Jimmy's Pizza Cafe - Chicago

I am new jersey born and it reminds me of the pizza of home. this place is right next to my job, I come at least once in the week. had 2 slices pfefferoni. the cheese and sauce ratio was perfect and the crust was beautiful. cool looking place also, very good looking restaurant. my only weighting is 14$ for 2 discs and a soda. that is quite steep, but I think everyone will better get off getting a whole torte, but the discs in the glass display from the theke were hard to pass. I wish there were many places that the pizzas have in the northeast in chicago.

I grew up in this area, back then this was the old Erin Glen Pub in the 80/90s. Me and the neighborhood kids would by a basket of fries for 50 cents. Since the pub, the restaurant has changed owners and concepts at least five times over the last two decades. The owners of Jimmy’s Pizza Cafe have the magic touch offering delicious thin crust NY style pizza with unique combinations. The combo with ricotta, prosciutto, basil with drizzled honey was phenomenal. I will be back for it!

Absolutely delicious! This place has a great vibe, friendly staff, and wildly delicious pizza slices. This place is always packed! They are very popular!

So happy for Jimmy's success and new location. This is THE BEST New York style pizza in the city, with the nicest and hardest working staff.Don't let the random 2 star reviews sway you, this new location is less than a month old and the service complaints will be worked out quickly.

Updated They've moved to a different location on Montrose, with a much larger dining room, as well as larger pizza options, but the pizza is still as brilliant as ever!Jimmy's Pizza Cafe is one of the few places in the city of Chicago, where a New Yorker will feel at home. Sure, there are specialty places where you can grab a slice of pizza, but this place just about gets classic New York style pizza just right. The best way to go is the Brooklyn Deal where you can grab two slices and a medium drink for just 8 bucks. You can't go wrong with Jimmy's Pizza Cafe and if you're not in the mood for Pizza, they've also got some killer Beignets!
