Mansetti's Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in St. Francis

First time we have been here. Went at 11:30 on a Wednesday, the buffet opened at 11:00. We were the only ones in there. Salad bar very limited, Lettuce, green olives, onion, peppers,and pepperoni. Two kinds of pasta. One had a cup of noodles in it, other had more but didn’t look like they were fully cooked. Two sauces, the red was very good, the white tasted like flour. Nothing else on the buffet. After a while the put a few sliced of cheese bread out, another 3 people came in. They finally put one pizza out, center was not cooked and topping slid right off of the crust. When pizza was down to one slice they put out a new pizza . Pepperoni and green olive. Maybe we just came at a bad time, , but if I go to a buffet that opens at 11:00 and I get there at 11:30, I should not have to wait for them to cook the food, and I would expect more than one pizza...

The key to Mansetti's pizza is its "crackeriness" - yes, it's thin, cracker-like crust. It's reminiscent of what you might find at a place like Carbone's. The crackeriness quotient diminishes the longer the pizza cools, so another key is to eat this pizza hot and fresh from the oven. Do so, and your tastebuds will reward you with a perfectly thin, crispy crust, topped with great toppings and generous amounts of cheese. It's awesome.

During the week, they offer a pizza buffet which is a great deal. It includes salad, garlic cheese bread, a dessert item, pasta with two kinds of sauce, soup, and as much pizza as you can shake a stick at.

This is a great, small, cozy, local pizzeria. I loved it and will...

Not at all impressed. One order of spaghetti and meatballs, and one order of rigatoni supreme. We both had garlic toast with cheese and garden salads, all to go.. We were not informed of any additional costs when asked if we wanted the cheese on the bread, but charged extra. Also an extra charge for the dressing for the tiny salad with month old lettuce, no tomatoes, couple little pieces of cucumber. Also found out there was an extra charge for the meatballs for the spaghetti and meatballs. A $28.00 meal turned into $45.00. What a joke...
