NOTE: this review is for the Allison Park Mineos. I have not been to the Squirrel Hill location, which I can only hope is better than this, especially since the name has such recognition and good reputation. I had one disappointing visit to Mineos last year. A second visit confirms it. This restaurant is just barely okay. I will NOT be back. You go to a place for food, drink and atmosphere. Mineos strikes out on all three. The beer selection is limited at best, and largely cheap mainstream junk, with a few crafts at most. The beer was cold, so that's positive? The atmosphere is poor. You know how a nice bar will have a nice natural low-light atmosphere - and then when it is closing time, they'll turn on all the bright overhead lights? Mineos keeps it bright like that all the time. It ruins any vibe and makes it feel like your sitting in a Waffle House. The service is illogical consistently. Our group of three ordered meals and one appetizer to share. One guy's meal comes out first. Then 10 minutes later the appetizer. Then 10 minutes later another meal. 3rd guy still waiting. Nobody gets to eat at the same time, and there seems to be no comprehension by the kitchen nor the staff how a group of people would care to dine *together.* Oh, and the food. PLEASE tell me the original highly regarded Mineos doesn't serve this food or I've lost all faith in Pittsburghers' tastes. The pizza is just not that great. Note to restaurant: A huge amount cheese does not make up for bland dough, overly herbed jarred sauce and for the taste of the cheese itself. This pizza is about as good as what you'd get at an amusement park. The appetizer Provolone Wedge that we had was seriously terrible. Bland cheese in a way overcooked shell. Like over-fried to the point of being blackish. Luckily they took the time to sprinkle some herbs on the burned crust! And the Italian Hoagie. VERY light on the meat, which was low grade fatty lunch meat anyway, so maybe I should count my blessings. I'm still not sure what odd taste accompanied the hoagie either. Something in the lettuce, tomatoes or the Italian dressing? The bland generic bun didn't help. Oh and what the hell, I'll mention that I swear they might have watered down the ranch dressing that came with the french fries. The french fries were decent I must say, so if you like just french fries and cold Budweiser served in what feels like the Costco dining area, then by all means pay Mineos a visit. But seriously, if Mineos of Squirrel Hill is allowing their name to be associated with this place, then shame on them. read more

Many of you know my wife and I are pizza snobs. We try pizza from everywhere and bring you our unbiased reviews. Let me tell ya, this place is great. The place looks great and our server was so nice and sweet. We ordered our typical pepperoni pie and when it came out, we know it was going to be good. The cheese was a special blend of provolone. It was old-world good. Not that chain skim mozzarella. And it was on top of thick slices of pepperoni. The sauce and crust was homemade and fresh. If you don't know already, we loved it. The owner came out and was such a lovely person we had such a great time. I'm glad we went on my 60th birthday because we were treated like old friends. Run, don't walk to this place. We'll be back to try more of their food. I'm sure it will be like coming home. P.S. they have an all-glass back room that's a beautiful place for a date night. Hint hint read more

Poor service. I was given my dinner and my husband had to wait another 20 minutes until his came out. No apologies, no updates, no refilling our glasses. I let my food get cold because I didn't want to eat without him. My eggplant parm was meh. I've had frozen that was so much better. Too much cheese on everything. The woman who seated us just pointed to a hallway that lead to the kitchen area. We didn't know where she wanted us to go. How about walking us to the table like you're supposed to. read more

I haven't had Mineos's in a long time...five years. I was not overly impressed by my recent experience. It wasn't bad but it wasn't what I remembered after years of eating it. I drove 20 min each way to pick up on NYE afternoon....I won't be making that trip again for takeout. I'll try it once more in restaurant to see if it's different. It didn't have the old "wow" factor. read more

We really enjoy the pizza here. My wife is gluten free and she says their GF pizza is best she's ever had. It would be "5 Stars", but the wait times have been outrageous, and they need to refine their pickup system. They have to run up and down stairs to check on food and it gets really annoying... read more

Great pizza and holiday drink Enjoyable atmosphere Will return. We did go at off times so service was quick. read more

Standard Minneos Pizza - lots of cheese and meats under it. Had the Eggplant last week and was disappointed. Only 3 pieces and they were way over-cooked - dry and almost burnt. Then of course smothered needlessly with too much melted cheese. read more

Good pizza and now a location closer to home In the north hills! John's Special is good as plate their willingness to see slices. Indoor seating available with a broader menu. read more

Great crust , great sauce ..... cheese is heavy and pepperoni is thick . Less is more. Will order half cheese next time no pep. Otherwise great pie. read more

tried to order a pizza and pasta togo . 1. no one answers the phone . 2. get there and no one person wants to take an order . take out person says cant take orders go inside to do so . 3. how does a pizza shop at 5 pm on a sat not have pizza or get so mismanaged that cant take any orders . 4. not the first time this has happened to this location . this location is a true dissapointment . just wanted a pizza after my procedure sorry to say that you lost my business but never again read more

Some of the best Italian food in the area. Pizza is top notch. Sean the chef and one of the owners is the best!

Great classic pizza. Too bad it's not a little farther north up route 8. I'd go more.

Food is awesome and is so tasty! It's not a long wait, since it's a reasonable time. it's also very spacey inside.

Best pizza in Pittsburgh hands down! Friendly staff even though they are busy as heck. Hard to get through on phone but totally worth it. read more

Mineos Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Hampton Township, Pennsylvania

See all

The hostess, Lisa, who is greeting and seating everyone has a terrible attitude. she's short tempered and rude to customers. she has NO customer service or positivity. She gives dirty looks and is so snappy when seating you. We asked kindly to be seated somewhere else and she immediately snapped back with a short answer and terrible voice tone. People like this should not be working with people in the business world read more

Only had 2 subs so far, So far very good! The people in the take out have been so polite! Wow what a thing these days, So refreshing. Keep up the great work! I'll be back. read more

Just the best. Our favorite place to sit and eat. Try the calzones though the pizza is great.

I am writing this review just shed a little light on some things I've noticed being said. First, I am mot the manager of Mineo's, nor do I have the name, but I do work here, and I've been here from the soft openings, to the very first customer to walk through the doors. I am one of the Hostess, and I make it my mission to make sure everyone has an experience that'll make people want to come back. I am also in Takeout, and I try do the same. A lot of our employees are High Schoolers and aren't able to work all the time, so we tend to get backed up with orders EVEN THOUGH WE AREN'T VISUALLY BUSY. We have a 4% increase with card usage, and it is indeed by the hostess stand on a pole. I know it isn't super visible, but we do try to tel customers on the phone when they call, especially if they're new to our location. On behalf of the owners I want to apoptosis to those that did not like their visits and hope you will give us a chance to make it better, despite what may have happened initially. Have a great day, and hope to serve you again! read more

This place has good food but always a diaster to order from. Expect to wait 2x what they tell you and likely order will be messed up. They have 1 person handling phones and check out and getting food. After told would be 50 min wait was told another 45 min. Then they had to remake order. Did not order refund or anything for complete screwing it up either. read more

Food is excellent and so is the staff. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Prices are good for the portions you get. I'm

We had a phenomenal experience . The Pizza is truly incredible, the staff was right on point . The Owners were present and very friendly.Looking forward to my next experience there. read more

Tried this place two times. First time ordered an Italian hoagie and was disappointing. The sandwich was mostly bread with very little meat and additions. Second time tried a large pizza with sausage. The crust was undercooked, although they were generous with the cheese and sauce. They are pricey compared to other neighboring pizza shops. Overall, expected much more from Mineos based on all the hype I've heard on their other locations. I will not be returning. read more

Don't be fooled North Hills residence. This is not Mineos from squirrel Hill. This is merely Domino's in a Mineo's box too much cheese, cardboard crust, expensive and not worth the money. If you want Mineos, you're better off traveling to squirrel Hill because you're getting Domino's in a minos box ,Very very very disappointed not worth the money $40 for a large pizza that was with the tip and two toppings. What a sad place. read more

Wasn't impressed. Pizza was good, not great. Service was good. Pricey for a small 1 topping. Not like I remember in Squirrel Hill. Won't be returning. read more

Great old fashioned Italian food!! Very hot and plentiful and charming service. Also very crisp and fresh salad. We plan to go again soon.

worst pizza i've ever had. the parchment paper underneath was melted into the cheese on the slices. not only that but the cheese was so rubbery that it all slid off without even taking a bite. not worth the calories! read more

Don't go to this Mineos! Just stood there waiting for someone to seat us and no ever came to even recognize us. Five different employees looked right at us and never acknowledged us! read more

I was disappointing when we got the bill as if you use a credit card they charge extra. The waitress said it's posted on the door and at the hostess stand but it is not . read more

Pizza makers are short at this restaurant and waiting time is way too long for what you get. Pizza dough is chewy and flavor is uneventful. Overall one of the worst pizza's in Pittsburgh. read more

Ordered the Sicilian pizza and lasagna dinners and they were incredible! So glad to finally make it in to try it out. I will be back!

Wow!! Delicious food and great service. Martin was such a fabulous waiter, fun, down to earth and very fast. He is an asset to the business and made a great night even better. read more

Tried this for the first time and thought it would be good since of the reviews but I was wrong. The service to get a seat was fine but once we got our seats we ordered a appetizer and it never came because they thought we wanted 2 slices of pizza that we said we didn't want after thinking of ordering it. Once our pizza came out and tried to eat it we knew that this place was overrated. The crust was ok but the cheese and toppings fell off. It also took 40 minutes for it to come out. It's also a 4% extra if you use credit instead of cash. If your thinking of going here I wouldn't, there's many other pizza places that are way better than here. read more

My husband LOVES pizza and we've been wanting to check this location out for awhile. Since it's been open for quite a long time we figured they'd have the kinks worked out. So we drove 25 minutes on a Sunday evening to give it a try. We were seated at the last available table. Great- right? Nope! No one even acknowledged us after 15 minutes! So my husband went to the bar to inquire about who was supposed to wait on us. Once again, he was ignored. However, another guy walked up behind him a minute later and was served. Ughhh! My husband finally got the bartender's attention and asked him who was going to wait on us. He shrugged and walked away. WTH? We decide we'll wait a couple more minutes as we are really hungry for some good pizza and beer. Oh well, after a total of 22 minutes of being ignored we leave. Not a good way to get new customers. And I could assure you that if my husband liked the pizza and service we'd be back regularly. Not now! read more

Ordered John's special pizza. So good. We liked the sauce and crust was very good. A little expensive but worth it. We will order again

Exactly the same as the original. By far the best pizza in the north hills. Look forward to going back!

This place will not be in business much longer. I can only some it up as terrible. I've lived in Pgh for almost 30 years and I've heard about how amazing Mineo's is for decades. When one was opening up not far from our house in North Park, we we excited. Even though it got delayed due to COVID. We went there shortly after it opened. We chalked up the terrible food due to them being new, staff recruitment and having to work on the getting everything dialed in. After all, my friends have been raving about Mineo's for years. The food can't really be this bad. We waited several months to go back. The crowd was much smaller this time. We had the same server and unfortunately, the same quality of food. Served in no particular order. Disappointed is the only way to describe the food and service. We recently attempted a 3rd visit. I just don't get how they can make such terrible pizza and have so many loyalists. Pizza has so much cheese on it, you can't taste anything else. I love cheese but not an entire pizza wheel of it. Go to Bellisarios if you want great italian food and pizza. Don't waste your money Mineo's. read more

Visiting from out of town to my old hometown, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with family and friends at the newest Mineos location! Everything was scruptuous from the greens and beans to amazing Italian sausage pizza. Like the food, the "What's a Matta You" brew was full of flavor. And the hospitality was exquisite! They treated us like family! What a fun-filled, delicious experience! Thank you!! read more
