Jimmy's Pizza Cafe

"If you’re a transplanted New Yorker searching for big pieces of pizza you can fold, this is where you’ll find them. Jimmy’s serves huge, perfectly greasy slices on little paper plates. Come for the basics, like a plain cheese pizza with red sauce and a garlicky white one topped with blobs of ricotta." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor

"Chicagoans can appreciate good pizza, even if it’s New York-style. Jimmy’s features excellent crispy and chewy slices that beg to be folded and scarfed down. Call it the Great Unifier. Jimmy’s moved to a larger location in early 2022 and expanded its dine-in seating capacity. Online ordering is available here." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"If you’re a New Yorker missing your big, foldable slices of pizza, Jimmy’s is the solution. The Lincoln Square restaurant is a primarily by-the-slice operation serving classic New York-style pizza, but they deliver their full-size pies, too. They have all the basic options, like a plain cheese pie with red sauce and a garlicky white pizza topped with blobs of ricotta, plus daily pizza specials. If you’re a Chicagoan who’s curious about “classic” NYC pies, it’s best to try this in the privacy of your home, where no one else will see you. Order some garlic knots, too, while you’re at it—they’re really good." - adrian kane

"If you’re searching for a New York-style pizza place, this is it. Jimmy’s serves huge, perfectly greasy slices on little paper plates. Come for the basics, like a plain cheese with red sauce and a garlicky white pizza topped with blobs of ricotta. If you really like it, you can order a full-sized pie to go. But when you’re done, go eat some deep dish. Please." - josh barnett, sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor

"Once confined to a small space along Lincoln, Jimmy’s Pizza Cafe has moved to larger digs where customers can enjoy New York slices or whole pies comfortably with a glass of beer. Jimmy Kang is devoted to the experience, giving Chicagoans a wide selection of slices in the traditional display case." - Eater Staff
