Myke's Pizza — Restaurant in Mesa

First off, the pizza was delicious! The pizza delivery person was good, but needed to be!

So what the problem … No signage on the outside of the building, can you imagine having a business in the back of another business and not having ANY signs saying “Hey we’re here”! Two trips around the block and stopping to ask 2 people both didn’t know where the place was located! We finally walked into a place that was open and had a similar address and found Myke’s way in the back of that business! I have added 2 photos of the building … hoping it may make it easier for the next person to find the place.

Next , no waitresses! QR card to order. Oh and let’s make it even more confusing, the QR card has Myke’s on one side and the other business on the other side. The menu is limited to 9 pizzas with limited addition to the each pizza. Want a beer with your pizza … sorry not here!

So we ordered our pizza and waited and waited and … Finally the pizza delivery person came by and ask if we had ordered a pizza??? Some how our order didn’t make it to the pizza maker! Our pizza delivery person did 2 very good acts, first recognizing we were sitting for a long time without ordering and than expediting our order. We got our pizza with 10 minutes.

Tipping was added without asking. We came in because we had a Gift Certificate. The pizza didn’t use the whole gift certificate so we brought, on the QR menu, 2 cans of tomatoes which the price add a 10% tip! First off, we purchased the tomatoes on the QR menu, we took the cans from the shelf our self and you want a $3.20 tip?

Overall, we won’t be back … I like beer...

I’m experiencing a lot of mixed emotions as I write this review. On the one hand, the pizza is delicious. Excellent ingredient quality and great flavor, no doubt. On the other hand, the crust is so thin and floppy that the toppings fall right off. No crunch whatsoever on the body of the pizza, which I understand is a particular style of pizza, just not really my preference. The pepperoni margarita was on the greasy side, to be honest. The crust, however, was awesome.

The ordering system is not straight forward at first, but is pretty easy once someone explains it to you, but only if you have a smartphone. If you don’t, I think you might be able to order at the counter, maybe? But I haven’t confirmed this. The guy delivering our pizzas couldn’t figure out how to “customer service.” No smiles, no questions, no thank you’s. Just a bad case of RBF.

I do have a small gripe with the pricing structure and the wastefulness. It’s bizarre to be charging more than Pizzaria Bianco whilst serving the pizza on a cardboard square with cheap paper plates. Makes me feel like I overpaid. It’s almost like Myke doesn’t really value the pizza he serves. Don’t get me wrong, overall I really enjoyed Myke’s Pizza, but it is quite up there in price, and I’m almost certain it’s the floppiest pizza I’ve ever had in my life.

And that’s why I’m torn. Delicious, but floppy. Flavorful, but expensive. Quirky, yet slightly off-putting. Maybe it’s all by design, which if it is, good for them. I might come back to try a couple different pizzas....

The first time we came here it was an amazing experience. The food was hot and was by far the best pizza I have ever had. I can't remember the official name of the dish but it's a thin pizza with crushed tomato, garlic, olive oil, and like cheese with cream. It was delicious. The drinks from Cider Corps were also phenominal and the atmosphere was welcoming. Also the food cane out fairly quick which was appreciated and surprising since they were very busy.

The second visit was frustrating at no fault of Mike's Pizza but we went on a Monday and it turns out they are closed on Mondays. We should've checked instead of assuming.

The third visit was a disappointing experience. We went earlier this week, I believe on Tuesday or Wednesday. We decided to dine in so we could eat the pizza hot. It was freezing outaide but we sat to wait anyway because the place was packed inside so there wasn't indoor seating. When the pizza arrived it was only a few degrees from being completely cold pizza and it was also very soggy which was an uncomfortable combination texture wise. Still impressed by the flavor however it is definitely better hot. It was not a great experience the third time.

So that said, so far it's been 50-50 on the experience. I will likely be back again and if the quality improves Ill change the rating but for now I feel it's a...
