I've been dining at Minico's for years and have never had a bad meal here. The food and the service are great. Mandy has been our server on many occassions and is always very efficent, pleasant and upbeat. She never rushes you and always takes time to chat. On this particular visit, my wife and I both had the chicken parm which comes with a house salad, a side of spaghetti and a dinner roll. Their house salads are always excellent (generous with the extras) and the chicken parm must have come from a GIANT chicken - the portion was huge. Monday through Thursday they also offer a daily special. Great famiily restaurant. read more

We can't get enough of this place!!! This was our first dine in experience and it was amazing. Our server was Avery and he was very kind and attentive. The garlic bread was seasoned and perfectly toasted! The pizza was saucy and delicious!!! The marinara sauce was the perfect sweetness that will keep us coming back for more! read more

This was my family's second time here this month and have been pleasantly surprised not only by the food but the exceptional service! They offered our 3 year old son crayons and a coloring book. The Stromboli was terrific and their subs hit just the spot! We will absolutely be back again. We feel like it's our own hidden gem! read more

Ordered pepperoni and double cheese. Had to hunt for pepperoni. Some pieces of the pizza had little to no cheese. What there was tasted good but price was high for what they gave me. This wasn't a pizza with double cheese. read more

Tough hard crust on pizza. Seemed day old! Better pizza at Cheshire mkt, Classics pizza ,Masseys, Or Donatos ! Probably will NOT return!

We visited this restaurant for the first time last weekend. The service was excellent, but the food was bland. Both the baked ziti and Alfredo linguine lacked seasoning and flavor. read more

I don't often go to places without pizza in the name to get pizza, but Minico's may have changed that. I ordered the Italian sub and a cheese pizza with roasted peppers. The first thing I noticed was the golden crisp of both of the doughs, with the gentlest crack with every mouthwatering bite. Once I got through the breading, the flavor of the ingredients whisked me away to the farms they came from. I could taste the fresh tomatoes with every bite of the pizza and each spice in the meat of the sub. The staff was very nice and someone came out of the kitchen to help me when he noticed the person at the register was occupied. The inside of the restaurant also had a very cozy atmosphere. One thing that I must comment on is that I originally wanted a cheese pizza but they are priced as cheese with one topping. I don't know if they add extra cheese to make up for the price of one topping but this is the first place I have seen that starts pricing with one topping instead of just cheese. I will be highly recommending this restaurant to people on their hunt for delicious pizza. read more

Busy Friday night, some chaos at the host stand between pick ups and dine in patrons. We were seated eventually. Ordered, drinks etc. All fine. This is the type of place I went to in high-school, folksy, local, in no way high brow or hipster with lots of young high-school aged (seemed like first jobs) wait staff. Italian wedding soup has too much egg or I'm used to other clear broth versions. Only a few meatballs so I would likely pass next time. We ordered 2 medium pizzas, and half size "uncle special" spaghetti with peppers and onions. I found it just the right size and still took some home. One pizza had a mix up (requested remove banana peppers on half because I'm the only ohioian that doesn't like them) they offered to remake, some confusion that it would come off the bill, but it didn't. But th3y brought it boxed to us so we got that pizza for free. I literally didn't care and picked off the offending banana peppers. Again, casual dining place. Large retiree crowd, it's a local family restaurant. No fuss place. Clean tables and bathrooms. A nice, not amazing Friday night dinner out. read more

Well, I usually order carry out, but tonight I thought my family and I would try it out for Valentine's Day. Not bad, until about 8:30, when the entire staff started signing .. nah nah nah nah....nah nah nah nah... hey hey hey goodbye. What in the actual F? Not once, but twice. Bro, you close at 9. I already paid my bill and my wife was finishing her wine. Made it so uncomfortable, I had to get a styrofoam cup for my wife to take her wine to go. Such an UNPROFESSIONAL gesture. Btw, it's like a Burger King type of dining experience, so I guess that type of treatment should have been expected. EAD! read more

Food is always delicious, very reasonably priced. They absolutely have the best meatball sub in the city, hands down!!!! Every meal we've tried has been amazing, you always get exactly what you order and plenty of it. read more

Minicos you all surprised us. We wanted something casual and we wanted pizza. It has been years since we last had Minicos and this was when they were in Sunbury Rd. It had been that long. Tonight was two beers. Two house salads. Medium veggie with sausage. I know. The irony. The crust was light and airy. The toppings were evenly spread. The sauce was excellent the cheese was just right. We found ourselves a new pizza place. Super impressed and happy with our experience. We'll be back. read more

Chicken Parmesan was burnt and then doused with sauce to cover it up. Garlic bread was soggy and greasy. Salads were shredded lettuce and few olive pieces and four bits of tomato. I am embarrassed for them that they consider this Italian food. Very disappointing read more

Nothing is homemade. I ordered chicken Parmesan which consisted is frozen mystery meat. Could not cut or chew. The atmosphere feels like a senior center. Blah. Need better restaurants in Westerville read more

Friday night very brisk Pizza business with Dining Room humming right along. Loud Rock Music seemed more for the benefit of the help than the customers. The Best Wedding Soup in Central Ohio! Very Good Meatballs appear made in house. Spaghetti with red sauce just OK. Some menu items not available. Overall good food but loud hectic ambiance. read more

Minico's is our favorite pizza. We usually order the "All The Way" pizza. The sauce is made on site and it's fantastic. Nice thin crust and packed with toppings. Also like their White Chicken Alfredo pizza. Have had their lasagna and wouldn't recommend it. Meatballs are good and the Sausage Mushroom Stromboli. read more

After work I stopped in for the first time. I placed a carryout order for an Italian Sub and Italian Wedding Soup. My order was ready in less than 10 minutes. I started with the soup which I thought $4.50 for a small container was quite a high price. It had quite a bit of egg and spinach and 4 little meatballs. To me it was like eating Egg Drop Soup. The Italian sub was wrapped in paper then in foil. When I opened it, it was cold. The bread had sesame seeds on top which I thought was odd and the bread was not toasted. Maybe pizza would have been a better choice and will have to stop back in to try it. read more

I don't understand how one can make alfredo taste like absolutely nothing, but boy someone certainly did. I got the alfredo linguine - which in itself is a strange pasta choice for alfredo but go off I guess - and I got the garlic bread with cheese. Both tasted like I was eating nothing, it was like someone had an allergy to seasoning and didn't want to salt the water while they were making the pasta. The only thing I tasted with the garlic bread with cheese was the oil that was soaked into the bread. Not the garlic nor the cheese itself. It was astonishing. The only people that would consider this to be Italian food are the same type of people that consider Fazoli's to be fine dining. Will not order again. read more

Disappointed. We got a 14 inch pepperoni and meat lasagna. Pizza was pretty solid, though the dough was less crispy and flakier than our first visit a month ago. Plenty of pep so points for that. I added Parmesan to the photos on the review. Overall I recommend the pizza. Much better than donatos. The 'meat lasagna' was a disappointment and will not order again nor recommend to anyone. Unfortunately after first look and taste I was reminded of a frozen lasagna that you would heat up in a microwave at the office. This lasagna had some meat hidden in it, but tasted solely cheese and play dough. Yeah, play dough (I have a kid so I know the taste). On the plus side it came with a dinner roll that looked to be of the frozen kind likely prepared in some giant factory off site, and a side salad. The wife said she would order the side salad again. It was a typical pizza shop salad with pep, chopped tomato's, banana peppers and other items to make it interesting. I hope I got them on an off day, but unfortunately the lasagna was bad enough for me to pull up yelp and spend 10 minutes writing this review. Stick to the pizza. read more

Best pizza I've ever had! We ordered 2 pizzas and everyone was really happy with what they ate. The sauce alone made the pie. We love a good success and Minnico's is really good. I'm learning, when you find a good thing, syick to it. We were thinking of having Minnico's or trying Romeo's. We've had Minnico's, so we tried Romeo's and it was the worst food we've eaten. Never again, we'll stick to Minnico's. read more

UPDATE: They have reopened!!!!! They are now located in the shooing center at the corner of Sunbury and Smothers! read more

Walked in and it was packed with only one waitress working the floor. The only two open tables needed cleaned. One was a table beside me and the other a booth on the other end of the room. After about 5 minutes as the waitress was walking by, she said give me a minute to clean a table for you. A few minutes later an older guy comes out from the kitchen and points to me to sit at the booth across the room that looked clean from a distance. As I sit it's obvious that the table was never wiped off and I didn't have much room in the booth. I decided to move to the other dirty table since it would give me more room. A few minutes later a lady comes out of the kitchen and starts cleaning a booth that nobody was sitting at that a Customer just got up from. I hear her say to someone that they are short staffed. No big deal to me as I saw that the moment I walked in the door. The lady walks by my table towards the kitchen and I hear her say 'people need to be a little more patient when waiting for a seat. We waited about 7 or 8 more minutes without anyone acknowledging we were there. We got up and quietly left. After I left it hit me that she probably directed that comment to me not knowing the guy tried to sit us at a different table. This is the first bad experience I had in ten visits. I'll be back, I understand finding help is difficult right now. read more

She raved about the marinara. I found it good. Not sweet. Not extraordinary. I prefer mine a bit more Diablo. The meatballs were a good size. Not baseballs, not marbles. Plenty of meat, without seeing or tasting a lot of filler. This was on the open face smothered dish. Pizza was great. Thin and crispy, just the way we like it. It wasn't brittle like a cracker. Just thick enough to give a slight chew. Cheese had great stretchability. No snap back, like fake rubbery imitation cheese. The pepperoni had great seasoning. Service was quite a bit off. I think the server was preoccupied with getting his work done for closing. That cost an entire star. We will return! read more

4 stars for quality of pizza! I ordered take out..I like my pizza pretty boring. Half cheese, half pepperoni. Ordered a medium. Medium size was pefect for me and even had extra for lunch on Monday! I love the crust. It sure beats the big places like Domino's, donatos, papa John or pizza hut. I also ordered an Italian salad with their homemade italian dressing. And wow, Italian dressing was amazing! Total cost was $15.95 for both. Excellent price for quality and taste. Very friendly staff and it's always clean in there! read more

Our new fav Pizza place in Westerville. I'd classify as "old school" Italian, they make the classics from pizza to lasagna, spaghetti, fettuccine alfredo. We've had them all& enjoyed everything. Our go-to order is a works pizza & Stromboli with sausage & pep. Always ready on pickup & fresh out of the oven. Each time I've been in they've been busy; always nice to see. read more

Started out good. Friendly service. Roll was warm and friendly. While I understand it was a Saturday night, it sill took an excessively long time to get our food. Ordered chicken parm with meat sauce. Order came out with only 1/2 meat sauce and half Marinara. Nothing special. Not likely to return. They have gluten free options but be prepared to wait a while. Bathroom is not acceptable. read more

I love eating at non-chain locations. So tonight my wife and I decided to try Minico's Italian Restaurant for a peperoni pizza. I know we tried Minico's years ago but I didn't remember whether I liked it or not. First appearances showing up on a busy Friday night, everyone was courteous, friendly and smiling. The place was clean. Thumbs up for that. I saw them cutting my pizza when I arrived so they were accurate in the pick-up time they described. As far as pizza is concerned, in my opinion it's difficult to find an awful pizza. It's even more difficult to find an amazing pizza, where the combination of crust, sauce, cheese and peperoni merge to create that one great taste. And Minico's comes so close. The cheese is outstanding. The peperoni is good and makes a nice complement with the taste of the cheese. The crust was solid, with a good texture. But the sauce... Minico's... what's up with the bland, nearly tasteless sauce. Walking through the restaurant to the pick-up counter, looking at all of the Italian food being served, I was not prepared for the virtually tasteless sauce. I even tried scraping some off of the pizza onto my finger to taste it directly. Just plain bland, so little tomato flavor. Create a robust, flavorful sauce and you would be near the top of the pizza food chain. After eating it tonight, I now remember why I forgot about your pizza years ago. It's close to being great, but in the end it's just another good pizza. read more

Good pizza! Cute place and solid prices. We got a half cheese half pep. Cheese was delicious.

Went here at around 5 today. Ordered a plain garlic bread and 10" pepperoni pizza and a Pepsi. Pepsi was served right away. They brought out a cheese bread, which I had them return, waited quite a while for them to return with correct order. Well the floor manager came out with the pizza next, no garlic bread. She re-ordered the garlic bread again. Continued to eat the pizza, waitress Debbie came back and put a carry out box down on the table, not sure why. Finally finished the pizza. Debbie came by yet again and no garlic bread. She assured me it was coming. She went away and came back. Still no garlic bread. She tried to assure me that it would be here soon. I just asked for the check paid same promptly. I paid my check promptly why couldn't you serve my order promptly. Do love your pizza but service and management need work. Thanks read more

Temporarily relocating to the CVS strip mall a little north on Sunbury while a new restaurant is built. When we moved to Ohio in 2008, this was one of the first places we ate and we LOVE it. We were treated like family right away and the servers always remember us even when it had been over a year since our last visit. Our service has always been great, though sometimes slow. Our opinion is that the pizza is over priced. However, I haven't been able to find anything like their white pizza anywhere else so I pay it happily. My second favorite is the lasagna. The house salad dressing is my husbands favorite and he loves the toasted ravioli. We have tried lots of other items and we have never been disappointed. Give this place a try when they are rebuilt and back in business! read more

We eat here often. Love their pizza, pasta and meatball sub. Good prices and great staff.

Terrible pizza. For close to $20 for a large pizza, one would expect a flavorful and nicely baked pizza. What I got was an overcooked (burnt) pizza and because of the thin crust they use, it was like a cracker. I wasn't expecting such a mediocre pizza not after I paid over $40 for my order of 2 large pizzas. I can't believe when they saw and knew that one was burnt, they still put it in the box and handed it to me which I didn't see until I got home. I wasn't going to drive back and maybe this is what they hoped for. Well, I will NEVER order their pizza again. I discourage others from eating their pizza not at that price for the quality you end up getting. Too bad and too sad! read more

Went to Minico's last night...we love the food there so we were really looking forward to it. We were outright ignored by the wait staff. I would try and call someone over, wave my hands...anything! They sat tables around us and those tables were immediately served. It was so frustrating to see that happen. Expecially since half of the workers there were sitting at other tables playing on their phones. The food at Minico's is pretty good...but don't go if you're very hungry-you may have to really work for your meal! read more

Review for the new locations on Sunbury and County line Rd. which they do not deliver from as of now. I do eat here about once a week however its really due to the fact that it is super close to my house and the food is ok I guess. Better than Papa Johns if that means anything? I am 100% Italian and grew up in Queens, NY. The food from here doesn't eve come close to what I could get at a corner deli from non-italians back home. Mind you I have tried almost everything on the menu because I really did and do want to like it this place. Unfortunately, "it is what it is" and when you work as much as I do, convenience sometimes overrides quality. If anyone has any other recommendations for more authentic Italian food and/or pizza with out going to far out of my way that would be fantastic and much appreciated. read more
