First time at Mike's Pizza and now I understand why people rave about this place. Thin crust, slightly chewy, crispy on the bottom, high heat oven does its job. Flavor combos were on point across the board. Coming back when I've got more time to actually sit and enjoy it. read more

We ordered from here based on the reviews. We arrived and placed our pizza order. Hubby walked to the bar side of the restaurant to check it out. I saw an order of garlic knots being taken to another customer and had to go right back to the counter to add some to my takeout. Hubby has now decided that we're bringing some friends here from out of state before we've even tried anything. We got home and immediately got a slice and a knot. The slice was delicious. The crust was tasty, soft on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside. The lemon ricotta was delicious. It felt like it was missing something to kick it up a notch. Maybe roasted red peppers. The knots were definitely garlicky. Wow! The marinara it came with was delicious too. Personally it was a little too much garlic and butter for me but the texture was soft and fluffy. They were spicy from the amount of garlic. I will definitely order again but will try them plain next time. I want to try the meatballs with another pizza next time. Hubby is right; our friends will absolutely love the place. Great food and a laid back atmosphere make this place great for a small get together with friends. One thing that I noticed was the guys that are making the crust are absolutely covered from head to toe in flour. They are for sure working hard on that crust and they do a great job. Can't wait to go back and this is a must go if you're looking for a delicious pie. read more

1st time customer here. I had the Ceasar salad and Il Pepe Pizza which both were outstanding. It's everything else that made me not want to come back. The bar is separate from the food and its separate purchases. The restaurant also has a stark contrast between dim moody lighting around the bar to sterile almost garage lighting over the restaurant tables which KILLS the cool vibe of the other side. Once seated, you go up and order what you want. They ask for tip when you purchase your food, and I did not tip. It is the same as fast food. You order yourself, you have to grab your own silverware and napkins, you go to the bar when you're ready to order drinks although sometimes they do come around. I assumed I pay for food and tip for service at the end? I made a mistake by that I guess because the pizza actually took 45mins to an hour to come out. I went up to the bar to order drinks, they were served with no eye contact or words even spoken. Date & I planned to eat the first pizza with some drinks, chill, then order another to nibble and take home. By the time the 1st came out we were STARVING and already had a few drinks on an empty stomach. Even a group of 4 beside us came in, ate, and left before we even could!! We just ate the pizza, tipped $30 for the bar tab/service which wasn't great, and left. If you like your server, which I did, you realize after that you actually tipped bar service and not even your server. It is so confusing. The food is very good and the staff seem nice enough people; however the concept is confusing. You're doing things yourself, but being asked to tip twice. If you don't tip the first time, the food service is obviously aware. Overall, it was not the night out I would have liked. Combined with the weird hours this is not sustainable. Good pizza and alcohol shouldn't be this hard... read more

One of my favorite pizza spots in Ohio. The three-day fermented dough is chewy with crispy edges. The pepperoni and mozzarella are top tier. Staff is all very friendly. Love this spot! read more

Mike's Pizza - Pepe Picante - Pizza Near Me - Canton, Ohio

Very good pizza. Lots of flavor and seems to use high quality ingredients. As reviews have mentioned, the prices are a little higher than average, most pizzas are $21 or more. My only minor complaint is the beers from the wood shop are not great and very small selection of beers. Otherwise, mikes pizza is fantastic! read more

It's a cool concept that really works. It basically takes the space used for deli Ohio during the day, and turns it into a pizza place with the adjoining brewery to use the space in the evenings. You order food at the counter and it's brought out. The pizzas were good. There's a good size parking lot right across the street and the servers were great. It does take probably a solid 20-30 min to get your pizza, so if you're trying to go quick, this is more of a have a drink and appetizer then your pizza ambience type of setting. read more

Met up with some friends on a Friday night at 6:30 and the place was packed. We were told it would be about an hour to an hour and fifteen minute wait for the pizza. A table was ready in about 15 minutes. In the meantime we had looked over the menu and placed our order at the counter as advised by the hostess to help "speed things up." We sat at our table and I found the water station so I helped myself to that. Not sure if we were supposed to or not but really never had a waitress so I figured it was fair game. A waitress from the bar side of the restaurant came by to see if we wanted any drinks. I'm not completely sure if this is two separate restaurants working together or just sharing space. We got our garlic knots and our friends got their salads about 20-25 minutes after we sat down. The pizza came about 30 minutes later. The garlic knots weren't what I was expecting. More like dough rolls smothered in a garlic butter. They had a nice garlic flavor and came with a basic marinara. They were ok. We ordered the special Hall of Famer and the Dude. Pizzas only come in one size so we had leftovers to take home. The Hall of Famer was the better of the two in my opinion. It had more flavor than the Dude. Our friends ordered the Il Pepe. They liked it. I wouldn't be running back for more but it wasn't a wasted trip either. For me it just could have been better. It was a great spot for us to meet up with friends we hadn't seen in a while because it gave us lots of time to chat and catch up. We were actually about the last ones to leave at closing. The highlight of the evening was a surprise show. Some young Irish dancers showed up and did a dance for everyone. It was very festive. We lucked out by being in the right place at the right time. read more

Our order: 2 pizzas, a caesar salad, garlic knots, and 2 cans of soda. Price - In my opinion, quite STEEP, $70 plus tip for all items listed above. Staff - Friendly. Wait time - Long. We ordered and got a table as soon as we walked in the door. However, it took 1 hour and 15 mins to receive our pizza after placing our order. They said they told us that, I assure you they did not. However, the salad and knots came out super quick. Caesar Salad - 10/10, dressing is homemade and I loved it! My husband thought it had too much lemon, but that is just his personal preference. Garlic knots - 10/10, super garlicky, rolls were soft on the inside, so good! Pepe' Piccante Pizza - super disappointing that the jalepeños weren't cooked (which the menu did not specify) and literally just fell off the pizza sticking to nothing. January special Frankie Five Angels - I enjoyed the topping combo. Personally, I wouldn't pay this price and wait 1 hour plus. The pizza wasn't my favorite, but pizza is highly subjective as everyone has different preferences on sauce, dough, etc. I will say, all ingredients used were high quality and I loved the apps! I may go back for apps again and try the meatballs too! Give it a shot, just maybe don't go on a Friday night or just be prepared for a very long wait. read more

Like a lot of reviews have mentioned, this place has a pretty cool concept of taking over Deli Ohio's space for the weekend and making it into a pizza restaurant. My friend and I went here on a whim, got La Bianca pizza, a white pizza with lemon ricotta. Our wait time was average, and the service was very friendly! They checked in on us, asking if we'd want any of their craft beers, and also asking how everything was once the food arrived. The menu is simple, just pizza. The prices are a bit steep, with one pizza coming up to around 21 dollars. So if you're feeding a lot, that price might be something to consider. Even their sauces are an extra $1 dollar. Overall, this place was nice, good atmosphere and welcoming staff. But, the pizza wasn't overly amazing or anything I hadn't seen before with that kind of pricing. I would recommend, but not a number one pick if you're just looking for pizza in the area. read more

My husband and I recently dined at this establishment and were blown away by the quality of the food and hospitality of the owner and bartender. We ordered the meatballs for an appetizer and they were top notch. The lemon ricotta that comes with them is perfection and completely enhances an already excellent dish. Our pizza had the freshest ingredients and was cooked to perfection! The owner came by and checked in on our experience. The bartender was friendly and helpful with drink selections. The atmosphere is casual and laid back. We can't wait to return! read more

This was quite literally the best pizza I've had in my life. I am now the town crier for this restaurant. Every person I've talked to has now heard that Mikes Pizza has the best pizza in Ohio. The service was excellent, the ambiance was amazing and the drinks were great! Can't wait to go back I'm going to be thinking about this pizza for like months. read more

Hands down best pizza in the area!! Worth going across town for. Heard about Mike's on Instagram. Ordered to go , but place has a cool vibe so we stayed and ate at the bar. Amazing thin crust NY style, not typically found in Ohio. read more

I really like this place, been there 3 times and the pizza is good and the staff is very pleasant, the atmosphere is pretty basic but that's fine with me. The only complaint I have is that they overcook a lot of the pizzas, it's happened to me once and I see the pizzas go by as they are being delivered to the tables and many of them have burnt crusts (not well done im talking black crust) it doesn't ruin the entire pizza but I think if they would back off the oven time a few minutes it would eliminate this issue. read more

There's so many pizza places and most of them blend together into a big pile of mediocre-ness, so it's refreshing to find a pizza joint that sets itself apart. I've had a lot of pizza in my time in many, many states and from many, many places. Most of it was forgettable and largely a waste of money. Mikes Pizza is hands down some of the best pizza you will eat. Anywhere. It's fresh, literally and metaphorically. It's not mass produced schlock. It's located downtown Canton in a great building and space. The staff is friendly and the place is clean and has good vibes: from the music, to the way the place feels and operates. Get the meatballs. They're the best meatballs. The IL Pepe' was my favorite of the four pizzas we got when we came in. There's a lot of exciting things around the corner for Mikes Pizza and I'm excited to see where it leads them. Check them out! read more

The wife and I drove from Michigan to try this pizza, with a side visit to the family. First off, the pizza was delicious. It has ruined pizza for me in my hometown in Michigan. All right, so when you walk in you're greeted by a dough-y, garlic aroma. This leads you around a corner where you're presented with the smiling faces of the staff banging out their pizzas. It was a pleasure to see how much fun the staff was having while being inundated with orders. We sat at the attached brewery, The Woodshop, located in the back of the building. The beer there was fantastic. I had a pale ale, an ESB, and a double pils, all top notch. Now back to the pizza. We ordered garlic knots (before they sold out), the Pepe' Piccante, the Ms. Ross, and The Grinch. The crust for all of the above food items was perfection. It was crisp in all the right places while maintaining an airy chew in the center. The red sauce was fresh and had a hint of vibrant tartness that complimented the gooey cheese and fresh toppings. One thing in particular I appreciated was the use of fresh jalapeños on the Pepe, none of that pickled/jarred shenanigans. The sausage on the Ms. Ross popped with just the right amount of fennel and pepper. And something that really blew my mind was the garlic ricotta cream on The Grinch. Holy smokes, I was not expecting such a rich and creamy texture, and pair that with the spinach and artichokes, oh boy, you have one damn fine pizza. Mike, the owner, is a delight and treasure. If you get a chance to say hello to him, you should. And thank him for sharing his gift of pizza artistry with us. If you're in the Canton area, or are looking for fantastic pizza no matter the distance, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to Mike's Pizza. Cheers! read more

This was my second trip to Mike's and without a doubt my first experience with their pizza was outstanding. One of the best pizzas I'd ever had so I was excited to go back. Second trip, ordered two pizzas for take out and once home discovered that they were significantly overcooked. Crust was burned, cheese & toppings were brown, chewy and dried out. I called to let the restaurant know and was told that NY style pizza is supposed to be that way. Ironically I happen to be from NY and no, NY style pizza is NOT supposed to "be that way" A crisp crust but not overcooked to the point where the crust and toppings are like eating chewy shoe leather. Having had one great pizza there, which I readily acknowledged to "Natalie," it would have been nice if "Natalie" could have taken accountability that the pie was simply not up to their standards instead of trying to tell me it was "supposed to be that way." I was told that the next time I come in, I should drop her name to whoever and they'd "make it right." She might have also taken my name. In any case, I won't be back simply due to the lack of concern shown by "Natalie" over my ruined pies. I'll spend the $50 elsewhere. read more

IMO, there is no pizza in the Canton area that even comes close. I've tried every pizza around, and after Demico's left town, my pizza consumption plummeted. It was so frustrating that there was no great pizza here, but now thanks to Mike and his staff, there is. read more

My new top two favorite! Ok...I was skeptical about rave reviews with only three reviews but o decided to try it. Let me tell you they were on point! I am a mom and regular people type customer. No BS. They are my top two. The other being Sbarro but this has soooooo much more intentional flavor combinations. HIGHLY recommended! Try it once and you'll be hooked. Guaranteed if you like NY style pizza! Great for "First Fridays" and Football Hall of Fame events or visitors. read more

There is great pizza here at Mike's! I live in LA and travel often to NYC. Finding great pizza is a hobby for our family. We have tried many places and many types of pizza. Work has brought me to Canton and I started looking for a good pizza, not expecting to be impressed. I used Yelp and looked at the photos posted to identify pies that had a nice appearing crust with that hint of char that I like. Mike's pizzas on photo checked that box. So off I went to their spot that opened recently on Walnut Ave. I ordered the Il Pepe which is their pepperoni pizza with aged and fresh mozzarella cheese, pecorino cheese and fresh basil leaves. As you can see the pizza is very photogenic! The outer crust had that crispy exterior that gives the audible and tactile crunch. The interior was chewy chewy good. I was impressed by the thin crispy under crust that easily supported the sauce and cheese when pickled up. Also crisp. Not soggy. I loved the sauce and cheese flavors. The basil crisped up and added the unique aroma and taste is this herb. I was amazed. To find pizza this good anywhere is difficult. I pinched myself to think that my work brought me to Canton and I have found a holy grail of a pizza here. Wow! The place opened recently. They will be a brewery opening in the same space soon. Pizza this good deserves a line going out the door, which is what happens to great spots in Los Angeles. I will be back. Do yourself a favor and try this place. read more

Mike's Pizza - Amazing pepperoni with fresh basil At Mikes Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Canton, Ohio

Nobody's doing pizza better than Mike's anywhere in the state. Pizzeria DiLauro up in Bainbridge is probably the second best in the state, but there's a pretty large gap between the two. If you order it to go and take it home to enjoy with family and friends it will be the best pizza you've ever had in Ohio. But, do yourself a favor go down to the restaurant with some friends, order a pie or three, grab a drink from Unhitched, and enjoy yourself while you wait 15 minutes to have your mind blown. I love pizza and it's probably my favorite food, but this is the reason you eat pizza, to find a place that does it as well as Mike's. I'd even go as far as to say you could close your eyes and pick your pizza and it will be the best you've had in the Midwest. It's a 9.1 pizza read more

Pizza was great and easy to park. Bar area is separate. Cool set up. Waitress was friendly.

Welcomed at the door! Nice atmosphere, the employees were very polite, and the PIZZA was delicious!! We will for sure be back thanks

The pizza here was delicious and the service was pretty quick. Nice tasty thin pizza.

This by far is the best pizza in Canton, Ohio. Mike and his staff are great people! This business model incorporates two of my favorite things... PIZZA and Craft Beer! The Woodshop barrel fermented brewing project (by Unhitched Brewing) is directly attached! The staff of both are top notch and deliver a great experience always. Stop in try some ZA and a sour beer like the Arquebus or From Weckage! Enjoy! read more

No pizza around here compares. Awesome pizza...I don't like crust normally but this was different and so good. It shares a spot with Woodshop brewery if you would want an alcoholic drink. Very nice and clean. We will definitely be back! read more

Have been to Mike's twice and they nailed it both times! Excellent pizza and friendly service. They operate in the Ohio Deli space, so it's a deli until 2:00 and then Mike's takes over at 3:00. Unhitched Brewery from Louisville opened an "Outpost" bar so there's good suds to wash down your pizza too. Based on what seems to be a very successful opening, I won't be surprised to see them expand their hours of operation beyond the current four days a week (Wed-Sat). May also need to add another oven as the wait time during peak hours is the only negative. read more
