About Jim's Pizza
Jim’s Pizza is a McKinney original, a one of a kind pizza place started by owner Jim Connolly in 1969. Jim’s was the very first pizza restaurant in McKinney. Before he opened Jim’s Pizza he was a college student and a manager of a Richardson Pizza Inn. The late Ted Mann, a Mckinney businessman and owner of Manns Drive In, gave Jim the idea of opening a pizza restaurant in McKinney, which at the time only had about 15,000 residents.
Jim is a “hands on” owner who is accessible to customers, mainly because he is always there at the store doing everything. He is constantly making sure that the pizza is perfect and that his customers are satisfied. Jim credits his hard working nature to his father; and I credit my desire for perfection and hard work to my father, Jim. I think a great work ethic together with a great product is the recipe of Jims success. Many grown men come in with their families to eat and tell me stories about the old days when Jim gave them their first job. They also tell me what a good boss he was. Jim has employed over 500 McKinney residents in his 40 years of business.
In 2006 Jims Pizza was the winner of the first place award in the McKinney Courier-Gazettes Readers Choice Awards for “Best Pizza Restaurant.” And here we are tonight, in 2010 presenting The Small Business of the Year award To Jim. May he have many more years of great pizza ahead.
