Leanna, our server, was professional, friendly, helpful and informative. She gave us some history and background of the building. She suggested beer flavors for us and let us sample before ordering.

The bartenders are always…read morefriendly, attentive, and happy to offer suggestions for cocktails, which is something we have always appreciated. On our recent visit, we ordered the cheese pizza and were surprised to learn that the cheese blend includes provolone. Unfortunately, we are not fans of the sharper flavor, so it was not a good fit for us. That said, we absolutely loved the crust and the way the pizza was cooked. If not for the provolone, it would have been a home run. One area where I think there is room for improvement is pricing. While we understand that costs have gone up, some items felt a bit expensive. For example, I just cannot justify spending $17 on tiramisu. Overall, this is a charming neighborhood restaurant with good food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I am interested to see what the new ownership brings and wish them success as they begin this next chapter.

We've…read moregiven this place four chances, hoping each visit would be better, but unfortunately this last experience will probably be our final one. The food has been mediocre at best, especially considering the prices. On my most recent visit, I ordered the ravioli and received three large ravioli for $17. The sauce arrived piping hot, but the filling inside the ravioli was cold. Overall, it tasted more like something that had been frozen and reheated than a freshly prepared dish. My husband ordered the antipasto salad, and the ham was noticeably gray and tasted off. We sent it back because it didn't seem right and it ended up upsetting his stomach. To be fair, he had ordered the same salad on a previous visit and enjoyed it, so this may have simply been an off night. The bright spot was the manager, who handled the situation professionally. She apologized, offered to make my husband something else, even as a to-go order, and removed the salad from our bill when he declined. We appreciated her response and customer service. Unfortunately, one good interaction isn't enough to outweigh the overall experience. The drinks have never impressed us given the prices, and the food has consistently fallen short of expectations. We truly wanted this to become one of our regular neighborhood spots because of its convenient location, but we've decided it's just not a place we'll be returning to.

I'm giving my overall experience four stars. The male employee bringing out the pizzas was…read moredismissive and gave me inaccurate information when I asked questions about the buffet. This was very disappointing, especially as a first-time customer who could have potentially become a regular. I wanted to learn more about the buffet, specifically whether customers could request additional classic or specialty pizzas that weren't being brought out due to the limited buffet space. As Jasmine handed me my pickup order and the other associate headed to the back I asked her the same question. Jasmine was friendly, helpful, and explained that customers could request additional classic and specialty pizzas. This was completely different from the information I had received from the male employee. On a positive note, I did enjoy the overall atmosphere of the establishment. I was pleasantly surprised by the pepperoni and cinnamon dessert pizzas. When the pizzas come out fresh from the oven they're flavorful and the crust has a nice crunch. The pepperoni pizza has a good hint of spice, and the cheese has that satisfying cheese pull. One thing I would recommend is eating the pizzas as soon as possible. After returning home after just 30 minutes, I noticed that the crust became hard fairly quickly. Considering the prices, you want to enjoy every bite while the pizza is fresh. Note: I'm not sure why the buffet isn't offered on weekends 11AM-2PM. As someone who frequently visits Cici's pizza buffets, I felt Mountain Mike's catered more toward adults given the high prices and limited hours of the buffet only on weekdays. There is a game area, but it feels more like a small addition when children actually show up.

Based on previous reviews, I didn't expect great customer service, so that was expected. The…read morereviews matched the lukewarm welcome/attitude, I also received. I arrived at 11, but they were not open. Google shows their hours as 10 to 10; it would be nice to have those hours updated. They unlocked the doors around 11:10, and there were no apologies for those of us who were waiting, but again, I didn't expect quality customer service. As someone mentioned in their review, there was a bug sitting in the corner next to the cash register. That's not a sight you want to see before ordering your food or even, at a place where you plan to dine. Outside of that, the restaurant was very clean and well-put together. With my pepperoni pizza, I ordered their garlic knots. Pepperoni Pizza: It was light on the sauce and cheese, but I do wish there was more cheese. I really liked the pepperoni, they weren't your typical pepperoni slices. The pizza was okay, it wasn't anything I'd rave about. Also, a small size could feed three people, depending on their appetites. They do offer an individual-sized pizza, a "personal pan", as it may be called somewhere else. Garlic Knots: These won the show for me, I loved them! They were buttery, soft, and full of garlic and cheese. I have a location that's a lot closer to where I live; if I'm ever in the mood for just garlic knots, they'll be on my list. For those who enjoy catching a game or two, this is the perfect spot. Beer, pizza, and game time!

Always have had great service. The owner Al really does a great job of hearing the customers concerns and taking care of them. The delivery time is almost always quoted within 5 to 10 minutes accuracy. I've only seen them get busier and busier over the last 2 YEARS I have been dining here.

They've been using their dough recipe for over 60 years! They use family recipes for pepperoni, sausage, & meatballs. They also use Wisconsin-Aged Smoked Provolone. I loved my CHICKEN SPINACH MOZZARELLA individual pizza. Olive oil was nice in place of red sauce. This pizza had mozzarella plus their Wisconsin provolone which does not taste heavy on the smoked flavor so don't let that deter you. I enjoyed the touch of garlic flavor - so fresh.

The slice was HUGE; a quarter of a 16" pie, I believe and just $5. The crust was thin with a nice crunch and great chew! It had a good amount of cheese and enough tasty sauce; though I would appreciate a smidge more sauce. Beni is a heck of a nice guy and is from Atlantic City, NJ.
