Jimmy's pizzeria is my favorite pizza place in the city, but you wouldn't be able to tell that just by
looking at the outside. It is an inconspicuous brown brick building. It doesn't even have a sign, just t
name of the establishment in three-inch letters on the storefront window. The inside isn't much to spe
of either. There are some chrome swivel stools along a laminate countertop that makes an L shape,
separating the register and kitchen area from the dining area. Booth seating lines the eating area of the
restaurant area and a few favorable reviews from local publications are framed and displayed on the
walls. Yeah, the aesthetics of the place are a little underwhelming, but forget the scenery. I go to
Jimmy's for the pizza.
