Mineo’s Pizza & Wings

Great food, it’s fresh, and the amount won’t leave you wanting more. Down side, SLOW SLOW SLOW, it takes no less that an hour and a half just to eat anything there. I don’t know why the kitchen is so slow. Also there is almost no staff. One waitress for the lunch rush. Would live to go back but service is to slow to go here for lunch.

My server Amelia was absolutely amazing. She was very helpful in making our choices for dinner. Her recommendations were all top notch. We really enjoyed the entire dining experience and would definitely recommend this to all of our friends. Thank you for the great food, great service m, and the amazing dining experience.

Found this phenomenal place on Unilocal.A review can’t do it justice. Fantastic food. Unbelievably friendly and helpful staff… and cold beers. Well done guys. You rock!

Unilocal won’t let me update my review (keeps telling me to try again later) so I am editing it instead. My original review follows my update.
Ok, so here’s an update — just a few short hours later…
I called the restaurant to see if I left my cellphone (luckily I didn’t). The shift supervisor knew who I was and immediately apologized for my experience. She said that no one brought the issue to her attention, and said she totally understood how bad this was, and was extremely apologetic about the whole thing.
The owner immediately responded to my review on Unilocal,and the supervisor asked me to give them another chance — on the house. I’ve updated my review to reflect that the management team really is staying on top of service failures — and what business doesn’t have those every once in awhile?
While things can sometimes slip through the cracks, it’s the recovery that matters most. The food was actually pretty good, so I’m updating their rating to three stars. After my next visit, I will update it again.

Initial review…
I really wanted to like this place. Old school video games for the kids, good-​looking menu, and a full bar. Turns out they don’t have their liquor license anymore — so no wine for me this evening. Bummer. Moving on… order the house specialty — meatballs as our appetizer. They come out cold. I cut into one, took a bite the same time my friend did, and we both got cold meatballs. So I put my half eaten meatball back and the waitress offered to bring out a new order. Ten minutes later — the SAME half eaten meatball is RE-​SERVED! YHGTBFKM!!!

Service was prompt and friendly. I had the naked wings with krypton sauce. Quite possibly the best sauces wings ever and I eat a lot of wings. Pizza and pasta dishes looked really good. Was busy but not packed. I’ll be back a lot.

You can’t go wrong with a trip to Mineo’s. They have the best pizza menu and don’t pass the breaded or my personal favorite naked hot wings!

I ordered in Jan of this year for a private party. It was great! As a user group organizer I can’t afford $ 20 pizza very often but as it nears the end of the year I thought it would be a nice treat.
One night we went there after a meeting and learned they were doing away with the full bar, so that means no more going there after meetings as beer doesn’t go over with some folks. We just wanted to test things out before purchasing food from them for our meeting.
September we ordered 4 lg pizzas and 3 dzn garlic knots. They don’t have a delivery driver so I have to pick it up, no big deal they are near by. Everything was ready but I had 2 minor issues. The new guy couldn’t give me the discount they have listed on their site and menu and they couldn’t use a pre-​paid visa card. We had Italian Stallions and The Tuscan White. Both went over well.
October we needed to cut cost a bit and had a larger crowd. We ordered 8 pizzas and 2 dzn knots. The pizza wasn’t ready when we got there. They sent 5 of the pizzas out to sit in my car for 10 minutes while I waited for the other 3 to get done. They couldn’t use the pre-​paid visa (it would have needed 2 payments as there wasn’t enough this time for all of the purchase) but did manage to give us a discount. I was extremely disappointed in the greasy mess we severed our user group. Even the red sauce and veggie pizza was greasy. It was so disgusting that we didn’t even want to eat it or take the left overs home. We actually waited and ate at near by restaurant after the meeting. I tried twice to call and speak to the owner (Jen is her name I think) and the staff was not so pleasant and no one offered up a manager or any suggestions. This is the veggie pizza
and this is the red sauce
. It is hard to see in the red sauce but that shinny part is all grease sitting on top. I expect this type of thing for $ 9 pizza from the big delivery places but when a veggie pizza cost $ 18.95 and sausage & pepperoni is $ 16.05 I think they can do better.
Since there seems to be a lack of consistency I guess we’ll have to try other near-​by pizza places for our meetings. I don’t like being late, don’t like having cold pizza (sitting in the car 10 min), and I don’t care for grease slicks on anything.

I found this place one day when I was at the galleria and craves some wings but I didn’t want bww. I’m very picky with my wings and not a lot of places get my order wrong this place however was perfect. I now live in Murfreesboro now and anytime I’m craving wings this is where I come. I haven’t tried there pizza but I did see one come out and it looked delicious. I will be having pizza and wings the next time. The owner Jen Mineo was my server and she made sure my order was right especially since I told her that no place ever gets my order right. I will definitely be back!!!

Always a perfect pizza here, Hot wings are my Favorite in Nashville. Been here dozens of times and Always great pizza and hot wings. Very family friendly. Stopped by for early lunch today and was thrilled to see new additional seating as well. Few video games to keep kids occupied and plenty of TV’s to view games. You need to check this place out.

I was a little torn on my rating here but I went with the lower option of 3 stars due to a few concerns…
First of all, the pizza is good so if you are having a craving for pizza then yes, they have a good product to offer. It’s described as NY style but i felt like it was a little thicker than the typical thin crust New York style i’ve had other places. It seemed to take a while for it to be brought out saying as there were only 4 or 5 groups in the restaurant at the time but it wasn’t an obnoxiously long wait.
My complaints: The waiter. My friend and I had never been here before so we asked for a few suggestions and if he liked the pizza or wings better. His response was «the wings, but I’m not really a pizza person.» Really!?! and you’re working at a pizza place? Maybe not the best suggestion tip from him. We also had to keep asking for water refills which he was prompt at doing once we asked but again since the place was not at all busy I felt like he could have been paying better attention to our needs. We also asked about the «raw bar» items since it is part of the restaurants name and he gave us some story about how he used to sell two buckets worth when they first started and it gradually declined and died off completely but he had no idea why. Um maybe the oysters you were giving weren’t good? Maybe they shouldn’t advertise the raw bar part as much as they do since its not even on the menu anymore.
I feel bad not giving the most raving review for a local establishment especially since it seems like at one time this place was probaby hoppin with business but they just didn’t wow me.

My BF used to live nearby and always raved about Mineo’s wings. I was in the area shopping so decided to stop in for wings togo and surprise him. The restaurant is located in a strip mall but once you step inside it is very charming. The bar looks like something out of an old Italian restaurant in Brooklyn.
They serve several beers on tap including locals. While waiting, I asked about the Strawberry Picnic beer (a Blackstone brew) and they offered me a very nice sized sample. It’s delicious by the way if you like that kind of thing. Picked up my order and headed home.
These wings are FOR REAL and I usually don’t like chicken wings. Crispy skin and very tasty even without sauce. AND the sauces are great. We had medium and hot. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Not very impressed. It’s been around forever, and you can tell not much has changed through the years. Just feels tired and mediocre food at best.

Wings were decent. They don’t let you choose all flats or all drums like the other review says. They also don’t let you mix sauces. If you get 20 wings, you have to pay more to get two different sauces (10 one flavor/​10 another flavor.
I’ve had better food and better experience at other places. Wouldn’t recommend.

We were with an out of town basketball team and all 25+ of our group were greeted and taken care of from this fabulous staff. At the time, I had certain food restrictions I had to adhere to and the staff was helpful and patient to meet my needs. Will definitely be back if ever in the area. Thanks!!!

Mineo’s is great but I had average this visit. The pizza is still great –flavorful sauce and meat toppings are authentic Italian. My son loved his Calzone and other son had chicken which is also good.
The manager wrote me and said it was a busy night (Final Four) and the sauce and meatballs didn’t get their normal attention. I had written «Skip the spaghetti and meatballs — which used to be a specialty. The sauce is watery and the meatballs now have no texture and are bready. The wings were great but the last time they were drowning in sauce. Like swimming in it. The chicken tenders are good though. «
I’ll go back and look forward to a return to «amazing»

Came in for lunch with co-​workers on a Friday afternoon. We had an awesome server who was very quick and very attentive, even with 6 of us. Several of us got the pizza slice and salad combo, some others got a wrap, some wings, etc. Everyone liked their food, everyone said it was good, which it is good. I ordered a slice of pizza and asked for buffalo chicken on top. It was good, not amazing not bad, just better than okay. I had a side salad with a side of ranch. It has these huge delicious croutons on it and it was a nice size. I would probably come back for lunch because it’s across the street from my office. But, there is some seriously stiff competition for amazing pizza around Nashville, and this was just pretty good.

I don’t think I’ve ever had Mineo’s pizza but I have had their raspberry wings which are very unique and flavorful, and I also really like their meatball sub. It’s huge!
I’ve also had their oysters. They were good.
When my mom comes in from out of state we usually go to Mineo’s. They also have a ton of TV’s if you’re wanting to catch a sports game.

I was pleasantly approached by a great server…
Our appetizer was hot when it arrived. Cheesy bread with pepperoni. It had a great proportion of cheese with a pepperoni in every bite. Crusty on outside, inside was perfect. Cut in 2 bite preportions.
We ordered the 20 wing sampler. Mixing it up quite a bit… surprised the server did not write it down! Everything came out just as ordered, right down to only flats on one half of the order and one quarter of the order breaded. the hot wings could have been hotter. But the sweet chili and teriyaki were devine. The buffalo teriyaki was so so. all in all a great experience.

I frequented this place after it first opened when I lived nearby. I remember when they first didn’t serve alcohol, then beer only… now have a full bar; but, I digress. I was in the area and decided to drop in with a friend, for lunch. I had the steak hoagie, which was underwhelming at best. I love bread/​buns/​hoagie rolls, but I could barely taste the under– seasoned, overlooked meat. The fries were good, but we’re not great. My girlfriend had a grilled chicken salad which she loved. She said it was fresh and the chicken was tasty. If I was basing my review on MY lunch, I would’ve given a 3 star, but combining her 5 star salad… you got it… a 4 star. Next time I come in, I need to remember what made this place so great, pizza, wings and beer.

Last night my husband and I stopped at Mineo’s because he «felt like pizza.» We’ve been there, I’d say a dozen times in the last few years but it had probably been almost a year since our last visit. We always liked it well enough… I’m not one of those «I’m from New York so I KNOW…» types. I wouldn’t know a NY pizza if I sat on it. I know that I really like some pizza, tolerate a lot of others and strongly dislike a few others. Anyway, Mineo’s was always a safe bet for pie and cold beer.
Until last night. The pizza was pretty dreadful. The crust was rock hard and the sauce was sweet (and not in a good way). I was really glad we only ordered a 12-​inch because I would have begrudged the waste of money if we’d had to leave half of a larger pizza.
Now that the pizza kind of sucks, the other things bother me more too. I was always willing to look over the chaotic atmosphere and the shoddy service… but last night it was annoying as hell. One thing Mineo’s has NEVER figured out is how to bring out an appetizer well ahead of the main course. On previous visits we went so far as to just order an appetizer, finish it and then order the pizza because I can’t tell you how many times we’d get both of them together… after explicitly telling the server how we wanted it. Well last night we got the chips & queso about 30 seconds before the pizza… no kidding. Hubby ordered a Blue Moon and I got a Stella. They told me that was their last Stella. OK, fine. When hubby ordered his second Blue Moon I said I’d have one too. Well, they blew the keg on half of one of the beers… this is at 7:00 on Saturday night. Good grief.
So…the whole time, I was thinking «Crap, I’m gonna have to go demote this place on Unilocal». Well, I’ll be dipped… I’d never reviewed them in the first place! So… they get a solid 2 stars and I don’t even feel bad about it. Fix your pizza, Mineo’s…it was the only thing you had going for you. I’m not going to tolerate your crappy TVs, inept wait staff and noisy atmosphere for that stuff you gave us last night.
