good food good price good service. Indoor and outdoor seating. pork sandwich was very good

Had to go for Chicago Deep Dish! It was delicious!! Have not tried thin crust but my initial taste is promising!

Can you say Where's the Meats ? Completely unacceptable charge 30 dollars for 10 inch deep dish and basically sprinkle toppings and by saying sprinkle only a few not enough to fill the whole pizza also cheese was not at all good crust was Thank You Big Jim for reaping me off read more

Don't let a three-star rating scare you away from Big Jim's Pizza! After a long day exploring Amarillo, my wife and I wanted a lighter dinner. She studied the online reviews while I considered the distance, price, wait time and whether we really needed to chase another five-star restaurant. Eventually, I made the command decision: We're going to Big Jim's--end of story! Formerly known as La Bella Pizza, this longtime Amarillo establishment is now owned by Jim and Candy DeWitt and rebranded as Big Jim's. It still has the comfortable feel of a popular neighborhood hangout, with a bar, sports playing on multiple TVs and a relaxed atmosphere. We ordered a 14-inch hand-tossed pepperoni pizza. My wife likes light sauce, while I prefer extra sauce, so our server had the kitchen make it half-and-half. Marital pizza crisis avoided! The pizza was pretty damn good. It wasn't the best pizza I've ever eaten, but as a self-proclaimed pizza snob, I definitely approved. The crust was good, the toppings were tasty, and the pizza was served hot. Best of all, the entire pie was only $9.99 as the evening special. We stopped for a small bite but still left with leftovers. That allowed me to conduct my official cold-pizza test the next morning. It made the cut--barely--but I still enjoyed it for breakfast! Big Jim's proves why star ratings shouldn't be the only factor when choosing a restaurant. If I lived in Amarillo, I could easily see us becoming regulars. I'd happily return--only next time, I'm bringing a bigger appetite! read more

Place was absolutely terrible. Service was nonexistent. Dr.Pepper was served to me and it was clear.. staff was seemed overwhelmed and there was hardly anyone there. Never received my food because they never put in the order.. I just walked out.. won't ever go back. read more

This is our favorite pizza etc spot in Amarillo. Well that's not actually true bc we love 575 and Napolis. Big Jim is a great guy! If you are lucky enough to meet him you will understand. The pizza is always great. The family loves the massive variety of toppings. I'm still trying to figure out why kids don't like anchovies on Pizza! The only problem with the joint is they are so busy. I've taken entire youth teams to Jim's and they accommodates us remarkably. I love the bar. Friendly people and great service. read more

2 of us walked in on a Saturday night, 7:30. There were only a handful of people in there. The bar tender told us to sit anywhere, then came over to wipe our table. We looked at the menu and decided what to drink and eat within 5 minutes. In the meantime, 3 more couples came in and the bartender helped every one of them before us! We just left, service sucked! Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy! read more

Food is good-great service is excellent! Delivery is excellent! Used them in Canyon and Amarillo great service in both. Can say I've never seen one of their employees with their infernal phones in their hands!!! read more

Amazing pizza. Try the deep dish. The best beer selection and whiskey in Amarillo. Great service. Not just a pizzeria. This place is the go-to in Amarillo. read more

Absolutely fantastic pizza!! Won't go anywhere else. Service was great even though there was only one person working 9 tables. They can easily expand this location. read more

Decided to try Big Jim's. What a varied menu. Needed a few minutes to make our choices. The staff is awesome. Very nice! Excited that the menu included Greek Lamb Gyros. The bar side is very inviting. Love the pictures on the wall. Very Chicago/New York old school. We'll be back! read more

Food ok but seemed overpriced for the quality. Spent over $100 but struggled getting waiter's attention. Won't go back

Gawd!! Worst Cr*p 4 Pizza 'Evah'!! If Uhave, ANY, Remote, Idea of Pizza, DO NOT GO HERE! I literally threw out the entire Pizza. Kept the salads, but realky?? How bad can U make Pizza! Buy this & find out!! Sorry, I always post pics w/my reviews. I was so pissed off, I threw it out w/o taking any!! Supreme. Awful. And you're from Chicago? #Joke read more

I live in the neighborhood and used to eat here at least once a week for 5+ years. Sometimes twice a week. It was one of my wife and I's favorite local spots. 2ish years ago they had the name change. That isn't all that changed. I stopped eating here because the pizza was always either cold or raw. I tried making "special requests" and that worked for a bit, but not for long. If just got ignored apparently. I stopped eating at one of my favorite spots in town for approximately 2 years. I tried it again tonight. I wish I wouldn't have. They didn't even cut my pie. I'll cut it, what ever... Who doesn't love chewy uncooked dough??? I requested light sauce and well done, and seriously this pizza is dripping in sauce and raw dough. The top cheese is cooked and even caramelized, but directly under is a warm-ish gooey mess. It's gross. 100% honesty... I am worried this might make me sick. read more

This used to be a really great place. Now 45 minutes for a calzone and I'm STILL WAITING!!! This is totally unexpectablde! It's not even busy. Yet here we are... no food. Hungry, willing to have more drinks... yet NOTHING WORTH STAYING FOR! Ended up leaving after OVER an hour of waiting. NEVER GOT MY FOOD!!! read more

Awesome place, best pizza in Texas, excellent craft beer selection. The owner, Jim, is an outstanding guy and I'll be continuing to support his small business and enjoy his awesome food! read more

Decent bar pie pizza. Orders at the table seemed to come in slow, which is a little odd because the pizza (and calzone) wasn't hot. As NYE goes, it was packed but the place is very small. Wasn't sure at times who worked there and was hesitant to give my cc to some random guy coming by the table so we could pay out. read more

If 2024 were a restaurant it would be Big Jim's. The place needs to decide if it's a bar or a restaurant? It's not big enough for both. If you're going there's nothing blocking the wind from the front door from hitting your table with cold air. Since it's a barstsraunt there's no real wait service. The bartender was nice but there was too many people. The food was tepid quasi low taste and not good. It took 35-40 minutes to get 2 pizzas and some wings. It was kind of warm when it got to us. No drink refills for anyone. On this particular night you had a crowd for the guy singing. His family, a lot of them came, so you had 4 and 5 year olds sitting at the bar with their parents. Very high class. Since there was a crowd they couldn't wait to get us up off our table and out. One lady who appeared in the place l, with 2 cans of alcohol, all of a sudden became in charge. Helping others order alcohol. Very odd. There was a lot of family there to see this guy. But I don't think 4 year olds belong at the bar. Probably be out of business in 6 months. read more

I love this pizza! It's always on point and great deals not to mention they have a lot more than just pizza!

My friend who is from the area highly recommended this place and I was excited to try as I rolled through town. I ordered a pizza and some Mac n Cheese bites with a few sides. Overall, everything was good. The Mac n Cheese bites were really good. Great flavor, nice crisp to them. Very good. They come with ranch or cheese sauce, but I enjoyed mine with some marinara. The pizza was ok. I added ricotta, however it was dry and clumpy but was I expecting soft and whipped with a hint of sweet. The sauce was pretty good and had a good almost smokey flavor. The service was prompt and everyone was polite. I tried several times to order on their website and kept receiving an error that I had not fulfilled a requirement for an item and it didn't give any indication how to fix the issue. I had to end up calling and I believe there was some miscommunication over the phone or because possibly it was loud because my pizza was not made properly. Overall though, I enjoyed my pizza and this restaurant and would try it again and recommend it if you're in the mood for local pizza. read more

Stopped in Amarillo at a hotel. This was the only place delivering food. It took 3.5 hours to get our order. But they stayed open and delivered in the worse conditions Amarillo has probably seen with snow. I was driving a 26' U-haul with a trailer and couldn't get around town. read more

Gave it 2 stars because the mozzarella sticks were good. Not sure what's up with cold marinara though. Deep dish is a hard NO! Husband is from Chicago and we eat Giordano's regularly, either at the restaurant or have it shipped. Please do not think what this place is passing for deep dish even comes close. The crust is chewy bread, not crunchy pastry crust. The crust is thicker than the skimpy layer of mozzarella. The mozzarella is the whole point of this pie. And if you want huge chunks of tomato on your pie go for it. read more

We tried Big Jim's as being from Chicago we just haven't found a really great Pizza here in Amarillo. We found a gem in Big Jim's. We've been there twice - the first time we tried a small hand tossed pepperoni and sausage and my wife had a Canadian bacon, tomato, green olive. VERY good. Our second visit we had a deep dish - ( need to call ahead as the deep dish takes and hour to make) and it was excellent! Reminded us of a Chicago pie at Giordano's a lot! Service is just o.k. or average - they have one person covering the restaurant side AND the Bar side so they are spread pretty thin so be patient!!! We've found a new favorite pizza place in Amarillo!!! The only caveat - is the place is small and not much seating - if more people discover this place they may need to move to a bigger location!! read more

My advice is skip this place. It hasn't been good since the name change. I've lived in the neighborhood for years and ordered here for years. When eating at the restaurant it has been phenomenal, but for the last two years I stopped wanting to order from here however my wife loves it. But our order is always messed up. But now I'm done. I've stared ordering our pizza "well done" as the pizza seems always undercooked. And not only that, but when ordering online I have to leave a message in the notes to repeat my order. It's successful 50% of the time. Tonight I got a pizza raw inside. I paid for double cheese, didn't get it. When this place is made right, it is the best in town. When it is bad, it's nearly inedible. It hasn't been good since the name change, unfortunately. read more

Great pizza, cold beer, good selection of other foods. The bar atmosphere is always comfortable and friendly.

Excellent food. The best pizza I've had in years! The service was also excellent. Quick service and a great atmosphere to sit and enjoy your food. They also will deliver to the truck stops, so that's a huge plus! read more

We picked up a pizza while staying overnight in Amarillo. It was very mediocre... mushrooms were canned or jarred

Great pizza definitely recommend!! New to the town of Amarillo and was on of the first pizza places I tried and would definitely stress people towards this pizza restaurant read more

Saved the day with a late night Friday delivery. They had tons and tons of options, but it was our first time so went went easy with a large tossed salad and a pepperoni pizza. Salad was fresh and amazing with homemade ranch!! Pizza was wonder, sauce and pepperonis amazing. I would for SURE pick La Bella Pizza over a chain pizza place ANY day read more

We were at the local campground and delivery was fast for a weekend. Food was fresh, hot and exactly as promised! Big Jim's is the new name and we LOVED IT. read more

We ordered a build you own pizza. It was delicious and hot. We had it delivered as we were staying at the Big Texan RV Ranch. Delivery driver easily found out camp site. Will order again. Shout out to Michele her customer service was 5 STAR. She's a keeper read more

Host was very accommodating supplied plates napkins for large order takeout. And a free drink while I waited

Friday the 13th we order dinner for 3 ppl and the cost of it was not worth the amount we got. We asked for a Pacific delivery driver and got someone else .... between me and my brother we sent $83.00 WOW..... for 3 subs a family fries and Mac and cheese bites ...... we will think twice about ordering again Well candy D .... your customer service is not great by your response to my comment tells a lot. In a customer service job the customer is always right why because what we buy helps pay you. Another thing waiting a month to even try and help your customer is horrible. I work in customer service for over 30 years. And just to brush me off and tell me I'm wrong isn't again BAD customer service.... that's ok tho word of mouth is not good for business if it's negative read more

Wasted my time trying to order online only to find out that they don't deliver to my area in a centralized location in Amarillo. Get your OLSEN LOCATION ONLINE! Get your act together and you may be able to earn people's business back. As of now I will not be ordering from you again. read more

Terrible pizza. Hand tossed as advertised? Yeah, maybe it was hand tossed in some factory somewhere, maybe New Jersey? When I ordered I was informed that it would be about 1 hour 45 minutes. I took this as a good sign that they were super busy because it was so good. I was wrong. I have had better frozen pizzas. read more

First off, thank you for being open til midnight. Had a 12 and a half hour drive, pulled into Amarillo, and desperately needed a good late dinner. This was perfect. My wife had the lamb gyro, I had a pepperoni and mushroom calzone. We just sat quietly there, making occasional appreciative sounds. She loved the gyro. We even briefly talked about making Amarillo a destination next time because of how good her gyro was. Meanwhile, my calzone had amazing mushrooms and pepperoni that was somehow topped by the incredible crust. Perfect chew, nice flavor. I definitely savored the last, topping-less bite. In short? Definitely recommend. read more
