Read More On Citysearch frankie linet 1/31/2010 - A great neighborhood pizzaGood pizza places seem to provoke ratings that are either excellent or terrible. I happen to think that Mineo's makes a great pizza in this neighborhood.
Of course, you have to enjoy lots of cheese and nice yeasty crust, plus fresh vegetables. Not everyone does. This is not a New York pizza nor is it an Italian one, or even a gourmet creation. Thank god it's not a British one. But hey, you know...
Read More On Citysearch hebayer 1/19/2010 - the on-going Great Pittsburgh Pizza Debate!I admit it: I'm a flip-flopper!
In Pittsburgh there's been a debate for years about who has the best pizza in town. I used to be all about Aiello's, and it is good...but, I tried Mineo's again for the first time in years a few months ago, and now I'm hooked!
Cheesy, greasy, hot, great sauce -- everything a pizza should be. And, last time I was there I got two slices of cheese pizza and a...

I used to go to Mineos a lot, I thought the pizza was the best ever. Lately it has really gone down hill. I paid $28.00 for a burnt pizza!!! Never again. Recently I found a pizza shop in Sewickly,family owned,they make their own sausage, yum-yum. Their pizza is greatttt, a must try. Tony R's pizza, you will never be disappointed. Personally I will never go to Mineos again.

I checked this place out at the recommendation of numerous people on a quest to find a delicious pie in the burgh. Having grown up outside of New Haven, CT I was privileged to have a lot of excellent pizza options. Mineo's just does not live up to the billing. The fact that it has won so many awards is troubling. I am now worried about the quality of pizza I will most likely not be able to find i...
Read More On Citysearch jme200 3/2/2009 - Great PizzaGreat pizza! Excellant crust and the sauce will make you cream in your jeans. The only thing is I can't figure out the protocol for cleaning off your table. Do you do it yourself or do you leave the scrappings on the table..I don't know, but what I do know is this.. At least you do not have to rehash your order like most Pittsburgh eaterys.
Read More On Citysearch beavercounty 1/25/2009 - Old-fashioned pizza house--SQUIRREL HILL's BEST KEPT SECRETThe pizza is fantastic, the place smells and feels like the legendary pizza houses your dad talks about. Mineo's is right on Murray St. in Squirrel Hill. They put the cheese on top of the meat, which is sort of their signature. Order a pizza--you won't regret it.
and check out their other location in Mt. Lebanon, on Washington.

Not wanting to venture out this late, we thought...PIZZA! The front desk staff recommended this place and another. We chose due to the 16" XL pizza for around $11.00. This pizza was excellent. I think y...

I had never eating pizza from this place and i wanted to try something new. I found their number online and called to place an order. I was very clear on my order and when i went to pick up the pizza, it was wrong and they charged me 21.00 for six pieces of pizza. Honest mistake i thought to myself. When i explained this to the clerk he became ...
Read More On Citysearch coberly7 3/18/2008 - Tastes like pizza in a Jewish neighborhood...For years I was told to buy my pizza at Mineo's. It's the best, you can't beat it, nothing better, top rates for years by the hometown mag...Enough already! So I went. We ordered 3 different pies, one plain, one with pepperoni, and one with pep/mush/sausage. All three were very dry, yet greasy. In other words, the grease, cheese and toppings slid off the pizza and all over my hands. I taste...
Read More On Citysearch CVCCC 3/11/2008 - Best thing to eat at 1am after a night out on townThe pizza is wonderfully greasy and cheesy like a pizza should be. Crust could have more flavor, but at 1 am on a Friday or Saturday, it is the best hands down.
Read More On Citysearch Nozamaya 2/11/2008 - This is the Best in Pittsburgh???Lots of people told me that I HAD to goto Mineo when in Pittsburgh. I was excited to go, and when I got there I felt like I was home (NYC). Then the pizza came out and I realized that I was in the country. THIS is what everyone was raving about?!?!?! YES, there is lots of cheese and the cheese is good- greasy but good. My guess is like everyone else, that there is some mozz and some provolone mix...
Read More On Citysearch Godzuki24 12/20/2007 - Best Pizza in Pittsburgh What can I say I have been going to mineos as long as I can remember. The only thing that changed is prices raising over time. ( which happens with everything) anyway, mineos has oil coming off it but thats the best part especially when you put some garlic on it and top it off with a ice tea in a carton like most of my fellow ( greenfield people).I highly suggest mineos ( at least once)
Read More On Citysearch wickedlidz 10/4/2007 - NOT THE BEST IN THE BURG BY FAR!Pizza Lovers, pay close attention. I happen to write food article reviews for a local Pgh paper. Mineo's, claims to have the #1 Pizza in the burgh. Not sure how in the hell they achieved that rating as they are anything but. Trust me, the only way they would be able to garner a #1 Rating legally is they must be paying for it. To be sure, I went to this establishment last week to prove or disprove...
Read More On Citysearch theoaklandkid 6/1/2007 - Neighborhood ClassicThe pizza here is well-acclaimed, and it's understandable. But I found the sauce too sweet for my liking and take-out somewhat precarious because the toppings tend to slide around while the pizza is still hot. The service is courteous and quick, and the decor has a nice neighborhood feel. This is worth a try as a benchmark for comparison.
Read More On Citysearch mr_savvy 11/7/2006 - Over the topTake your Lipitor or Zocor before you come here, because the cheese is piled on with a lavish hand. And what cheese! Gooey, saly and strong, with more than a hint of sheep's-milk cheese (romano? provolone?) in it. Excellent meaty sausage, coarse-textured and laced with fennel seed, is hidden under the winter blanket of cheese. The sauce is, by contrast, mild. There is only a hint of oregano to mo...
Read More On Citysearch mabelson 8/1/2006 - Still my favorite after 18 yearsMy dad started off taking me here because he and his friends used to go when it was just a hole in the wall (not that it's much more now). I'm yet to find a pizza as good as Mineos. They've come close, but it really is the best I've ever had. The cheese just MAKES the pizza, no doubt. And I find it a complete joke when people say their favorite pizza is Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. Get out to Mi...
Read More On Citysearch bgeno 4/19/2006 - I've had worse, but have had MUCH betterI don't see how anyone would think these guys are the best in the city. Pizza is one of the few things I dine out for since I have yet to perfect it at home. Mineo's looked and tasted exactly like my homemade recipe, which isn't bad, but certainly not worth going out for.
Read More On Citysearch cjcolem 4/7/2006 - bad experiences hereMaybe I've just had bad luck, considering that I grew up in Bloomfield and everyone says how great Mineo's is, but I've been disappointed by this place. I've tried the pizza here a few times with my friends and we've been pretty well turned off to eating here again. It's hard to pinpoint, but there is a strange tase to the pizza here, some kind of sour taste. No big deal though, a lot of peop...
Read More On Citysearch deb87 4/2/2006 - Simply the Best!No question...anyone who knows anything about pizza, realizes that Mineo's uses the freshest and the best ingredients in their pizza, and they do not skimp on the toppings. I have yet to find a pizza to equal its quality, and have patronized Mineo's since 1969. Why go anywhere else?
Read More On Citysearch doowop1962 10/21/2005 - Worth the tripThis pizza is delicious. It needs a fork to be eaten at times the chesss is so thick but it is still amazing pizza. Its worth the trip into rush hour traffic on the parkway to get it.
Read More On Citysearch vipergurl 7/27/2005 - Very Good, but not for everyoneMineo's is a great value and very inexpensive (you can leave STUFFED for around $3.50). However, the cheese on its pizza is a little too much for many. Great Veggies, but if you don't like a lot of thick cheeze, stay away!

Read More On Citysearch amoser 7/12/2005 - Simply the best!I am not kidding! I have lived all over this country. They can't figure out what Pizza should taste like in the MidWest and further west. NY is good Pizza. Mineos is a Island of perfection standing out for the whole country to taste. It does not get any better! Strong Cheese flavor. They use a blend of Ramono. Wounderful tangy sauce, that does not overpower the combined flavor. Crispy cr...

Often we get pizza at Mineo's upon our vist to the 'burgh. My family had a Pizza shop in Reynoldsville for a decade. I understand quality and Mineo's it all!

Read More On Citysearch lions 5/19/2005 - I've had betterSorry mineos.... but I have to say that I don't really enjoy eating this pizza. The toppings/ingredients seem to be fresh, but the pizza just has no taste. The sauce is quite bland. It is also hard to eat... the cheese is so solid that it slides right off the slice leaving me with, well, bland sauce and crust. This pizza is also fairly greasy. One thing that mineos has going for them is t...

Close or far away, any drive is worth it for Mineo's!

Understand this, Mineo's Pizza House rules the pizza universe. It starts with the perfect homemade crust, continues with the deliciously crafted sauce, followed by the highest quality blended imported cheese, and then just the freshest most bountiful toppings (if you like). This is the one-and-only, the pie that has stood the test of time and is consistently rated the best...
Read More On Citysearch levine_the_machine 5/19/2004 - Best PizzaHas anyone else noticed that quite a number of the people who don't think this pizza is good, have listed in their cons that there is NO BEER? I suppose it's true some people can't enjoy themselves without alcohol. Think about it.
I remember as a child going to pick up pizza at Mineo's, and when we moved away my father would bring home pizza from Mineo's when he made a trip to Pittsburgh.

Read More On Citysearch militarysupporter 4/10/2004 - dont bother with mineosokay, there are 2 other pizza shops within 500 feet of this dump and both are far better. There are easily 20 other pizza shops in this city better than mineos. Hell, Sheetz pizza gives mineos a run for its money. I dont know what you people are drinking, mineos pizza is a completely unremarkable, greasy mess.

We always get the pizza with the pepperoni top. The rustic crust is awesome and the sauce is perfect but what ,akes this pizza is the cheese. The cheese is absolutely out of this world.
Whenever we get a pizza from anywhere else we compare it to Mineos and 99% of the time the...

I get back to PGH every other year and always go to Mineo's. I bring my children there as well. You know, their subs are great too! This is a must stop on your way home to watch the Steeler games.

The crust is very tasty and firm. Excellent sauce. Lots of cheese, no real need for double cheese. A great place for lunch. Take out is the preferred method for this restaurant. It is self service, no wait staff. But the pizza is well worth the trip. Not a real place for "sit down dinin...

Best pizza in the 'burgh?! Are you insane? The only people who go there are Squirrel Hill residents who never leave their neighborhood anyway. The pizza is oily and of the same quality as any chain. That crap is an insult to Italian Americans.

I have to say that you just can not find that Pittsburgh taste anywhere in LA. It is seriously that good....
Read More On Citysearch calibonnie 1/13/2003 - Primo Pizza with PizzazExceptionally good pizza. Good dough, exceptional cheese and sauce. White pizza is out of this world, especially if you like garlic. Best in Pittsburgh; almost up with Uno's in Chicago and much better than Uno franchises.
Read More On Citysearch tchapman 1/2/2003 - OVERRATEDOkay for Americanized Pizza. This place thinks it's the ruling neighborhood pizzeria, and the service is not great.
Overall decent tasting pizza but it's heavy and expensive. I'm not sure it deserves all the hype surrounding it.

Read More On Citysearch cejay1220 12/6/2002 - Simply the Best!Mineo's Pizza House, located on Murray Avenue in Squirrel Hill and Washington Road in Mount Lebanon, has the best, most delicious pizza anywhere. The cheese is perfect, and has a soft, smooth, chewy texture and a salty taste. The sauce is nicely spiced. Our family's favorite combination is half pepperoni and half extra cheese. You should also try the White Pizza, which is superb.

Read More On Citysearch smileyface395 11/27/2002 - No way!!!!!!!!!The number two choice, Vincents Pizza, is by far the best in Pittsburgh. The location maybe out of the way and not in the city, but Vincent has the best pizza around town. Mineo's doesn't have it on Vincent. Mineo's quality of additive choice is not up to par. Vincent's Pizza Park in Forest Hills/North Bradock is outstanding.

Each year though, all of the out of towners come back for a guys weekend. One of the highlites every year is the trip back to Mineo's. From Boston to Chicago to Houston to San Francisco, they all agree no one comes close to Mineo's. They leave the weekend with frozen Mineo's pizzas to take a taste of Pittsburgh back with them.

At times it can be a little salty, but over all it's the best in town. Though it is a littel pricy. For a large with two toppings, delivered, and with tip can run you $16.00. But for a treat, it's worth it.
