Mancino’s Pizza & Grinders

This was one of my favorite pizza places growing up. Nothing extraordinary, just really good pies and excellent grinders. Your not going to get the best pizza you’ve ever had, nor will this crack your top ten (if you’re a pizza aficionado like myself), but you are going to get a pie that you’re not going to complain about. Like the previous review this is especially important in a town that loves pizza chains (even better it seems like ¾ of them are located in strip malls) you’re not going to find a ton of Toledo original pizza joints. Mancino’s is truly a Toledo original. The style of pizza is pretty normal hand tossed style, a little thicker than thin crust. Standard toppings but the cheese and sauce stand out as to why the pizza here is really good. I’ve had both the pizza and bbq beef grinder and would recommend both. I also highly suggest the garlic bread. Great bread and even better garlic butter spread with a healthy (well probably unhealthy) amount of cheese on top. This place also does slices of pizza, so its a great place to stop for lunch. To sum up this is not the best pizza I’ve ever had but its the type of place I always want around the corner from my house, a good neighborhood pizza joint is hard to find. ***To note none of the locations are open on Sunday**

In a town invaded with Marco’s Pizza, it is quite comforting to find that Mancino’s Pizza exists. Three of my friends and I stopped in to go over an upcoming project over grinders and a pizza.
While I can’t vouch for the grinders themselves, my friends claim that they are of the perfect texture and taste — ya know when the bread has the right amount of crunchiness and the sauce isn’t overpowering the entire sandwich? THAT kind of perfection. I, on the other hand, ordered a small Super Veggie pizza. So what differentiates a Super Veggie from a regular ol’ Veggie? The fact that anything and everything you would claim to be a vegetable (including pineapple!) managed to find its way on my pizza as a topping. Chockfull of wholesome toppings and loaded with stringy mozarella — just the way I like my pizza to be.
Even though a friend claimed that Mancino’s has raised its prices, I still find them to be very reasonable. Clearly, if you are looking for a $ 5 large pizza, you’ll need to go elsewhere. That nasty Little Caesar’s, anyone? Or how about that horrid Marco’s Pizza?
