Mancino’s Pizza & Grinders of Battle Creek

Pizza was good
Mushrooms were fresh, not canned. He crust was good, NOT bready and overly thick.

Great food as always. Food comes in a reasonable amount of time. Plenty of seating. A little nosy in the room.

So they just built this place and my curiosity had to be satiated; it looks all new and shiny from the road.
What a mistake to try this place.
I ordered a BLT (bacon, lettuce, & tomato) and after waiting 15 minutes, my sandwich came out. It was super greasy, the bacon was mostly raw, and I’m certain a microwave was used in the «cooking» of the bacon.
I don’t ask for much:
Please cook meat to the right temp, and please quit using microwaves to cook things.

Would give a 0 star rating if I could!
Stopped in for a sandwich with the wife on the way home. We ordered 2 grinders and sat down and waited… and waited… and waited till everyone that had came in slightly before to 15 mins after we ordered as they all got their food. Then we waited some more until an employee finally took a break from the stimulating conversation that all the teenagers were laughing and having a good time with and came over and asked if we were waiting on a order. We showed her our receipt and she went and checked in the back, only to find out order didn’t exist. Had to ask for money back!
DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU ARE INTO TORTURING YOURSELF BY SITTING AND WAITING FOR FOOD WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY!
Ever since they have opened the new location everything about this place SUCKS!
I will never spend another cent here! Thanks for ruining my dinner!!!

Since they’ve moved the service is full of attitude (not good either) and the food was only so so. Way too much mayo on the sandwich and crust and edges of pizza were charred. We have always loved this place, so I am sad it isn’t what it used to be.

Where do I start, they got our order wrong, they had trash everywhere, and I saw 4 out of 5 employees eating all the chips instead of working

Ok, I was looking forward to the new store opening, but it ended up being a disappointment.
The food still tastes good, even though my order was jacked, but it’s like eating in a cave.
I suppose it is alright if they were going for an industrial look, but it’s very impersonal, loud and echoed a lot. Just not enjoyable for me.

I was very disappointed tonight with my salad. I ordered the Taco Salad. They didn’t give me any sour cream or salsa and the salad was cold and bland. I was not impressed, and will not have another salad again. Their grinders are still great, but stay away from their salads.

Had the ham and salami grinder. Was delicious however there was so much Ham on it that in the center the ham was cold. Just my preference but I’d have taken a little less ham so that it was warmed all the way through.

Great grinders

Very casual dining. Great place to hang with friends on a Saturday night and you want to play board games. Only wish they stayed open a little later then 10pm.
If you want a GREAT cheese pizza that tastes like the east coast this is the place to come. We’ve tried going back to other big name chain places for pizza and always end up disappointed. The sauce just has great NY flavor.
Their grinders are also good. Love the vegetarian with added pineapple and french dressing.

One night after a long day at work, I was looking for something hot, filling and fast so I could sit back and relax, watch some college football and drink a beer or two.
I saw this place from the road, Pizza and Grinders! I haven’t had an oven grinder since college. I thought I would stop in and give this place a try. Mancino’s has about a dozen different varieties of grinders, I tried the Italian which had salami, ham and provolone cheese. The half was about $ 4.75 and the whole, which is twice as big was about $ 6.50. I ordered the whole.
My sandwich was ready in about five minutes. The sandwich was hot and a bit greasy. It was also served with lettuce on top and what I think was olive oil and organo dressing. It also appeared to have been pressed, much like a cuban sandwich. The whole was so big I barely got into the second half before I set it aside. The sandwich was definitely hot, the bread fresh and the portions large. The only thing that turned me off a bit was the greasiness. Not a bad thing, just not for me.
The dining area was spacious and a bit dark, reminiscent of the old Shakey’s pizza chain. Basic formica top dining.
The place is definitely worth a second stop. I consider it more conductive to take out rather than eat in but to each his own.

Great grinders. HUGE.

I haven’t lived in Michigan since 94′, but everytime I come back to visit family, I go to Mancino’s. THE best grinders in the free world, and they’re cheap! If I knew I was going to die, and had only only meal left, this would be it. The Italian grinder is my favorite, but they have a great menu. Next time your in the mood for some great grub, hit up Mancino’s; you’ll never eat Quizno’s again.

So you want a huge tasty sandwhich for only a few bucks? You are in luck this place has the best grinders around. The pizza is pretty bomb too.

Sooooo good. If you’re looking for afordable Italian sandwiches, go here. They specialize in «grinders» which are open face sub type things full of meat, cheese, and veggies. The best though is their garlic bread. It’s made with this amazing garlic butter spread and topped with lots of cheese. Mmm. I could eat it everyday!
