| - Nope. Nah. Nu-uh. Not happenin', cuz.
I moved to Arizona from Chicago. I'm a die-hard Gino's East fan, and quite simply there's nothing else to compare. Granted- I have other pies that I've come to love in my day, and those are magnificent for what they are. But for Jimmy's to advertise themeselves as 'Jimmy's of Chicago'... for me, being who I am, I feel like that's disingenuous and predatory.
Try a few pies in Chicago and you'll quickly learn what Chicago pizza is all about. Now, I just placed a phone order with Jimmy's, and I set myself up for (what I was hoping would be) a tasty pie. It was delivered, credit card slip was signed, and that was that.
Then I open the box.
... WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS LIMP PIECE OF CLOWN-ASS DOUGH-PLATE?!!?!?
You make a pie like this in the 'K' streets, you come down to the Southside, and that's when bad things happen to good people. I also ordered some clams- and these people have the nerve... THE FUCKING NERVE... to stuff clamshells full of breading, stuffing, and (God I hope) minced clam meat, then put it on the menu.
You know what...? Maybe it's my fault. Maybe I missed some sort of fine print. Maybe I didn't read the disclaimer. Maybe I should have read a little deeper. But go fuckyaselves- tonight, I wanted a good deep dish Chicago pie, and was willing to try something new (clams with pizza??!?! sounds good!!!). This order bit me in the ass and I'm willing to live with that. And maybe I'll try them out again and they'll blow me out of the water- I'm willing to hope so. But for now- TWO STARS. Not what I was hoping for, and not good enough to save themselves from my raging hunger-wrath.
