Jimmy’s pizzeria
Visitors say
Well boys and girls on holiday. It was blooming great. Ask for a look at the 1M pizza. Bit big for us but our pizza was very tasty. Birdwatching too while you wait
Best pizza I've had in a while! The crust is a winner! Somewhere between American Pizza and Italian Pizza 👌 Also a lovely simple house wine and friendly people. Win win win!
About
Tucked into the lively town of Kalloni, the commercial heart of central Lesvos, Jimmy's Pizzeria offers a welcome and unpretentious stop for visitors exploring the island's interior. Kalloni sits at the head of a sheltered gulf renowned for its sardines, and the town buzzes with local life year-round, making it a natural base for those venturing beyond the coastal resorts. Jimmy's fits right into this everyday rhythm, serving wood-fired or stone-baked pizzas that draw both locals and travellers looking for a satisfying, familiar meal after a long day of sightseeing.
The pizzeria carries the relaxed character typical of family-run eateries scattered across Greek market towns — generous portions, a convivial atmosphere, and staff who treat regulars and newcomers alike. For visitors spending time in the Kalloni area, whether birdwatching around the famous salt pans, visiting the monasteries of the surrounding hills, or simply passing through on the cross-island road, Jimmy's provides a reliable and cheerful pit stop. It is the kind of place where you can pull up a chair, share a pizza with fellow travellers, and feel the unhurried pace of island life settle over you.
Before you go
What to expect
The smell of baking dough greets you at the door of this no-frills, convivial spot in Kalloni's busy town centre. Locals running errands and travellers mid-journey share the same crowded tables, making it feel genuinely lived-in rather than tourist-facing. Expect generous slices, a lively buzz, and staff who keep things moving without any fuss.
Best time to visit
Open year-round; spring and autumn are the most pleasant, when the heat is gentle and birdwatchers fill the nearby salt pans.
How to get there
Follow the main cross-island road west from Mytilene; Kalloni sits roughly 40–50 minutes' drive away at the natural junction where roads from the north, south, and coast all meet. Jimmy's is in the town centre.

Quiet shop, delicious pizza with nice ingredients. Very filling! We would like the dough to be a little thinner so it wouldn't be too filling. The lady who served us was friendly and the service was fast! We also appreciated the dessert!

Overrated in my opinion. At least don't go here if you like Italian style pizza. Huge pizzas with more dough than anything. Friendly staff!
