    pepperoni pizza
    Amira J.

    it really gets me hype when the simplest dishes are cooked to perfection--like this pizza was so simplistically good. you could taste the freshness of the ingredients and the authenticity of the crust and sauce. i was glad i spent my Saturday appreciating this pizza. i would definitely recommend this place for those that want to experience something more than just a fast food pizza. ALSO: random but, their chocolate chip cookies???????? 2 die 4

    MJG Pizza
    Mia M.

    Let me tell y'all about BASILS. This was definitely one of my top 5 Jackson Places to eat! It's located right next to Roosters. The quality of the pizza there was just what I needed the day I came. It's a little bit pricy but not too expensive and it's definitely worth every dollar. You end up getting a lot for what you paid for. I had the MJG pizza and let me tell you eating it was worth every dollar. The cheese and sauce blend was nice and there was definitely enough pizza for me to have some for dinner later on too. The Caesar salad was nice and full too (as you can see). They also give you a piece of bread with this AMAZING sauce to accompany it (which I used it with my pizza too and it was heavenly). Another highlight that I must mention were the COOKIES. They were an impulsive buy but easily one of the best impulsive buys I ever made haha. The cookies were moist and I think made from scratch. Basically everything that touched my mouth that came from here was good haha. I would definitely 10/10 recommend.

    Panini (Veggie)
    Tammy F.

    I ordered the veggie panini and paid extra to add roasted red bell peppers. There is 1/8th on one on my panini. I've been gone 3years and couldn't wait to eat here again. Quality today was not good. Super disappointed..

    Best. Pizza. In. This. Ciiiiity. Yooooooooo !!!! This place is such a hit ! Came here as a last minute choice on a Monday evening when I saw Sal & Mookies was closed. The guy who was working the counter/phone today (4/16/18) had the best customer service and was super polite. My pizza was so delicious. I saw the yelp hours saying they closed at 2:30 but I decided to call them anyways -- THEY WERE OPEN !!!! Yaaaaassss !!! The pizza was perfect sized and very satisfying. They have many different options to pick from as well. Will definitely be coming back here to dine the next time I am in the city and looking for a satisfying meal.

    Premium Pepperoni Pizza
    Sharon S.

    Basil's has never disappointed! The food is made with fresh ingredients and made-to-order! I have my favorites, so I haven't had the opportunity to "stray" and try new things. The #3 (Turkey Mozzarella) is ADDICTIVE...this panini is heaven sent, Chile!!!!! I typically pair it I'm with the side salad - the feta cheese and green olives gives this salad a kick that makes it a step above your typical side salad! The stuffed eggs are okay. I tend to buy them because I love stuffed eggs, but I'm not "head over heels" about these. Also, the "premium pepperoni pizza" is delicious. I tried it when they first added it to the menu and I've intended to get it again, but the #3 just hasn't let me yet. Lol

    State street pizza
    Sara C.

    Great pizza! I'm the type that likes my pizza slices cut weird so this definitely caters to that. They have a big variety of different types of pizza. I believe I had the State Street and my sister ordered the Rocky which is like a Philly cheesesteak. And get this... they come with ranch. :-)

    It is what pizza should taste like. Generous toppings and lovely pizza every time I order. The crew is Awesome
    Mitch C. D.

    Love the crew!!! You will not regret ordering pizza. It is what pizza should taste like. Generous toppings and lovely pizza every time I order. They open M-S until 8:00pm

    Came upon this restaurant while visiting family in a nearby hospital. I've had pizza from here, two days in a row! Some of the very best pizza, I've ever had!! Super-friendly staff !!! AAAAA+

    For Jackson, very pleasant place with good pizza. The State Street is a 12" pepperoni, bacon and sausage combo in tomato sauce. It does leave behind a greasy box, but if that worries you, you shouldn't eat pizza! The crust is hand made and fresh, the ingredients real and baked just right. I love the lettuce combo of the salad, packed full other ingredients. The focaccia was a disappointment, cold and tasteless, don't recommend it. Order at the counter, get a number to put to put on your table outside or in the common area of the building. Love the Fondren area!

    Try the bang bang chicken salad (romaine, chicken, peanuts) but get the comeback dressing with it! Save room for a peanut butter cookie

    This is the spot when you want a special lunch, the panini selection is good, and the breads amazing. I recommend the #8.

    Amazing pizza. It is legit so good. I admit since I don't live super close that sometimes I have to…read moreorder from other places but any chance I get I try to grab Poppie's. There are other local places that just can't come close to this pizza. And even places I once swore by, have fallen by the wayside. This is always consistent. The dough, the sauce, the cheese and toppings are all on point. I wish much success and hope they don't ever compromise like others have since it is top notch. I'd love to see a Madison or Ridgeland location someday

    Poppy Pies in Fondren is one of those places that reminds you why simple food done right is…read moreeverything. The Detroit style pizza is the star here. That thick, golden crust has the perfect balance of crisp edges and soft, airy chew in the middle. You can tell it is baked with intention. The cheese caramelizes along the sides, the sauce is bright without being overpowering, and every bite feels indulgent without tipping into heavy. It is hearty, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. Then there is the cheese bread, which deserves its own applause. Warm, gooey, and unapologetically cheesy, it hits that ideal sweet spot between pillowy dough and rich melted cheese. It is the kind of thing you plan to take home leftovers of and then mysteriously finish in the car. What really seals the deal, though, is the customer service. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy you are there. Orders come out with care, questions are answered with enthusiasm, and the whole experience feels relaxed and neighborly. You never feel rushed, just well taken care of. Poppy Pies fits Fondren perfectly. It is cozy, confident, and clearly made with love. Whether you are there for a full pizza night with the family or just grabbing cheese bread to treat yourself, it is absolutely worth the stop and very easy to crave again.

    We only came here for ice cream but this is also a pizza place…read more There were plenty of ice cream options and you can make your own. They make milkshakes as well. Service was good. They explained the options and every single flavor we tried was really good. Coffee flavor was very authentic and not so sweet. The place is big, they have booths and also a bar area.

    Decided to try a new spot in Jackson and landed here. Before we even got into the door, we were…read moregreeted warmly by the hostess and another staff member who held the door for my mom. Nice! We were seated quickly, as it was not super busy on a Saturday afternoon. Our server came quickly and took our drink orders and filled them quickly. She even handled our change of mind without a pause. Nice! Appetizer of Fried ravioli with Parmesan cheese sprinkled was nice and crunchy. Served with marinara sauce. Mom got the Chicken Parmigiana, layered over fettuccini. The portion was huge and quite crunchy, without being overcooked. The chicken was still tender and not dry but the flavor was just meh. It also was lacking in marinara sauce for the noodles. The star of the show was the 4 Train Remix pizza! It comes with Grade mozerella, grilled chicken, smoked gouda, pickled onions, roasted corn, chipotle bbq sauce and cilantro. I opted to add brisket to the 14" pie. Have mercy! The flavor!! The toppings worked so well together and the brisket just added another level of complexity. I would have preferred a slightly thicker crust since the oils tend to sog our the crust. It was a little messy to hold but that just added to the fun. We also tried the Nada Colada mocktail with Torani coconut, pineapple juice and ginger ale and it was really good.
