Jimmy Z's has been a staple of the Canonsburg and Houston community as long as I can remember! Not only is the OG Jimmy Z himself an incredible person, but over the years I have known several employees that have said he's great to work for. Also, the prices are fantastic for the portion size and quality of the food. Jimmy Z's hallmark square pizza is delicious, but my favorite menu item is their Stromboli! Their famous "zoagies" are also out of this world. You can't go wrong with a classic Italian! 10/10 would recommend stopping at Jimmy Z's if you're in the area and want a taste of some classic Southwestern PA comfort food! Also, If you'd like a beer with your pizza head over to Helltown across the street. It's a great combo. read more

A few people told me to try this place out and I finally stopped in. Small hometown vibes which were pretty cool. I ordered ahead and it was ready very quickly. I ordered 6 square slices and some of the cheese bread (bread sticks stuffed with cheese). The pizza wasn't bad. Better than I thought it would be. The ingredients tasted very good. The stuffed bread sticks weren't very good. They kind of taste frozen with a weird taste to the cheese. Better experience than I expected so if I'm in a pinch for some quick square slices maybe I'll stop again read more

Jimmy Z's Pizza - Cheese slices Extra cheese slice Pepperoni slice Medium pepper slice Onion slice Green pepper slice - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Pennsylvania

Love this place but keep getting slices that they should NOT have served, if a piece is so thin that you can't pick it up or it's honestly mush. 4/10 pieces tonight we tried to recook, but were mush. I'd never expect a customer to pay for even one piece you know should never go into their box. 3rd time in a row, I'd post a photo if this allowed. After tip it's $25 for 6 we were able to eat. read more

Had heard some good things about this place so I stopped and grabbed a 6-cut pepperoni while I was in the area. Unfortunately, I didn't care for it at all. The sauce was very tart and i could only eat 2 slices before throwing the rest away, To each their own, and this one just wasn't for me, read more

Great service and even better was their pizza! This is what I remember from my childhood. Their recipe is original from an Italian man named Sam. It is phenomenal pizza. Juicy and good amount of toppings. They don't skimp. Can't wait to get again. I was running late for pick up. He even waited for me to get there to put it in the oven so it would be warm. Epic pizza! read more

We love Jimmy Z's! It's about 5 mins from our home so we get it pretty often and it never disappoints! It's classic and basic Ohio valley pizza: square cuts, sweet sauce, and chewy crust. You gotta order the cold cheese! read more

Minimal ham and pepperoni in stromboli, charges extra for dipping marinara, needed something to give it some flavor, pizza crust soggy, sauce bitter, doesn't reheat well, expensive when you consider the quality of the product read more

We have been coming here since 2003. Great small business that is one of the pillars of the community. The business donates monetarily to local youth sports teams. Food wise everything here is excellent. Prices are reasonable. The establishment has a handful of tables to sit and eat. I highly recommend this small business. read more

Jimmy Z's Pizza - Stromboli with sauce in the side. Excellent, highly recommend it. - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Pennsylvania

Yum, yum, and more yum! We ordered takeout, and wow was it good! The pizza is great. It's a perfect mix of crunch, with a super unique (almost sweet) marinara sauce. Slices are served in squares! My fiancé had an Italian hoagie, it was ginormous! Not only a huge sandwich, but very good. The bread was soft, and fresh. All of the toppings were perfect as well! I ordered a house salad which was giant! One thing, I would order extra dressing next time (only one packet provided) Can't wait to come back! read more

Good food. Friendly service. Fair prices. Not a place to go for the scenery, but it's a typical take out pizza shop.

It seems pointless to parrot all of the other glowing reviews here, but I'm left with little other choice. I'm a fan of pizza, but it's not my go-to food by a long shot. However, I've had pizza from the majority of places that have or have had a footprint in the area in my forty-plus years. One of my all-time favorites was Pizza with a German Twist next to Washington high school. I know some people love Osso's, Sam's, and Hill House... That's all good. To each their own. Ignoring all of the chain places, and usually for good reason, there's no shortage of quality pizza joints in Washington county. Stacked against the rest that are currently still in business, Jimmy Z's is surely at the top of anyone's list. Anecdotally speaking, I have a friend returning to the area for the Independence Day celebrations. The one thing he wanted to do above all else was eat at Jimmy Z's. Take from that what you will. Try it, I'm sure you'll like it. Besides, it's like they say when comparing pizza to coitus.... read more

I love this place, pizza is great. The crust is always crispy which is more than I can say about other square style pizzas in the area. I have always sworn by their Strombolis as well but this time it was 90% cheese which was disappointing. I hope it was only a fluke and not how they're making them now. read more

Jimmy Z's Pizza - Stromboli - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Pennsylvania

Jimmy Z's makes some of the best square pizza in town. The crust is always cooked just right, and I would know because I am a pizza snob! I also recently discovered that they now make my favorite Italian hoagie in town as well. I wish I had a picture to show how yummy they are! You can also buy pizza by the slice, which is dangerous for someone like myself that may be passing through for "just a slice". You can never just have one slice at Jimmy Z's. read more

Pizza was real good and crispy, liked the small homey sit down area. I will stop in for a slice or 2 anytime in the area.

Worse pizza I have have ever ordered!!! Ordered 12 pieces and they tried to put it all in one box. One row of pizza was put on top of another row causing the slices to get stuck on top of each other. I tried to pull them apart and all the cheese and pepperoni got stuck to the pizza on top and made the dough so soggy that it fell apart in pieces. So I had a bunch off soggy, smashed pizza chunks. A couple of slices were not smashed but had almost no cheese on them. So the few slices that were not smashed were just sauce with pepperoni on top. Sounds so amazing, right? Ummm not amazing at all. I sent an email to them on their website under contact us tab and they never called, email, or tried to contact me. I have pictures of the worst pizza I have had. read more

I LOVE this place! The pizza is always delicious and the staff is awesome. They are always on time and super friendly. It's probably my favorite pizza in the area and my go-to on weekends when I want some cheesy deliciousness. read more

I've been told that when it comes to pizza there are two camps in the Washington County area: Osso's and Jimmy Z's. Having already tried Osso's I felt compelled to give Jimmy's a try and see which one I like better. The service was fast and friendly and there's definitely more seating room inside at Jimmy's. But I suppose most people do take out, and Osso's has more parking. The pizza itself, in my opinion is a tad bit better than Osso's. They both have a very good crust that holds up well to the sauce and cheese but I think it's the sauce that put Jimmy's over the top for me. It had a bit more zest to it. It also doesn't hurt that Jimmy's will put three slices of pepperoni on a square where as Osso's only does one. I'm not bashing Osso's at all here. They produce a good product for a great price which is evident by thier customer base. But for me, I think I fall into the Jimmy Z camp when it comes to inexpensive square pizza slices in Washington County. read more

Dear Jimmy Z, I love you. The end. I have been searching high and low for a pizza place like this in my (new) hometown of Vegas, and have yet to find anything comparable. Jimmy Z's pizza is so good- the dough has just the right amount of chewiness and crispiness I love, they don't drown the pie in cheese, and each slice has just the right amount of "I need a napkin to clean up the sauce on my fingers"-ness to it. Oh and did I mention it's cheap? Well it is. Just a heads-up, this is "square" pizza. Typically a thicker crust than a regular pizza and you will see a lot of sauce peeking out from the cheese. Are you familiar with Sam's pizza just a few miles down the road? Then you will know what I am talking about. The middle pieces don't come with any crust, so expect to get a little messy. We only had plain cheese pizza, so I can't speak for the toppings. Personally, when it comes to this kind of pizza I prefer mine topping-free. But that's just me. I was so excited to have this old-school-east-coast pizza on my recent trip back home that I stopped here twice. Why is it so hard to find a place like this on the west coast? Is it really the water? Does the humidity help with the dough? Do all the good pizza makers keep themselves back east? The world may never know. read more

Fantastic philly steak Zoagie! Great amount of meat and a huge sub overall if you get the large! Reheated half for lunch the second day and it was still awesome. I opted out of the Italian dressing, lettuce and tomato and put my own on at home for freshness since I was getting take out and knew I wouldn't eat it all. Will order again! Delicious ! read more

Been going here for years and never a disappointment!! Zoagies are HUGE! Get the extra cheese on the side, you won't be upset! Best square pizza in Washington county! read more

We ordered a pepperoni pizza on 12/11. First they had no delivery. That's ok, we'll pick it up. We were told it would be ready in 25 minutes. Forty-five minutes later we're still waiting. Finally my nephew comes out and we head home. A block away he tells me to turn around, the order is wrong...no pepperoni. He's so angry about the wait, he just wants a refund. Their solution is to put cold pepperoni on the pizza and us on our way, without heating it over. When my nephew complained, they said that's how they make their pepperoni pizza. I've never heard of putting the pepperoni on after you bake the pie. They refused a refund & my nephew refused the pizza. He was so angry, he left. No pizza, no refund! read more

Excellent Italian hogtie and great pizza although I wish the pizza had more cheese, some of the slices only had a couple of strands on them. Everything was ready in about 10 minutes and probably one of the best in the area. I highly recommend trying! read more

Ordered the steak salad. Should be the brown lettuce salad. Cost $10.69, for a lot of old brown lettuce, a few pieces of very old tough steak and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese, a sprinkle of sliced black olives, and some banana pepper. Not worth the cost. Go elsewhere if you want a good steak salad! read more

Had lunch there today got three slices with pepperoni very good pizza crispy crust as well as good hospitality

Very good square slice... when in the mood for a grandma style pizza. Jimmy Z's is the spot

Love this pizza! Homemade and the cheese is so tasty! I'm so glad we live close! Convenient parking and right off route 79.

I'm not a huge fan of square cut however my wife loves it ! It was a good Square cut pizza and very reasonable on price. Crust and sauce were good. I did like the cheese and pepperoni as well! Great spot to grab a bite to eat in or to pickup. Your going to want to park in the rear of the building anyways we would stop back if we were in the area read more

By far the worst pizza I've ever eaten in my life!! I've had gas station and frozen pizza that was better !! It was nasty the cheese didn't even taste like cheese what was it?? The sauce tasted like cardboard. This was the second time there and the last . read more

I ordered a whole steak hoagie to go. It was very good. The price is fair for the value and quality of the food. The dining area was clean and the restaurant wasn't busy. I went at 6pm in a Sunday. Would definitely go back again! read more

Up date review. Jimmy Z's still the BEST square cut pizza in the area. Well blend of sauce, cheese, and that little extra touch of adding 3 slices of pepperoni to each cut makes Jimmy Z's the BEST!!!Sam would definitely be proud of you for keeping his tradition alive!!! read more

This is for the Bethel Park store. Worst pizza ever. Ordered at the store. Said come back in ten minutes. We came back and picked up the pizza. Not even hot. It was like an old pizza they tried to warm. Paid $18. What a waste. read more

Loved the crunchy crust, but wish the sauce had a bit more flavor. Love the order by the slice, which is always convenient. Overall, it's a friendly local joint that is a must try for square pizza lovers. read more

Jimmy Z's Pizza - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Pennsylvania

Perfectly cooked pizza, crust is the right amount of crispy and the sauce is excellent. One of our favorite stops on the way through Houston. read more

The crust is like a cracker. ..a little too crisp. The sauce is flavorless and cheap it has no spices in it that can be tasted. The pepperoni is ok and the mushrooms were slimy and gross out of a can. The onion topping was gross. This pizza is good if you are a yokel from the area that doesn't get out much or hasn't tried any real food outside the area. read more

OH MY GOODNESS! YES! Yes it is such a delight to have Jimmy Z's Pizza. Pepperoni and anchovy for me. It's always crispy but I wouldn't say it's thin pizza. I'd say it's definitely one of the BEST pizza's in the world. Also, Best Italian Subs EVER! Miss seeing you, SAM! Thanks Jimmy Z's for keeping the tradition alive! read more

This pizza here is very good! Thin enough crust for it to be crunchy, but thick enough to be slightly doughy. While entire pizzas can be ordered, most do it by the slice. I had anchovies on two slices and sausage and olives on two more. Jimmy Z's is different because the toppings are not baked on; they are sprinkled on afterward and are only slightly heated. Very different, but very good! I think the pricing is good too - $.95 per slice. So why only three stars out of five? We watched the guy making our pizzas behind the counter. He blew his nose and coughed, and didn't wash his hands. He then continued making our food, still without washing his hands. BLEW HIS NOSE. To me, that is a really big deal! So disgusting! read more

The best square pizza you can buy! Always fresh, semi sweet sauce, crispy dough, a home run. Great employees and fast convenient service.

If anyone is looking for a thin crust square pizza you have to come here. Sauce is nice and tangy not sweet. Toppings- traditional hometown pizza shop. But always done right read more

Used to be one of my favorite places for pizza. However, bought pizza, brought it h ome and it was burned. Next time I ordered, I informed them and specifically requested that the pizza not be over cooked. Again brought it home an the crust was so over cooked, it was nearly inedible. I'm done with Jimmy Z's. read more
