| - HMM HMM. Was pretty excited to try some deep dish Chicago style pizza in the GTA, however Mickey's leaves you wanting more.
Baby deep dish w/ meatballs, bacon crumble, & mushrooms (3/5): It's definitely a deep dish pizza, not going to argue with anyone on that. However, it's not really anything special beyond that. Meatballs are a bit of scam, it's just ground beef. Bacon crumble is regular bacon crumble, and yes the mushrooms were fresh, but maybe the cheese was too chewy, or it got soggy too fast. This pizza just isn't what I expected based on all the raving reviews. I felt it lacked sauce and the ingredients were just thrown in. One slice had way more 'meatball' than the other, and another slice had way more bacon crumble than another. It wasn't a pizza that was crafted in any way. There are deep dish places which take pride in making their pizza, however I did not get that feeling from Mickey's.
Cost (3.5/5): ~$10 for the baby deep dish. Sure, I'd dish out another $10.
Service (3.5/5): I think they did their best considering the crowd that came in for the dinner rush. I felt the order was timely, but nothing too special about the service. Same as pizza pizza, possibly a smidge better.
Ambiance (4/5): It's a cute joint. First thing you'll notice is their massive chalkboard menu, but it's not overwhelming in anyway. Its nice they put the pans up to give you proportion of their sizes. Next thing you'll probably notice is their rotating oven thing. Pretty cool! And they got dragon posters up, some vintage coke signs, so overall cute, kinda retro feel. HOWEVER, there is no difference between sitting in and take-out. Both come in their to-go pizza boxes. There's also seating for around 12 but you can really tell that this is more of a take out joint and sitting-in is definitely secondary.
Had this been the first time I had deep dish Chicago style pizza I may have been impressed, but unfortunately Mickey's didn't live up to what I was hoping for.
