I have always heard that Mineos is one of the great pizza places in Pittsburgh. And of course to survive on Murray Ave is impressive since that place is a Foodie paradise with so many places to choose from.
Walking in the door over the weekend my girlfriend and I were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. We grabbed 2 seats at the large bar and immediately dug into the drink menu. The beer selection was pretty nice, but for a pizza place it was expensive. I didn't want to spend $7-9 on a beer so I got the cheapest, a $5.50 Yuengling draft.
But then came the pizza. A thin dough that had a satisfying crunch, decked with my favorite veggie toppings: green peppers and onions. There was really the perfect balance of toppings and they were so fresh. You could tell That nothing about this pizza came from a can.
They sell by the slice which is always a nice bonus, although eating a whole pie wasn't exactly a chore. I don't know when I'll make it back to Mineos, but I can definitely say it is one of the best pizzas on the East End.
If freshness is your main focus, and if you like a thinner crust pizza this may just be the place for you. The only knock on this place is those beer prices, but that's the price of eating in a nice neighborhood perhaps.
