(That's the one without the unbleached enriched white flour American products use.) I had the hand tossed original crust, specifically with white sauce, chicken, onion, mushrooms, asiago, mozzarella and parmesian. Delicioso! The house white wine in Cloe du Bois....very nice. The house red is Dark Horse cab. Jordan was my server. I loved her service, knowledge, and laid back professionalism. Her hair is gorgeous: long and black. She recognized me as soon as I walked in, despite being otherwise preoccupied. I appreciated that. While the inside is low-lighting, the ceilings are extremely high. There are several TVs tuned to sports. While there is a small patio out front along the street, the better one is the larger, covered patio (door found near the bar). There's a patio indoor/outdoor wooden Barton counter that is encompassed by the bar with raised windows on good weather days. There's plenty of tables on this back patio as well.

Bartender/Manager(?) took our drink order and brought garlic knots to snack on. Nice touch, guess this is like offering dinner rolls...? Either way, they were good and much appreciated. Decent selection of beers and even a few craft options avaliable too. Bar area was buzzing during our visit and it appears they have some drink specials throughout the week. They were showing the NFL game, so good spot to catch a game too. Seating is a mix of tables and booths, and a bar in the back corner. We ordered 2 personal pizza options (4 slices, 8 inch), 1 was a custom order and other was their menu offering with spicy marinara, sausage, jalapenos and pepper jack cheese. Pizzas arrived pretty quickly. The crust was larger than expected and was a little more doughy than expected. Not bad, just not what we were expecting for hand-tossed crust options. Toppings were appropriate, so no concerns there. The pizza was good, not great, no complaints...just average pizza, similar to what you might get from a delivery pizza place. The server was really good and seemed to be covering the entire place, and yet she stopped by multiple times to check on us and refill glasses. I think I'd like to give the location another try again in the future.

We live nearby and wanted to try this place after we saw the positive YELP reviews. Once again,…read moreYELP for the win!! We started with the Arancini, a deep-fried ball of rice, pesto and mozzarella; rolled in bread crumbs. Never had anything like it before. It's amazing. Their tomato sauce is so fresh and salted perfectly. For your entrees, you "build your own"....choose your pasta, the sauce and the protein.My wife had the penne pasta, tomato sauce and meatballs. Very good. I chose the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce. Excellent. The bread is also terrific. Prices are fair. Service very attentive. It is a very minimalist dining room, boardering on spartan, but who cares, you can't eat ambience. We will definitely be back. Want to try their margherita pizza. Also saw another diner's entree of pasta with pesto sauce. This place lived up to its stellar YELP score!!

Pastaza in Trophy Club keeps things simple, and that choice pays off…read more The menu sticks to Italian basics. Nothing feels padded or overworked. What lands on the table tastes careful and confident, like a kitchen that knows when to stop. Sauces feel balanced. Pasta comes out cooked right, not rushed and not tired. Portions make sense. The dining room is clean every time I visit. That sounds minor, but it sets the tone. You trust the food before the first bite. Even the cheese pizza makes the case for the place. It looks plain. Then you taste it. The crust has structure without going stiff. The cheese melts evenly and carries real flavor, not just salt. It is the kind of pizza you keep eating without thinking about it, then notice the plate is empty. Pastaza does not chase trends. It focuses on doing familiar food well. That guardrail is likely why it works.

I ordered the Blackened Chicken Tortellini, and it was delicious and filling. Our server was very nice and attentive and timely in checking in on us. For what you get, the prices are more than fair, and the cozy environment makes you feel welcome. Parking is available on street - though it may be tough to find a spot during peak hours - and there is also a lot just across the street. This is now one of our favorite spots in the heart of Roanoke.

Everything from the fresh bread, to the salad with house dressing, to the entrees and finally the chocolate mousse cake. We moved to Fort Worth a little over 3 years ago and I feel cheated that it took this long to find this place. They have the best Italian food we have found in DFW. No exaggeration. I highly recommend the house dressing on the salad. It's a light tomato type vinaigrette. And the entree, Chicken Cariole(?). My wife had the Chicken Jerusalem. Both were excellent. Prices are very reasonable. Service was good and the food was out in a reasonable amount of time. I was actually surprised that they were not busier on a Friday night. If you like Italian food then this place has got to be on your list to try. We will definitely be back!

One is salad, pizza and dessert pizza (I know, but give it a try). The other includes a choice of appetizer and the third is appetizer choice and dessert choice. Essentially, the wait staff brings different pizza around and you either try a slice or pass. They will keep bringing pizza and salad until you tell them no more. Our server was Ray (also a bartender), she was very friendly. If you want a full pizza tell the server and they will accommodate. I really liked the customer service. The pizza was fun to try different types (Brazilian Salami, pepperoni, margarita, and desert pizza coconut creme, nutella. Sweet pizzas. All different, not all ones I liked, but the whole experience was fun. And our server was fantastic at making us feel welcome and making sure we got what we wanted. Will definitely be back.

The card was red and right away the pizza came. And that was the last time it was that fast. We waited in between every serving for a bit of time. At one point we sat for 10 mins waiting on more pizza. Once we finished and was ready for dessert that took forever. We asked for the dessert and the waiter said it'll be out shortly and didn't come back until we were ready to pay. It's a great concept and the pizza is good but could be done better.

Today's meal was just as satisfying. Our server, Claire, was especially wonderful. She was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, and thanks to her, we both enjoyed our time here even more. A restaurant's impression depends not only on the quality of the food or the interior, but very much on the people who work there. Their warmth can completely transform a guest's experience. Even though this place is a bit of a drive from our home, we'll definitely be returning

The pizza was good, not great but for the price it was a good stop. There were 5 choices of pizza plus a dessert pizza. I actually ate mostly the pepperoni pizza. They use the smaller pepperoni that curled up on the ends. The salad bar selection looked pretty good except for the lettuce. It looked like some browning had started and I was there only a half hour after opening. So I didn't take any of that. Normally I would. I'm giving Mountain Mikes a 3.5 because the price and pizza were good. It looked brand new inside so it was clean and welcoming. It looks like a great place for lunch or to bring a bunch of kids.

I visited my parents in DFW for my birthday, and as a pizza lover they wanted to take me to…read moreMountain Mikes Pizza. This is a pizza parlor chain we used to visit regularly when we lived in Northern California, and they knew it would be nostalgic for me. While the location wasn't extremely close to us (40min away), the interior was very clean, and it was obvious that this establishment was relatively new. The staff was friendly, and the ordering process was painless. Unfortunately, the order receipt machine that relays orders to the back ran out of paper and for some reason even when they replaced the paper the system isn't set up to print those orders stuck in limbo. We had been out most of the day, and hadn't eaten much because we knew this would be filling. 40min had past which we thought was a little ridiculous, and the staff actually noticed that we were still sitting without our food and they investigated. I will say, while it took us over an hour to get our food, the staff was apologetic. They comped our meal, gave us a side of garlic knots which are super delicious. And the pizza, when it finally came out, was delicious and was even better than k remembered it. I hope my experience was a one-off, but again, they were gracious hosts and they made the situation right. Pizza-lovers of TX, I would strongly recommend you at least try this establishments. The sauce is incredible, and the pepperoni cups are what make it Mt. Mikes pizza. I am so excited to see them popping up here, and I would hate to see them go. Some tips: Try the garlic knots or the new jalapeño garlic knots. If you want a healthier option, dine-in and check out their fresh salad bar. Cheers!!

Two stars because the food is tasty…read more I placed a mobile order for pickup and went through the drive-thru. I could tell the team inside was overwhelmed, which I totally understand. When the window opened, the team member quickly asked for my name and handed me my pizza. I started to mention that the order also included a No Name Cake and two San Pellegrinos, but she closed the window after I said "cake." She returned a moment later with the cake, clearly in a rush, and immediately tried to close the window again--so I had to once more explain that the drinks were still missing. Her tone and body language made it clear she wasn't happy to be there, and the interaction felt rushed and unprofessional. I get that it was a busy night, but a little courtesy goes a long way.
