I have long wanted to try this location, and especially the Reuben grinder (OMG). So, we meandered down Shaver on a gorgeous fall day. The parking lot (watch for the big pothole!) faces a beautifully gladed small woods. I was looking forward to eating outside in this little slice of nature. There are a few tables and chairs outside the building, located under the roof, which is helpful. The menu is either taped to the counter or as a sheet you can look at (see photo). There are a TON of choices! The staff was so kind and funny. We enjoyed talking with her. I got the Reuben and my husband got the House Specialty: Italian. These are hot subs, so you go sit and wait for them to come hot! I didn't love the music inside - seemed loud and there was also a tv going. I went to sit outside and there is also music PIPED OUTSIDE. I have one question: WHY?!!! When our sandwiches were ready, we went and sat in the car, windows rolled up to avoid the noise. We wanted them hot, or else we'd have driven a bit away to eat in peace. The grinders were hot, excellent bread, nice toppings. The meat was pretty stingy, imho. My Rueben had three thin slices of corned beef, a sprinkling of sauerkraut, a bit of melted swiss (yum), and plenty (thank you!) of thousand island dressing. I expected more meat and definitely more sauerkraut. The taste was delicious. I love that they come in a cardboard box - keeps the bread crispy and hot. If you must eat in your car, the box also unfolds into a sort of impromptu tray for your lap. We won't be returning to this location, because of what you actually get on your grinders, and the noise in the dining room and outside. Other locations are preferred for us for these reasons. read more

Mancino's pizza in Portage is a great place to stop if you're craving pizza. My girlfriend and I grabbed the 8" pizza and split it for $8. The sauce was delicious and crust was perfect. We waited approximately 20 minutes which isn't bad considering we came around the lunch rush. Overall this place is a great place to eat, and at a good price. Will be coming back to try out grinders! read more

After 40 years-since living in the area and when Mancino's opened- this has been our favorite pizza/Italian food place. We've been out of the Portage area for 30 years, living in NY and OH areas, we came back to visit friends this last week. Of course, we had to come back to Mancino's! The food was plentiful and delicious. The staff friendly. They accommodated our allergies without blinking an eye. Great place to visit and eat! read more

Called in an order. Came in 30 minutes as that's what they said... and am on minute 25 of waiting her. I just want watched them put my grinder in the oven, 50 minutes after ordering it on the phone. This is the third time in a row I've waited at least 15 minutes after a phone order. Stop coming here. It's expensive and slow and just sucks now. read more

Good pizza, the best grinders in the city. They have an awesome ice cream shop next-door as well. I highly recommend them both.

Ordered what used to be our favorite sandwich--the triple decker but as you can see from the picture, the roast beef looks like it's ground, and there's barely any meat on it. One tomato slice on each quarter only. The standards have definitely been lowered! Very disappointed with my triple decker--more bread and mayo than meat! We have come to this location for years! The sandwiches used to have lots of meat and real slices of roast beef! Very disappointed in the lowered standards in the sandwiches read more

Although stop by joint near Ferris State University, Big Rapids, MI, I got word from a realible source that the quality of my pizza grinder, which is superb, would have the same quality ingredients and prep in Portage, MI close to my home. The proof will be in an anticipated taste test very soon. read more

Love that they offer gluten free options that are delicious. I go out of my way sometimes to find a location when traveling the state.

I had high hopes for this place but my pizza was overcooked that there was no cheese, I ordered the meat lovers and the "meat" was unrecognizable except for 1 pepperoni. It was so dried that you could lift the toppings in one crusty piece and the dough was left empty. It almost burnt (see pictures) the cheesy breadsticks were okay, very cheesy but they put paper in between them that cause the cheese to get stuck to it. The marinara sauce was so dried you couldn't pick it up with the breadsticks, it had the consistency of jam. I will not be returning. For the price I've had better pizza at little Caesar's. The dog liked it but she would eat crap. Very disappointed. read more

I have been coming here since I was in MIDDLE SCHOOL . This place hasn't changed much and I love that about it! Consistency. They have been my go to place for a grinder for 20+ years and it won't change anytime soon. My absolute favorite grinder is the roast beef. There is something about a classic that is delicious! Roast beef with the perfect thickness, mozzarella cheese so meaty and gooey, perfectly sliced tomatoes, mayo (or in my case extra mayonnaise) and that ... is... it. Simple as that! I always think I can eat a whole grinder which is 16". I am always happily left with 1/2 of my grinder to eat later They have so many options, like I said, roast beef, the Italian, meatball is my son's favorite, my husband always gets the Mancino's club, my daughter loves the pizza grinder, they have a great choice! They just recently started having fries! Which makes my heart happy!!! And they have a Coca-Cola freestyle machine, who doesn't love 100 choices of drinks? Mancino's has a great lunch deal too! Your choice of salad or 1/2 grinder, side of fries, or chips, chili or soup and a drink for $7.50! My hubby and I just love the lunch deal! They also have a great deal every Tuesday kids eat free from 5-9 pm (one kid per adult) this is the best!!! I HIGHLY suggest bringing your family or ordering online over the phone and picking up!! read more

Mancino's in portage has always been a favorite. I have enjoyed their food since I was quite young. Their grinders are the best sandwiches around. Their menu has many options besides the grinders, many of which I have had and enjoy very much. Their service is always top notch and although I get takeout more than anything the food is even better eating in their dining area, which includes a coke machine with a large choice of flavors. read more

Loved the Club and the salad. Quick check out and food was ready when I got there to pick it up.

Delicious food & great service! Mancino's is always a must try for my boyfriend and I when we are in Michigan! My boyfriend grew up on Mancino's and I know why. We usually get the Italian Grinder on white bread & I like to add lettuce. The pizza is also delicious. If you haven't been here I definitely recommend it. read more

We got take out - pizza and grinders taste pretty good. The half sandwich is a really good size. But we had ordered a 4 topping pizza (and charged accordingly) and one of the topping was completely omitted. The other toppings were also somewhat scant. Maybe it's an honest mistake but it was pretty disappointing overall. read more

Fantastic grinders. Expedient service. Wonderful lunch specials and very reasonable food. Couple tables to sit outside when it's nice enough out. The bread is to die for! The bread for the grinders is fresh and baked daily. You can eat almost anything on that bread and enjoy it! read more

Best sandwiches in Kalamazoo/portage after your done you can also get a ice cream from Bella creamy which is also amazing!!

We don't eat subs and grinders very often anymore, unlike our years spent in college where it seemed we lived at (the long past) Sunshine Sub on Westnedge. But, when we do get this food group, we tend to head to this location and we tend to go for take out. This location has a Reuben knockoff that is very satisfying, and I like their Meatball grinder. My girl enjoys grinders with turkey (as the dominant protein), sometimes with ham, sometimes without. The grinders are prepared in a timely manner and seem to have good value for the money. read more

Mancino's Pizza & Grinders - Pizza Near Me - Portage, Michigan

Usually we come about every 2 weeks for pizza night at our house, every time I call to place an order, I have to say, do not burn it. This is the 3rd time we have ordered and they have had to remake it being it's burnt and then when I got home, it was half raw...I can order from anywhere else and it's not burnt, so then when I told them it was burnt the manager, I am assuming he is, said that it was not burnt and that's the way our pizzas are and had a huge attitude. Check your temps or something because the one on Gull rd and Mattawan do not come out like that. I have to say, we will not return to this one. read more

Best pizza I had in a while. Loved the crust, it reminded me of a Pizzeria at home The subs are enormous and very tasty. Live that they bake them as well. Always a great stop on the way from the airport, makes you feel right at home! read more

Holy moly were these grinders huge! We ordered in last week while all restaurants were closed except for delivery or pickup only. Easy order process and quick ready time. I was shocked when my fiance brought them home at their size! But they were definitely tasty - cheesy & flavorful; what you expect from a grinder. We recently moved to this part of town, we'll be back again. read more

I ordered a 16" italian grinder on my lunch break to split amongst coworkers. It took them 25 minutes to make and bring me a pizza, completely different than what i ordered. when I brought this up to the owner, he acted as though i was inconveniencing him. he was snide and rude, as well as reluctant to refund me when i didn't have time for him to make my order again. The food may be good but the customer experience is abhorrent. read more

Very poor customer service. Food was 30 minutes late, and an item was missing. When I called to explain an item was missing they told me I never ordered it..but I did. Nonetheless, they gave me a hassle about making the item, and made fun of me while they had me on hold!!! I never write reviews, and I never complain. Won't order anymore after years of eating Mancino's. It's gone downhill. read more

Like this pizza shop food is great and it's very tasty and its bearing rate And it always feels like it is one of my fingers pizza joint and I love their Pizza it's greatThanks read more

Mancino's Pizza & Grinders - Love grinders from Mancinos ~today's choice pizza sub~ - Pizza Near Me - Portage, Michigan

I have been looking all over for my Mancino's fix since it left my hometown. A review from Yelp led me to this location. It did not disappoint. From the service, cleanliness, and FOOD I was thoroughly pleased and well worth the ride in crappy weather. Doesn't hurt it's located next to an ice cream shoppe. Win. Win. read more

Great place for takeout. We always get the cheese bread. We usually stick to the smaller pizzas so the crust stays nice and crispy. Can't go wrong with the grinders either, they don't skimp on the ingredients that's for sure! read more

Once a week, for the past two years, I have ordered a small Pride pizza from Mancino's. A small size is the right size for my family. This week I ordered my usual and was told I couldn't order a small, I had to move up to a medium. I did not WANT a medium. I was told the owners made that decision. If that's going to be your rule, perhaps you should change your posted menu. I ended up ordering a medium, but was unhappy. read more

After being away for 6 years in the Navy, my mouth began to water for a delicious Mancino's grinder . Their bread is never burnt, but toasted just right. Hands down, the best grinders in all of Michigan. read more

Love Mancinos. Don't et this place confused with the "Samuel mancinos" in Mattawan. They are not the same!

Our favorite grinders are at Mancinos. Italian grinder=dancing taste buds. The pizza is amazing too. This is a locals favorite, a place where we go just on a weekend, during a shopping trip, after a game, or when we want to get the family all in one place. And with Bella's Creamery right next door, it's the perfect combo. We've been going to Mancinos since it first opened & are never disappointed. Now that we've grown & moved away, we frequent here on our visits home, and our kids love it just as much as we do. read more

Mancino's Pizza & Grinders - Italian Grinder = pure mouthwatering deliciousness - Pizza Near Me - Portage, Michigan

Usually have a great experience but today I got the pleasure of waiting forty plus minutes for them to remake my sandwich just for them to say they'll get to it. I'm usually super patient but this is a little excessive. The pizza was good so they can have two stars. Edit: Had to request that my sandwich they said would be remade, actually get made and then waited another 25 minutes. I'm taking the second star back. read more

Horrible neighbor, this morning workers were pressure washing equipment on Sunday morning before 9 am with a noisy gas unit and allowed the runoff into the street. The food is overpriced, not really very good quality and most of the employees are screw ups, they can be heard in the evenings shouting and talking loudly by the nearby residents. Constantly in violation of noise ordinances by running equipment and generators at all hours This business does not belong near residential neighbors and needs to go . read more

The kids working don't know anything about food safety. He was talking on the phone with one glove and when he was done kept the same one glove on to make my food. The other hand had no glove on, other employees were complaining about remaking my food because they messed up in the first place. I'm very disappointed with the lack of customer service and the way they're taking the sanitation. Definitely need better and more experienced people working read more

This is my favourite place to get grinders, hands down. They have so many choices and I have yet to be disappointed. I have not yet tried their pizza, but it's also a big seller from what I see from other customers. This restaurant can be a little chilly, but the employees' kindness should help warm your spirits. I do caution that it is a popular place, especially for Sunday lunch, so it can get a little crowded. However, once you're done with your meal, Bella Creamery is right next door to satisfy your sweet tooth. Overall great food and proximity to dessert. read more

You can't go wrong with Mancino's! Their menu caters to everyone's preferences and their pizza is THE BEST.

If you're a military member or veteran, ask for their military discount- they will treat you well! read more

Gosh, this food is good! My favorite is the Italian Grinder. Even the small one is more than I can eat, and everyone is so friendly here. Also, they now have the Bella's Creamery right next door for a fantastic ice cream fantasy dessert! read more
