    Welp, not my favorite pizza by any means but it has its pros. For one, you can order online and the process was really easy. Second, it was a Saturday night and the pick up time was only thirty minutes which is pretty fast considering it was on the weekend. I can also say that it was really affordable. We ordered a salad, some wings, and a large half pep, half cheese pizza. The pizza is where Minelli's missed the mark. The salad is what you'd expect and my friend really enjoyed the wings. The pizza on the other hand, was a mess. It was over cooked and the crust was so hard to bite, I really had to chew to get through. It was really bland and I wasn't a huge fan of their cheese. I also didn't like that the pizza was so yellow/orange. It was just eh. Overall, three solid stars. I wouldn't order the pizza again but maybe some of their other options.

    I ordered a pickup while on this side of town. I was really impressed. I grew up on Minelli's Pizza, the Sullivant Ave location. I was unsure of ordering this time due to about 9 months ago I was over and my son had ordered a pizza at his house and it was terrible, but I gave it another try. The young lady who checked me out was so nice and courteous. The pizza looked so good when I looked at it in my truck, that I had to try a piece of both. It was delicious! I pretty much ate my dinner driving home. I will be stopping by again when I am back on that side of town. In my opinion, it tastes much better fresh and hot than delivered or reheated!

    I want to give them a higher rating, but after going twice a 3 is where I stand for now. First pizza had the same toppings minus the jalapeño and it was fantastic. Greta crunch and flavor, but this second pizza wasn't cooked enough. Little to not crunch, and it just didn't look that great. I will go back for a third time, but just adding some jalapeños should not make a significant difference in quality of a pizza. If so, they should know to bake it longer. The pizza in the picture was the yeasty one.

    Decided to check this place out for carryout tonight. Ordered a large 1/2 pepperoni and mushrooms, 1/2 mushrooms and green peppers.Also got some garlic bread and the cannoli's. The pizza crust was a little over cooked. They use Ezzo's pepperoni which is the Cadillac of pepperoni's. The Garlic bread was cooked a little too long also, it had a great taste though and the dipping sauce was excellent. I think I will have to give them another try, they've been in business for many years and you don't do that without having a quality product. There is an enormous amount of cool pictures and memorabilia. I could come back just so I could talk about it. The cannoli's were very fresh and had a nice cream to go with the crunchy cannoli shells. Yummmy.

    So, this is my second time in a week I've craved a big huge salad, the anti-pasta salad is perfecto!! So fresh, crisp, tons of great flavored meats. They put it in a pizza box which allows you to open it for everyone to get some. Husband loved the boneless wings with Buffalo sauce and the bacon & cheese fries. The garlic bread with cheese is perfectly soft and juicy, not hard. I also got a small kids spaghetti with meatball, which is a perfect size for me, so delicious. We totally recommend and will continue to visit.

    Second time I've tried Minelli's. I thought it was truly terrible the last time I had it, but people kept swearing by it so I thought I'd get it again. 14in pepperoni. Cornmeal crust feels cheap. It's like thin crust dominoes, but with a bit more crunch. Sauce actually has a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Not much taste to the cheese. I ate until full but threw it out after. And I never throw out pizza. I certainly don't hope this mom and pop shop closes by any means, but I don't understand how it's stayed alive with all the great options in Columbus.

    Good pizza, good meatball subs and good wings. The wings are not tossed in sauce. The meat pizza is better than the pepperoni alone

We…read morespent over $80 on a to-go order that included two Gina's Gem, a big cheese pizza, and a salad. The pizza arrived cold but was still edible. Unfortunately, the Gina's Gem was nothing like what was advertised. I was expecting warm, crusty bread with a roasted cheese dip on the side so you could tear pieces of bread and dip them into the cheese. Instead, the cheese had already been spread directly onto the bread and toasted together. Because of that, the bread lost the texture you would expect--it wasn't crusty or dippable at all. It ended up soft, almost soggy, and the cheese was baked onto the bread rather than being a dip. The whole appeal of the dish was supposed to be the warm bread with the roasted cheese to dip into, and that part was completely missing. Included with the bread was a hot honey that missed the mark on being "hot" and some kind of jam. These options just made everything even more soft....which should have been impossible. The salad was actually the best part of the meal - even though it was a bit spicy. I've always had good experiences here in the past, so this was a big letdown--especially for the price. I just wish the to-go version of the dish matched how it's described, or that expectations were set correctly when ordering. Unfortunately, this experience made me lose all trust in ordering from here again. I can't believe we waited until exactly 3pm (when they opened) to order this.... At the very least the pizza should have been hot.

The food does take some time, so be ready to wait and maybe grab a drink while you hang out. The pizza was really good, but definitely on the heavier side. Wings were decent.

The kind of spot where you expect a solid beer and maybe some decent bar food. What you don't expect? One of the best Detroit-style pizzas of your life hiding behind a window in the back like some carb-based speakeasy. And when I say hidden, I mean hidden. No flashy signage. No "best pizza in town" ego. Just a quiet little window cranking out square pies that deserve a standing ovation. I ordered the classic red top -- already a bold move -- and added pesto because balance matters and I like to live a little. The result? Beyond reproach. Fresh, loaded toppings. Sauce with depth. And that crust... that beautiful Detroit crust. Crispy edges with that caramelized cheese halo, but still chewy and pillowy inside. The textural contrast is what separates amateurs from legends -- and this? This was legend-level execution. Easily top 3 Detroit-style pizzas I've had. And that's not a casual statement. If you don't understand the life-altering power of true Detroit-style pizza, I regret to inform you... you have not been living. Go find the window in the back. Trust me.
