Mimosa Brooklyn Pizza Warsaw — Restaurant in Warsaw

A Disappointment Wrapped in Potential (Waiting over 1 hour)

There are dining experiences one forgets within moments, and then there are those so thoroughly disheartening that they linger — not because of what was served, but because of what was squandered. Pizzeria Mimosa belongs, regrettably, to the latter.

On a recent visit, I was met with an inexplicably long wait — over thirty minutes outside — despite numerous vacant tables in the open-air section. The restaurant appeared to be deliberately slowing the entry of guests, likely as a means of easing the strain on the kitchen. A practical tactic, perhaps, but wholly unacceptable when left unexplained. Transparency, after all, is the bare minimum when requesting a guest’s patience.

Once seated, the lack of urgency — or perhaps capability — became even more evident. I waited fifteen minutes simply to place an order, while multiple tables seated after me were promptly attended to. After an hour had passed, I asked about my order, only to receive a vague reassurance that it was “on its way.” It wasn’t. Thirty minutes later, my pizza finally arrived — lukewarm in temperature and even colder in ambition.

My companion, who ordered nothing more than a Coca-Cola, did so under the assumption that a drink would at least be immune to delay. It was not. Even this took twenty minutes, a delay emblematic of a service team either overwhelmed or undertrained — perhaps both.

More troubling than the slowness was the complete lack of communication. Not once were we informed of the extended wait. Not once did a member of the staff proactively acknowledge the delay. Eye contact was avoided, service was evasive, and the discomfort of guests was met with quiet indifference.

And then, the main event — the pizza. If only the delays had led to something memorable. Instead, the dish was forgettable at best. The crust lacked character — doughy without being chewy, limp without crispness. The topping was an overzealous helping of pelati, drowning what little flavor might have emerged from the base. It was pizza reduced to its most uninspired form.

Dining out is never just about the food — it is about how you are welcomed, how you are treated, and how the experience makes you feel. At Mimosa, I felt like an afterthought.

There is no joy in writing such a review, only the hope that criticism, when fair and measured, might encourage better. But until then, Pizzeria Mimosa remains a lesson in how even the most charming setting cannot rescue a restaurant that has forgotten the fundamentals of hospitality.

Hands down, the best pizza in town! The service is always fantastic — huge thanks to our amazing, attentive, and witty waiter Alex (he deserves recognition and bonuses for being so helpful with menu, recommending us dishes and just being a friendly person who made us feel completely at home). No matter when you go, you can count on satisfying every craving. I highly recommend their pizzas (the gorgonzola and pear with honey is my absolute favorite, but honestly, they’re all incredible!), their desserts (the honey cake is unbeatable!), and even their breakfast. We’re completely in love with this place and will definitely be...
