Mineo's was the first great pizza place in the Squirrel Hill area...now it's mighty questionable. I agree completely with Hasina D., when I was growing up in Pittsburgh, this place was 10 stars...as I got older, I realized the cheese was way too salty and generally too greasy (as other reviews have noted). By the time I was a senior in high school, I stopped going here. Suddenly all of the old smiling staff was gone and hired in their place was a bunch guys who you wouldn't want to turn down a dark alley way and run into.
I will sum up a lot of the same complaints that other reviews have also pointed out:
- Salty/greasy cheese
- Dirty tables/floor/kitchen
- Very poor service & attitude
Here's how I'll put it...Would you want to go to the dirty, poorly lit and rude pizza place or the bright, recently renovated, clean place up the block?
And the correct answer is: Go to Aiello's instead...it's right up the block.
