| - TL; DR version: Pretty decent if you want pizza and well-sized subs on the cheap. Taste pretty good, but not a lot of bells and whistles. Three stars because I like bells and whistles.
Actual review: I tried this place for the first time via delivery and ordered 2 buffalo chicken subs, one chicken bacon ranch sub, one steak and cheese sub and a large 3 topping pizza (green peppers, sausage and onions).
I ordered via Eat24 and the order took about 35-40 minutes to arrive. My order total was $37.52, just shy of $40.00, and fed three hungry teenagers and one adult. Not bad.
In the spirit of giving a good review, I should disclose that I love food and have very discerning taste, but unlike other foodie reviewers, I know how to scale it down and keep my reviews relative to the type of food I'm eating. Okay so, bottom line: this is street food. If you're used to artisan pizzas, well seasoned layered sandwiches and fusions galore, then this place may not be for you. However, if you frequently try to eat on the cheap (Little Caesars) because you have kids or you're in college or whatever, then you'll probably appreciate Jimmy's.
Personally, I feel the menu has a pretty decent selection of foods; the pizza is a fair size and price and the sandwiches are large. I'm not big on pizza, but for those of you who prefer minimal marinara , good amounts of cheese and well-sized toppings, you might dig it. Like I said, I'm not into pizza but I actually liked theirs and found myself eating three slices. Not bad.
What stopped me from giving this place more stars were the sandwiches. I just moved here from dtown Phoenix where we used to order from the Italian Spoon, who offered a variant of subs as a meal with fries and a drink for $7.50. The subs are about 4/5ths the size of Jimmy's, but they're rich in flavor. Add to that the fact that you get a 8 ounce drink and plenty of fries, you can't help but call that a good deal. Unfortunately, though Jimmy's subs are a pretty good size, I didn't feel mine was that great. I had the Chicken, Bacon and Ranch, and though I felt the sandwich had a hearty amount of chicken and bacon, I found myself put off by how dry the chicken was. I recall ordering this sub specifically for the ranch, and maybe there was ranch on there but I didn't taste it. I don't expect succulent chicken from a street pizza joint, but if they splurged a little on more ranch I probably wouldn't have noticed or cared about dry anything. The bread is a ciabatta type texture, so that mixed with the chicken on each bite added to the dryness. Don't get me wrong, the bread is actually pretty good, but I thought to myself, "why isn't there at least some shredded lettuce on this?"... "and maybe a couple slices of tomato?" I'm just saying it's the little things... If they had hooked that sandwich up with a few more works, they could have squeezed those last two stars out of me, but instead I'm over here kicking myself for not having ranch in my fridge. As a suggestion, when people buy subs, they want loaded, dripping, hot messes filled with that nasty-good stuff (veggies, chili beans, cheese upon cheese upon cheese, BACON, etc). I forgive y'all for not struggling to be excessive, but for $7.50 a sandwich at least throw some ranch and lettuce in there, please.
You can't beat the pizza price so I'll order again, but tbh I'd give the steak sub a try and will probably pass on the rest from now on.
Update: The steak sub is a lot better :). Thanks for reading.
