    Slice of cheese and two slices of pepperoni.
    Jeremy B.

    1/3/25 Ate List: Slice of Pepperoni - Score 5.8 Slice of Cheese - Score 5.7 Aware this is a "Pittsburgh institution" when it comes to pizza. I will respect that and the opinion of those that feel that way. But it's not "worth any hype" for me. The "institution" itself I love - cash only, can order by the Slice, nice old-school ambiance. The pizza itself though is pretty middle of the road. Very crispy on the crust, good cheese, oil accumulating circle pepperoni, and a specific red sauce that felt below average. I respect the place. But if we were to say Pittsburgh has amazing pizza, this should not be mentioned.

    I think getting a whole pie is the move here. We grabbed a few slices and they were quite bad -- the crust tasted old or like it was lacking a standard ingredient -- not at all enjoyable. We also got a few half-baked pies to go and those cooked up great. If we come back we will get a whole pie vs. slices.

    Crust all homemade and good. A little crunchy . Cheese is amazing. We ordered the John's special and two half baked pepperoni to go back to Cincinnati Great bar and service but we didn't drink alcohol

    Inside calzone

    It's a well known Pittsburgh pizza classic. Maybe the most well known place in Pittsburgh by some estimates. It's natural I had to give it a try at some point. I decided to order a regular cheese calzone (small size) and a chocolate dipped cannoli. To be honest, I was pretty underwhelmed. There really wasn't anything all that special about this place. The calzone size was decent, but sauce didn't have a ton of flavor. Cheese was also pretty standard but they included a fair amount of it (mozzarella or provolone and ricotta, both good). But, as you can see in the photo, the outside was dusted in a ton of flour. It didn't seem fully cooked. It felt like a calzone with some sort of weird topping. Not the best. The cannoli was pretty good. It was a good size, although price wasn't very cheap, it wasn't expensive either. The inside of the cannoli was great. I'm pretty sure they make these in house, which is nice for sure. All in all, just a standard pizza shop. Not the best calzone experience. Way too much flour dusting. Cannoli was solid.

    We finally decided to try this pizza joint that everyone & their sister has been recommending since we announced we were moving here 2 years ago. It wasn't the best pizza we've had here (this would be more a 3 1/2 star review, if possible!), but it was pretty good. WAY too much cheese on the white pizza, but it was flavorful. We added roasted peppers & tomatoes (really odd - we couldn't find the actual charge for these add-ons on the menu). We stopped in - on the bar side (there appears to be 3 separate areas in which to dine - one resembles seats at a McDonalds, another is more general dining room, & then there's the busier bar area) - and decided the lack of ambiance & any of our preferred beer choices meant we'd get our pizza to go. The 1st bartender to come over acted like we had 3 heads when we asked for a beer list. She pointed to a chalk board w/ the draft list & then said, "Just tell me a name (of a beer), & I'll tell u if we have it in bottle." ‍ Not playing that game - & deciding this wasn't the place to get a glass of wine (no names on a short "wine types" list), we opted for a summer spritzer special drink. The elderflower & citrus mix was quite refreshing. The 2nd server/bartender to take our order was quite pleasant - thank goodness. All in all, it was a decent experience. Not sure we'd go back, though.

    It has been so long since I've been to or eaten Mineo's. We went on a Saturday night around 7 and to my surprise it was fairly empty. Also to my surprise, street parking was easy as we got a spot right out front. We ordered the plain pizza and pepperoni. Everything came out pretty quickly. The pizza is SO good! The cheese is just absolutely amazing tasting. I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 for the cleanliness but its really exactly what you expect a pizza shop to look like. My daughter and her friends had a great time hanging out. Its a good spot for kids. I would love to not make it another 10 years until I stop back in!

    This was our first time at Mineo's. As everyone told us, this place is a gem. We had two pizzas, a 16" cheese and a 12" pepperoni and sausage. When they add in-house made Italian sausage, we learned it bakes a little longer. Both pies were really good. The sauce is a bit sweet (which we like) and both are loaded with high-quality cheese. The pepperoni and sausage were incredible. Tiny bit of spice in the pep and slight sweetness to the sausage. The crust was perfect on the cheese pizza. Yet, the crust on the pep/sausage pizza was a bit "moist" just before you get to the end crust. It was distracting and made the pie seem undercooked, yet it was obviously properly baked. Folks warned us to let them set for a minute to save from burning our mouths. So true. We didn't and we did. Plenty of seating; two big rooms. The place got hopping around 6P. Parking is always dependent on timing, yet we had no problem (public lot just across the street...cross corner-ish). Friendly service. Quick turnaround. Highly recommend.

    I had really high hopes for this pizza. I've had people tell me about this place since I've moved to Pittsburgh years ago. My mother sent me an article saying that this pizza place was one of the best in Pittsburgh. Finally I decided to give it a try. to my utter disappointment, as many other Pittsburgh places have done in the past, this Pizza was not good. The crust was cooked to perfection but flavorless. No salt, no sugar, just cardboard. Toppings are under the cheese, but there's WAY too much cheese. The layer of cheese is thicker than the crust and was also flavorless. Not even salty. Felt like I bit into a block of melted mozerella. There's not nearly enough sauce, but with the layer of cheese being an inch thick, the crust would crack under the pressure. It was a grease pool. Unfortunately I'd rather go to dominoes

    Johnny's special and a regular tradition pizza. Crust was crisp. Sauce was good and the cheese was really good. Solid is pizza I will be back.

    Stop 16 of pizza passport and first time here. A lot of hype prior but can't say anything wowed me. Standard counter service. The crust was decent but a little soggy when lifted. Cheese and sauce fine but thin layer of it. There's lots of standout pizzas around that I was exposed to make it a priority to come back

    Mineos is nostalgic to me. Both of my parents grew up in Squirrel Hill. My grandparents lived right up the road. It was a standard growing up to head to Mineos to get a pie. We decided to sit on the OG side for old times sake. Boy, those booths have welcomed me for decades. The pizza is always delicious. Super loaded with cheese (my favorite) and always ready for a big cheese pull. The sauce is savory. The crust is thin so when it's locked and loaded it might be a little floppy but I think it adds to the charm. Also, sometimes I get out a fork and knife (sacrelig I know) just so I don't miss a single piece of cheese. I will say, which ever side you order your pie from - ie the original booth side or the bar side- is where you will sit. So plan on ordering where you decide to plop down. Wash it all down with a @turnerspgh lemonade and call it a #GOUDapproved day.

    Large Pepperoni and Mushrooms.  Notice cheese coverage.
    Michael D.

    Have tried the Squirrel Hill location but this is the first time at Allison Park. First very happy with the pizza. The crust was excellent and cheese coverage was perfect. Check out the picture. We had pepperoni and mushrooms, not a huge fan of canned prefer fresh, but the slices were sumptuous. We also got a salad and was very pleased with ingredients. Good lettuce not ice berg, red onions, black olives and peppers. Great salad.

    I went on a trip to Pittsburgh to find the absolute best pizza in the area. I tried 15+ places in the area that I was told were the best, but in the end Mineo's reigned supreme as my .#1. The cheese, the sauce, the crust... all superb.

I cannot say it is the best pizza I have had because different styles are all amazing. This is a unique style and I love it. The sauce was amazing, the ricotta cheese was so delicious and their meatballs were tremendous. What I loved was the crust - it had some chew and some tug; there was a little bit of char on the outside and the bottom. The meatballs were delicious and that sauce! The vodka sauce was perfect. I would have thought I would have missed the standard cheese on a pizza but the ricotta was super good. I placed my order on their website and it was easy; I was able to pay using my Apple Pay, which was a plus. We arrived and it was ready but we stood talking to the men in the shop and they were so kind. They asked us questions about us when they learned we had, recently, moved here. You will not find a more personable greeting anywhere.

All of the staff were very friendly, and helped me decide what to try. It definitely gives "family vibes" as soon as you walk in there. It's the definition of a hole in the wall, but I loved it. I live all the way in east Pittsburgh by plum and I drive ALLL the way over to Brookline, through the tunnels and under the bridges and over the bridges and under the tunnels again LOL.

There are a few tables if you want to eat in. Place gets super busy. Cell service is pretty non existent, this plays in if you want to tap and pay.

My favorite flavors are the mango habanero and the spicy lime, but there are still so many flavors I'm excited to try.
