I ordered the lunch special - salad and 2 slices of pizza. When I got the pizza and I looked at it, it wasn't even cooked. The dough looked very light. I don't know if they are going down hill, but I was saddened to be served this pizza.
Love this spot for their pies but I also love sitting at the bar with my husband for beer and bites. This is a perfect place for a week-night casual date. We have met other friendly couples here and it's just an over all great neighborhood spot. Sweet staff, fresh eats. Get yourself a brew with a cinnamon sugar rim, fried cheese, an order of mild wings, and a pie to go! Thank me later.
We rolled into Mondo Middletown like we hadn't eaten in a week. Fifteen deep. Loud. Hungry. Ready to do damage. I went straight for the Mondo special, thin crust, crisp, and built right. First bite told the story. The undercarriage had structure, the edge had crunch, and the toppings stayed in balance instead of sliding into chaos. Onion, peppers, sauce, pepperoni, sausage, bacon... all playing their role, nobody trying to be the star, and that's exactly why it worked. This wasn't a greasy overload pie. It was composed. Clean flavors. Sauce present but not drowning the dough. Cheese doing its job without turning the slice into a blanket. Around the table, it turned into a full-on pizza parade. * Barbecue chicken made the rounds. Sweet and Smokey * Tomato basil, simple, bright, the kind of pie you underestimate until it disappears * Sicilian, thicker, airy, satisfying, the "one slice turns into three" situation * Ozzy Egg, the wildcard. Rich, different, and the pie people kept talking about between bites I didn't personally get into every pie, but you could read the table. Heads nodding. Silence during bites. That "hold on, let me finish chewing" look. Universal pizza language for "yeah... this is legit." Keith came out and greeted us and jumped in for a photo like he'd known us for years. That stuff isn't staged. You can tell when it's genuine, and this was. The staff stayed on it the whole time. Drinks refilled, pies landing hot, check-ins without hovering. Friendly, attentive, and clearly used to handling a busy dining room without letting it feel chaotic. What stood out most was consistency. Nothing felt like a throwaway option. Whether thin crust, Sicilian, or specialty, the kitchen knew what it was doing. And the vibe matched the food. Casual. Welcoming. Built for groups. Built for exactly what we did, show up with friends, order too much, and stay longer than planned. Slice Mob left full and happy! Slice Mob Approved!
I went to Mondos Pizza in Middletown CT for the second time this past weekend and it was amazing. My sister got pizza , but I ordered the turkey avocado panini. It came with beer battered fries, which are to die for(no exaggeration). The panini was huge and really good. I had enough leftovers for two days. However, the wings were seasoned well but a little too fried and tough to chew. Overall, the food was good and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals.. I will DEFINITELY be back!
I love Mondo in Middletown! This place stays busy and that's because their food is delicious. I wasn't in the mood for pizza so I ordered pasta instead. I ordered spaghetti with garlic, butternut squash and Soppressata. OMG it was DELICIOUS & the presentation was incredible. The waitress went above and beyond and even brought me toasted bread with a side of olive oil and garlic for dipping. My brother got their Sicilian pizza and he loved it. My sister in law customized her own pizza and she was quite happy as well. The restaurant is a decent sized with a small bar. As said earlier it is always busy and they do a substantial amount of take out business as well. Definitely should be on your list! You won't be disappointed!
Very good pizza! Crust is thin but not too thin. With a bit of chew as well as crisp. Sauce was great- subtle and not overwhelming. Cheese was perfect. Slices are quite big if ordering by the slice. Will definitely return!
I've been to Mondo for pizza a few times, but until a few months ago, not since Portnoy gave them an 8.1. When I previously visited, my expectations weren't quite met, which probably had something to do with all the great buzz Mondo gets. For my most recent visit, I ordered a sausage and pepper pizza, and it was the best pizza I've ever had from Mondo. I'd call Mondo New York style thin crust. The sausage was in crumble form and the sausage juices flavored the pizza well. The peppers were good. The pizza had a good mix of crisp and chew. Average floppiness for a thin crust pizza with toppings. Nice cheese. Service was friendly and efficient. I'm far more likely to return to Mondo after this experience, than my prior experiences. 4.25 Stars
Mondo has been consistently great for a long time. Not only do they have great pizza, the rest of their menu never disappoints either. They have a small but delicious selection of pastas that always hit, and a bunch of paninis and salads. Our server was super friendly and I think their prices are fair too. This visit we ordered a Nate's lunch pie and a Waldorf salad. Their crust is thin, crispy, and chewy. This pizza had garlic, cheese, fresh tomatoes, bacon, and basil. It was delicious! I added lots of chili flakes as I often do, and next time I might ask if they could bake some into my pie because it was really good that way. The salad was fresh and perfectly dressed. It was an off time, but they were still busy, and there can often be a wait in the evenings to sit down. It's a fairly small space and can get a little loud when it's super busy, just as a note. They're definitely worth the visit though!
Mondo knows how to have Happy Hour on Weekdays 3-6. Had their incredible house white Sangria $5.00. Also I tried an item off the regular menu that not on the HH menu today. I had the Risotto Fritters that are homemade three cheese risotto fritters served with whipped ricotta. $12.95 and you get 6 good size balls. They were very filling and delicious. Try them you won't be disappointed. and of course the White Sangria was an added touch with the blood oranges that are freshly cut up in it. Grab a seat at the bar and get quick service and wonderful service.
I am not lying when I say this is the best turkey sandwich and fries I've ever had Huge portions and so much flavor! I love the crispy texture and flavor on the fries. So good! I will absolutely be back.
This is one of my go to pizza places! We usually get a bacon or pepperoni, but we opted in for their specialty pizza. It came with bacon, pepperoni, sausage, onions, peppers, olives. The crust has just enough crispiness and the pizza isn't soggy, even with all of the toppings!! Service was quick, even with a little bit of wait time.
Since my last review, I have gone to Mondo more often, and have figured out that I only like their pizza when I dine in. I don't like it take out, and I don't like it cold, or reheated. It's a good choice for pizza in Middletown, when you're able to enjoy it hot and fresh! (They do a HUGE takeout business so I can assume most of Middletown disagrees with me lol...personal preference!) They have a great happy hour, and a few outdoor tables. Their salads are excellent, and large enough to share, if you're also getting other items. The staff are friendly and they hustle!

I honestly only got pizza from here because I really needed to use the restroom after being at the soccer fields, and I am so glad I did. This was a 10/10 great pizza experience. We are not often in Middletown, but we will definitely be back. This is a great place to stop, and I 10000% recommend it. Of course, I had the gluten-free veggie pizza, and I added pineapple because I am a pineapple-on-pizza person. Sue me, I am an islander. My partner had the shrimp pizza, not gluten-free, and ordered a medium. The size was honestly obscene for a medium. He kept asking to drive back down there every day after because he wanted it again. Definitely returning. read more
Our neighbor raves about Mondo, so we thought it was high time we paid a visit. Mondo is fairly easy to find; our only error was accidentally pulling into the wrong parking lot. They do offer a free lot in the back, but judging by all the cars, Mondo is very popular on a Friday evening. Sure enough, there was a big line of people picking up orders, but we walked right in and were seated immediately. We started off with a beet salad, which was surprisingly delicious, combining candied walnuts and sweet orange and green apple slices with salty feta and tangy balsamic over a mountain of mixed greens. We then moved on to paninis, generous portions of meat and toppings on freshly baked, crispy bread. One of us chose more mixed greens tossed with dressing while the other chose crunchy French fries. We also ordered a third panini to go, the Mondo combo. We asked for fries; the kitchen accidentally gave us a salad. Our server, Heather N., saved the day by noticing the error and giving us both side orders. Mondo is family friendly, and there were plenty of children during our visit. As such, the volume was a tad loud and boisterous, but nothing obnoxious that would prevent us from returning. read more

Had another wonderful visit to Mondo's in Middletown. This time I tried their spaghetti and meatballs, and as always, the pasta was cooked perfectly. The sauce had a sweet, fresh flavor--almost like a spremuta di pomodoro--and I could tell the meatballs were prepared separately since their flavor stood out on its own. I really enjoyed the meatballs; you could clearly taste the blend of pork, sausage, and Parmesan cheese. I was pleasantly surprised that the portion of pasta matched the volume of meatballs, which you don't often see--usually, there's far more pasta than meat. Our waitress was polite and friendly. Even though the restaurant seemed a bit understaffed that night, she was attentive and kept a smile throughout. My only critique would be the seating and décor. The wooden chairs aren't very comfortable, and the interior could use a refresh--it feels like it hasn't been updated in about 15 years. Aside from that, Mondo's remains a wonderful local spot that serves consistently delicious food with great service. read more

My brother and I came here for my birthday and I have been here years ago, and the pizza was delicious. As I walked in the establishment, it seemed bigger when I was here years ago but we were immediately seated. The waitress came to are table right away and took are order. We ordered a large pizza with half Pepperoni. The pizza had a nice undercarriage and the sauce was very flavorful and delicious. The crust was crispy but there was so much cheese. I don't mind extra cheese but the cheese was just so thick. That's only con I would have to say about the pizza. The customer service was great as the waitress came to are table to check on us often. Five stars for customer service. read more

Middletown, surprisingly, has a large number of pizza spots, and Mondo is one of my favorites. The crust is on the thinner side but not too thin that the pizza gets soggy. I also just like the taste of their sauce and toppings a lot; I thought the cheese and margherita were both perfectly balanced, though some of my friends did think the cheese was a little greasy. Be sure to ask for a side of hot honey! It adds an extra layer of flavor. read more

Ordered Mondo for dinner again tonight, it's Friday!! Normally we have mainly ordered pizza. Tonight I wanted a meatball panini and hubby loves wings. We've never ordered either from Mondo. OMG they were delicious. The panini was huge but awesome and the wings were cooked perfectly and the sauce on each was delicious. Delivery was quick and food was great!! We will definitely be expanding our orders in the future. read more

We parked on the street, no problem. It was a late Friday afternoon. We walked in and others were waiting to sit. There were 3 or 4 girls behind the counter. One asked if we were dining in or picking up. Soon there were others behind up, crowding the doorway, waiting to be seated. Finally one of the girls huffed and ran to get menus, telling us to sit wherever we wanted. We proceeded to go outside and sit there. The inside was dark, but lively. It was a beautiful day to sit outside. Thankfully, our server was very pleasant. We ordered 2 small pizzas, which are more medium sized. We got the Bianco with spinach and a pepperoni. Wow! Bith were delicious! The spinach wasn't too much, although my husband didn't care for the spinach, he did like it. There was plenty of pepperoni. Thin crispy crust and very tasty! My husband ordered a beer from their own brewery and loved it. Make sure you grab dessert, too. Ariana packed us 2 desserts to go. They have cupcakes and amazing cheesecake. No wonder this place is on the list of top 20 pizzas in CT! Go try it! read more

Here for the second time. An impromptu meeting and was surprised that they were open at 11am. Our server was so nice and took good care of us, adjusting the umbrellas so we could enjoy the beautiful day and still see each other. We enjoyed some small plates, but would have tried more if we had the time. Great place to enjoy the afternoon and take in the foot traffic of a bustling Middletown food scene. read more
