I've been ordering from Mia since it opened and consider myself one of their most loyal customers. But today was the last time. I ordered 6 wings and french fries and decided to pick up my order. I brought it home and the fries were burned to a crisp. The wings are called "Jumbo" wings but they were the tiniest wings I've ever seen and 2 wings were broken in half and the other halves were missing. So I tried to eat the burned fries but they were so gross I took them back. The owner was there and he saw the fries and was horrified. I showed him the 2 wings that I brought back as well and he felt bad and told me "I'm sorry I will take care of everything. Please have a seat." I was pleased and I expected nothing less. I wasnt sure what he would do, but I assumed he was refunding my money and re-making my meal. I sat for 10 minutes and some guy brought out french fries. I looked around and then told the manager how the owner said he was taking care of me and re-explained what happenned. I was told to have a seat again. I waited 15 more minutes, my fries got cold and they finally brought out a tiny piece of aluminum foil. When I asked what it was, I was told it was 2 wings. I busted out laughing. I couldn't believe I had to drive back there to get fries and wait a half hour and they made me (2) wings. I could see that no one was refunding my money or anything, so I just left knowing i would NEVER be back again. It's a real shame people don't know what good customer service is, especially for someone like me who has been a customer for years. I wasn't expecting a free meal, although that is what I would have done, but I thought they would at least give me a certificate for a future purchase or re-make my whole meal... so they lost a customer.

I don't know what the other posters are talking about. But I'd definitely rather get wings and pizza from here rather than papa johns, pizza hut or (shudder) voccellis pizza nearby. They're open late too!

I've been going here for a few years. The staff is really friendly, they'll throw in anything extra for an order (like napkins, plates, ranch, etc) and never charge you for it. The pizza has the optimal blend of sauce and cheese and is cheaper than all of the competitors in the area. The appetizers/snacks are all plentiful and again, cheaper than the competition. This is my go-to pizza place, and I'll keep coming back to it even though I live in the South Side.

After contemplating between two places to order wings, I went with Mia's. It was the worst mistake I could have made. I order their wings- they were over cooked, dry to the bone, and hardly a drop of sauce on them. DO NOT order their wings if you are looking for juicy, saucy wings. Terrible.

To pizza lovers do not order from MIA Pizza on baum blvd. I order food and it came over an 1 hr. They have horrible customer services and the girl had the nerve to tell they made order was made it late, so it would be deliver late. Never again will I waste my money for food that is unsatisfying. How do u expect a customer to be happy with a pizza that's cold ass hell and sauce less ass hot wings? Piss me off.

I have ordered here in the past and the pizza is okay. But this evening was a little different. I ordered an Italian hoagie, because I didn't want pizza. I remember in the past I was not a fan of the hoagie, but I had received a message from the owner stating that things would change. I decided to give it another shot. Let me tell you, nothing has changed. If anything it's worse than I remember. I requested mayonnaise exactly as before, and didn't get it. No pickles either. The hoagie was a hot sloppy mess. I'm not sure why it was hot, because nowhere on the menu does it warn you that it's toasted, and I certainly didn't request that. Gross. About four slices of meat, a mealy tomato slice and slimy warm lettuce. The lettuce and tomato must have been heated with the hoagie because they were so soggy they were mushed into the soggy bun. There were no onions or cheese to be found in this mess, although that is a detail the menu promises comes standard. I will not be ordering from this place again, and unless you're sticking to pizza and are drunk enough to forget even that mistake soon, I'd advise anyone to avoid it as well. There are so many great places to eat in this city, and Mia Pizza just doesn't keep up.

After tonight's endeavor I am done with Mia Pizza. When the order was placed it was specified that I wanted the meat tortellini in Alfredo sauce. What I ended up getting was meat ravioli in Alfredo sauce (which cost more). When I called back to Mia Pizza I was passed from one person to the next until the guy that took the initial order finally picked up the phone. When I told him that my order was wrong he proceeded to argue with me. At that point I got my friend who called the order in on the phone and shut him down. In order to get my right order I had to hand over my old order to them (which concerns me that they may have reserved that to someone else). Finally, after two hours after placing my order, I had my food in front of me. Might I say that it wasn't quite correct again. The first time I could let it slide, but this is the second time this month that I ordered and got the completely wrong menu item. After dealing with the wrong food and having to deal with an attitude, I am never coming back here again.

I've pretty much been exclusively ordering delivery pizza from this place for the last two and a half years. I like them because their pizza is pretty no-nonsense and it is cheap. Where else can you get an eight slice premium pie for under $18? My favorite is the Mia special pizza as it has plenty of meat and veggies. The dough isn't as crispy as I would like, but overall, the pizza is delicious. As for non-pizza fare, the house rolls with spinach and feta are amazing. I usually get that or wings with my order. The wings are ok--kind of expensive but the quality is standard, if not a little dry. I live right around the block from Mineo's / Aiello's / Napoli's, but I keep coming back to this place because it's affordable and I'm too lazy for pick up. I wouldn't recommend the hoagies, though. I had a couple and they weren't bursting with flavor & had too much bread going on.

Let me begin by saying that it is not possible to give less than one star, or I would have. The only stars I am seeing right now are the ones spinning around my head after taking one bite of my Chicken Alfredo that was sent to my house a few moments ago. My wife and I have ordered from Mia Pizza many times in the past and use GrubHub for delivery services. In the past, we have had good experiences with Mia Pizza, and it was "our pizza place". Tonight I ordered the "Chicken" Alfredo and my life has changed forever. What I received was noodles covered in "Chicken" and Alfredo sauce. At first bite I thought the chicken was under cooked (strange texture and tart flavor), but I rinsed it off in the sink and this revealed the "Chicken" had a lovely gray tint to it, topped off with a strange oily sheen. My wife took a small bite of the chicken and immediately wretched. I called GrubHub and simply asked for a refund of the "Chicken" Alfredo, a whopping $11.59. The guy from GrubHub told me he'd have to call the restaurant and ask for the money back. After about 5 minutes he came back on the line and told me the "manager" of Mia Pizza had said he was "very busy" and that I would personally have to RETURN THE "CHICKEN" ALFREDO myself for a refund. He then hung up the phone. I've gotta tell you, it is a great idea to tick off your customer base AND GrubHub as well. Sounds like they've got a rocket surgeon playing "manager" at Mia Pizza. On the positive side, I've been meaning to start working out again and I think the stomach cramps I will shortly experience will help with my AB definition. Mia Pizza has lost a loyal customer and we will go out of our way to let everyone we know that MIA PIZZA is NOT the place to eat. Steer clear at all costs.....

I ordered a spinach and feta pizza via grubhub. The food was phenomenal and timely. The delivery driver was personable and very kind. I would definitely recommend ordering from this establishment for their delicious food and fabulous service!

Just ordered a home delivery pizzas for a birthday party, instead of our original order of Vegetarian Pizza's we were sent the Non Vegetarian Pizza's , manger & delivery boy were too arrogant, low on etiquette and the manager went to the extent of threatening us to call cops just on our complaining and demanding them to exchange the entire order & just give us what we really did order. This business is a sham. PLEASE AVOID if you don't want to ruin you precious moments of celebration. Extremely extremely dissatisfied and annoyed that we chose this outlet.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
