Dear Jimmy Z, I love you. The end.
I have been searching high and low for a pizza place like this in my (new) hometown of Vegas, and have yet to find anything comparable. Jimmy Z's pizza is so good- the dough has just the right amount of chewiness and crispiness I love, they don't drown the pie in cheese, and each slice has just the right amount of "I need a napkin to clean up the sauce on my fingers"-ness to it. Oh and did I mention it's cheap? Well it is.
Just a heads-up, this is "square" pizza. Typically a thicker crust than a regular pizza and you will see a lot of sauce peeking out from the cheese. Are you familiar with Sam's pizza just a few miles down the road? Then you will know what I am talking about. The middle pieces don't come with any crust, so expect to get a little messy.
We only had plain cheese pizza, so I can't speak for the toppings. Personally, when it comes to this kind of pizza I prefer mine topping-free. But that's just me.
I was so excited to have this old-school-east-coast pizza on my recent trip back home that I stopped here twice. Why is it so hard to find a place like this on the west coast? Is it really the water? Does the humidity help with the dough? Do all the good pizza makers keep themselves back east? The world may never know.
