Miro's Comments: Greasy and tasty. I'd like a bit more crisp, but at least
the cheese is toasted

Elizabeth's Comments: I looks cheesy and delicious.  Crust looks a tad pale.

Miro's Comments: A plenty thick layer of cheese

Elizabeth's Comments: There is a lot of it but an odd after taste - I think it
might be the grease.  This one is very
greasey.

Miro's Comments: Thin on the sauce, I can't tast much of it, but what I
get tastes fine

Elizabeth's Comments: I'm digging the sauce flavor - perfect blend of spice,
sweet, & tomato but the ratio is off - there needs to be more to balance
out the greasy-ness.

Miro's Comments: Like it's think crusted counter part from Jimbos, I find
the crust lacks flavor, but at least in this thinner version it gets its
toast on a little more.

Elizabeth's Comments: A little flimsy but flavorful, doughy, and a bit
crunchy.  I'm a fan.

Miro's Comments: Above average and delivered hot. If you like cheese, it's
hard not to be a fan.

Elizabeth's Comments: Both Jimbo's pizza could use another minute in the oven
but I'm a fan!

Jimbo's | Somerville | Thick Crust


Jimbo's | Somerville | Thick Crust




We feel badly for neglecting you so we decided to do a two part series on this Somerville icon, not only will we be rating their pizza – we will be rating both thick crust and regular crust!
Pizza not actually blurry in real life.

Miro's Comments:  Wow. That is a lot
of crust. I mean a lot of crust. So much crust. When you pull out a slice,
it's more clear that they roll the crust around the edges in order to achieve
a loaf-like thickness.

Elizabeth's Comments: A little silly - I thought thick crust meant the whole
thing was going to be thick for some reason.
There is a great even coating of cheese with nice crispy bits.  It looks tasty.

Miro's Comments: Salty and rich. A good flavor for delivery pizza

Elizabeth's Comments: A decent amount nicely covering the the whole sauce area
- not the strongest of flavors though, it's a bit overshadowed by a grease
tone.

Miro's Comments: A little thin, but pretty standard

Elizabeth's Comments: I reallly like this sauce.  It goes well with pizza.  Not too sweet, not too spicey, just the
right ratio.

Miro's Comments: Too much crust. The rim on the edge is too thick to feel
fully cooked and it lacks a toasted flavor I would like. The crust under the
cheese is think and chewy, but I almost wanted less of it given how think the
crust on the edge is.

Elizabeth's Comments: I was excited, I usually like a thick, chewy crust,
however, this is a little too chewy - like undercooked and dense instead of
fluffy.  It's actually hard to get my
teeth in.

Miro's Comments: I felt like the 'thick crust' was more novelty than
thoughtful culinary choice.

Elizabeth's Comments: I think I would be in heavean if this dough spent another
2 minutes in the oven.

Miro's Comments: Did I mention it has a very thick crust?

Elizabeth's Comments: Unless you're collecting data for a pizza blog, the extra
$1.50 is probably not worth it.
