| - Living in Michigan for 6+ years I had the luxury of living by a Jet's Pizza and eating it as often as one could handle; at least once per week for movie night, sometimes more. So when I moved to Cleveland in 2008 I found out really quick that the closest Jet's was like 20 miles away, so the search for a new pizza place for me to grab and go was on.
Fast forward to December 2011 and my search still continued. I tried just about every local pizza joint in my area (delivery and pick-up) within a 5-10 min. drive and really couldn't find anything that could compare. I do blame a lot of this on my biased love for Jet's but I also factually know that I am not the only one with this infatuation (wife, brother, brothers ex., many friends, and a couple bartenders I've got to talking to over the years). Apparently we all have similar palates.
So, to get back on track, December 2011 I decided to do my monthly check on Jet's website to see if any stores are 'coming soon' and what do you know? You guessed it!!! Lyndhurst store coming soon! F'N excited, really super duper excited if you catch my drift. But immediately I started thinking that what if the pizza here tastes different then the one I used to get 6 hours away in Michigan. I'd be devastated.
Opened late December 2011 (during holiday break) and started my long, devoted relationship with the new Jet's just last night with a large deep dish pepperoni, $9.91 after online coupon, paid online, picked up right on time, brought home (10 minute drive), stuck in oven at 200F (wait for wife - 10 minutes), and busted out maybe 5 minutes after she arrived. Obviously both of us are highly anticipating this pie since its been way too long since our last time. Pizza came out still super cheesy, crisp edges, hot and delicious. Let me tell you that Jet's did not disappoint, not a bit, nor could I tell you that there was any difference in taste between the two locations. Bravo Jets, we love you dearly!
Now for those who are thinking about hitting up Jet's in the near future you need to keep a few things in mind. We love the deep dish which comes in small, large, and XL. The 8 corner pizza is great too but a little more expensive. The thin crust and flat are not recommended only because the deep dish is so much better. The subs / boats are fantastic as are the breads. I don't really remember the wings because 9 times out of 10 I only get pizza not to mention I have a completely separate wing craving and like to satisfy only one at a time.
The parking lot is a little crammed. The place was packed around 6:15pm on a Thursday as expected. I live only 3.33 miles away and am out of the delivery radius, so don't be surprised if they don't deliver. It will tell you once you order online and set up your address.
If you can't tell by my review, I'm still pretty excited even the day after. Probably because of the leftovers sitting in my fridge. Enjoy fellow Yelpers!
