, prices are good and you get a lot of food. Wish they had more room to sit, and sometimes they seem to be short staffed, but it's solid. Fast delivery too.

3/2/11 I've wanted to try this place since a coworker suggested it to me back in December. I trusted his judgment since he also mentioned liking Pomo, which I've bookmarked to try a LONG time ago, when Yelp was all a-buzz about how great the pies were THERE. I could never locate Jimmy & Joe's though, when I was hungry for pizza. I'd always see the sign from the road when I had just eaten, or was on my way to another restaurant, but today I actually wrote down the cross-streets so that I would finally get to try their Gourmet cheese. Since I usually get a cheesy no-sauce pizza, I try to get my veggies in by either adding aritchokes or, even better, asparagus (extremely rare to find at pizza joints, but I have ordered pizzas w/ it before!), but today I decided I'd have a Greek salad, which included mixed greens and romaine lettuce, chopped tomatoes, pitted whole kalamata olives, sliced red onion, and feta. I was very hungry, which might have prejudiced me into really enjoying the salad. It was so HUGE! Even after I had more than my fill of it, there was still so much left-- it almost looked like I hadn't touched it! I found the feta to be creamy enough not to use much of the delicious blue cheese salad dressing. Warning: I thought that all of the saltiness I detected came from the olives. I was wrong-- a lot of it came from the feta itself, which I detected later on, when I had more of the salad after arriving home. Just thought I'd warn you, in case this was an important issue... The pizza arrived about 15 minutes after I ordered it. First thing that struck me is that it had tomato sauce on it!! What?? I wondered what made me think it was going to be all-cheese? Oh, well. The chunks of ricotta looked promising, so I let the matter of the sauce go. I initially thought the crust was going to be perfectly-crisped, but I very soon found out that this pizza is VERY doughy! Whatever crunch I found didn't last very long. The sauce was also VERY salty-- a fact that another coworker highlighted when I told him I didn't care for the pizza at Jimmy & Joe's. We actually chimed "It's too salty" in stereo! I found that funny :) The different cheeses (mozz, ricotta, provolone, and parmesan) didn't really translate into great flavor, either. There was too miuch stringy mozzarella, and I couldn't even taste the provolone. This pie had "FAIL" all over it! At least dessert was OK- I really wanted to try the chocolate cake, but since no one had the ingredient info, I had to pass on it, and instead, I went for the Grandma's Black Cookie, which was essentially a chocolate chip cookie w/ walnuts and oatmeal. This cookie was so big, it spanned the whole length of my open hand! I really enjoyed its flavors, as well as its textures- crunchy outside and moist and chewy interior. A bit too salty in the end, though, but it tasted really great accompanied by a cup of "super-charged," yet burnt Circle K coffee just around the corner... Customer service was friendly enough, if a little ill-prepared when it came to answering some of my questions: Are the veggies used fresh or canned? "Don't know." (Although the kitchen was able to answer, after I'd asked the girl at the counter to go and ask.) Are the salad dressings made in-house? "No. Everything's from a bottle, but we do make our own BBQ sauce." O-K... If you sign up for their emails, you can get coupons or SMS texts to use at J&J's. However, good deals won't get me to stop at J&J's for a second time. Sorry, but w/ so many other delicious options out there, I will have to pass J&J by!

Wow. I can't believe a year went by before I found this place. Ginormous slices from full pies that they make exactly when they're needed. They don't have them chillin' in the front (or the back) like *some* other places. That means you might have to wait a little bit but you'll get a cheesy slice with any toppings you want that has a great flavor, crispy and soft crust exactly how I think of "New York Style" that you can fold and down with your favorite soda. They even give you a pizza slice to cut that massive slice down to size. $6 flat for a huge slice + drink. Slightly pricey but worth it in this case. Great place for a slice. Avoid smaller pies - too doughy. Loses half a star for this. Also, extremely limited seating and service is lacking - high school / college students don't make the greatest hosts, but the food is good. That's what counts in my book. Oh - Venezia's in Tempe has similar size slices for cheaper, but I get a stomach ache after eating there. So, J&Js wins even though it is pricier.

Love their pizza but service not so much. Kids that work there don't seem to know how to smile and talk with mono-tone. I always do take out so doesn't matter if they are unhappy but I would give it 5 if they were little bit more friendly.

You've got to try this place! After living in Chandler for a year and half we finally got around to trying Jimmy & Joe's Pizzeria and we are so glad we did. First off the place is small but they do have a few tables inside and a handful outside. We were lucky because the sun was down and it was a breezy night, so we opted to stay but sit outside. We both ordered the serious slice; pepperoni. It's always good to test out a classic before getting into the complex pizzas. The pizza slices are pretty serious! One is the size of two large slices. They're similar in size I'd say to Venezia's but just slightly wider. They come on round metal pans and accompanied by a pizza cutter! At first I was thrown off by the pizza cutter and just wanted a regular knife but I soon got used to it and thought it was fun. The pizza itself was soooo- good! It was mostly thin crust New York style; I say mostly because the outer edge, where you'd normally hold a slice of pizza, was thicker. I wish it was as thin as the rest of the crust. Anyhow, it had thick melty cheese and oregano sprinkled on top. I always add more oregano and we both add the red pepper flakes. We both were in heaven with these slices. The serious slices are $5.50 and come with a drink, .50¢ extra for additional toppings. Jimmy & Joes does offer pick up, of course, and delivery. This place was so good we decided to go back two days later for lunch. I'm pretty sure Jimmy & Joe's will be our pizzeria of choice for quite a while.

Very good, very consistent quality pizza. Huge pies. Nice variety of toppings! I can personally recommend the "Top 2" on the menu (The Company Combo and the Chicken Pesto; so different that we split our 24" between the 2), as well as the BBQ and The Popeye. Have ate there and taken out 3-4 times now and NO COMPLAINTS. We will definitely go back but unfortunately, we have a few other closer places (Oregano's and NYPD and Vincent's) that are my family's "go to" favorites...

It is good pizza. The slice is huge for lunch. Ordered the 24 Big Jimmy. It gets soggy in the middle. Stick with their regular size large. More and more of these pizza companies are using the toaster conveyor to cook. Im not a big fan of that.

Imran G.
God this place is overrated like none other. I think its because its the only place that does slices in the area? It is like a revelation apparently. Its pretty busy during the weekday lunch hours. Its good pizza, don't get me wrong, but people talk about this like its SO AMAZING. I think the hype comes from all of the high school students that go to Corona Del Sol who haven't had better. There is stuff out there that is just as good if not better. Also, it doesn't cost as much. $30 for a 24" pizza. hmm, lemme think about that. NO. venezia's is cheaper on wednesdays. oh the lunch specials? yeah, venezia's is cheaper and just as good. in fact, they have combo deals available all day that are cheaper, just as good, and just as filling. service is retarded. just like someone else noted, its a bunch of teenagers. i'm not sure what you would expect from them. maybe hire someone who is hmm...not a teenager? i'm really not sure what all the hype about this place is about. it is good stuff, but doesn't live up to the hype. the pricing leaves something to be desired, and if it was a bit cheaper it'd be a more viable option. however, as it is, i think the pricing keeps this place from getting a 4-star.

I'm going to try out writing this review with bullet points... Just so that you all get the just of it! 1.) Fantastic Pizza. Great Portions. Tasty Toppings. 2.) Great for Lunch, as they have tons of specials. 3.) Easily accessable, located right next to the Chase Bank. The negative? 4.) They have almost no room to eat in the store. The chairs are tiny and uncomfortable. It's dark and extremely close-knit. Not a great eat-in experience. My recommendation? 5.) Order ahead of time, take the food home, and enjoy yourself. It's a fantastic slice of pizza, no doubt!

This review is for the Dobson location. This place has the stumbling block of being located in a desperately unfortunate plaza that has all but died and been forgotten about and is a real pain in the ass to get into. I am sure the place would be cleaning up if it had a better spot. That being said, the value for food volume is sure to have the rabid fandom of all of the Dobson high school male athletes. Eating one of these serious slices is too much food for anyone not doing wind sprints on a daily basis. They are friendly and up front about their slice size giving a life sized outline of what you're getting on the ordering counter and the menu level...so you know what you are in for. Massive pizza consumption. Good pie, not the best, but definitely not the worst. Mostly I was pleased with the girls working in the shop, being friendly and engaging, explaining to everyone ordering how it worked and not seeming to get tired of it. I like that they offer wings regular or boneless, and the streamlined menu, curbside service and great staff will most likely put it on a regular rotation for me. Plus it serves as two meals (for me) which is always a plus.

I ordered this place for delivery, so I can't speak to their by the slice pricing that everyone seems impressed with. Their pizza is not bad by any means, but they are more expensive than comparable quality places IMO. I have not try any of their specialties because after trying a simple pepperoni I just couldn't justify $20 for a large. I have also tried their wings and calzones, which both of which I enjoyed. "Joe's Sauce" for their wings is a mix of their medium and Italian dressing, and it is quite tasty, but their wings are very low on actual meat quantity. The calzone I got was fantastic though, and was definitely huge! Next time I order this place I am skipping the pizza, and just getting a Calzone :).

They would have gotten 5 stars but the young lady at the counter would not give me my pizza?! She took FIVE orders before she'd hand it too me. After the 4th person I said, excuse me, may I have my slice. She actually said, no, not until I take all the orders. I finally waved back to one of the cooks, and he handed it over the 4 feet I was away from it to me. Really strange. Past that, pizza was great. It's a big slice. Fresh Mushroom. Not too greasy. Not over cooked. Just right. Sauce was a little sweet as it should be. A little heavy on the spice but still very very good! We may have the scooter club of metro phoenix do an event there if the server does not mind actually "giving" us our order ;-)

I just live around the corner and have MISSED this great pizza place I could walk to! The owner frequents the starbucks I work at and was generous enough to offer us a coupon for a "serious slice" of pizza! I took my 17 yr old son and what a great SLICE it was! The place was crowded and a line of 8-10 ahead of us. Tables outside were full which are always a good sign and the staff friendly! The young lady behind the desk, Isabelle, adorable and friendly as can be! (in cute pink polka dot tennis shoes too!) I had cheese, he had pepperoni and both were hot and delicious! I thought maybe the slices were pre-made before coming in.... but definately not! Lots of teenagers but all were respectful and will be back soon! Great deal for slices of pizza with soda (5.50) especially when an entire pizza is too much! Not many places have this quality for slices. They also offer wings, cazone and their salads in the case looked fresh....will be trying and yelping about them soon! Serious Slice get a 4.5 stars!! :)

You really can't beat a place that gives you a personal pizza slicer with your single pizza slice. For 5 bucks at lunch, you get a refillable fountain drink and this huge slice. All the ingredients taste fresh and create a great slice. I've been here once and I will definitely go back! I ordered the lunch special that comes with 6 wings. These wings were good, but after seeing how large the slice was, you have to be hungry to order them! I think I'll be alright just ordering the slice and drink for now on!

This is hands down the best pizza in the state!! You'll crave it after trying it once and the Joe's sauce is the kind that makes you want to drink it! :) Mmmmmm! Salivating!

The best pizza place in Phoenix. The serious slice is the best deal around and the pizza taste amazing. I have never tried Joe's sauce (forever whatever reason I don't know why), but I am told it only makes the pizza better. I have been going to Jimmy and Joe's for 6 years. Whenever I try a new pizza joint, I always compare it to Jimmy and Joe's and its never a competition. JJP always wins!

Tasted good but made sloppy. The toppings didn't get very well to the edge. It wasn't sliced deep enough and sliced off center. The ingredients tasted good and was hot and fresh.

WOW ... what a refreshing change ... great pizza! Tons of places in the valley serve up pizza, Jimmy & Joe's serves up PIZZA. There is a reason they have been rated the No. 1 pizza joint. Starts with the ingredients, sauce with a nice zest to it and absolutely delicious cheese. A simple menu too ... but main offering is pizza. No pretense, no flair ... just awesome pizza. Want a real challenge? Take on the 24" Big Jimmy, you will need an extra table and more plates. One key to their success and popularity is their neighborhood approach. Stop by and talk to the owner Terry - you will be well fed and leave with a new friend. Kudos.

Alissa M.
Why so serious? Because I am uncomfortably full after consuming a serious slice. lolz. I'm so funny. But seriously, if you're looking for to feel uncomfortably full on some pretty tasty pizza, and you happen to be around the area for lunch, I recommend it. But I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

This place gets 4 stars because the pizza is good and it's really cheap, it's really that simple... Some of the best pizza in AZ, the slices are huge. I've been here for lunch a few times and I've never been disappointed. The wings are pretty good too. It's cheap ($5 for a huge slice and a drink @ lunch) so it's definitely worth checking it out. There isn't a lot of seating so I wouldn't go with more than 4 people. They have Pepsi products which I hate so I get Ice Tea.

We went to the one in Mesa (Dobson/Baseline) after seeing it was rated as one of the east valley's best pizza places. No arguments there!! Delicious! We had the white pizza, some garlic bread, a dozen wings (Joe's sauce), and drinks...for about $25. Plus, if you sign up for their VIP club, you get some awesome perks! Read: free pizza on your birthday and anniversary, as well as points for every dollar you spend!

Sam S.
Arrived here 5 mins before closing and was turned away by the teenage girl working, even though there was 5 other kids dining inside. All we wanted was two slices. Very disappointed by this, especially since we enjoy their pizza very much. Perhaps the owners should give this teen proper training in customer service. Maybe then, she wouldn't have all her teenage friends there hanging out after hours. Make sure to go here during lunch hours, when actual adults are working.

Pizza by the slice...I thought I left that back in NY. I was very happy to find a place that does slices. Jimmy and Joe's just does not do slices they do SLICES. However, do not get too excited this is not NY pizza. Very far from it. The crust is super doughy and the cheese and sauce are just OK. This slice would never make it back home. It would be sent to Pizza jail for perpetrating a REAL slice. Hey but what do I expect this is AZ. I have been here numerous times and we order regularly from them for delivery. It is kind of hit and miss with the slices when you go in. I am guessing because they are usually sitting there and you have to reheat them etc. When we order delivery the pies are great, hot, cheesy with fresh toppings. So I would say if you are in their range for delivery then by all means do so or pick up a pie. They can keep the slices. The salads are OK. I think they should invest in better dressing. They use the cheap store brought stuff and you can definitely tell. J and J upgrade to better dressing. The place seems to be run my a bunch of teenagers. I never see anyone in there older than 22 or so. But I have to say they are always attentive, cheerful and get your food out to you ASAP. However, if you are staying in to eat be prepared for teenage chatter as the staffers have friends coming and going. Can get a bit annoying but that could just be me.

Exceeded my expectations for sure! Really good pizza we'll order again and again and tell all our friends :) The wings were also a hit!

So back in Nov & Dec I tried a few more orders from here. The consistency and quality control seems much improved. Still not my favorite pizza or wings, but not bad either. The sauce still has a bit of sting to it, so if spicy isn't your thing - avoid.

Jose T.
You want a slice bigger than your face? If you answered "Yes." then this is the place for you. This is by my daughters' school, so sometimes we'll grab a bite there on our way home. The slice is enough for them to split and share. Save yourself some money and order the lunch special.

Serious slice of pizza. It's HUGE! Taste's great. Try them, you'll love the pizza.

Charles D.
As pizza by the slice goes, this one hit the medium to low category for me. Sure the slices are fecking huge, but for even cheaper I can get two regular sized slices plus a drink at Bonos just down the street. And the pizza is much better there too. My pizza had almost no sauce, and was real bland. Although the crust did have a decent chewy consistency. The service by the teenagers on staff was also pretty poor.

Steven C.
Edit 1/2010: I'll leave my original review untouched, but feel that I need to add that this place, as other reviewers have noted, can't seem to turn out a consistent pizza from day to day to save their life. We've switched over to Venezia's for our slice cravings, which not only has better prices, but a much friendlier staff. Also, we don't have to navigate teenie-bopper hell to get to the register. Farewell J&J's, you lost us with your ever increasing prices and inconsistent quality. --------------------------------------------------Â------------------------------------- Old review: Normally I like thick crust pizza, not New York style. But this is probably the best thin crust pizza I've had in the valley, and I'm a pizza snob. I have regularly stopped in for a Serious Slice since they opened, and it quickly became a favorite. Even though I occasionally get an inconsistent piece, it's mostly 4 to 5 star quality. However... As great as the pizza is, they've gone ahead and raised the price for a slice for the second time in a little over a year. It went from $3.99 to $4.50, and now to $5 for a slice and a drink. At this point, I can no longer justify the price. I wish the owner would allow a no drink option at a reduced price, so we'll see what happens.

The first time I had one of thier gigantic pizza's I was in heaven. It was so so so good. Since then I have ordered pizza from them twice and it just hasn't been that good. The last time the sauce on the cheese pizza was spicy and my kids wouldn't eat it. I will not order from them again.

Looks: Jimmy & Joe's is a pizza joint with a couple tables and a soda fountain. There's outdoor seating, but half of the year in AZ is too hot for that (and the reflective metal tables don't help.) You're better off doing takeout. Food: They're known for their giant 24" Big Jimmy pizza that barely fits through a doorway. At lunch, they have 1-slice combos w/ drinks + salads or wings. Trust me, one slice is plenty of food. The pizza is good, but not great. It's a notch above delivery chain pizza. (For a quick lunch, I prefer the pizza at NYPD.) Value: The lunch combos go from $5 to $7 and they're a good value. I think the whole pizzas are a little expensive, especially the Big Jimmy. But hey, I guess charging a premium for a pizza that massive is acceptable. Miscellaneous: The place has a stamp card that gives double stamps on Thursday. People really seemed to like the Jimmy sauce, a tangy buffalo wing sauce. Verdict: I'd go back occasionally for lunch, especially on Thursday.

Ok we had a run in with this place today. My buddy loves it and swears it is the best pizza around. I'd had it once and thought it was ok at best, definitely not the best in town like new times says. Tried to order today for football... they do not deliver until 3 on sundays?! WTF! They HAVE to be Mormons, with the limited Sunday hours. We ended up getting Domino's yuck.

My son and his friends go for the lunch special (huge slice, 6 wings and a soda) for $4 all the time. I decided to go with him one day. Wings with Joe's sauce were really good (as good as The Vine in my opinion). The pizza was fantastic - it reminded me of my high school days in NJ when we would go to the local pizza joint for 'a slice'. It was huge! The crust was fantastic. I love pizza this pizza was very, very good. Just a few cafe tables inside and a few tables outside so don't go with a group. If you have a group - order their 24" pie to go - that's right they make a 24" pie and I'm looking for a reason to order one soon. They call it "The Big Jimmy". No beer, no wine, just really good pizza. Just wish it was closer to home!

Danielle I.
The staff is here is always friendly and usually pretty fast (sometimes they have lines out the door so I cut 'em some slack). We eat there a LOT and the pizza and wings are consistently good and very reasonably priced for the specials. We always get the slice and wings special, which comes with a drink. If you get the VIP card, this special is available any time of the day. Yes, there are better pizzas out there, but my family and I still choose to eat here. It's close, it's friendly, it's affordable and it hits the spot.

Fred O.
OK....I'm originally from New Jersey. Growing up, my family used to get out take out pizza from a place where the owner (Nino) didn't speak any English....he was from Italy. Nino tossed the pizza by hand (with no rubber gloves - GASP!) and used to hide his money in one of the pizza boxes rather than use the cash register. This was an era before Domino's, Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. So this has become the yardstick by which all pizza is measured for me. I'm happy to say that Jimmy & Joe's passes the litmus test ol' man Nino established for me years ago....a nice, family owned place with good value and an excellent quality pizza. Sauce can make or break a pizza and J&J's does not disappoint; it's tangy and delicious and the pie (that's right...pie!) has just the right balance of cheese and sauce. While I can't comment on any of the specialty pizzas (hey I'm a purist...cheese or pepperoni for me!) I can say that the pepperoni is spicy and flavorful and has a unique taste that I haven't found anywhere else. Jimmy and Joe's is small...almost hidden away but it it well worth the hunt for this Chandler pizza gem. Not really good for large parties (unless you are taking out - of course) but great to duck in for a slice. They also have a drive in pick-up spot (complete with one of those pneumatic rubber hose bell ringers!) that I make regular use of. You will not be disappointed.

Archie F.
Good, solid slice pizza but a bit pricey. This is my second time eating here, both times were good. Crust is very good, however the sauce was a bit bland this time. One other thing, I asked for tomatoes and they put raw, diced tomatoes on top (the kind you would expect on a taco) rolling off the edge of the pizza - bad idea. Still, this is a step up from Ray's or Barro's if you're in the mood for a slice. But I still think the best sliced pizza in the area is AJ's.
(3)
Brandon H.
Love to come here for lunch. For 5 bucks you can get a huge and I mean HUGE slice of pizza and a drink. I love their special hot sauce for the pizza. Its a mix of Italian dressing and wing sauce from my study of it. I never used to put hot sauce on my pizza until I went to this place. I only put it on when I eat pizza here, every once in a while I like to savior a few untainted bites though. The full size pizzas are even better but never in the area to take home a full size pizza at night.
(4)
Nicole W.
I only enjoy the finer pizza's in life and this place is amazing. Its more of a grab a slice for lunch or order take out for the family place rather than a sit down dining experience. The pizza is amazing, I am a vegetarian so I usually hit the regular cheese or the veggie pizza and they are both awesome. Enjoy! Go for the big Jimmy... I dare ya!

Besides being a small place (which any small biz starts out in) this place is as close to the NJ and NYC pizza i love as it gets in az. I was lucky enough to do one of the owners wifes hair and she gave me a coupon for a serious slice to try it out and i have been going there ever since. It isnt easy to see from the street but its a great place and worth the money for sure. the serious slice combo for lunch is a great deal. Try the joe's sauce on your pizza you wont be sad if you like spicy stuff. keep being amazing guys!

Rich R.
After an hour and a half the pizza was excellent. There was a charity event here last night where half the proceeds went to the family in need. Their volume had tripled due to the event and they handled it very well. I've never seen a pizza place on overdrive like that as I saw about 65 pizzas slung out in an hour. My pizza was excellent. Pepperoni and cheese with just the right amount of sauce. Great crust and not too doughy made it perfect. One dozen wings with Joe's Sauce had just the right flavoring. Not too spicy but not plain either. I was mainly a Barro's fan but I will come back here for the customer service and the great pizza.

Jimmy & Joe's Pizza oh how I love thee and miss thee. Terry Black (owner) is one of the friendliest people I have ever met and his daughter Amy that runs the store when he is not there is equally so. On to the pizza. Its good-got a little kick of spice in the sauce. You can't beat the lunch special and if you are feeding a crowd make sure you order the Big Jimmy. I would have given it 5 stars but I have had an occasion or two when the pizza was a little below average.

After living around the corner from this joint for almost a year, I decided to venture in. I had previously avoided the place because I am from NY and am often disappointed by pizza. I just wasn't up to it. I would rather make the 23 mile drive to Ray's in Scottsdale. Besides, this place kept sending me coupons and I figured any business that has to do so much direct mail advertising probably does not have a product that speaks for itself. I was wrong. It was a chilly Friday afternoon when I finally succumbed to the call of pizza. I walked into the glorified shoebox of a place (a good sign) and was immediately disappointed that there were no slices on display. I like to look at them before I order. Then I can be prepared for way to much cheese or to thick a crust or some other pizza travesty. I was actually only here to look, so I told myself and the guy behind the counter. Well since my super hero power is supreme lack of self control around potentially delicious items, I ordered a slice. Every day from 11am to 3pm they have a slice and a soda for $4. I didn't think this was a huge deal because in my head a slice still should cost $1.50. That makes the soda what, $2.50? Well I was a little more than floored when my slice arrived at the table. It was served on a pizza pan with a rolling cutter. Why, you may inquire? Because the damned thing was bigger than my head! Apparently it's a slice of a 24 inch pie. OK, so maybe the $4 was a good deal after all. As I have been so trained to do by my years on that fish- shaped island, I pressed my right thumb into the middle of the crust to help create the perfect pizza fold. A delicious crunch accompanied the saucy steam rising off my pie. And the whole thing held itself up as I prepared to take my first bite. Tangy sauce, not too much cheese, crunchy crust... nice. I can't wait to try their specialty pies- the Popeye looks amazing. And I don't even have to say "light on the cheese, extra sauce, and crispy crust- you know, NY style" and just hope something edible comes out. I shall return.

I don't care what they put on it, the crust is SO GOOD!!! I love a good crust, but it is so hard to find. This place has it, I ate my crust and my kids crusts! Thin crust pizza with a variety of toppings. I had the White Pizza (mozzarella, garlic, tomato and basil) while my kids split a cheese slice. Nary any grease on my pizza and all ingredients tasted fresh. Good sauce, with flavor- but not overpowering. As mentioned, I brought my kids with me and felt comfortable with them there. The service was prompt and very friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the menu selection was pretty good! $4.50 for a huge slice and a regular drink...seemed like a pretty good deal to me. Already looking for an excuse to go back! Also love the idea of supporting a local independent business! After reading previous reviews about heavy lunch traffic I went a little after 1pm, and still snagged the last indoor table. Next time around I think I'll do their curbside pick up and bring it home. Too bad they can't expand their dining room.

"Serious Slices" really means 1/4th of a pizza!! My first time there was last Sunday. I walked in and was immediately asked what I would like (I was impressed ..remember, I live in Yuma). I explained it was my first visit there and was curious what type of pizza slices they had. In a very clear and friendly manner the employee (maybe Jimmy or Joe?) explained the slices were custom made to order and told me all of their current specials. He then handed me a frequent buyer card (Buy 10 slices get 1 free) and gave me two stamps since it was my first visit. Nice! The slice was ready in ~ 5-10min...delivered to the nice outside table. Excellent crust, plenty of toppings/sauce, and served hot/fresh! I signed up for their VIP club after I ate. A different employee (younger girl) helped me out and was very friendly. Gas to get there from Yuma...$30 A pepperoni and mushroom slice with a drink.....$6.45 VIP club....$0 Great customer service giving you the "I cant wait to come back here" feeling... Priceless! I am going back this weekend and am looking fwd to trying the other menu items...garlic bread, calzone, etc...

Love this place! Their slices are delicious (and HUGE) and a great deal. Service is always fast and good. Their loyalty programs (frequent visits and VIP card) are also great. The fact that they're locally owned and support the local community doesn't hurt either. :) It's basically the only place I go to for pizza nowadays. 1 slice is more than enough, and I love that I can get it just the way that I want. If you're a member of their VIP program (free to join) you can also get the slices for dinner too.

Daniel O.
This place is fantastic. Obviously when you are getting a 12" slice of pizza during lunch it's not going to be the greatest slice of pie ever, but for what you pay, the ridiculous size, and how good it is, the lunch special almost deserves five stars on its own. Not to mention the Joe's sauce is amazing. The staff is always friendly and helpful to the neophytes, and they have a huge assortment of toppings. I do have to agree with some of the reviewers however, the pizza can be a little hit or miss. When it's on the pie is fantastic, when it's off, it's just average. If you are in Chandler, and haven't had the lunch special, you need to try it. Otherwise, consider it a pizza place that's just better than your average takeout place.

The pizza is just OK. Pretty crowded at lunch time and seating is a nightmare. Get the lunch special, you get a personal pizza slicer and a pan. Would get it to go if I didn't live in the west valley. Good idea to have a separate take out door but don't count on this place to be acceptable for those of us with disabilities to get around.

Great pizza and great prices! Only problem is delivery gets backed up during peak times. Wait time over 1 hour? Plan ahead if you want to eat here but you won't be disappointed with the pizza. The sauce they use is delicious!

The pizza here is pretty damn good. I am a New Yorker and have very high standards. This place passes the " ok for AZ" taste test. I do have 2 major issues. They are way too pricey and they do not deliver until after 3 on Sundays. You guys ever here of football? I actually had a pie from here tonight and was a bit upset that it was soggy. Keep that crust crispy.

You are seeing a continuing trend here. When it first opened it was a 5 star place but since then the pizza has been inconsistent and going down hill. The last pizza I ordered, the crust was soggy and it had too much yeast. The cheese was also too rubbery and tasteless. I grew up watching 90210 like many of us "old folks." They had the Peach Pit. Do you remember that place. Well Jimmy and Joes is the pizza version of the Peach Pit. Yes, me and my 30's felt age inappropriate when I arrived. And I immediately felt like I was in high school again when I went to grab a tiny ketchup cup to grab some wing sauce and they said it was 60 cents. Another person walked in and they gave him a hard time because he didn't have his coupon on him even though he read the coupon code over the phone. It had that high school vibe..you know the one I'm talking about the..."I owe you 3 dollars and I'll pay you back tomorrow." vibe. That vibe is felt when you park there. There is limited parking as it is and whatever parking they have, there are signs that limit you to 20 minutes parking almost implying they don't want you to eat there. I was too afraid to take napkins because I'm sure it had some price or limitation attached just like everything else there. I've eaten here several times and I've reached this conclusion: eat at the place but don't pick up pizza here. JJ specializes in the one slice and drink. Their short slices are done well and if you don't eat it hot when it comes right out of the oven, it loses it's flavor fast. I've picked up pizza and it's almost like two different pizzas. When I picked it up, the cheese was exrtremely rubbery and the crust was so chewy like steak. This is a great place for a short lunch or a business lunch but I wouldn't order several pies if I was hosting a Superbowl party or had people over.

Remeber the movie Mystic Pizza with Julia Roberts? They has some secret ingredient in the pizza that made is so so so tasty. I swear there is something in this pizza that makes it so good. I love this place and dont think I will ever eat pizza anywhere else. The lunch special is insane. They give you a slice of pizza that is equal to about 4 slices anywhere else. PS. It is really small but they have a few tables outside.

So it's probably not very fair or objective, but hey, first impressions, right? I went over for a slice for lunch around 1 pm. I've always noticed that this place does not provide much space to sit or hang out and I thought the 'lunch crowd' might have died down by then. Not so much! There was 1 girl passing out orders and taking them. She was super friendly and upbeat though. I had to be the girl to point out there was no ice in the soda fountain but she was more than happy to hop up there and put more in. So considering that there was only 1 person behind the register and a ton of patrons, say maybe 20? It wasn't a bad experience. I waited about 10 min. from the time I walked in to when I walked out with my slice. Pizza slices are ginormous which is always fun and better than every other place with just regular sized slices, right? However; it was mediocre pizza. I mean, I definitely prefer, Buonos, Pestos or Barros for this area. Thin floppy, greasy slices are not what I like in a pizza, but I would like to go back when I can sit down and spend more time checking everything out. It's always busy so maybe I need to give it another shot. It's not like pizza can ever be that bad, right? Like sex? Even when it's not that good, it's stil pretty good!! Jimmy and Joe's, you're all right, but unfortunately, "I've had better!"

Place is awsome. Been going there for a bout a year when I'm on that end of town and only been bummed out once. The pizza is perfect 99% of the time and the workers are always cool. If your looking for a huge slice fer lunch its a must.

A really good pizza experience. They give you your huge slice on a pizza tin and give you little pizza cutters to slice it up. Mon-Tues you can get a second dozen wings for $1.00. Great owners. They are always crowded which is always a good sign. Very good food and service.

My wife and i were at Zipps watching a game and decided to have lunch at this little joint. We were not expecting much because the place looked like a teeny bopper joint. There were high school kids all over the place with skate boards. The girl working the register was 16 and slow and didn't really know how to take an order. Even the kid making the pizzas behind the counter seemed like he was 17. They were all wearing these black t-shirts with their logo on it as if it were a high school senior year shirt.. Yeah, the place looked like a Jamba Juice populated with kids However, we were hungry and it was too late to ask for our money back now. We also spent 10 bucks for two salads, two slices and two drinks. That's obviously not expensive but it's not exactly a deal either. We were shocked. The pizza was a 5/5. It was better than Rays. It was better than Gus. It was better Venezia. The crust was crispy but not burnt. The sauce was tangy but not overpowering. The mozzarella tasted like real mozzarella in that it was slightly rubbery and had that great salt water aftertaste. In other words, it tasted like a genuine NY pie. I know the New Yorkers are not going to give it's full due out of pride but if you put this place in NY and removed the Jamba Juiece ambience, any New Yorker would be fooled. Anyway, that 1 slice was practically the size of an entire pizza. The flavor was spot on. We go to NYC a lot so we know what real "pie" tastes like and this place passed the litmus test. If you have read my other reviews, you know I'm rather picky in regards to critiquing places and this pizza passed my standards. It's also much better tasting than high profile places like Gus' pizza in Tempe. In fact, there is no comparison, this place is significantly better.. The reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is because it's tiny and doesn't really have any place to eat. Rays and Gus' feel like a large 10,000 sq foot Chinese buffet by comparison. Also, the teenager Jamba Juice atmosphere is a little annoying

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.

I love this pizza! I'm a plain pizza eating kind of girl so pepperoni is as crazy as I get, theirs is delicious. I've turned Jimmy & Joe's into a weekly weekend ritual. In fact I think I'm going after I finish this review. It's a small informal spot. The staff is friendly. You get a giant slice of pizza two times the size of your head with a coke for under $6. Some seating inside, lots of seating outside. Yummaaaaaay!

Tried this place for the first time tonight. Kind of hidden from the street, but we found it tucked behind a drug store and next to a tattoo shop. There is also a Zipp's close by. Only a few seats inside, but they also have a nice patio. The young lady working at the counter was super nice. We enjoyed the huge slices, salad and wings. If you're in the area, you should give this place a try.
(4)Paul M.
Unbelievable pizza and portions! Nothing gets better than the boneless wings with Joe's sauce. Highly recommend any one of their locations. Can't get better for price, quality and service.
(5)Gabi L.
Every time I've gone in for a slice it's always been fresh and absolutely amazing, pizza is my favorite food and Jimmy and Joes is definitely my new favor spot I haven't gone since they started serving egees at all the sites. But I'm very excited to go have a slice and egees!

I have wanted to try New York Style pizza slices ever since seeing Mystic Pizza for the first time about ten years ago. We never got thin foldy pizza in the midwest. We have never lived anywhere near a realistic one. We stopped in here based on Yelp reviews and ordered a sausage and onion slice. I am now five pounds heavier because I cannot get enough of this stuff! I literally love this pizza. Even a cheese slice. Coming from a family that only ordered combination or all meat pan-style thick crust pizza, I always made fun of the cheese pizza eaters. Now, my husband and I always order thin crust at places like Oregano's, but it is the crispy cracker style, not the soft foldable flavorful New York or Jersey style like this. For a quick carb overload or lunch fix, Jimmy and Joe's is my new go to.
(4)Tom L.
This was the first time going to Jimmy and Joe's, but I am sure I will become a regular. For me one of the most important parts of a pizza is the crust. It has to just the right amount of crispness on the outside and chewiness on the inside. The crust on my pizza today was delicious, and the toppings were excellent also.
(5)Susane S.
OMG! This was our first time here and thanks to yelp we found Jimmy & Joes! We were craving pizza and boy did this hit the spot. My fiance got the Serious slice, which was seriously big and so tasty. I got the calzone and holy cow is it huge! Best to share with someone unless you got a mean appetite. All in all really really good stuff!

Pizza is ubiquitous in America. Strike up a conversation with any of your friends, and you will hear them rattle off names, which I can only guess has something to do with being in a capitalist society with brave entrepreneurs competing for a slice of that pizza demand curve amongst a glut of supply. Its not easy to decide when there are so many choices. However, thats why I'm here people. :) I'm going to point you at the lighthouse through all these storm clouds, and that place is in Ahwatukee, and it is called "JIMMY & JOE'S PIZZERIA". Allow me to explain. This place is different than the others. Its not just the fact that the decor and quality of design inside makes for a visually impressive and comfortable experience. Their menu is UNIQUE. Upon my first experience, I came under the pressure of some of my coworkers that dragged me along against my will. Reason being, I was trying to drop a few pounds, and I was averse to stuffing my face with the appetite kryptonite that pizza is to my Regularman. What I found, though, was that I could order a freshly made slice, instead of a personal size or some other portion destined to tempt me to overeat. Simple concept it would seem right? Well, maybe not, because their aren't many places where you can get a slice that is made at JUST THE RIGHT SIZE. There were also combo options, with the drink included, and ways to add a salad and select the toppings you want. Its kinda like Chipotle took off its clothes and became a pizza joint. A compliment I intentionally invoke because of their similarities; and these things are the cleanliness, quality, and ability to customize your order. Well done JIMMY. Well done. I haven't had their delivery yet, but I do know that they do offer that. Since its my opinion I'm sharing, with the intent that it will persuade you also, I would recommend coming here to eat with friends. Its affordable, spacious, and you can even move the tables around if you have a big group with you. I will conclude with the BEST thing I like, next to their thin New York style slices, and it is this: REWARDS! If you sign up for their loyalty program, you are rewarded with special offers via text, such as free slices and discounts, which I have thankfully benefited from when money has been scarce. More importantly though, you get the feeling that your business isn't being taken for granted. I like this particularly, and I will continue to rewind my visits, rather than fast forward. :)

This is my go to spot for a slice and wings. Great deal, awesome food and the employees are outstanding.
(4)Michael B.
This place is awesome. First off, the pizza is so good! Don't forget the Joes Sauce! The wings are magnificent! And now to top it off, they have Eegees there!
(5)Nick M.
Jimmy & Joe's has been a staple of our diet ever since this Chandler location opened many years back. This thin-crust pizza is complimented with high-quality cheese. You can't beat the seriously slice, which is the perfect amount for a hungry individual (side of ranch, please!). Also, make sure to try the joe's sauce to add some spice! Consistently great pizza with friendly service.
(4)Zach N.
My favorite pizza spot in Chandler. New York style pizza that requires a fold while eating
(5)Tony M.
This place blew me away! I was shocked at the taste, really good pizza! Good flavor too, I just got a serious slice with pepperoni. The Joes sauce was good on the wings too, I recommend it! A good lunch spot: quick service, cheap, and good!
(5)Jessie S.
Holy cow! Why have i not been here before. Serious Slice means SERIOUS. This is their special of the month - Southwest Chicken. If you not into jalapeños, this will kill you; for me - FEEL DA BURN!
(5)Kirk R.
This pizza is hit or miss and at this location, its been mostly a miss. I absolutely hate pizza that is spicy. Why are they putting chile flakes on a slice of cheese pizza? Its not Mexican food. If you want to put chile flakes on a pizza, they should have some chile flakes at the table. This spot is so tiny that it really is not all that pleasant to eat inside. The Jimmy and Joe's located on Dobson in Mesa is better.
(2)Jennifer S.
A co-worker picked up the rest of us lunch and would not tell us where she was getting it. She came back and our eyes were huge! The most delicious pizza slice with a side of ranch was in front of us. Everyone from the office came to see what we were eating and wanted a bite! She finally said that it was the "serious slice" special. And, well...it was. The following week, it was my turn to pick and I couldn't stop thinking about our FIRST serious slice. This time, we all headed down and sat inside. Looks like this is going to be a weekly ritual. Mmmmmm. Can't wait for next week!!!!
(5)Justin C.
Amazing pizza from a amazing local family. Support local chains and the best pizza in the valley!! The slices are amazing , get pesto the crust. Love their wings the Joe sauce is amazing. My recommendation would be a pepperoni, sausage and meatball slice with pesto on the crust... So amazing
(5)Megan L.
Huge slices and amazing service. Their pizza is so good and by the slice. One slice feeds two easily!
(5)Christie L.
Love them! Pizza is delicious! Great local spot! Everyone should give them a try! Staff could be a little friendlier but the pizza makes up for it!
(5)Shauna W.
I have mixed feelings about this one. The food was fast and HUGE and delicious, the atmosphere was decent, the workers aren't too pleasant though. A time before I visited, my order was incorrect because they were too distracted. This time, a child of mine spilled their drink accidentally and was trying to clean it. Finally they came over to mop but after, she was completely cold when she passed out the food. The people at the counter need to get their attitudes together...the food alone won't get me to come back often.
(3)David H.
Tasty and quick pizza spot. Very NY style pizza, thin and chewy and have large pieces basically two slices in one(I believe they call them a serious slice, ). The sauce on the pizza was great with a slight spicy kick. What I really liked was they had green Chile on toppings list (a staple in NM) so i got a Green Chile and cheese and it was yummy. Wings were nice size and crispy but sauce was just ok. Lunch special was decent price, not cheap but no really expensive ~$10 for 6 wings, drink (had the crushed ice which is a big plus) and a slice. Very small place with a bit of outdoor seating, very simple inside. The staff was very friendly and made it a nice experience. Parking in that area is tight with Zipps and other shops next door but manageable.
(4)Ryan H.
Love this place, great pizza and huge slices. Every time I go I get the lunch special with wings. Try their special wing sauce, it's tasty. Service is good and fast and always friendly. Once when our group was leaving and they had an extra pizza and sent it with us, no charge. We will be coming back time and again.
(4)Kathleen C.
This is NOT New York or New Jersey (or any state for that matter)style Pizza. We ordered a pie with extra cheese and it came home to us overcooked. The crust is way too bready and although we didn't think it was the greatest pie the first time we ordered one, it did not taste like the one we recently ordered. They'll know exactly who we are on this review. It tasted like the cook threw the hot sauce from the wings all over the pie. Although we had also ordered a dozen hot wings, we had not tried them yet but when we did (after we called to report the problems), the pie was hotter/spicier than the wings. The manager said well, our sauce does have some hot pepper in it (WTH), I ordered a cheese pizza. They would only offer us another pie (no thanks, I'm not liking the one I have) or half of the money back and all kinds of hoops until finally he agreed ONLY if we brought back the pie to refund our payment which we promptly got back in the car and returned it. The wings were average and the pie is NOT pizza like we know it from NY or NJ where we were born and raised. A cheese pizza does not burn your throat or tongue when you eat it because it has hot pepper sauce and it should not come to you with brown spots all over it from being over cooked or too close to the fire! SORRY folks, this ain't it.
(1)Tyler D.
Came into jimmy and joes today to bring my friend that's never been here! The cashier was setting up the dining room. She did let us in about 10 minutes early but the cashier needs to work on her attitude... She was rushing us both and when my friend was deciding wether or not he wanted wings she said "come on guys, it's not that hard, yes or no" we maybe too 20 seconds to decide on the wings... She let us in early and I thought that she could be having a bad day and it's early but no I went here about a month ago and got the same result from the same cashier... She is not a people person. Food is amazing though!
(2)Nicki M.
My favorite pizza spot! The slices are huge, no you don't need two even if you're really hungry. The Joe's wings are delish. Every time I'm in Phoenix I make sure to stop by.
(5)Hohn S.
I agree with a few other posts, the product here really is hit or miss depending on which high school kid is cooking it. They have also experienced some price creep as the quality continues to slide. It's good when it's good, bad when it's bad. Hard to justify a $40 pizza when you don't know what your getting. I don't mind spending the money for good food, but I'm done with this place.
(2)Nick A.
I would like to rate zero stars but there was no zero option. We spent well over $50.00 dollars for a single pizza and order of wings that was easily the most horrible dining experience of my life. The pizza was so grotesque that nobody even attempted to eat it. The oil/lard had congealed to a solid state and smelled absolutely disgusting. The wings were so raw they were rubbery to the touch and nobody attempted to eat those either. We asked for the wings to be well done as this the only way we have ever eaten wings. Suffice to say I will never ever eat this crap hole again and suggest you dont either if you value your health. I spoke to someone who claimed to be the owner and was not offered my money back on completely uneaten and satisfactory food. Needless to say I will be calling the department of health as soon as they open.
(1)Jaswant A. S.
VALUE. That's what this place is about. Best pizza and wings I ever had? Probably not. No matter. I usually get their special - wings, pizza, and a drink. I can never finish that. Their "serious slice" is pretty damn serious. Giant slice off a giant pizza. That should be a meal in itself but I still get the wings anyway. I usually get that for lunch so it becomes lunch AND dinner basically. Can't beat that with a stick or a 2 by 4. That's all I ever had here. I'm not someone who eats lot's of pizza and often but it's good to have a place like this when you need a quick meal in a pinch. Service is usually decent. Lotsa parking since it's in a mall with Chase Bank, Autozone, CVS PHarmacy, and Zipp's.

Please start selling eeggees like your location Ahwatukee. I guarantee that all of us ex-Tucsonans (and there are a lot of us in Chandler) will flock to your pizzeria and will become loyal patrons very soon!

This is a great place for a large piece of great pizza. It is great place to get filled with some great Italian- fast food Resturant.

I had to write a review update because we had great experience here last Saturday. To start off my fiancé had constantly been asking me to give them another shot since our last visit because the pizza and wings were so good. I finally gave in on Saturday because I too was craving pizza and Jimmy and Joe's definitely has great pizza, it was just the service that was not so good in the past. So we got there around 6:30pm and it was rainy and cold that evening so as you could imagine, the small restaurant was packed and a very busy place. We went to the front to place our order and a really nice, younger gentleman took our order (I didn't catch his name unfortunately). He was wearing a Disney pin lanyard which I immediately thought was awesome because I am a Disney fanatic and I too was wearing one of my pins on my jacket. We instantly connected over it. He took our order and we decided to eat in. It was quite packed inside (very small interior) but a nice couple was leaving and kindly gave us their table. As we were waiting I observed the very nice gentleman who took our order, really taking the lead and running the front service and giving pizza orders the back of the house. Finally it looks like the owner got the message and maybe hired someone who actually has got it together. This is the first time I have been in here where the restaurant actually looked like it was being managed and running smoothly especially on a busy night. Our pizza came out, a 14 inch with green chilies, pepperoni and onion and it was absolutely delicious as usual. One thing that Jimmy and Joe's does right is pizza and now that they have service back on track it makes me a happy customer. I hope that they can hold on to the gentleman who took our order. I will be back...

This gotta be one of my favorite pizzeria. Carnivore serious slice with wings, always hits the spot. Don't think I'll ever get tired of this place. Service is always great/fast.
(5)Xi L.
Pretty legit and reasonably priced pizza. Serious slice (1 gigantic slice + 2 toppings) comes with a drink (unlimited refills) goes for about 6 bucks. Make sure you use their Joe Sauce, it is amazing! Probably the best pizza I have had in AZ but then again I haven't had all that much.
(4)K J.
I have eaten the wings here a few times, and they are big and meaty. I have to take them home and add some extra heat for my taste. This week I decided to try the Pizza. It tasted good down, but about 2 hours after eating 2 slices of the carnivore pizza I got the chills, and body aches. I didn't associate it with the pizza, until the 2nd day when I had 2 more pieces, and again 2 hours later I was sick. My wife had the popeye and said she never wants it again after the first night due to the horrible gas she got from it. The rest went to the trash.
(2)Matthew D.
A few weeks ago, I saw a kid at lunch at my school with a "seriously" big slice of pizza. I asked him where he got it and he showed me the soda cup that came with it. Jimmy & Joe's eh? Gotta try that place. . . Okay. Today I did. I got their Special #1, which is a "serious slice" of pizza and a bottomless drink. The pizza wasn't the best I've had, but it was a pretty damn big slice. For $5, this was a good deal. They apparently also offer a 25 inch pizza here for about a $1 per inch, and they also deliver, which is a plus. Great, I found a place near my work where I can fill myself up for $5 and refill my drink one last time to go. . .sounds like lunch to me.

Delicious pizza, friendly teenagers working their tails off because it is always busy. Love this place!
(5)Rachel G.
I love that this place boasts a New Times award for 2008 & 2010 on it's pizza box. Well, it's 2013 and this place is not the best of anything. I've recently had to change my diet because of gluten intolerance (I know, everybody has a gluten issue these days). So I went online to search for a pizza joint that offered gluten free crust and delivered, as I had to stay at work late and was getting hungry. I found this place on Yelp and the reviews seemed okay, so it was worth a shot. They have an online ordering system, which was very nice. I got the 12" gluten free thin crust, with 1 topping (sausage), and cut into squares. They said it would take about 45 minutes. No problem. About 30 minutes after completing my order online the delivery boy was at my door. I was impressed by the fast service. I shouldn't have been. It should have been telling. Like when you go to McDonald's, order your food, and they have the tray with your food sitting on the counter before you're even done paying. You know that stuff has been sitting there for days. So I go and sit down with my pizza. Mmm, smells good, and I'm super hungry. So I open the lid and first thing I notice is there is literally 12 little sausages on the pizza. Little, as in M&M size. They charge $1.40 for one topping. $1.40 for 12 little pieces of sausage? My god, I can buy a Little Caesar's sausage pizza for $6.00 and that thing is covered in sausage. I could pick off all the sausages from a Little Caesar's pizza, throw them in a bag, and sell them on the corner for at least 5 bucks. Apparently Jimmy Joe's can't afford it. "Okay", I think, "That's okay, I can forgive the sausage shortage". So I grab my first piece. Or I tried to grab my first piece. The pizza isn't cut. It has indentations in it. It looks like someone tried to cut it, but the blade didn't go all the way through. What? How does a pizza place not have a blade that goes all the way through a pizza? I'm frustrated and a little disappointed now. Apparently Jimmy Joe's wants me to rip the 12" Frisbee apart with my teeth, like a cave woman. All right Jimmy Joe's, challenge accepted. So I rip a chunk off the edge of the pizza and take my first bite. I immediately have to spit it out. THE PIZZA IS NOT COOKED. It's dough. It's a pancake of raw dough with melted cheese and sauce on top. It's inedible. Gee, I wonder why they couldn't get a pizza cutter through the pizza. Now I know. The funny thing is, the complete crust of the pizza is burnt to a crisp. It's a thin crust, 12" pizza. Can someone explain to me how you can completely burn the crust of a thin crust pizza and yet have the rest of the pizza completely uncooked? Especially when you are a pizzeria? How? How is that even possible? I use to cook pizzas when I was in high school. You make the pizza, stick it in one end of the oven and the thing comes out the other end fully cooked. And if it's not cooked, well gee, I don't know, maybe you put it in the oven for 5 more minutes. Isn't this their job? Cooking pizzas? And you can't even do that right. How sad. So, you can imagine, by this point I am seriously pissed off. I can forgive the stinginess on the sausage. I can forgive my pizza not being cut. But how on earth am I suppose to even be able to say if I like someones food or not, if I can't even eat it? It's unforgivable. $16/pizza + $3/delivery + $2/tax + $3/tip. Wow. $24 later and I get a piece of raw dough with some little rat dropping sized sausage on top. Lucky me. Now I'm at work for another 2 hours, with no dinner. Thanks Jimmy Joe's! Now I have to waste my own time and gas to drive to this place, give them their disgusting pizza back, and get a refund. I get there and I realize as soon as I walk in why this place can't cook a pizza. It's pretty obvious there is no one in charge of anyone in this place. No manager, no owner. Just a bunch of people standing around doing nothing. Guy at the front asks me what I need. I told him I wanted a refund on this pizza I ordered. He asks me if it's from today. Really? Do people hold on to food for longer than a day to return it later? Gross. I told him yes and he asks what was wrong with it. I told him, "It's not cooked. It's a piece of dough, it's inedible." Swear to god, he says, "Oh, ok. " Wow. No, "Oh, I'm sorry about that" or any kind of shocked reaction that they would have sent out an uncooked pizza to someone. It's apparently such a normal occurrence for this place, that the acceptable reaction to a customer returning something is "Oh, ok". The guy goes to get my refund. There is a kid in the back eating cookies over the prep area. Nasty. So I finally get my money back and a very delayed, "Sorry about that". Oh Jimmy Joe's, it's okay. You keep up the great work. I know you'll be in business a long time with such great food.
(1)Kbeth S.
Short and Sweet.. Down hill since 2013ish.. . Noticed the review from this yr . accurateness. Can NOT blame staff. They are HS students. Terry Black the manager, not there when I had concerns about the quality of the pizzas. Yes under cooked etc., it is HIS job as Manager to properly train them how to make a $$ Jimmy and Joes Pizza.. they are young teens trying to make a buck. THIS IS A CHAIN PLACE.. maybe send comment to the home
(1)Audrey G.
Consistently good pizza, but definitely not the best pizza I've had, not by a long shot. But the size of the slice, for the price, is a really good deal! And when you eat in, they give it to you on a platter, with a little personal pizza cutter to eat it with. The novelty of that never gets old.
(4)Brittany S.
This is hands down my all time favorite pizza. I it is priced so well and you get a lot of it. The dough is cooked perfectly, not too soft and not too crunchy, just right. You get a huge "serious slice" and a drink for $5. The slice is huge and cooked to order. The staff is always super friendly. They are always doing fund raising for local schools. :)
(5)Chris L.
Just OK. I think the pizza is fair but the lack of space inside and the customer service is horrible.
(1)Rudy E.
The employees at this restaurant are mostly teenagers, and I don't think the problems are unrelated to this fact. The service can be so bad sometimes that you might think you are being "punked". However, I didn't see Ashton Kutcher around anywhere. This is not a place to go for good pizza, and the so called dining room is tiny and filled with little tables and cruelly uncomfortable metal chairs that have no cushioning.
(1)Steve I.
This is another one of my favorite lunch spots in Chandler. If I feel like pizza for lunch when I am working in our Chandler day spa, I always visit Jimmy and Joe's. The slices are giant and come with an individual pizza cutter. There is outside and inside seating and the staff has always been friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you want a slice of pizza in Chandler, AZ.
(5)Bruce L.
Pizza is awesome, Joe's sauce is amazing, prices are good and you get a lot of food. Wish they had more room to sit, and sometimes they seem to be short staffed, but it's solid. Fast delivery too.

3/2/11 I've wanted to try this place since a coworker suggested it to me back in December. I trusted his judgment since he also mentioned liking Pomo, which I've bookmarked to try a LONG time ago, when Yelp was all a-buzz about how great the pies were THERE. I could never locate Jimmy & Joe's though, when I was hungry for pizza. I'd always see the sign from the road when I had just eaten, or was on my way to another restaurant, but today I actually wrote down the cross-streets so that I would finally get to try their Gourmet cheese. Since I usually get a cheesy no-sauce pizza, I try to get my veggies in by either adding aritchokes or, even better, asparagus (extremely rare to find at pizza joints, but I have ordered pizzas w/ it before!), but today I decided I'd have a Greek salad, which included mixed greens and romaine lettuce, chopped tomatoes, pitted whole kalamata olives, sliced red onion, and feta. I was very hungry, which might have prejudiced me into really enjoying the salad. It was so HUGE! Even after I had more than my fill of it, there was still so much left-- it almost looked like I hadn't touched it! I found the feta to be creamy enough not to use much of the delicious blue cheese salad dressing. Warning: I thought that all of the saltiness I detected came from the olives. I was wrong-- a lot of it came from the feta itself, which I detected later on, when I had more of the salad after arriving home. Just thought I'd warn you, in case this was an important issue... The pizza arrived about 15 minutes after I ordered it. First thing that struck me is that it had tomato sauce on it!! What?? I wondered what made me think it was going to be all-cheese? Oh, well. The chunks of ricotta looked promising, so I let the matter of the sauce go. I initially thought the crust was going to be perfectly-crisped, but I very soon found out that this pizza is VERY doughy! Whatever crunch I found didn't last very long. The sauce was also VERY salty-- a fact that another coworker highlighted when I told him I didn't care for the pizza at Jimmy & Joe's. We actually chimed "It's too salty" in stereo! I found that funny :) The different cheeses (mozz, ricotta, provolone, and parmesan) didn't really translate into great flavor, either. There was too miuch stringy mozzarella, and I couldn't even taste the provolone. This pie had "FAIL" all over it! At least dessert was OK- I really wanted to try the chocolate cake, but since no one had the ingredient info, I had to pass on it, and instead, I went for the Grandma's Black Cookie, which was essentially a chocolate chip cookie w/ walnuts and oatmeal. This cookie was so big, it spanned the whole length of my open hand! I really enjoyed its flavors, as well as its textures- crunchy outside and moist and chewy interior. A bit too salty in the end, though, but it tasted really great accompanied by a cup of "super-charged," yet burnt Circle K coffee just around the corner... Customer service was friendly enough, if a little ill-prepared when it came to answering some of my questions: Are the veggies used fresh or canned? "Don't know." (Although the kitchen was able to answer, after I'd asked the girl at the counter to go and ask.) Are the salad dressings made in-house? "No. Everything's from a bottle, but we do make our own BBQ sauce." O-K... If you sign up for their emails, you can get coupons or SMS texts to use at J&J's. However, good deals won't get me to stop at J&J's for a second time. Sorry, but w/ so many other delicious options out there, I will have to pass J&J by!

Wow. I can't believe a year went by before I found this place. Ginormous slices from full pies that they make exactly when they're needed. They don't have them chillin' in the front (or the back) like *some* other places. That means you might have to wait a little bit but you'll get a cheesy slice with any toppings you want that has a great flavor, crispy and soft crust exactly how I think of "New York Style" that you can fold and down with your favorite soda. They even give you a pizza slice to cut that massive slice down to size. $6 flat for a huge slice + drink. Slightly pricey but worth it in this case. Great place for a slice. Avoid smaller pies - too doughy. Loses half a star for this. Also, extremely limited seating and service is lacking - high school / college students don't make the greatest hosts, but the food is good. That's what counts in my book. Oh - Venezia's in Tempe has similar size slices for cheaper, but I get a stomach ache after eating there. So, J&Js wins even though it is pricier.

Love their pizza but service not so much. Kids that work there don't seem to know how to smile and talk with mono-tone. I always do take out so doesn't matter if they are unhappy but I would give it 5 if they were little bit more friendly.

You've got to try this place! After living in Chandler for a year and half we finally got around to trying Jimmy & Joe's Pizzeria and we are so glad we did. First off the place is small but they do have a few tables inside and a handful outside. We were lucky because the sun was down and it was a breezy night, so we opted to stay but sit outside. We both ordered the serious slice; pepperoni. It's always good to test out a classic before getting into the complex pizzas. The pizza slices are pretty serious! One is the size of two large slices. They're similar in size I'd say to Venezia's but just slightly wider. They come on round metal pans and accompanied by a pizza cutter! At first I was thrown off by the pizza cutter and just wanted a regular knife but I soon got used to it and thought it was fun. The pizza itself was soooo- good! It was mostly thin crust New York style; I say mostly because the outer edge, where you'd normally hold a slice of pizza, was thicker. I wish it was as thin as the rest of the crust. Anyhow, it had thick melty cheese and oregano sprinkled on top. I always add more oregano and we both add the red pepper flakes. We both were in heaven with these slices. The serious slices are $5.50 and come with a drink, .50¢ extra for additional toppings. Jimmy & Joes does offer pick up, of course, and delivery. This place was so good we decided to go back two days later for lunch. I'm pretty sure Jimmy & Joe's will be our pizzeria of choice for quite a while.
(5)Bobby H.
Very good, very consistent quality pizza. Huge pies. Nice variety of toppings! I can personally recommend the "Top 2" on the menu (The Company Combo and the Chicken Pesto; so different that we split our 24" between the 2), as well as the BBQ and The Popeye. Have ate there and taken out 3-4 times now and NO COMPLAINTS. We will definitely go back but unfortunately, we have a few other closer places (Oregano's and NYPD and Vincent's) that are my family's "go to" favorites...
(4)Brendan W.
It is good pizza. The slice is huge for lunch. Ordered the 24 Big Jimmy. It gets soggy in the middle. Stick with their regular size large. More and more of these pizza companies are using the toaster conveyor to cook. Im not a big fan of that.
(3)Imran G.
God this place is overrated like none other. I think its because its the only place that does slices in the area? It is like a revelation apparently. Its pretty busy during the weekday lunch hours. Its good pizza, don't get me wrong, but people talk about this like its SO AMAZING. I think the hype comes from all of the high school students that go to Corona Del Sol who haven't had better. There is stuff out there that is just as good if not better. Also, it doesn't cost as much. $30 for a 24" pizza. hmm, lemme think about that. NO. venezia's is cheaper on wednesdays. oh the lunch specials? yeah, venezia's is cheaper and just as good. in fact, they have combo deals available all day that are cheaper, just as good, and just as filling. service is retarded. just like someone else noted, its a bunch of teenagers. i'm not sure what you would expect from them. maybe hire someone who is hmm...not a teenager? i'm really not sure what all the hype about this place is about. it is good stuff, but doesn't live up to the hype. the pricing leaves something to be desired, and if it was a bit cheaper it'd be a more viable option. however, as it is, i think the pricing keeps this place from getting a 4-star.
(3)Jacob B.
I'm going to try out writing this review with bullet points... Just so that you all get the just of it! 1.) Fantastic Pizza. Great Portions. Tasty Toppings. 2.) Great for Lunch, as they have tons of specials. 3.) Easily accessable, located right next to the Chase Bank. The negative? 4.) They have almost no room to eat in the store. The chairs are tiny and uncomfortable. It's dark and extremely close-knit. Not a great eat-in experience. My recommendation? 5.) Order ahead of time, take the food home, and enjoy yourself. It's a fantastic slice of pizza, no doubt!
(4)Nesto M.
This review is for the Dobson location. This place has the stumbling block of being located in a desperately unfortunate plaza that has all but died and been forgotten about and is a real pain in the ass to get into. I am sure the place would be cleaning up if it had a better spot. That being said, the value for food volume is sure to have the rabid fandom of all of the Dobson high school male athletes. Eating one of these serious slices is too much food for anyone not doing wind sprints on a daily basis. They are friendly and up front about their slice size giving a life sized outline of what you're getting on the ordering counter and the menu level...so you know what you are in for. Massive pizza consumption. Good pie, not the best, but definitely not the worst. Mostly I was pleased with the girls working in the shop, being friendly and engaging, explaining to everyone ordering how it worked and not seeming to get tired of it. I like that they offer wings regular or boneless, and the streamlined menu, curbside service and great staff will most likely put it on a regular rotation for me. Plus it serves as two meals (for me) which is always a plus.
(4)Kevin V.
I ordered this place for delivery, so I can't speak to their by the slice pricing that everyone seems impressed with. Their pizza is not bad by any means, but they are more expensive than comparable quality places IMO. I have not try any of their specialties because after trying a simple pepperoni I just couldn't justify $20 for a large. I have also tried their wings and calzones, which both of which I enjoyed. "Joe's Sauce" for their wings is a mix of their medium and Italian dressing, and it is quite tasty, but their wings are very low on actual meat quantity. The calzone I got was fantastic though, and was definitely huge! Next time I order this place I am skipping the pizza, and just getting a Calzone :).
(3)Glen G.
They would have gotten 5 stars but the young lady at the counter would not give me my pizza?! She took FIVE orders before she'd hand it too me. After the 4th person I said, excuse me, may I have my slice. She actually said, no, not until I take all the orders. I finally waved back to one of the cooks, and he handed it over the 4 feet I was away from it to me. Really strange. Past that, pizza was great. It's a big slice. Fresh Mushroom. Not too greasy. Not over cooked. Just right. Sauce was a little sweet as it should be. A little heavy on the spice but still very very good! We may have the scooter club of metro phoenix do an event there if the server does not mind actually "giving" us our order ;-)
(4)Bonnie C.
Very good pizza!!
(4)Deb K.
I just live around the corner and have MISSED this great pizza place I could walk to! The owner frequents the starbucks I work at and was generous enough to offer us a coupon for a "serious slice" of pizza! I took my 17 yr old son and what a great SLICE it was! The place was crowded and a line of 8-10 ahead of us. Tables outside were full which are always a good sign and the staff friendly! The young lady behind the desk, Isabelle, adorable and friendly as can be! (in cute pink polka dot tennis shoes too!) I had cheese, he had pepperoni and both were hot and delicious! I thought maybe the slices were pre-made before coming in.... but definately not! Lots of teenagers but all were respectful and will be back soon! Great deal for slices of pizza with soda (5.50) especially when an entire pizza is too much! Not many places have this quality for slices. They also offer wings, cazone and their salads in the case looked fresh....will be trying and yelping about them soon! Serious Slice get a 4.5 stars!! :)
(4)Andrew Z.
You really can't beat a place that gives you a personal pizza slicer with your single pizza slice. For 5 bucks at lunch, you get a refillable fountain drink and this huge slice. All the ingredients taste fresh and create a great slice. I've been here once and I will definitely go back! I ordered the lunch special that comes with 6 wings. These wings were good, but after seeing how large the slice was, you have to be hungry to order them! I think I'll be alright just ordering the slice and drink for now on!
(4)Krystal B.
This is hands down the best pizza in the state!! You'll crave it after trying it once and the Joe's sauce is the kind that makes you want to drink it! :) Mmmmmm! Salivating!
(5)Sean O.
The best pizza place in Phoenix. The serious slice is the best deal around and the pizza taste amazing. I have never tried Joe's sauce (forever whatever reason I don't know why), but I am told it only makes the pizza better. I have been going to Jimmy and Joe's for 6 years. Whenever I try a new pizza joint, I always compare it to Jimmy and Joe's and its never a competition. JJP always wins!
(5)David O.
Tasted good but made sloppy. The toppings didn't get very well to the edge. It wasn't sliced deep enough and sliced off center. The ingredients tasted good and was hot and fresh.
(3)Hank M.
WOW ... what a refreshing change ... great pizza! Tons of places in the valley serve up pizza, Jimmy & Joe's serves up PIZZA. There is a reason they have been rated the No. 1 pizza joint. Starts with the ingredients, sauce with a nice zest to it and absolutely delicious cheese. A simple menu too ... but main offering is pizza. No pretense, no flair ... just awesome pizza. Want a real challenge? Take on the 24" Big Jimmy, you will need an extra table and more plates. One key to their success and popularity is their neighborhood approach. Stop by and talk to the owner Terry - you will be well fed and leave with a new friend. Kudos.
(5)Alissa M.
Why so serious? Because I am uncomfortably full after consuming a serious slice. lolz. I'm so funny. But seriously, if you're looking for to feel uncomfortably full on some pretty tasty pizza, and you happen to be around the area for lunch, I recommend it. But I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.
(4)C W.
This place gets 4 stars because the pizza is good and it's really cheap, it's really that simple... Some of the best pizza in AZ, the slices are huge. I've been here for lunch a few times and I've never been disappointed. The wings are pretty good too. It's cheap ($5 for a huge slice and a drink @ lunch) so it's definitely worth checking it out. There isn't a lot of seating so I wouldn't go with more than 4 people. They have Pepsi products which I hate so I get Ice Tea.
(4)Alicia W.
I like this a lot better than any of the other take out pizza in the area. This is a quick and tasty Sunday night dinner.
(3)Peaches And Cream Y.
We went to the one in Mesa (Dobson/Baseline) after seeing it was rated as one of the east valley's best pizza places. No arguments there!! Delicious! We had the white pizza, some garlic bread, a dozen wings (Joe's sauce), and drinks...for about $25. Plus, if you sign up for their VIP club, you get some awesome perks! Read: free pizza on your birthday and anniversary, as well as points for every dollar you spend!
(5)Sam S.
Arrived here 5 mins before closing and was turned away by the teenage girl working, even though there was 5 other kids dining inside. All we wanted was two slices. Very disappointed by this, especially since we enjoy their pizza very much. Perhaps the owners should give this teen proper training in customer service. Maybe then, she wouldn't have all her teenage friends there hanging out after hours. Make sure to go here during lunch hours, when actual adults are working.
(2)Nicole J.
Pizza by the slice...I thought I left that back in NY. I was very happy to find a place that does slices. Jimmy and Joe's just does not do slices they do SLICES. However, do not get too excited this is not NY pizza. Very far from it. The crust is super doughy and the cheese and sauce are just OK. This slice would never make it back home. It would be sent to Pizza jail for perpetrating a REAL slice. Hey but what do I expect this is AZ. I have been here numerous times and we order regularly from them for delivery. It is kind of hit and miss with the slices when you go in. I am guessing because they are usually sitting there and you have to reheat them etc. When we order delivery the pies are great, hot, cheesy with fresh toppings. So I would say if you are in their range for delivery then by all means do so or pick up a pie. They can keep the slices. The salads are OK. I think they should invest in better dressing. They use the cheap store brought stuff and you can definitely tell. J and J upgrade to better dressing. The place seems to be run my a bunch of teenagers. I never see anyone in there older than 22 or so. But I have to say they are always attentive, cheerful and get your food out to you ASAP. However, if you are staying in to eat be prepared for teenage chatter as the staffers have friends coming and going. Can get a bit annoying but that could just be me.
(3)Liz D.
Exceeded my expectations for sure! Really good pizza we'll order again and again and tell all our friends :) The wings were also a hit!
(5)Michael C.
So back in Nov & Dec I tried a few more orders from here. The consistency and quality control seems much improved. Still not my favorite pizza or wings, but not bad either. The sauce still has a bit of sting to it, so if spicy isn't your thing - avoid.
(3)Jose T.
You want a slice bigger than your face? If you answered "Yes." then this is the place for you. This is by my daughters' school, so sometimes we'll grab a bite there on our way home. The slice is enough for them to split and share. Save yourself some money and order the lunch special.
(4)Dave W.
Serious slice of pizza. It's HUGE! Taste's great. Try them, you'll love the pizza.
(5)Charles D.
As pizza by the slice goes, this one hit the medium to low category for me. Sure the slices are fecking huge, but for even cheaper I can get two regular sized slices plus a drink at Bonos just down the street. And the pizza is much better there too. My pizza had almost no sauce, and was real bland. Although the crust did have a decent chewy consistency. The service by the teenagers on staff was also pretty poor.
(2)Steven C.
Edit 1/2010: I'll leave my original review untouched, but feel that I need to add that this place, as other reviewers have noted, can't seem to turn out a consistent pizza from day to day to save their life. We've switched over to Venezia's for our slice cravings, which not only has better prices, but a much friendlier staff. Also, we don't have to navigate teenie-bopper hell to get to the register. Farewell J&J's, you lost us with your ever increasing prices and inconsistent quality. --------------------------------------------------Â------------------------------------- Old review: Normally I like thick crust pizza, not New York style. But this is probably the best thin crust pizza I've had in the valley, and I'm a pizza snob. I have regularly stopped in for a Serious Slice since they opened, and it quickly became a favorite. Even though I occasionally get an inconsistent piece, it's mostly 4 to 5 star quality. However... As great as the pizza is, they've gone ahead and raised the price for a slice for the second time in a little over a year. It went from $3.99 to $4.50, and now to $5 for a slice and a drink. At this point, I can no longer justify the price. I wish the owner would allow a no drink option at a reduced price, so we'll see what happens.
(2)Jasmine C.
The first time I had one of thier gigantic pizza's I was in heaven. It was so so so good. Since then I have ordered pizza from them twice and it just hasn't been that good. The last time the sauce on the cheese pizza was spicy and my kids wouldn't eat it. I will not order from them again.
(2)Trent B.
Great lunch specials, giant slices, and don't forget to get your card stamped to earn a free slice!
(5)Chris W.
Great pizza!!!! Has got to be the best pizza in town. Just don't count on any real customer service.
(4)Howard E.
Looks: Jimmy & Joe's is a pizza joint with a couple tables and a soda fountain. There's outdoor seating, but half of the year in AZ is too hot for that (and the reflective metal tables don't help.) You're better off doing takeout. Food: They're known for their giant 24" Big Jimmy pizza that barely fits through a doorway. At lunch, they have 1-slice combos w/ drinks + salads or wings. Trust me, one slice is plenty of food. The pizza is good, but not great. It's a notch above delivery chain pizza. (For a quick lunch, I prefer the pizza at NYPD.) Value: The lunch combos go from $5 to $7 and they're a good value. I think the whole pizzas are a little expensive, especially the Big Jimmy. But hey, I guess charging a premium for a pizza that massive is acceptable. Miscellaneous: The place has a stamp card that gives double stamps on Thursday. People really seemed to like the Jimmy sauce, a tangy buffalo wing sauce. Verdict: I'd go back occasionally for lunch, especially on Thursday.
(3)Fred M.
Ok we had a run in with this place today. My buddy loves it and swears it is the best pizza around. I'd had it once and thought it was ok at best, definitely not the best in town like new times says. Tried to order today for football... they do not deliver until 3 on sundays?! WTF! They HAVE to be Mormons, with the limited Sunday hours. We ended up getting Domino's yuck.
(1)Velma T.
Yuuuummmm!!! I am soooooo glad I ran into this pizzeria on Yelp! I decided to check it out and am glad i did!! Their pizza slices are HUGE and delicious. They have great lunch specials
(5)Paige H.
My husband and I just moved in the neighborhood and we were very excited to find a new pizza place. J&J is quick, a good value and you get very large slices! I would definitely recommend!
(4)Steve S.
My son and his friends go for the lunch special (huge slice, 6 wings and a soda) for $4 all the time. I decided to go with him one day. Wings with Joe's sauce were really good (as good as The Vine in my opinion). The pizza was fantastic - it reminded me of my high school days in NJ when we would go to the local pizza joint for 'a slice'. It was huge! The crust was fantastic. I love pizza this pizza was very, very good. Just a few cafe tables inside and a few tables outside so don't go with a group. If you have a group - order their 24" pie to go - that's right they make a 24" pie and I'm looking for a reason to order one soon. They call it "The Big Jimmy". No beer, no wine, just really good pizza. Just wish it was closer to home!
(4)Danielle I.
The staff is here is always friendly and usually pretty fast (sometimes they have lines out the door so I cut 'em some slack). We eat there a LOT and the pizza and wings are consistently good and very reasonably priced for the specials. We always get the slice and wings special, which comes with a drink. If you get the VIP card, this special is available any time of the day. Yes, there are better pizzas out there, but my family and I still choose to eat here. It's close, it's friendly, it's affordable and it hits the spot.
(5)Fred O.
OK....I'm originally from New Jersey. Growing up, my family used to get out take out pizza from a place where the owner (Nino) didn't speak any English....he was from Italy. Nino tossed the pizza by hand (with no rubber gloves - GASP!) and used to hide his money in one of the pizza boxes rather than use the cash register. This was an era before Domino's, Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. So this has become the yardstick by which all pizza is measured for me. I'm happy to say that Jimmy & Joe's passes the litmus test ol' man Nino established for me years ago....a nice, family owned place with good value and an excellent quality pizza. Sauce can make or break a pizza and J&J's does not disappoint; it's tangy and delicious and the pie (that's right...pie!) has just the right balance of cheese and sauce. While I can't comment on any of the specialty pizzas (hey I'm a purist...cheese or pepperoni for me!) I can say that the pepperoni is spicy and flavorful and has a unique taste that I haven't found anywhere else. Jimmy and Joe's is small...almost hidden away but it it well worth the hunt for this Chandler pizza gem. Not really good for large parties (unless you are taking out - of course) but great to duck in for a slice. They also have a drive in pick-up spot (complete with one of those pneumatic rubber hose bell ringers!) that I make regular use of. You will not be disappointed.
(4)Archie F.
Good, solid slice pizza but a bit pricey. This is my second time eating here, both times were good. Crust is very good, however the sauce was a bit bland this time. One other thing, I asked for tomatoes and they put raw, diced tomatoes on top (the kind you would expect on a taco) rolling off the edge of the pizza - bad idea. Still, this is a step up from Ray's or Barro's if you're in the mood for a slice. But I still think the best sliced pizza in the area is AJ's.
(3)Brandon H.
Love to come here for lunch. For 5 bucks you can get a huge and I mean HUGE slice of pizza and a drink. I love their special hot sauce for the pizza. Its a mix of Italian dressing and wing sauce from my study of it. I never used to put hot sauce on my pizza until I went to this place. I only put it on when I eat pizza here, every once in a while I like to savior a few untainted bites though. The full size pizzas are even better but never in the area to take home a full size pizza at night.
(4)Nicole W.
I only enjoy the finer pizza's in life and this place is amazing. Its more of a grab a slice for lunch or order take out for the family place rather than a sit down dining experience. The pizza is amazing, I am a vegetarian so I usually hit the regular cheese or the veggie pizza and they are both awesome. Enjoy! Go for the big Jimmy... I dare ya!
(5)tyler c.
Besides being a small place (which any small biz starts out in) this place is as close to the NJ and NYC pizza i love as it gets in az. I was lucky enough to do one of the owners wifes hair and she gave me a coupon for a serious slice to try it out and i have been going there ever since. It isnt easy to see from the street but its a great place and worth the money for sure. the serious slice combo for lunch is a great deal. Try the joe's sauce on your pizza you wont be sad if you like spicy stuff. keep being amazing guys!
(5)Rich R.
After an hour and a half the pizza was excellent. There was a charity event here last night where half the proceeds went to the family in need. Their volume had tripled due to the event and they handled it very well. I've never seen a pizza place on overdrive like that as I saw about 65 pizzas slung out in an hour. My pizza was excellent. Pepperoni and cheese with just the right amount of sauce. Great crust and not too doughy made it perfect. One dozen wings with Joe's Sauce had just the right flavoring. Not too spicy but not plain either. I was mainly a Barro's fan but I will come back here for the customer service and the great pizza.
(5)McCools B.
Best local pizza place ever!!!!! KEEP IT LOCAL!!!!!
(5)Lisa G.
Jimmy & Joe's Pizza oh how I love thee and miss thee. Terry Black (owner) is one of the friendliest people I have ever met and his daughter Amy that runs the store when he is not there is equally so. On to the pizza. Its good-got a little kick of spice in the sauce. You can't beat the lunch special and if you are feeding a crowd make sure you order the Big Jimmy. I would have given it 5 stars but I have had an occasion or two when the pizza was a little below average.
(4)Lindsay L.
After living around the corner from this joint for almost a year, I decided to venture in. I had previously avoided the place because I am from NY and am often disappointed by pizza. I just wasn't up to it. I would rather make the 23 mile drive to Ray's in Scottsdale. Besides, this place kept sending me coupons and I figured any business that has to do so much direct mail advertising probably does not have a product that speaks for itself. I was wrong. It was a chilly Friday afternoon when I finally succumbed to the call of pizza. I walked into the glorified shoebox of a place (a good sign) and was immediately disappointed that there were no slices on display. I like to look at them before I order. Then I can be prepared for way to much cheese or to thick a crust or some other pizza travesty. I was actually only here to look, so I told myself and the guy behind the counter. Well since my super hero power is supreme lack of self control around potentially delicious items, I ordered a slice. Every day from 11am to 3pm they have a slice and a soda for $4. I didn't think this was a huge deal because in my head a slice still should cost $1.50. That makes the soda what, $2.50? Well I was a little more than floored when my slice arrived at the table. It was served on a pizza pan with a rolling cutter. Why, you may inquire? Because the damned thing was bigger than my head! Apparently it's a slice of a 24 inch pie. OK, so maybe the $4 was a good deal after all. As I have been so trained to do by my years on that fish- shaped island, I pressed my right thumb into the middle of the crust to help create the perfect pizza fold. A delicious crunch accompanied the saucy steam rising off my pie. And the whole thing held itself up as I prepared to take my first bite. Tangy sauce, not too much cheese, crunchy crust... nice. I can't wait to try their specialty pies- the Popeye looks amazing. And I don't even have to say "light on the cheese, extra sauce, and crispy crust- you know, NY style" and just hope something edible comes out. I shall return.
(4)Heather H.
I don't care what they put on it, the crust is SO GOOD!!! I love a good crust, but it is so hard to find. This place has it, I ate my crust and my kids crusts! Thin crust pizza with a variety of toppings. I had the White Pizza (mozzarella, garlic, tomato and basil) while my kids split a cheese slice. Nary any grease on my pizza and all ingredients tasted fresh. Good sauce, with flavor- but not overpowering. As mentioned, I brought my kids with me and felt comfortable with them there. The service was prompt and very friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the menu selection was pretty good! $4.50 for a huge slice and a regular drink...seemed like a pretty good deal to me. Already looking for an excuse to go back! Also love the idea of supporting a local independent business! After reading previous reviews about heavy lunch traffic I went a little after 1pm, and still snagged the last indoor table. Next time around I think I'll do their curbside pick up and bring it home. Too bad they can't expand their dining room.
(4)Craig C.
Portions are large, pizza was average. Place was moderately busy, so service was slow. I will not be in a hurry to come back.
(3)K S.
The pizza here is pretty good. The wings were decent. The pricing wasn't too bad, $5 for a huge slice and a beverage. The service was adequate, friendly and quick enough. The inside section is tiny and can get cramped pretty quickly.
(4)Michael H.
Get the serious slice! You won't regret it! I've been to many pizzerias and nothing comes close to this one. They have this delicious pizza sauce that you can't get anywhere else.
(5)PJ C.
"Serious Slices" really means 1/4th of a pizza!! My first time there was last Sunday. I walked in and was immediately asked what I would like (I was impressed ..remember, I live in Yuma). I explained it was my first visit there and was curious what type of pizza slices they had. In a very clear and friendly manner the employee (maybe Jimmy or Joe?) explained the slices were custom made to order and told me all of their current specials. He then handed me a frequent buyer card (Buy 10 slices get 1 free) and gave me two stamps since it was my first visit. Nice! The slice was ready in ~ 5-10min...delivered to the nice outside table. Excellent crust, plenty of toppings/sauce, and served hot/fresh! I signed up for their VIP club after I ate. A different employee (younger girl) helped me out and was very friendly. Gas to get there from Yuma...$30 A pepperoni and mushroom slice with a drink.....$6.45 VIP club....$0 Great customer service giving you the "I cant wait to come back here" feeling... Priceless! I am going back this weekend and am looking fwd to trying the other menu items...garlic bread, calzone, etc...

Love this place! Their slices are delicious (and HUGE) and a great deal. Service is always fast and good. Their loyalty programs (frequent visits and VIP card) are also great. The fact that they're locally owned and support the local community doesn't hurt either. :) It's basically the only place I go to for pizza nowadays. 1 slice is more than enough, and I love that I can get it just the way that I want. If you're a member of their VIP program (free to join) you can also get the slices for dinner too.

This place is fantastic. Obviously when you are getting a 12" slice of pizza during lunch it's not going to be the greatest slice of pie ever, but for what you pay, the ridiculous size, and how good it is, the lunch special almost deserves five stars on its own. Not to mention the Joe's sauce is amazing. The staff is always friendly and helpful to the neophytes, and they have a huge assortment of toppings. I do have to agree with some of the reviewers however, the pizza can be a little hit or miss. When it's on the pie is fantastic, when it's off, it's just average. If you are in Chandler, and haven't had the lunch special, you need to try it. Otherwise, consider it a pizza place that's just better than your average takeout place.

Great pizza for a great price! And the staff is super friendly. I can't even count how many times I've been here. One of my favs!

The pizza is just OK. Pretty crowded at lunch time and seating is a nightmare. Get the lunch special, you get a personal pizza slicer and a pan. Would get it to go if I didn't live in the west valley. Good idea to have a separate take out door but don't count on this place to be acceptable for those of us with disabilities to get around.

Great pizza and great prices! Only problem is delivery gets backed up during peak times. Wait time over 1 hour? Plan ahead if you want to eat here but you won't be disappointed with the pizza. The sauce they use is delicious!

The pizza here is pretty damn good. I am a New Yorker and have very high standards. This place passes the " ok for AZ" taste test. I do have 2 major issues. They are way too pricey and they do not deliver until after 3 on Sundays. You guys ever here of football? I actually had a pie from here tonight and was a bit upset that it was soggy. Keep that crust crispy.

You are seeing a continuing trend here. When it first opened it was a 5 star place but since then the pizza has been inconsistent and going down hill. The last pizza I ordered, the crust was soggy and it had too much yeast. The cheese was also too rubbery and tasteless. I grew up watching 90210 like many of us "old folks." They had the Peach Pit. Do you remember that place. Well Jimmy and Joes is the pizza version of the Peach Pit. Yes, me and my 30's felt age inappropriate when I arrived. And I immediately felt like I was in high school again when I went to grab a tiny ketchup cup to grab some wing sauce and they said it was 60 cents. Another person walked in and they gave him a hard time because he didn't have his coupon on him even though he read the coupon code over the phone. It had that high school vibe..you know the one I'm talking about the..."I owe you 3 dollars and I'll pay you back tomorrow." vibe. That vibe is felt when you park there. There is limited parking as it is and whatever parking they have, there are signs that limit you to 20 minutes parking almost implying they don't want you to eat there. I was too afraid to take napkins because I'm sure it had some price or limitation attached just like everything else there. I've eaten here several times and I've reached this conclusion: eat at the place but don't pick up pizza here. JJ specializes in the one slice and drink. Their short slices are done well and if you don't eat it hot when it comes right out of the oven, it loses it's flavor fast. I've picked up pizza and it's almost like two different pizzas. When I picked it up, the cheese was exrtremely rubbery and the crust was so chewy like steak. This is a great place for a short lunch or a business lunch but I wouldn't order several pies if I was hosting a Superbowl party or had people over.

Remeber the movie Mystic Pizza with Julia Roberts? They has some secret ingredient in the pizza that made is so so so tasty. I swear there is something in this pizza that makes it so good. I love this place and dont think I will ever eat pizza anywhere else. The lunch special is insane. They give you a slice of pizza that is equal to about 4 slices anywhere else. PS. It is really small but they have a few tables outside.

So it's probably not very fair or objective, but hey, first impressions, right? I went over for a slice for lunch around 1 pm. I've always noticed that this place does not provide much space to sit or hang out and I thought the 'lunch crowd' might have died down by then. Not so much! There was 1 girl passing out orders and taking them. She was super friendly and upbeat though. I had to be the girl to point out there was no ice in the soda fountain but she was more than happy to hop up there and put more in. So considering that there was only 1 person behind the register and a ton of patrons, say maybe 20? It wasn't a bad experience. I waited about 10 min. from the time I walked in to when I walked out with my slice. Pizza slices are ginormous which is always fun and better than every other place with just regular sized slices, right? However; it was mediocre pizza. I mean, I definitely prefer, Buonos, Pestos or Barros for this area. Thin floppy, greasy slices are not what I like in a pizza, but I would like to go back when I can sit down and spend more time checking everything out. It's always busy so maybe I need to give it another shot. It's not like pizza can ever be that bad, right? Like sex? Even when it's not that good, it's stil pretty good!! Jimmy and Joe's, you're all right, but unfortunately, "I've had better!"

Place is awsome. Been going there for a bout a year when I'm on that end of town and only been bummed out once. The pizza is perfect 99% of the time and the workers are always cool. If your looking for a huge slice fer lunch its a must.

A really good pizza experience. They give you your huge slice on a pizza tin and give you little pizza cutters to slice it up. Mon-Tues you can get a second dozen wings for $1.00. Great owners. They are always crowded which is always a good sign. Very good food and service.

My wife and i were at Zipps watching a game and decided to have lunch at this little joint. We were not expecting much because the place looked like a teeny bopper joint. There were high school kids all over the place with skate boards. The girl working the register was 16 and slow and didn't really know how to take an order. Even the kid making the pizzas behind the counter seemed like he was 17. They were all wearing these black t-shirts with their logo on it as if it were a high school senior year shirt.. Yeah, the place looked like a Jamba Juice populated with kids However, we were hungry and it was too late to ask for our money back now. We also spent 10 bucks for two salads, two slices and two drinks. That's obviously not expensive but it's not exactly a deal either. We were shocked. The pizza was a 5/5. It was better than Rays. It was better than Gus. It was better Venezia. The crust was crispy but not burnt. The sauce was tangy but not overpowering. The mozzarella tasted like real mozzarella in that it was slightly rubbery and had that great salt water aftertaste. In other words, it tasted like a genuine NY pie. I know the New Yorkers are not going to give it's full due out of pride but if you put this place in NY and removed the Jamba Juiece ambience, any New Yorker would be fooled. Anyway, that 1 slice was practically the size of an entire pizza. The flavor was spot on. We go to NYC a lot so we know what real "pie" tastes like and this place passed the litmus test. If you have read my other reviews, you know I'm rather picky in regards to critiquing places and this pizza passed my standards. It's also much better tasting than high profile places like Gus' pizza in Tempe. In fact, there is no comparison, this place is significantly better.. The reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is because it's tiny and doesn't really have any place to eat. Rays and Gus' feel like a large 10,000 sq foot Chinese buffet by comparison. Also, the teenager Jamba Juice atmosphere is a little annoying
