Jack’s Pizza Delray Beach
March 28th, 2009 - By: Pizza Expert
Stu told me he knows of the best pizza place around, in Delray Beach. It is called Jack’s NY Pizza. Jack’s Pizzeria is located on 14856 S. Military Trail
Delray Beach, Fl 33484 561-638-5552. Although I had passed it numerous times, I never thought to stop in and try it, cause something about the shopping center gives me the creeps. Since they recently (year or so ago) updated the shopping center, I thought it would be ok to try it. Besides, in my opinion, you can always tell a lot about a persons taste buds, based upon where they recommend the pizza expert to try.
We were seated at a table in the restaurant section. Unlike many of the idiotic pizza places around town, Jacks Pizzeria also has counter service, where people can actually carry their own slices to their tables. Amazing how everyone can carry their own food to the table at this place, yet the other dumbo owners seem to think a waiter/waitress needs to be present. Big G ordered us one Sicilian and one Regular pie as I was washing my hands. This sounded fine to me since I would naturally like to try one of each anyways. While we were sitting there I noticed, that Jacks doesn’t seem to really care about the safety of their patrons. Look at these photos from the table we were sitting at:
Although it is hard to tell from the photos, what you are looking at is a crack in the glass, covered up with scotch tape! Instead of just investing a couple of bucks to fix it, they instead thought it would be wise to just tape it and pray a patron didn’t slice their wrist apart. Jack’s Pizzeria = Smart on counter service on one side, and DUMB on customer safety.
Once the pizza came out, I tried the Sicilian first. Something was off, the cheese was ok, but the sauce lacked substance. Very bland, and with tomato skin. I found myself wiping off most of the sauce and pouring on Parmesan cheese to help it taste better. the dough was decent, but nothing to earn it extra points. The regular slice was definitely better then the Sicilian slice, but still wasn’t nearly as great as Stu had portrayed it to be.
See here is the problem guys….if you are going to tell me, the pizza expert, that a place is good, it better be good or I tend to dislike it more then I normally would since I went there with expectations. You are better off mentioning that you enjoyed a place, and not refer to it as the best, and then perhaps I might just go to enjoy a slice, instead of looking for perfection. Stu, I hoped we learned a lesson today. Leave the pizza ranks to the experts. Although I appreciate your trying to help me locate the “best pizza”, this place was far from the best. On the other hand, Big G, really seemed to like this pizza, which is a bit odd since him and I normally think the same thing about pizza tastes. I might have to have him examined!
Thankfully Jared was also at the table and told me to eat across the street at La Bella Vita, and that is where I found Tony, so big props to Jared!

In my opinion Jack’s Pizzeria gets 4 out of 8 slices.

Great bit about “patron safety” lmao In my considerable dining experience, I've found that often the worse off the furniture is, the better the food is. After all, do you want the restaurant to focus on food or on crap like decor?
I just don't want the red in the sauce to come from the slit wrist of the guy sitting across from me!
I know what you mean about the looks of the exterior at a plaza. The sushi place by my house is in a run down old center in Delray beach. I walked inside last night, and was struck! The restaurant setting was cute and humble inside! This pizza looks delicious, and the best part is that it's within driving distance.
Oh, you are THE pizza expert? Listen, idiot, all anyone has to do is read this useless, pathetic and uninformed CRAP and they will want to puke right then and there. You don't know a DAMN thing about pizza and it's painfully obvious in almost every sentence that you spew out. Frankly, reading this shi* makes a guy truly want to beat you to a pulp.
You're just a little maggot sissy worm that's trying to be something better than what you are but failing miserably.
You absolutely disgust me.
Your “pizza ratings” are the true works of a pizza MORON.
You know NOTHING…..NOTHING about pizza.
I wouldn't be seen anywhere near you, sissy.
So are you suggesting you know more about pizza then me? Are you insinuating that because I found jacks to be sub par on my first visit that it is the best? Cause if you consider this the “best” then you discredit yourself as knowing anything yourself. What place is the best?
Maybe you are good at calling people sissy maggots, but when it comes to finding the best pizza, kindly leave it to the experts.
ROFLMAO!!!! Listen, you're so retarded it's pitiful. I don't “discredit” myself or anything around you, you stinking little speck of crap. If you would read your own website you would see that I have already posted what place I think is the best around these parts. You….an “expert”? LMAO! You're just a whining little punk that has to bitch about every little thing when you go out to eat. Maybe one day, if somebody you mouth off to finally gives you the ass kickin' you're asking for you'll shut up and eat your food without your crying.
Expert, my ass.
Anybody with half a brain can take one look at the pictures of this pizza and see it's pretty good.
I usually do not complain when I am out to eat. That is what this site is for instead! This site has helped out dozens of restaurants, and those that seek out help receive it for free instead of charging them like a normal consultant would.
Try to look on the bright side of life and not be so angry at the world.
“This site has helped out dozens of restaurants, and those that seek out help receive it for free instead of charging them like a normal consultant would”
ROFLMAO!!!!!! I can't believe you're actually serious!!!!
Face it the pizza does suck here!!!
No, the pizza here is great. Truth be told, anyone with any brains at all knows that no pizza is “the best”. There are places all over the country that are “the best”.
The self-acclaimed “expert” here on this site thinks he knows more about pizza than other people do – that his preferences are somehow THE guidelines for everyone else. I can't believe that nobody sees through this moron.
Awwww, poor little pizza expert doesn't like the pizza here……awwwwww…..don't worry little boy, we'll just take you someplace else and maybe you'll eat there……….OMG, make me puke.
Actually, I am no expert. But, the pizza here really, really sucks. I do not know where the “Best” is, but here is one of the worst.
And that, Joe, is a fair assessment of it, Joe. It's your opinion, straight up, and it's done right. I respect that.
I'm no “expert” either. There is no “expert”.

2funny…. I always like the guy who claims to be an expert at anything short of a scientist..lol..anyway for those that care I live in Detroit ( no not the pizza capitol of the world ) and Every time I come to Delray I go to Jacks for a slice or an entire pie..it's a very good pie and people like this Idiot can do a lot of damage to a business by Blowing you know what out ..ok enough on that..people get a life ( other than a so called food critic ) and realize it's a matter of opinion if you like the pizza..don't Harm those that try to make a living.
