I called at 4:05pm on a Saturday 5 minutes after they opened. Busy. My buddy told me they're good. We both called on separate phones for around 20 call attempts before I got through. We ordered a 12" pepperoni, mushroom and cheese pizza. Advised cash only. Told pick-up at 5pm. Sounds good. We arrived a few minutes early and the parking lot was packed! This is a pick-up only restaurant. My buddy went inside to pay and came back out stating it would be a few more minutes. He waited inside. Around 5pm he came out with our pizza. The pizza wasn't in a box. It was on a cardboard circle put in a paper type bag with another paper type bag over that bag. As for the taste? Up there with one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Price: $17.50. read more

See all

Jim's is a great place to get your fresh made pizza. Made the same way for over 40 years. A take out pizza only. Call early the phone lines start early and they book up fast. read more

My family got the extra cheese and the loaded pizza. Both were delicious. The loaded pizza is definitely loaded. Staff was super friendly and even helped me carry the pizzas out. read more

Great pizza made the way you want them! Will always double bag them so they get home good and hot!

Family owned and operated. Hometown favorite. Hometown staple. Grew up eating this pizza weekly! So popular you'll have a long wait time so order early!! Pick up only. Offers frozen options too. read more

Jim's is literally the best pizza there is. People seriously line up at the door before they even open. It can be difficult to get one before they sell out but it's WORTH THE WAIT! Their ingredients are all fresh. The sauce is unique and homemade. Like everything is just high quality and delicious. They even have frozen pizzas and I swear they are just as good as the fresh ones. It shocks me every time. You MUST try Jim's! This isn't your average pizza and I guarantee you will taste the difference. read more

Weekly Pizza spot for us!!! Amazing. Owners are great and always there. Keep it up! Some secret menu items to consider - crispers for a crispy crust and Walk-In sauce! read more

The crazy hold time is WORTH it!! The pizzas are amazing and this little joint defines Kendallville. If you can't handle the wait, they do offer frozen pizzas that you can cook at home that are just as good! read more

We came down to Kendallville with 18 golfers for a golf trip and were looking for pizza while we watched college football on TV. We checked the ratings on Yelp and wanted something different than the chains, Pizza Hut and Hungry Howies. We were very impressed. The toppings were great, especially the spicy pepperoni. We ordered two loaded XLs and two Pepperoni Mushroom and green pepper and one XL sausage and onion. Everybody loved them. But what is even more impressive is the warmth and cordiality of the staff. They gave us paper plates. We asked if they made salads and were told "We only make pizza." But, they told us another pizzeria that made salads and gave us the phone number to order and directions on how to get there. The owner even helped carry out our pizzas to our vehicle. We didn't finish all five pizzas so we offered our leftovers to another golf group at our hotel. When I walked in with the pizza, the paper sleeve for the pizza was visible and the guys responded, "Is that Jim's Pizza? Oh yeah!" We know we will go back to Jim's next year. read more

I love supporting local restaurants, and this one is a pure gem to the Kendallville area! Family owned and loaded with fresh toppings! If you love thin crust, this is the place for you! read more

Great pizza but has limited hours of operation so incredibly hard to order, phone is always busy. If you don't like to wait don't order from here; I've been told there's a 3hr wait. read more

We have been trying to find a local great pizza joint since moving here, and this place was the one everyone raves about. Wrong. The pizza was greasy and gross. We will drive out of town for better choices. read more

I know they paid a lot for the sauce, but something has changed with it. I know you pay for what you get, and it used to be so good. You could eat it hot or cold and it was so good. Something changed. Thought maybe it was a fluke once. Twice, okay I'll give it another chance. Third try, it's bad. My Mom and Dad loved it for years and they noticed a difference. Please go back to the "secret sauce". I won't be back. Disappointed, feel betrayed. Told the owner about it and he said nothing had changed. Old age doesn't affect all people the same way. read more

Love the pizza but will never go back. Live out of town. Drove to Kendallville just for pizza but despite being open for another hour- they refused to answer the phone or take a call. Spend your money at a place that actually cares about their customers read more

I've grown up in Kendallville, but I can say without a doubt that Jim's pizza is about as bad as it gets. I don't like having a pizza that's swimming in grease so maybe that's the problem, but the toppings to me are also lack luster and the crust isn't good either. Not only that, but the wait time just to get one of these pizzas is insane!! All in all, not a good place to eat in my opinion. On the other hand if you do want to try some really good pizza my recommendations would be either Mancinos, Lexys Pizza, or Raimondos in Fort Wayne. All of them have really good pizza and subs/grinders! They're all farther to travel from where I live, but I would much rather spend my money on a pizza that's worth what is costs. read more

Jim's Pizza is a delicious family owned pizza place. Plan on grabbing the food and taking it home to eat in your house. You will need some napkins! I highly recommend Jim's! read more

What? No negative stars? This blows my mind.... the number of 5-star reviews - then I realize where I live. The only people who think this food is awesome are the locals - anyone who likes good food should not waste their time. No, I am not a local. Yes, I am well traveled - and hence, Jim's is a big no for me. read more

All I can say is, I don't get it. I had high expectations for this pizza based on my 30 minute attempt to place a carryout order and my 1 hour 15 min wait for the pizza once I was finally able to place my order. The pizza was incredibly salty and greasy. It was also quite pricey for thin crust pizza. I did like that the toppings are diced so that you get the flavor of the toppings in every bite. The staff was very friendly. Overall, it was just ok. I would rather get pizza from 800 Degrees in Fort Wayne, Timmy's in Garrett, or even Pizza Forum. read more

I was brought up on this pizza and there is no better. My favorite is sausage and mushroom. If you are in Kendallville or even driving thru Thurs - Sun it is the must eat place. Carry out only and my family has always taken paper plates and napkins and eat some (or all) on the way home. Absolutely best pizza ever and well worth the wait. In the summer the best tip I can give Is to start calling at 4. Its like calling into a radio station, you have to keep calling to get thru. read more

I don't understand the 45 minute wait for what amounts to a greasy cracker with too much meat. They also overdo the sauce.

This is a family owned pizza place that is soooo good you can't compare it to any pizza anywhere. It is salty and greasy and the bomb!! Kendallville is fortunate to have this in their town. read more

Way overrated. And overpriced. Someone else mentioned all the 5 star reviews seem to be from Kendallville locals. I wasn't raised in Kendallville (California) and I've eaten some of the best pizza all over the country. This isn't even the best in Kendallville. Just so-so. read more

Easily the best pizza in Kendallville, and in my opinion, some of the best pizza in northern Indiana. This is a great little small town joint - great food, great people, a little expensive, but worth every penny. This place is always slammed in the summer time, so call early, and expect to wait a bit. If you live anywhere close, you need to give it a try! read more

I crave this pizza everyday! I am originally from Indiana, but moved to Cali therefore I only get this amazing pizza once a year. The prices did go up, but if you love greasy spicy pizza this is for you. The wait time varies, if you're one of the first callers when they open your food will be done fast! read more

Just really awesome pizza! Not cheap and there is almost always at least a +45 wait but worth it! If I'm anywhere near Kendallville I have to get Jim's Pizza!!! read more

Jim's Pizza is my second favorite pizza joint in Kendallville. We only ate there once, but that was because they are so expensive. ($29.00) We bought the largest one the had, loaded. It was awesome. A little greasy, though. I've heard a lot of people complain about how greasy their pizza is. It's only because how much meat they have on their pizza. Still, pretty decent place if you're hungry. read more

This place was very good for being a local pizza place. I am from out of town and didn't expect much from the small town pizza joint, but it really exceeded my expectations. read more

Not a fan. It was cash only, and they didn't tell us that until we got there. Which easily could have been mentioned on the phone when we ordered. The pizza itself was very very salty. There was a lot of sauce and very little cheese. I suggest Little Caesars. read more

I have been going to Jim's Pizza for 50 years. My family loves this pizza. The sauce is like No Other and the fresh meats used are high quality and last time that I knew were from a local source. It has outlasted at least three other pizza chains and has never changed to the lower standards of pre-cooked meats, canned sauce and frozen pizza dough. We drive from Fort Wayne to get our Fix. If you have never had the Grubby special, a double layer pizza created by the previous owner Jim Grubb, you are in for a treat ! read more

The most incredible hometown pizza joint. I currently live on the west coast and I swear I crave their pepperoni pizza at least once a month. This is a must eat when I get in town. Only open Thursday-Sunday, so I plan my visits around their open hours. Also closed the weekend of the 4th of July and their local fair week. Order their pizza well done and you will not regret it. read more

Tomatoe sauce on pizza was distinctively and good. Call and order in advance as we had to wait 45 minutes for our pizza

2 hr wait on Saturday eve and middle of pie so messy you cant eat without a fork. You ever eat Lasagna by your hands
