Great place. I had a night-out book coupon, which they happily honored, which was great. (Been having issues with other places refusing to honor their own coupons from that, but ...anyways...) Got a large pizza , single order of garlic Parm wings which seemed larger than the average chicken wing. . I asked extra crispy wings (aka the way they should be cooked) and they were definitely crispy. In fact, they were perfect. It seems like not many restaurants these days know what crispy means. Mineo's does.. The pizza was cooked to perfection. Cup&char pepperoni were perfect. What I especially loved about the pie was the sauce. I'm not gonna lie, it just may be THE best or one of the best pizza sauces ive ever had (and I've had MANY...)..the man at the register was polite and personable. Was able to tell me a very brief history of their restaurant (it was only brief because there was another customer waiting behind me) and I really enjoy hearing about locally owned restaurants, especially pizza places within the city of Buffalo. Nice location too. Just my type of place. The only "con" I'd have to say was that the garlic parm wings werent "saucy" but the meat itself was delish and juicy so that made up for it. Overall , I'll...
Read moreI walk into the joint and I am ask, how I can be helped. I said, well, it says Mineo's on the sign and I am "a" Mineo. No relation to any of the owners, that I know of but as someone born in Western NY but has been raised and currently lives in SWFL the last name of Mineo is pretty rare. Granted it's just as rare in Western, NY but its more common than it is down here. Not Smith common but more common than SWFL.
Down here if you mention the name Mineo from Tampa to Fort Myers it would be likely one would be refering to someone in my family that goes 7 deep. So for me this was cool as hell.
I ordered the Buffalo chicken finger sub with some fixings and it was every bit enjoyable. The only reason I did not have the pizza and/or wings was because that was all I had been eating since the plane landed. Upon my next trip I will be getting some pizza and wings from Mineo's South Pizzeria. My cousin goes there often and she is always ranting and raving about it.
The hospitality was great and there are a few dine-in tables if you wanted to eat there. It has that Sopranos feel to it. Like if Tony Soprano was sitting inside, reading the paper and having a slice. Thanks Mineo's......
Read moreNo one in south buffalo can argue the fact that Mineos has the best food, they have amazing owners (Sam&Matt) they always take care of the customers no matter what....Mineos is and always will be a Staple of what buffalo pizza, wings and Hoagies are supposed to be! If you haven't had a hoagie from Mineos, then I'm lost for words! They not only make fresh pizza sauce and spaghetti sauce...they have a secret hoagie sauce that they make fresh that you'll get no where else in buffalo and it'll keep you coming back for more! If you like chicken finger pizza then this is your place and don't even get me started on the steak pizza! When it comes to a true representation of buffalo, and the pizza and wings of our city then this your place to get that amazing "cup and char" pepperoni with gooey mozzarella that you can't get else where in buffalo or in the nation... and the love put into the food and sauces by owners and employees that really love what they do... makes it even that more special for when you enjoy the food they...
