The absolute best pizza in the world!

by diva_decors_redesigner

I grew up in New York City and have now been living in Canada for over 20 years.... The first time I ate pizza in Canada, I cried because it was the pits compared to Mimi's Pizza. I'm sooooooooooo happy to know that they still exist! I will be going back this year.... and I'll definitely be taking home a cooler of semi-cooked Mimi's cheese pizzas! Mimi's Pizza is the best pizza in the world! I can still taste it over 20 years later if I close my eyes! Way to go, Mimi's!

• Pros: Great, gooey, drip-down-your chin pizza!
• Cons: There are none... This is Mimi's pizza we're talking about....

Treated poorly

Indifferance is one thing: these guys are rude and unpleasant.

This family-run pizzeria's fresh cheese pies and no-nonsense pastas have been keeping regulars happy for more than 40 years.

by Kathleen Squires

The Scene
The pink dining room, decorated with pictures of Frank Sinatra and the Pope, has seen better days. But the clientele of local businesspeople, shopkeepers, students and residents don't linger long enough to notice.

The Food
It's hard to top the simple cheese pie with its chewy, firm crust, slightly salty mozzarella and thick tomato sauce. But if you get fancy, you may end up disappointed. Pizza verde, for example, is soggy under the weight of canned artichokes and chopped fresh tomatoes. The same philosophy holds for the dinner menu: While plump cheese ravioli, covered in the same terrific tomato sauce, has an unmistakably homemade flavor and farfalle in Alfredo sauce with mushrooms is mercifully light, bland potato croquettes stuffed with mozzarella and prosciutto are proof that sticking with the basics is a good idea.

Lexington Avenue's best kept secret!

by lonewolfsuarez

I went there on a rainy afternoon, and the pizza was terrific, good amount of cheese, sauce, and very crunchy. Never had the chance to thank the guys for the pizza, but I'd definitely go there again!

• Pros: Good food, Service
• Cons: Not too many seats

only good for one thing

by pratt71

This place is only good for one thing....a cheese slice. Venture beyond that and you will be disappointed!

You've got to be kidding!

by KDL40

Maybe, if you run in to get a quick slice, this place is average. Don't order anything else!! The 'staff' will do no better than a bad Chinese take-out place. With so many new, pleasant, inexpensive places around here now, why keep this dump in business? Because of the paid-off, outdated celeb photo-testimonials? You've gotta be kidding if you say this rundown joint has ambience, charm or good food.

• Pros: Quick slice., Cheap.
• Cons: Obnoxious service., Takeout orders wrong.
