Maka Mia Pizza LLC — Restaurant in Vienna

Not a bad place. It has a lot of potential. Just could use a few tweaks. Let's get into it.

First, the positives:

The staff were all very nice, in a great mood, and a joy to talk to.

The atmosphere is very nice, laid back and mellow. The layout is mostly the same from when the building was Moe's, but that's not a bad thing. The dining area is well laid out and even has an outdoor seating area. The order area is interesting, even if it's a little backwards, (including signs that tell you to go to the back to order instead of the front). 8/10

Now the harder part. The food. Which is a blend of positives and negatives. Keep in mind, I DIDN'T get any pizza and it's a pizza place, so this may only apply to the other food.

The bacon cheese fries. The fries were good, but not as crispy as they could be. The cheese was delicious, but also burned to the corners of the pan. The bacon was crispy, good flavor, best part of the dish. All in all, good. But could be made great with more crisp on the fries and a little less cook time on the cheese. 7/10

The pub cheeseburger. I'm a firm believer that the burger is a good indicator of the quality of a place's food. However, I hope that's not the case here. The patty tasted store bought frozen, with no seasoning. The bun and all of the toppings were pretty decent, like a burger you'd make at home. While technically there wasn't anything wrong with it, it wasn't great. A burger with the quality of Broadway Sandwich Shop for Hardee's Frisco price. My only advice is to make that patty fresh or adjust that price. 4/10

Pizza pasta bowl. The pasta was tasty, and just the right al dente. The cheese was fantastic, just like the fries. The pepperoni was good, but a sparse. Only 5 pieces for the whole bowl? I was expecting a layer, or maybe some mixed into the pasta. But just 5? Disappointing. The biggest negative was the sauce. While it was tasty, and even had a hint of spice and heat that I liked, it was REALLY thin. With the sauce being so watery and the choice of noodles being cavatappi, it made it really hard to get any sauce to stick to the noodles or to even keep the pasta on your fork. Very slippery. My only advice to either really thicken that sauce or swap out the noodle choice, and throw a few more pepperonis in for good measure. 6.5/10

Conclusion: Maka Mia Pizza is off to a good start on their non pizza items. While the recipes might need a few tweaks, the dining experience itself is laid back and a great place to relax. The staff are nice and courteous. The place is kept clean. And, while I might be avoiding the burger for a bit to see if things change, I'll be heading back before too long to try...

Ate a buffalo chicken sub, which was comparable quality with most fast food sub shops. Was rather unhappy with the exorbitant charge for a mere styrofoam cup to fill with tap water. McDonalds across the street will charge $0.25 for a cup of ice water which is understandable because it is an expense to provide the cup, but the charge shouldn't be WAY more than that. Will be an improvement compared to the downtown location after a few kinks are worked out, including hopefully moving the menu displays over to the entrance so they can be read before you are...

I'm not sure why you changed your food but it is not the high grade it was about 4 weeks ago. One of the kitchen staff informed me today the franchise told them to raise prices. Raised prices is okay, but soggy hot dog buns and a small salad is only a 1 1/2 cups of lettuce....sorry but I wouldn't recommend your store again. I definitely will not be back. For $10 (hotdogs and small salad).. at your place.. I could have spent 11.99 at Texas Roadhouse and had a 6oz steak, baked potato and a salad. I am sure you know where I will spend $10.00 and...
