The first Jerry's Subs opened in Wheaton, Maryland, in 1954, selling over-stuffed submarine sandwiches and New York-style pizza. Since it started franchising in 1980, the company has grown to include locations along the East Coast, as well as in the Caribbean and Central America.
Today’s Garlic Jim’s is the evolution of our revolutionary idea. Great-tasting pizza delivered quickly. We’ve perfected the art of making affordable gourmet pizza and delivering it as quickly as the big pizza chains.
In fact, in 2004 Garlic Jim’s was the first pizza chain to deliver a pesto and artichoke pizza in under 30 minutes. And we pioneered gluten-free pizza in 2008 and have one of the best gluten-free crusts in the industry. Now everyone can have the amazing pizza they deserve.
And our brand new concept of Neapolitan pizzas made in front of you is a real game-changer! Less than five minutes to have your own, personal 9″ pizza ready-to-eat! That combined with our proven delivery and carry-out model can’t be beat!
We’re looking for some good people to join us and take advantage of a great opportunity…making delicious affordable gourmet pizza and running a thriving business.
Our footprint is small, the investment is affordable, and with our proven business model, there is always the potential for growth in the ever-expanding 40 billion dollar pizza industry.
