| - I've been told by many others that Mickey's Pizza is the place to go for great, hard to find, deep dish pizza. And yes, deep dishes are hard to find. But so is this place. So is it worth it?
Mickey's is located in Mississauga, which for some Yelpers may be too far of a commute. Luckily for me, I was returning from an event in Oakville and driving past on the Lakeshore. We decided to try the best of both worlds and ordered both a deep dish Flyin Hawaiian and a regular crust something-or-other.
The regular crust pizza was good. Nothing mind-blowing, but still rather tasty. I have nothing else to say about it. It wasn't anything to write home about.
Now for the deep dish. This is literally the pizza they are known for. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say, perhaps it was the 15 minutes it took me to drive home with it. Or maybe it was just not a great pizza day. Either way, the pizza was just okay.
Perhaps the sauce lacked a bit of flavour, and maybe the cheese to topping ratio was a bit overwhelming. I'm not sure what it was, but of the two, I preferred the regular old flat crust pizza pie. Maybe it just didn't transport well. If you're hoping to eat there however, there's only about 6 chairs in that place, so taking it home is most likely your only option. Also, wait times for your pizza is about 35-40 minutes, so if those chairs are taken, you might have to stand or wait outside.
I definitely appreciate the idea of a good local deep dish pizza place, and based on what I heard of people dropping in, they like the idea too. Next time I'm driving by and craving pizza I'll give it another go, but I won't be going out of my way for this one.
