P Jay’s Pizza

The Pizza itself was actually pretty good in my opinion. The delivery was quick; they initially told me it would be an hour, but it only took a half an hour. The big issue with P Jays is the sizes of their pizzas… Their «large» pizza is actually a small at some places and a medium at others. I suggest you guys tweak the sizes to the proper ones; your «small» is really a personal size, «large» is a small, and «jumbo» is a medium/​large.

The customer service at this place is horrific! The manager I dealt with, I believe his name was Chris, was extremely rude and unprofessional. If that is what I can expect from the management at P Jay’s then I will most certainly take my business elsewhere. Also the food is only mediocre and definitely not worth the money.

Years ago this place was decent. Recently it has gone to the wayside. I ordered a stromboli and a dozen garlic wings, the cost was just under 18 $. The wings were obviously recooked and tasted more like chicken jerky. The stromboli was soggy but edible. I’ve noticed lately they like to precook their pizza, then recook when ordered, very bad idea. I think at the price point the food should be more then just edible. I’ll be steering clear of this place.

Meh. That really does sum up my entire experience.
The large salad (~$ 5) has a ridiculous amount of cheese, 4 tomato wedges, and lettuce that was wet. They make spin driers for a reason. Great that they do the sanitary thing and wash their lettuce. Most don’t.
Got a black olive half sheet pizza (~$ 16). Pizza was nothing special. In fact it was better cold the next day. It was almost a poor Convenient Food Mart pizza clone. Maybe their normal pizzas are made differently? Doubt we will be back to find out.
Redeeming the experience was the hot wings (~$ 9/​dozen). They actually had a bit of spiciness, which is lacking in the area. This might bring us back.
Breadsticks (3 for $ 2.50) were pretty good — light and airy.
Other pluses are the staff is very courteous and this is the only place we’ve encountered in the Parma area that includes their menu with orders (take note competitors).

Crap disguised as award winning pizza… raw supermarket dough crust… generic pepperoni… bland sausage… wake up Cleveburghers… guy has a great game going here… doesn’t take charge cards but invites you to use the ATM that he owns right by the register at 2 bucks a pop… Ka-​Ching!!!

I made the mistake of reading the 50-​food-​and-​drink-​items-​you-​should-​eat-​in-​2012 write up (along with delicious pictures!) on
. One of the items that caught my eye was the potato pierogi pizza from P. Jay’s Pizza. The name instantly brought back very fond memories of eating «pizza skins» at Pizzeria Uno which I LOVED but can no longer get locally. Since this pizza shop is right around the corner from my house, I decided to give it a try tonight.
Ummmm…YUM! I liked it a lot. Of course, I was starving so maybe I liked it more than I might have if I were just merely hungry. The pizza is made with butter sauce, mashed potatoes, sauteed onions, butter, and cheddar cheese. I was concerned that this might be way too buttery and greasy but they use just the right amount of butter/​sauce to make my taste buds happy without overpowering me with grease. The layer of potatoes was just the right amount and creamy smooth. Onions were soft but not mushy and not overpowering. Just enough cheese topped it all off. It’s served with packets of sour cream. The crust was one of those good not-​too-​thick/​not-​too-​thin local pizza shop crusts. It wasn’t the BEST I’ve ever had but still good. All in all, the pizza was flavorful, filling, and warmed up my belly.
The people in the shop were pleasant and on the ball. I noticed quite a few of the employees on duty this evening appeared to be high school age. I like that — kids need jobs and a pizza shop is a great place for them! One note, they do not accept credit cards so have cash handy. I made the mistake of only having cards and had to run to the ATM next door. My fault for not paying attention when ordering.
I’ll be back P. Jay’s. You pleased my taste buds and my tummy. I’m happy to be supporting a neighborhood shop (across from another fav — Sittoo’s!)
