Jinny's Pizzeria

Jinny's Pizzeria deserves an award for Best Pizza (maybe even a trophy)!WOW WOW WOW... Why have I not found this pizzeria sooner? Newton isn't a city that I frequent much but due to my job in outside wine sales, one of my accounts is just a block away. While I was working a wine tasting a few of the customers came in with pizza boxes looking for wine to bring home. I asked immediately "How is the pizza there?" Their eyes lit up in excitement stating "It is the best." Because Pizza is one of my favorite foods I had to try it. The night I tried to place an order it said 2 hours for pickup and the restaurant was packed so I couldn't eat there. I knew that when I was back in the area "working" I had to make sure to try it. So, this past weekend was one of those times and we got to eat there on a Saturday night. Thanks to July 4th weekend when everyone in the neighborhood goes out of town. Both my husband and I snagged bar seats immediately (score). Paul one of the owners greeted us with friendliness and was eager to tell us about the menu and wine list. I was able to taste a few different wines and went with something special from Campania. For starters, we shared the Spiedini- ea which was provolone wrapped with prosciutto and drizzled with Mike's hot honey. OMG, this blew me away so make sure to order this one when you come here. We also ordered their Caesar Salad which was also delicious and so fresh. I love a salad with pizza! Fun fact: They say starting with veggies helps your blood sugar too. For pizza, we had their McL'Oven which was pepperoni, mushrooms, caramelized onions, mozzarella, and tomato sauce. They also have white pizzas too. For dessert, because why not, we shared their Olive Oil Cake and one of their craft cocktails. The cake was very moist with olive oil, strawberry rhubarb, and mascarpone cheese. We were stuffed but our bellies were very happy (the diet starts this week) LOL!For all my pizza-loving friends please check them out. You can place a pick-up or delivery order ahead of time which is great especially when you can't get in due to a long wait. To the team @Jinny's Pizzeria, thanks so much for an awesome time. We will be back soon...maybe next weekend:)

Huge fan of Jinnys. The pizza is great. I've not tried anything else there yet but this is my go to spot to grab a pizza. The pizza is personal sized if you're a big eater like myself. I could easily order a pizza person with most of my friends. Take out is easy. The staff is very friendly. The ingredients are fresh. The dough is perfect done. I love this place for a wood fired pizza.

So good.Service is awesome.Caesar-maybe the best I've had in years.The spiedini!!! So good and unexpectedly flavorful with the honey.And the pizza and dipping sauces are all outstanding! Lastly, staff attentive, kind and no muss, no fussPlace is tiny though so brace yourselves to be on top of table next to you.

the food here was amazing and so was the service. very small restaurant but very cozy and the staff was super welcoming. you have to get the romano beans they were insane and the pizza was amazing too

One of my favorite restaurants - the Maui waui pizza is a must. The staff are so friendly and make an effort to make everyone feel like a regular. Great spot.

Incredible menu.We had two appetizers that blew our minds, the pizza was out of this world, no wonder there's a line out the door!There are many pizza shops in the area, but there's only one Jinny's!

Helpful tip: All of the pizza combos are great and there's plenty of parking in newton center!! If it's a nice day too definitely try eating at one of the picnic tables across the street.Review: I always get the Maui Waui and I love their seasonal combinations also! The price-flavor value is well worth it and I just can't stop coming back here! It's definitely one of the best speciality pizza places around boston!

Life is Short. F....it up! Family, Flavor, FriendsWhen googling best food this place popped up. I thought how could that be, read the raves online. For those who knows me I'm always looking for that pause moment yummm WTF is in my mouth and can it be this good. Maybe I was in the zone. Maybe it was the combination off the weather and the rotation off there earth. Whatever it was this wood fired 3 day aged dough was it. Jinnys was a small place very cozy the center piece was the oven. There staff were friendly and made the time to chat about the place and made you feel welcome. In the outfront kitchen they all worked in Harmony together making small miracle every 5min. We got there Mcl 'oven and the Mushroom. The Mcl came very balanced in its flavor classic ingredients that just worked. I picked off ones off the Roni to taste and u knew it was special. The mushroom it deceiving for its simple name. From the 1st ..I had that moment ( see above). Sorry let me try and walk you thru it. You know how when you eat something first it with you eyes, nose comes next for the aroma. Then the mouth feeling the texture then the tongue drives ...then swallow. This time the nose kicked in during there tongue..there was a effervescence that was prob the combo or the arugula and porcini oil. This my friend is what separates very good to OMFG. Oh and what puts it over the top was the North end oil for dipping the already good chewy crisp soft crust. This place doesn't want to give the taste buds a chance.

I love the variety on Jinny's menu! There are so many unique and delicious pies, making it so hard to choose. We had the sausage pie with tomato sauce, house-made italian sausage, broccoli rabe, ricotta, and fennel. The crispiness was just perfect and I absolutely loved it, but was hoping for a bit more fennel flavor. We also had the Whipped Burratapistachio, mint, english peas, and house-made focaccia which was super unique. I can't wait to return to Jinny's and try more!

While the food may be "good" don' t expect to order a delivery - when you have 20 guests - and have it delivered.... quite embarrassing. Refund was issued but the lack of empathy and attitude of staff was -- yuch....
