A Pittsburgh native directed me to Mineo's Pizza House, and I'm glad he did. It's definitely a different kind of pizza than we have in California, and we have all kinds of pizza.
Cheese is the focus here. When our pepperoni pizza was ready, we picked it up and looked at it. Ummmm, where's the pepperoni? Well, it's hidden under approximately five pounds of cheese.
The ingredients are all great. The pepperoni appears to be fresh and hand-cut thick. The cheese had plenty of flavor. The crust was a bit on the soggy side, but good. The sauce did it's job nicely.
I guess my complaint was the balance of the ingredients. SImply put, it was just too cheesy for my tastes. It feel like a ton of lead in your stomach, which may be exactly what some people crave.
In the end, I was glad I went. I liked the pizza. But, there's no way I'd ever go back. It's just too heavy for me.
