Just when you thought the last thing the valley needed was another quick-casual build your own pizza shop, MidiCi shows up in Desert Ridge and steps up the game. Delicious, fresh and inexpensive food. A Cool modern setup with the kitchen fully on display. The black and white Italian movie projected against the wall is also a nice touch.
The restaurant is traditional semi-service. Order at the front. Pay a few feet over (while checking out plenty of displays of the fare offerings at the counter and watching the cooks work in the open kitchen). Find a table. Food is brought to you wherever you end up sitting. Drinks, cutlery and other necessities are at a station in the back. As already stated, the ambiance is quite pleasing.
Just a word of warning; Big groups are hard to seat here. Actually, medium groups are pretty tough too. There's a decent amount of seating, but not enough for the dinner rush. My wife, 2-year-old daughter, and I had to grab a hightop meant for two people and I dragged a third seat over from the bar. It was a tight squeeze but we managed. If we had four or more, we would have had to wait and pray that we could have found a couple tables to push together.
