Mike's Pizza & Pub

This my go to place for pizza in the area. They have a thin crust pizza that makes the toppings shine. I love the hawaiian with the diced ham and pineapple (no slices here!).  If you are downtown you can do dinner & a movie. Get ice cream and walk along the river in the summertime.

This place has plenty of good reviews and we were in the mood for pizza or burgers and decided to try it out. Most of the restaurants in the little waterfront strip there are decent and/or newer, so I was expecting the same out of this place.

It has much more of a family restaurant vibe than the other places (read: kids and teenagers). Some of the less-used taps taste like they need to be changed. The tables were a little grimy and the entire place could have benefited from a deep cleaning. It wasn't to the point of being disgusting but it was noticeable. The food we had (pizza and a burger) wasn't bad but nothing spectacular and definitely nothing you can't find anywhere else. The service was about what you could expect from a surly late-teens server who probably wanted to be somewhere else that night.

This seems like one of those places that if you like and become a regular, it might grow on you. As there are other, more enjoyable experiences around here, I won't be giving it the chance.

The food = best pizza in town hands down

The staff = friendly & fast

You = should go here & eat the T-Rex pizza
