As pizza buffets go, darn good joint! The service was outstanding, fresh pizza kept rolling out, and everything tasted quality. I think their price is more than fair as well. The salad bar is really well-stocked with good choices. I want to return to try their lasagna night as well. Things you need to know: - pay on your way out - if you want something specific, just ask - there is a little soft serve machine in the corner for dessert read more

Terrible Experience and will not be going back! I chose Jim's pizza because of the pizza and salad buffet and the great reviews, however I can assure you this was not worthy of any positive reviews. As soon as we walked in the door, I noticed the restaurant was filthy and disgusting. The floor was dirty and sticky, the windows were dirty. We decided to do the pizza and salad buffet. The lettuce bowl was almost empty and they did not have a wide selection of toppings to choose from. When I decided to visit the pizza buffet, a few other patrons decided to load up multiple plates of pizza and wipe out almost the entire pizza selection. I had to wait for new pizzas to be made fresh and by that time they were quickly wiped out again. Overall the pizza was nothing to write home about. It was just okay - comparable to a frozen pizza. The bathrooms were filthy and had not been cleaned in several days. There was feces on the toilets and floor. There was toilet paper thrown all over the floor and it was an overall rusty mess! The ice cream machine was not working either. Overall I would rate it a Zero Stars! read more

Our favorite for lunch or if we are having a pizza party for work. The buffet is loaded with fresh salad veggies and any pizza you can imagine. Just ask if you don't see your favorite and they'll make it for you! My favorite is the Canadian bacon and mushrooms. Warm, relaxing atmosphere with plenty of seating and pizza nostalgia everywhere. Love this place!! read more

On Friday and Saturday, the buffet with a soda and tax comes to $16 as of now. That's a bit more than Cici's and Mama's so how does it compare? Lasagna is the add on dish to justify it and I think the lasagna is pretty good but it isn't as good as the lasagna at most Italian places which would go heavy on the ricotta. But if you like the lasagna and you want the salad and pizza, it's probably worth it to you. Spaghetti is every day and it's served with a meatless marinara sauce that's pretty good. This beats the pasta option at Mama's and is way better than the little noodles at Cici's. The salad is mostly fresh but the carrots seemed like they might have aged out on my visit. Multiple kinds of cheese, sliced ham, and pepperoni are on there. No eggs, no bacon, no honey mustard dressing. Overall I would take the salad at Mama's in Plano over this but most people would be happy. The pizza is thin style and I prefer this. I think most people probably prefer this. For cheese and pepperoni pizza it's pretty good. I think they make more variety and they take requests but you have to know enough to know what to request or the variety is limited. That carries over to the dessert pizzas. When I was there tonight they had only the cinnamon pizza similar to Cici's and what Pizza Inn and Gattiland had back in the day. It's good but not as good as hot cinnamon rolls. In the photos I see they've had cookies and brownie pizza before but I don't know if they still have those or if you can request them. There's also a soft serve dispenser with vanilla, chocolate and swirl and nobody else has that. It's great and goes well with the cinnamon pizza. Drinks are Coke products at the fountain, some other things behind the counter, and tea, water and lemonade on a table. I don't think there's alcohol. Seating area was fine and the people were nice. Probably worth it on the weekend if you want the lasagna. read more

Pizza and Salad bar is ok. It not the best but if you like buffet pizza it fits the bill. My only complaint is the floors are dirty with food pieces left from previous diners. Service was friendly and the manager was a super dude and very attentive to make whatever pizza we wanted. read more

We had a good time at first and the pizza was very good. The only thing that ruined the experience is when my 11 year old daughter told me and my wife that one of the men who picked up our dirty plates from the table was smiling and biting his lips at at her and it made her confused and feel uncomfortable. The man was a heavy set African American. Now I don't know if I feel comfortable coming to this place anymore. read more

I moved to McKinney two years ago. I should have written this at that time, but I hate writing bad reviews and tend to procrastinate. I was excited that there was a pizza place near by that served gluten free pizza. The first time I ordered delivery they had a new driver. I ordered around 6 pm but my pizza never arrived until 8:30 and it was ice cold. I also ordered a salad because I needed to meet their minimum order and they didn't even bring the salad. The delivery guy said he would go back and get it but he never came back. I live less than a mile from this place. I called and they said they would take the salad off of my card, but that never happened. A few weeks went by and I called the office several times but didn't get any answer or call back so I wrote an email and was eventually contacted by someone in the office. They had to go back through the receipts and find my transaction then kindly refunded me the entire amount of my order which was very kind. I do appreciate their effort. A few weeks later, my son was visiting and helping me unpack and settle in and I told him I would buy dinner so we drove up to Jim's. (Less than a mile) I am disabled and it was already difficult to get up the stairs into the restaurant. We wanted to try the buffet, but they didn't have any GF pizza on the buffet but they very kindly let me have the buffet and made me a personal GF pizza which was very nice. The food was good, we loved the salad, my son enjoyed everything on the buffet and the GF pizza was the best I've had, but the place was filthy. We asked to have our table wiped down twice because it was so sticky. The floor was covered with pizza crumbs as if no one had swept the floor in days. There could have been a whole pizza crumbed on the floor there were so many crumbs. The floor by the drink machine was sticky and the whole place smelled like a sewer. As I went back to the bathroom the smell got worse and it looked like the floors had never been cleaned they were gummy with years of greasy gunk. The place just gave me an over all ick feeling. I hate to write bad reviews and I am very careful about writing them. Out of 378 reviews in my lifetime as a Yelp member I have only written 16 one star bad reviews, and 14 two star reviews. It is hopeful that someone will take note and do some cleaning there. My thoughts are if the area where the customers are is this dirty what must the kitchen look like? Yikes! read more

I have been eating at Jim's Pizza since I was 16 yrs old and it was in old downtown McKinney. My whole family was friends with Jim and his family for years and we never went anywhere else for pizza. I was sorry to see them leave off of 380 but I knew they had to due to the old building and the City of McKinney. Well, I went to their new location up on El Dorado today and sorry to say my days of eating at Jim's Pizza are over. I arrived at 1pm for lunch, now their buffet stays open until 2pm - correct? I had a salad first, had to get my own drink - no one waited on me to get my drink. After eating my salad I went to the pizza buffet and it was full of old dried out pizzas - NOTHING fresh at all !!! I got about 3 pieces from 3 different pizzas and took them back to my table and attempted to eat them and just as I thought, they were old and dried out. I sat there until 1:40 and NO new pizzas were put out at all so I just got tired of waiting and then this waiter shows up out of no where and asks me if I need a drink and I said NO, I GOT MY OWN, so he went ahead and put a ticket on my table like he was expecting a tip I guess - yea right, no way on this end !! I read an article just this past weekend that Papa John, Dominoes, and Pizza Hut are ALL DOWN 30% first quarter - People are now watching what they are spending, especially on fast food. When I checked out - I was told my bill was over $14.00 for 1 buffet & 1 drink - that is A LOT TO SPEND for salad that was very good but 3 pieces of dried out pizza !!!!!! Like I said, my favorite pizza joint from childhood has now gone by the wayside !!!!! read more

I really don't know how to say how overjoyed we are to see this place reopen. If you knew Jim... you knew he had a heart for people and especially his community. Not only that, he has always had the best pizza around that people drive from everywhere to have. So when you combine great pizza and a longtime resident/owner that never forgot your patronage, you have one of the best staple places in north Texas. So... what about now? Jim passed... soooo how's the food? ON point! Same as it was - but even better at the new location! More room, same great hospitality. Best buffet around! As as true to Jim's love for our military, there is a military discount. Show them some love! Enjoy the pictures... their pizza has been perfected since 1969. read more

Great pizza, salad bar, spaghetti and lasagna. Great food and value since we started eating there at their old location.

We decided to try Jim's after hearing raves from a number of McKinney natives. We arrived right at 5:25 (actually a couple minutes before start time for the buffet), and most of the pizza offerings on the buffet were already gone. The buffet offers salad, spaghetti with meat sauce, toast (possibly garlic), lasagne (I believe that's only on Fridays and Saturdays) and about 4-5 choices of pizza. They had pepperoni, cheese, sausage, and a "deluxe" version that had pepperoni, sausage, peppers, olives and onions, and a "dessert pizza". To their credit, they did restock pizza on the buffet fairly regularly, so we were able to sample each. There was only one server on duty, so I ended up just getting my drink refills myself. As for the food: - The pizza wasn't too bad, but to be honest I've had better. Being an extremely thin (like cracker-thin) crust, I think it's easy to overcook, and sitting on the buffet dries it out even more. Maybe extra thin crust just isn't my thing. - The spaghetti was also kinda dry, sitting in a pan. They might want to consider leaving it in water, or at least sprinkling a little water on it from time to time. The marinara meat sauce was actually pretty good, but the dry spaghetti diminished the taste. - I thought the lasagna was actually better than what I've had at places like Olive Garden. It had a real homemade taste to it, and endures well sitting in a pan on the buffet. - My wife tried the dessert pizza and was a little disappointed. It's basically crust with butter and sugar. Some cinnamon would've helped the taste. Summary: we enjoyed the fact that it was a buffet, and got to enjoy several varieties of pizza and pasta in one sitting. Not the greatest as some people have commented, but not terrible. Definitely try the lasagna! We'll probably be back when we get a hankerin' for a variety of pizzas. read more

Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! Had to reach 48 characters.

My wife and I came here for a quick dinner. The pizza we order was fair and the lady server was nice. The person who took our order was good. We did like the one and only TV as it did not cause a distraction while talking. My wife did see a coach roach near the fountain machine which kinda grossed her out. Overall it was an okay experience. read more

Kids were begging to go here, so we caved, and I have regretted it since. Service was not great. It's a buffet so you don't expect much, but somehow every interaction felt like we were bothering them. I can live with that but what I can't live with it the BUGS CRAWLING ON THE BUFFET! A small roach was seen crawling under a tray. When I immediately told the staff, they reacted like it wasn't the first time it's happened. We left immediately but I get so grossed out when I think of it! I highly recommend you stay away. read more

I want to do Justice to people about this place. As I walked into the large establishment it had only one customer. The owner or manager was polite and asked me to sit and said please pay after you are done unlike Cicis I walked to the pizza buffet to find almost nothing to eat. Extremely poor presentation. Nothing to eat almost I requested a veggie and a then a spinach pizza. The quality of pizza was good but I won't never go back to this place unless the price is $2.99 for a buffet This company had to go a long way to fix the look of the place. I am sorry I am being honest. People are nice and I commend them to work here $13.99 for a pizza buffet no way Sorry read more

Here's the thing, when I showed up after calling in my order the doors were locked. I called the restaurant and knocked on the door a couple of times. I would have just left honestly if I hadn't paid for my pizza in advance. It was an annoying inconvenience. One lady was cleaning up the salad bar and rolled her eyes at me when she saw I was knocking. If that wasn't enough the pizza was not my favorite. I didn't enjoy the sauce so I won't be returning. The plus side is that the toppings didn't just fall off the pizza when you picked it up, so that's good. read more

I really wanted to give this place a try because I was really craving pizza and salad. But holy cow, just the first impression: their entrance glass door was soooooo dirty. Then the pizza buffet set up: pozza slices on top of each other, the spaghetti and sauce containers wide open with dried up spaghetti, and salad ingredients spilled out and not cleaned. Barf. I walked right out read more

I was excited to try this place! Where do I start. My pizza was cool. The crust was hard and gummy. I had a spinach, chicken, mushroom and onion pizza and it tasted SALTY! I am disappointed and I feel cheated. Definitely will not patron here again. read more

Jim's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Absolutely the best pizza buffet in DFW! Scott, the owner (Jim's son, Jim started the restaurant 50+ years ago), and his family and staff are the best. They will make just about any special request pizza. We've been coming since 2006! They moved to the new location in early April. Still the same fantastic pizza, salad bar and service. Don't forget to have the sweet tea, it pairs very well with the yummy pizza! read more

Pizza is always good, love their deserts. They let us in for the buffet while they had recently closed it at 2:30pm we got in there at 3pm which is a plus since we had my niece with us. We were really grateful for that. read more

Very good pizza especially if your a meat guy. They have the best hamburger meat that they put on their pizzas. If you eat at the buffet and don't see your favorite pizza all you gotta do is ask and they will take care of you read more

It smells like sewage inside. Staff complained about several customers loudly. But, the bigger issue is that the further back in the restaurant you go the worse the smell of feces is. Not returning! read more

I was out, searching for a place to eat, and I always love a pizza Buffet both for the salad bar and the pizza. I was greeted right away and they were nice but my first step up to the salad bar was disappointing. The salad was not fresh and all I had there to put the salad on was a paper plate not a nice, thick paper plate, but a cheap paper plate. I don't know how I was going to hold salad and pizza on this flimsy plate, after putting the lettuce on my plate, I decided to leave. I don't know if the pizza is good or not but that salad was not pretty and for the money seriously they should give you a real plate. read more

Great Pizza Place!!!! The buffet was full of options. The salad bar had fresh ingredients and selections. The staff was super nice and friendly. Shannon the waitress was wonderful to talk to. I will come here again. Buffet for lunch and dinner EVERDAY they are open. Not open on Sundays. read more

Pizza was just ok. Friendly staff, spaghetti sauce was just ok as well. One and done for me.

My wife and I were in the DFW touring communities ahead of our plan to relocate this summer. The last day in town we toured McKinney before heading to the airport to head back north. We will be back in town for good in July and we cannot wait to share Jim's with our family! We stopped in for lunch, and everything was fresh. The salad was decent (love a good salad bar!), the ranch was BOMB, and the pizza was hot with a crispy crust. They seemed to rotate the pizzas pretty well for my tastes and there was always plenty to choose from. They even have frozen margarita that is self serve. I don't want to forget the service. We had amazing customer service everywhere in the area the whole weekend we were there. Everyone was friendly and made us feel like we were at home with family. I absolutely cannot wait to go back! read more

First time ordering here and they botched my pizza. Very clearly said no black or green olives on the Jims Special and they must've read no green peppers so my pizza had a ton of green olives and no peppers (GROSS). On top of that both pizzas i ordered were supposed to be regular crust, but they made thin crust, and the regular pepperoni pizza was pretty sub-par. Definitely will never be ordering here again. Teach your cooks to read. read more

Really good za. Also great buffet. Best thin crust pizza for miles and miles. Cotton special: yes please Jim's combination: don't mind if I do Chicken bacon ranch: drooool read more

Disappointed. I had high hopes for this meal. They've been around for awhile and my son had pizza there a couple weeks ago and he liked it. I ordered 2 large pizza special that comes with the drink. They have curbside delivered which is nice. I got my 2 pizzas but no drink. I didn't think about the drink until I was home and I wasn't going back. I had been craving pizza so I was looking forward to it. Seems it was overcooked. The crust was really hard. It was akin to a large saltine cracker with pizza toppings. My son said the pizza he had before was not like that. So, I'll try them again. Perhaps the next order will go better and I'll update the rating. read more

Their new location is fabulous and closer to shopping areas.... the pizza is sizzling hot on the buffet line... hard to find at other places. They offer up a salad bar with a great variety to include some of everything. Tonia was our wait person and she met our needs before we even asked. You feel valued in this place where the legacy of great food and good company prevail. I find myself going now every week. Their new address is 2107 El Dorado Parkway..near the McAllisters... yummy hot fresh pizza!!! read more

Jim's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - McKinney, Texas

This place just isn't the same as it used to be. I realize that some of the changes were obviously intentional, but they weren't for the better. I continue to eat at Jim's a few times a year because it's nostalgic, sometimes we crave it and every time we are disappointed. While the new restaurant space may be bigger it's not well kept, the "party room" is full of random stuff from jackets to crockpots. The bathrooms reek, all you have to do is go get ice cream and you can smell them, the drink area is a mess, the tables are always dirty even when it's not busy, and all of the employees seem to socialize more than actually work. I understand socializing with your customers to build those relationships but it's usually the staff socializing with each other, at the end of the day this is a business and I honestly don't know how they are still open. read more

First time here ..... y'all i LOVE Jim's pizza and when i was told there was a buffet i was excited ... was welcomed when we first came in told us that someone would take our drink order but wow was i disappointed these pictures will explain ... the lady with green hair never once came by our table she went to every other table we grabbed our own drinks the guy behind the counter played on his phone left for awhile when we finally left we never saw him again as green haired girl tried to do what she could no one cleaned around the Buffett they stack hot pizza on top of cold pizza the cold pizza sat there and still stack 1/2 empty pans on top of the cold pizza i was just in Ahhh with disappointment .. when we paid out the green haired girl was very unprofessional, even had an attitude I understand she was left by her self, but did not need to share that attitude with me as I paid out. don't like giving bad reviews hopefully the manger/ owner will do better next time for future guest. read more

First time having Jim's delivered tonight and the pizza was great just the way my family and I like it. I wish we would have tried Jim's sooner. We will definitely be ordering again read more

Great Pizza I would definitely recommend it. It's a different type of pizza with great ingredients.

Great place for tired hungry travelers. Quick with order and very accommodating. Pizza was delicious and large servings of spaghetti. Salad were large and fresh. Wait staff checked on us and was very friendly. I was impressed when the waitress turned off the music because it included profanity! Kudos to you!! read more

Dollar for dollar you can't beat Jim's! Try the all-meat, bacon cheeseburger or supreme! And the buffet is as good as they come!

Went here for lunch, arrived around 11:15am. You would think at that time the pizza would be fresh and there would be a variety to choose from. NOPE!! There were 3 choices. Yesterdays cardboard pepperoni, yesterdays sausage, and the variety pan half full of different slices from yesterday. Stayed for one hour, only 1 pizza was put out for probably 20 people to share. The ranch tasted sour after trying a salad. This has been the same story for our last 2-3 trips. It used to be decent before they moved across town. QT is a better pizza choice than this place. read more

We found out about this place thanks to the ads we got in the mail, and we're glad we did. We went in on a Friday night for their pizza buffet. We left stuffed! They have a variety of pizza's to choose from, along with a salad bar, and they even had spaghetti and meatballs. I really enjoyed the pizza's because I'm a fan of a thinner crust, which they had. Two things that stood out to me that could use some improvement. One, the salad bar had a lot of dried out/brown veggies. I know it's a pizza place but as someone who enjoys a salad with my pizza, if that is something you're going to offer, make sure the quality is good. Two, while our waitress was phenomenal, when we walked in none of the staff acknowledged us, despite seeing us. A simple, "someone will be with you" would have been great. It was our first time there so we didn't know if we just seat ourselves and start eating, do we wait to be seated by staff?? I thought I had pictures but I must have been really hungry because I didn't find a single one on my phone. read more

Jim's is a life saver! How can a pizza joint be a save the day? Well let me tell you! It all started when I left my lunch at home. I've been trying to eat healthy and I prep my lunches for the week and can you believe it I left it at home? I'm a teacher and my lunch is from 11:15 to 11:45. I looked at Jason's Deli, Jimmy John's, and China Sun. None of them could deliver before noon. Jim's opens at 10:30 and had my food delivered at 11:05. That is amazing! I was doing a happy dance all the way from the office because it was on time. Let me tell you about my chef salad. It had fresh greens topped with cheddar, ham, pepperoni and a side of olives. As I dove into the salad I discovered broccoli, carrots and celery hidden in my greenery yumminess! My son had a small pepperoni pizza. It was a huge hit with him. He gobbled half and lunch and the other half after school. They also did not scrimp on the Parmesan. They delivered it with 5 containers of cheese. My boy was so excited. Thanks Jim's for saving me from starvation or worse school cafeteria food! read more
