Inside's pretty basic, they definitely lean towards takeout,
Michael B.

TLDR: As most of the reviews below state, this is 'pretty good' pizza. Definite standout from the sea of pizza chains, but it's a pricey alternative. Placed a medium mushroom-sausage pie order for pickup. Restaurant is pretty basic, a few tables and mostly designed for takeout. Staff was friendly and service was prompt. Toppings were fresh, decent cheese and sauce. A cut above a lot of chains. I'm a little mixed on the crust. Nice and doughy with a bit of chew, but overly thick at the rim, making the sauce and cheese pool towards the center. (See the picture, I'm not joking!) Overall, a good pizza but overpriced at +$20 for a two-topping medium. Still, since the quality was there, I'd give it a firm thumbs-up. This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

Someone recommended it to me recently so I thought I'd try it. Online ordering was a little confusing. Website looks like it was designed by a third grader in 1998. I don't know why they need my phone number AND email address for the order. After I finished, the site said I'd get a confirmation. Never did. Went to pick it up. Restroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. Staff was friendly. Pizza tastes pretty good. Sauce has a nice flavor; toppings were fresh. I have a little issue with hand tossed crusts. I like them, but they never seem to spread the sauce out far enough. A couple of the slices were only three bites. Seriously. Have a look at the picture. That's a lot of real estate that could have used more sauce and cheese. I would go back though. Maybe get a different type of crust.

Order was made wrong.

I normally don't do reviews but I ordered a pepperoni pizza and got no Pepperoni, just cheese. First time trying it and will not be buying here anymore.

Margherita Pizza

Not really a $24 pizza. They charges $2 extra for extra cheese and $2 for extra "fresh" basil. Flavor is okay, but it was a "ready made" crust...not at all fresh. Don't think I'll be back.

Nutty Chipotle with Black Olives
Teresa B.

Sometimes you just want a pizza. This town is full of pizza joints on every corner. Garlic Jim's stands out from the crowd! It's nestled into a strip mall off of 1604 and Hausman, so it may be often overlooked. They are available for dine-in, pick up or delivery and I found out the hard (or easy) way that if you accidentally set your order for pickup and you meant delivery, you can easily call and ask them to deliver with no hassle. We've had a few different pizzas from Garlic Jim's but our favorites are the Cheeseburger and the famous Nutty Chipotle. The cheeseburger is topped with bacon, beef, cheddar cheese, classic red sauce, mozzarella cheese, red onions, Roma tomatoes and drizzled with Thousand Island dressing. I don't think it tastes quite like a cheeseburger but it is tasty. I think if they add some shredded lettuce on top that would be a nice addition. Then there is the Nutty Chipotle. I have never heard of such a thing but it is a very interesting choice. It comes with zesty chipotle pesto that is topped with spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, red onions, tomatoes, and cashews. Cashews, you say? Yes, cashews. They are roasted right on top and you hardly notice them until you taste this interesting crunch from time to time. I add black olives to ours to gild the lily. In the past, we've had the Hercules (all meat) and enjoyed it as well. You have choices on the crust: hand-tossed, garlic thin, and gluten-free. We've tried the hand-tossed and garlic thin and I just can't decide which I like the best. I'd love for them to add a deep dish, but I'll stay happy with the other choices. Staff and delivery people have always been pleasant and accommodating. We don't order pizza very often, but when we do, it's usually Garlic Jim's. It's just a bit different and a good choice in a sea of Papa Johns, Dominoes, Pizza Hut, etc.

The Big Jim

Had the hand tossed Big Jim. It wasn't bad. A little doughy still. Topping were a little under cooked as well. Not the worst pizza I have had, but nothing special really.

Take out was easy and the pizza was delicious. Even the next day warmed up. Thank you for a great pizza.

Expensive and not very good. Also took a little too long to prepare when I was waiting with my kids. Nothing special about it at all, sadly.

Dough Pizzeria Napoletana truly lives up to its commitment to authenticity. Our waiter was…read moreincredibly attentive and took the time to explain the restaurant's philosophy: as many ingredients as possible are imported directly from Italy, and anything that can't be imported is thoughtfully sourced from local producers. That attention to detail definitely comes through in the food. I ordered the arugula salad with chicken, and it was outstanding. The combination of candied pumpkin seeds, creamy goat cheese, roasted beets, and balsamic vinaigrette was perfectly balanced, with every bite offering great texture and flavor. My friends ordered the pepperoni pizza and couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Then came dessert... and I completely lost all self-control--in the best way possible. We ordered the affogato, tiramisu, torta di polenta, and the Nutella torta. Every single dessert was beautifully executed and absolutely delicious. If I had to pick favorites, the affogato and the Nutella torta were the standouts, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Excellent service, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and food that delivers from start to finish. I'll definitely be back!

The host was very pleasant and mentioned she would make a note of my birthday. When we arrived, our waiter was attentive, funny, and accurate. We tired their pizza, burrata and bread, olives, salad, and the tiramisu. I really appreciated their NA options of teas and mocktails. The whole experience was awesome and my tastebuds were spoiled. I do with they would have comped a beverage or dessert for a birthday celebration. That was really disappointing especially considering the bills total.

Came here for lunch - loved the atmosphere, fantastic playlist and service!…read more Could not enjoy their beers as it was a work lunch! Got the salad and pizza combo but so apparently did everyone else and with one person making the pizzas it was at least 35 minutes until we received ours and a good 20 minutes after we finished our salad - thankfully we had some time to spare! Salad was good - pizza good but for being prepared on the spot was okay - dough was a let down and it does not collapsed with Wild Barely or Pinthouse - good but not great!

I've been a long time customer to this establishment and enjoyed cocktails, (no longer an option…read morehere), exceptional beer , really good wings and pizza. Recently the waiters were all changed and cocktail service ended. We've been loyal customers so we decided to give the new crew the benefit of the doubt. We decided to grab some beers and watch the end of the Spurs game. The Brewery closes at 11:00, a waiter 5 minutes earlier closed our ticket courteously because they were closing. At 10:59 an employee, supposedly a manager, behind the bar, not assisting with any closing duties, rudely said in a loud voice " We're closing and shutting off the TV" Before that was said there was 50 seconds left in the game and we were putting on our coats. I said in response "this place sure has changed." Last time I encountered such rudeness was at the restaurant Ocho, also near the Riverwalk. They are now out of business. We will not be returning, sometime in the future we will look in to see if this person is still working here (though we have not seen her do much working besides lurk behind the bar and the ladies room door. Customer service is one of foundations of of any good business, hopefully this establishment will return to it's previous standards.

I recommend a different restaurant. There are ones for this price for cheaper in the city that have…read morefar better food. The food feels like the chefs were given good quality materials, but had no idea what to do with them. We ordered a funghi pizza to share then a cinghiale, a costine (short ribs), and a dentice (bass). Funghi pizza was the only dish that made coming worth it at all. It had a nice flavor, but if you're expecting the notes of an earthy mushroom flavor, don't. It's just a nicer version of a standard cheese pizza topped with some onions and mushroom. The cinghiale was just stunningly mediocre. The meat was flavorful, but the pasta itself was shockingly bland. It was just so... ok. The dentice was the best of the 3 individual dishes, but it is just what you would expect some average short ribs with random sauce to taste. The costine was just terrible. Salty on the outside, yet flavorless on the inside. Avoid at all costs. The service was passable, but they clearly overwork their servers as one server just handles an entire section and is too overwhelmed to be timely. I came to cheer myself up, but honestly it only made dinner comically worse. I seriously can't imagine what would cause someone to rate this as 5 stars. Maybe if they thought Olive Garden was 4.5, then I guess this would barely be a 5 in comparison? Either way, if you're looking for good food for your dinner, keep looking. You won't find it here.
