Jimmy’s Sausage Flatbread @ Bolsa
Bolsa is an extremely interesting affair. Part bar/restaurant/market all mashed up into a renovated yet respectful installation in the historic Settles Garage just west of Bishops Arts District. The building is quite beautiful, with elements of the old mixed with more modern fixtures. In the cool evening the place transforms into one big patio, opening the giant bar windows and garage doors and allowing the breeze to flow through the establishment. I guarantee that even if you don’t like the food, the architecture of this establishment will impress you with originality and uniqueness.
Fortunately the food was great too! I’m all about pizza and the different forms it can take. Variations on sauce, toppings, or bread. Thin or thick. Warm or cold. It’s all lovely to me, so when I saw that Bolsa had Flatbread/Pizza on their menu, I immediately knew what I was going to order. Another notable thing about Bolsa is that everything they serve is fresh and locally grown. No fryers or freezers. I like that.
All the flatbread variations looked delicious but I had to settle on the sausage and pepper variety. I immediately noticed that it was called ‘Jimmy’s’ and wondered if that referred to Jimmy’s Italian Market in Dallas, because it seemed to fit (local ingredients). My suspicions were then confirmed when I overheard one of the owners who had been walking around the patio and checking in on the patrons, mention that fact to a customer. So I definitely knew it was going to be good, Jimmy’s is great.
The flatbread did not disappoint. It was quite a big portion, about the size of a medium pizza, thin and full of flavors. The sauce was a tad sweet, but was offset nicely by the spicyness of the sausage and peppers. It made for a great combination. The mozzarella was melted in white gooey pools, all over the pizza, and the whole combination was a perfect package of meat, cheese and bread. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of food, and when coupled with the great atmosphere, architecture, and patio, made my trip to Bolsa into a great night out.
Also if you are looking for a quality cocktail to compliment your patio dining, let me recommend the watermelon margarita: Patron, fresh muddled watermelon juice and a dash of sweet and sour. Simple, yet one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time.
Go check out Bolas and their patio before nature decides put a hiatus on our outdoor dining here in Texas.

I was just there Saturday night and had the same pizza. Delicious. We also shared the bruschetta.
May I recommend the black and blue mojito? It was so good I was digging for the alcohol laced blueberries in the bottom of my glass. Next time though, I’m going to request them to make it light on the ice.
You beat me to it! That’s on my short list and I’m dying to go. Not today, I guess, since it’s raining like crazy.
man i’m a big fan of this because it’s not just a big puddle of cheese. i like anything that lets the carby-ness of the dish shine through!
