For years, Jimmy & Joe’s Pizzeria was a local favorite known mostly to residents of its Chandler neighborhood. In 2011, it opened a second location in Mesa, bringing its signature Serious Slice to a wider audience.
Now, owner Terry Black‘s family-run operation is undergoing a major expansion, opening additional locations this fall in Ahwatukee and Tempe.
The Ahwatukee location is scheduled to open Oct. 21 in the former Naked Pizza space in the Safeway center at 48th Street and Elliot. It will be the first location to offer beer and wine (once its permit is approved).
The Tempe location will be in the Tempe Transportation Building (shown above on Google Earth) on the northwest corner of Forest Avenue and Fifth Street, just wast of Sun Devil Stadium.
Besides beer and wine, it also will have a coffee bar and feature roll-up garage doors. It’s scheduled to open in late November.
