Big Jimmy’s $5 Large Pizza

The only reason I’m giving them a 5 star is because the first driver did not want to help us at all. We tried to reason with him… he could not be reasoned with. We did not have our ID for the original order. I have the same last name as him and he said they don’t care… they will take it out of my check??? VERY RUDE! We called back and the gentleman MATT was very helpful !!! He got us a pizza here very quick with a very respectable driver who knew what she was doing. Thank you guys for making it right for us out of Towner’s. After all the problems and confusion… they made it right for us. Thank you.

There is a reason the large pizza is only five dollars. Lacking in seasoning, covered in grease, with crust that tastes of cardboard… you get what you pay for. The only remotely redeeming thing was the bread sticks and even those were disappointing to say the least.

I ordered the Big Jimmy special with pineapp
le instead of mushrooms and garlic butter crust. It was the best cheap pizza I’ve ever had. They weren’t skimpy on the toppings and it reheats well in a toaster oven. I will order from them again! I do want to try their other items. The delivery guy said Big Jimmy no longer owns the joint, but I give high praises to the new owner. Thank you!

Definitely better than little ceasers. AND free seasoned crust?! Big thumbs up. The garlic parm crust has a lot of flavaaaa

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, easy 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, but will probably pass on the rest from now on.

It was 2 am, we were drunk/​hungry, and happen to need dairy-​free options. I called approximately 10 late-​night pizza places, and this is the only one without dairy in the crust or sauce! Yay!
We got a large cheese-​less pizza with 3 toppings (double olives and jalapenos) for $ 8. Not a bad deal at all. It was ready in less than 15 minutes. The toppings were scanty at best, which is always disappointing; however, we were ravenous, so only a few complaints were exchanged before digging in.
It’s not the best dairy-​free pizza I’ve had, but it’s not designed to be, so I can’t make a legitimate complaint about that. I’d eat this pizza again.

My turkey club was pretty bland and dry, not to mention it had one small slice of tomato for the entire huge sandwhich. The $ 5 cheese pizza was equally as bland and dry. Not the worst, but I won’t be rushing back.

Previously ordered about 9 months ago and had an awful experience. Figured I’d give it another shot. I know some of the sketchy late night pizza joints can be pretty good so I opted for a pepperoni. Showed up an hour plus later, cold, and completely undercooked. We basically ate raw dough, sauce and pepperoni’s. Don’t be fooled, this place is horrendous. Go anywhere else, thank me later

a large pizza is $ 5 here, and it was delicious for that price, but of course I’ve had better tasting pizza that cost way more than that. I’m rating the delivery service; I placed an order via Unilocal and it came only 5 – 10 min past the expected delivery time. I had already pre-​paid and tipped though Unilocal.The delivery guy came DIRECTLY to my door; I live in a condo complex and no other delivery person has done this while I’ve lived here so for that alone, 5 stars from me. Food was hot, yummy, cheap and fast. I would definitely recommend for late night deliveries in Tempe.

This place is well worth the chance you are taking. Got a few $ 5 pizzas for the office. Pizza showed up hot and fresh. They even went out of their normal delivery radius for us. Great customer service and a great pizza. We will be back.
Long time review. Just update my app so I can post from iphone.

I just order online for delivery. she said 45min –1 hour. I order 9.53 the pizza came at 9.58. Just 5 min. That’s find but when I open the box. Pizza is very cold. My husband ate some pice and I have some bite that is very dry. I try to eat because I never return the food all in my life before, but I can’t eat that all even put some sauce on. I’m very hungry, but I have to return. It’s over cook. They never check food before delivery I think. They told us we should order somewhere else when we call back to tell them about problem. Then why don’t you put the big side on your store. «Somewhere else better Pizza»

Pizza was little caesars quality, service was very disappointing. We just ordered ordered one large cheese and one large supreme pizza. We received one large pepperoni and one large supreme. When I asked to have another one delivered due to religious restrictions, the man on the phone replied «I can’t understand a word you’re saying…» And hung up on me. Sorry you messed up my order and caused us the inconvenience but you didn’t have to b rude about it. A simple apology and a cheese pizza would suffice.

This place used to be the best value pizza I knew. I first tried it three years ago on a monthly basis. A year ago something changed about the food, & the service was awful. I didn’t go back until today. It was completely horrendous, like it wasn’t even the same place.
I ordered to go, one pepperoni, one cheese bread, and one pepperoni & sausage. (Pies were still cooking when I got there, so I know it was fresh).
I live in Tempe, about ten minutes from the store. I got home, got the pizzas out to see that the boxes were DRENCHED with grease. Opened up the box to grab a slice, the pizzas aren’t even cut properly.
I begin to eat it and the crust is dry, tough, flavorless, and seems to be overcooked.
Toppings and cheese were measly (even the two topping that I paid way more for)
Death to a once great pizza shop.
Never coming back again.

Order from here all the time, good pizza for the price. Only complaint i have is once in awhile the cheese bread would be undercooked and would have to finish it in my oven but other than that it’s all good.

This was the first time I’ve ever ordered from this place and I’m wishing I had just ordered from somewhere else. My order was only an oven baked Sandwich and a 2-​liter of Sierra Mist. About ten minutes later after I placed my order, I get a phone call saying they’re out of Sierra Mist, which is no biggie. Then I was told my order would be about 30 – 40 minutes which I was fine with. My order doesn’t get delivered to me after more than an hour and the delivery driver even asked for a tip. I still tipped the guy (mostly because I’m also in the service industry) and was just relieved I finally got something to eat. As soon as I pull my sandwich out, it’s almost no longer warm. I should have just ordered from Dominos that way I could have at least gotten a sandwich that has its cheese still melted. Never ordering from here again.

Didn’t like the messy crust, and the horrible smell! Never again

The three stars is more about the price than anything else. For $ 5 you shouldn’t expect much. Their large is pretty much a medium anywhere else. If you’ve had a Little Caesar’s hot and ready, you’ve had this pizza. It looks and tastes the same. If you’re down for a cheap/​quick pizza, this is your place. If you’re expecting good pizza, you should probably go somewhere else. The people working the place seemed nice.

Great news: we found out that the «cheese price increase» from a few months ago seems to have been a real thing. They’ve remedied this and the pizza is back to $ 5 again.
An update since last time: the cinnamon sticks are really good. Surprisingly good. And the staff are friendly and generous with handing out a second tub of frosting.
We’ve never had a bad experience here, and have had several great experiences with the co-​owner.
Thanks, guys!

Rude as hell!!! Im sorry but no matter what time of day im calling for a pizza i deserve the same customer service that everyone else gets. So rude. i decided not to place an order in fear that they would probably do something foul to my pizza.
You all messed up treating me like crap… lost a lot of business. Straight disappointment. Had to physically call to even find out about their menu since their website didnt even provide «menu» information.
Horrible…just horrible experience. .i could go on. but im done with this establishment #byefelicia

Good food. We don’t actually live in Tempe but will drive here for late night pizza. Medium-​sizeish pizza with five toppings for 10 $ is a good price to me. Chewy crust and good thickness overall. Ham was one of our toppings and normally I don’t like ham, but this is a thick cut and smoky ham… So now I always get ham here.
It’s best warm and doesn’t taste great reheated. We found that out trying to take it home. (But maybe that’s true for all pizzas!)
The wings are great, too. Crispy slightly and meaty. We got hot BBQ and it was tasty but definitely wasn’t hot at all. I think the wings could be cheaper, though.
