Micelli's — Restaurant in Jal El Dib

Micelli’s has a flavorful variety of pizzas, where it is impossible not to satisfy all tastes. The first time we tried their pizza was when we went to the restaurant to take some home with us. We opted for the Porkoi Pa and The American. As we waited for our hot pizzas to descend in the “dumbwaiter” (which is an amusing name for a small elevator used to transfer objects), we met the owners behind this creation. The ambiance is very friendly and you feel like you are standing in the passionate result of dedicated people running a family business. The second time we decided to order pizzas via delivery to the house; it was a bit far so they conceded but with a minimum charge restriction. We chose the Porkoi Pa, Sun Island, The Last Dragon, and Monsieur Croq with tomato sauce. The pizzas arrived with a satisfactory temperature and in good condition. After all the outer layers of description of the circumstances, let us get down to business. How did the pizzas taste? Actually, in the non-Italian pizza category, they fared quite well. Their pizzas are topped with great products, which is key. My favorite, which is obvious since we ordered it twice, is the Porkoi Pa. The hickory smoked barbecue sauce is delicious, and the whole melange of the sauce with the smoked bacon, cheese, green pepper, and onions is well thought of and executed, leading to a well-balanced bite of pizza. The Croq Monsieur with tomato sauce was a safe choice, considering the available selection, yet its simple ingredients shone through. As a pepperoni pizza lover, I would have liked more pepperonis on The American pizza because I felt that the onions and green pepper were slightly overpowering. Maybe I will try The Pepperoni next time. Unfortunately, my least favorite pizzas were the Far East inspired Last Dragon and the mango-pesto Sun Island pizzas. In general, Micelli’s provides a vast selection of flavors, and mostly it comes down to a matter of preference. Something I appreciate is that the cheese and other toppings generously attempt to garnish the whole pizza, all the way right to the crunchy crusty edge, making sure that you leave...

I had high expectations of Micellis having only tried it once before through delivery service however I was Disappointed after my visit . The place was deserted. We ordered some nachos as we were waiting for our pizza order that took forever to be served. After finishing the nachos the waiter told us that there will be some delay which ended up being 20 more minutes for a total wait of 30+minutes. We got the "hot pepperoni", which wasn't bad and we kind of liked it but flavors didn't add up quite well. The sweetness of the honey was overpowering. "Pecadillo" was our second choice. A taco pizza variation that fell short of the bold flavors of taco with too much diced tomatoes. "A pizza with no name" was our third order. We honestly didn't enjoy this pizza at all. The pesto sauce was too floral and heavy, the pancetta was missing replaced by Italian sausages. We were three and could only share one slice and left it as is. The waiter saw that we didn't like this pizza, as we literally didn't touch it, asked us and we told him our honest opinion but no real action or effort was taken to change our minds and leave quite...

Not Your Ordinary Pizza Options!

Micelli’s offers unique pizza options that are sure to delight. It was a pleasant experience to taste new flavors in pizza, and surprisingly, they taste amazing.

The prices are reasonable, and the ingredients are of good quality. While the interior looks good, the seating is not very comfortable. Additionally, they should improve the lighting, as the dark interior can make the place look closed from the outside. The shop is small and has the feel of a family-run business.

There is a parking lot in front of the shop, which is convenient.
