As a frequent visitor to Mancino's in Alma, I feel compelled to share the delightful experiences I've had at this local favorite. From the first bite, it's clear why their pizza stands out - it's simply great. The crust is cooked to perfection, the toppings are always fresh, and each slice is a testament to quality.
But the real lunchtime heroes are the grinders. They have a knack for creating these hearty, satisfying sandwiches that are perfect for a midday meal. The fillings are generous, and every grinder I've tried has been a delicious journey.
The staff at Mancino's adds to the overall excellence of the place. They are amazing – friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a great dining experience. It’s refreshing to see a team that genuinely cares about their customers.
Moreover, the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portions of the food. It's a place where you can enjoy a fantastic meal without breaking the bank, which is always a plus.
Mancino's has rightfully earned its spot as our favorite local go-to. Whether it's for a casual dinner, a quick lunch, or a family gathering, this place never disappoints. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates great pizza and grinders, and a warm,...
Read moreI had previously lived in Alma for 25 years. So I was very excited to go back for a grinder. We ordered our food and it did not disappoint. However, there was a mistake on our order which was most likely a miscommunication on both sides. The kitchen lady (assuming the owner) came out and essentially chastised us that we owned more money for the correction. Which we were happy to pay as we were not arguing that it was a miscommunication. However, she was not the one who took our order so she does not know if WE miscommunicated or her cashier misunderstood. Either way maybe consider how you communicate with customers instead of making a spectacle in front of the whole lobby. A simple "i think there was a miscommunication and she rang you up for a personal size instead of a 12 inch but just so you are aware there will be an extra charge" would have gotten you "oh no problem" Btw it was a specialty pizza which only comes in 12 or 16 inch!! So how is that my mistake? Then also making sure we gave back the other pizza (we were not trying to cheat you) felt a little like you were accusing us of trying to trick the system. I just was in town and wanted to buy my son a pizza. Lastly, charging an upgrade of $10 for gluten free made that grinder almost...
Read moreDisappointed, again. When I first moved to the area 2 years ago, the pizza was great, however the standards have changed at the Alma location. This review reflects my last 2 visits, as I wrote one off as a isolated incident and decided to try again tonight. For just over $10, I don’t expect perfection… but come on, it’s pizza! A vital part to a pizza is the crust. I have had better pizza crusts with frozen products than this location is serving lately. It is tough, chewy and not risen at all. Having an extensive culinary background myself, these are easy issues to remedy. Check your yeast, proof your dough, don’t overwork or over flour… simple. However after having the same issues my last 2 visits, it is obvious that this product has been deemed acceptable and now the new standard. The St John’s location doesn’t have this issue, so I suppose I’ll have to take my business there going forward. Sad, considering being a chain, even if independently owned, should have the same standards of quality and strive for...
