This is the second Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop location I've tried in Arizona. The other was in Scottsdale, where they have two locations. They are growing in the Phoenix area and this seems to be a fairly new location. I tried the Cali Tuna sandwich. I decided to pick and choose my toppings, since I did not want onions or tomatoes. They do have a garlic sauce option, which sounds intriguing. I might try that on the side next time. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff made sure to describe all of the available options for toppings and cheeses. I knew that I wanted the Dutch Crunch bread. It's a standard for me whenever I go to a Mr. Pickle's. I would recommend that anyone give it a try, unless you're not a fan of crusty bread. My sandwich was huge! I took half home to eat for dinner. I really liked the strawberry watermelon lemonade. It was flavorful and refreshing. I'm told that they have a new app coming out soon! I will be sure to sign up for it so I can earn rewards for my purchases.

What a great experience! We had visited Mimi Forno shortly after they opened in 2018. Life got in…read morethe way and we didn't return until April of 2026. Even without reservations we were seated immediately. Water and menus were on the table in the blink of an eye. Our server, Josephina, was quick to take both drink and appetizer orders. I ordered some bread, not immediately realizing the difference, and should have ordered the focaccia. The martini that my wife ordered was, in her words, perfect. The Caesar Salad was the best I've had in quite a while. Just incredibly fresh greens, great dressing, grated cheese, and tasty croutons. I could have made a meal just from that. My wife ordered the Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli and I had the Lasagna Bolognese. Neither is an unusually elegant dish but both were prepared perfectly. The house Chianti was so enjoyable that we ordered a bottle and enjoyed it throughout the meal. To finish off the experience we had an order of cannolis and they were delicious. Thanks to Josephina for such a great evening and we will be back to try the "Bottle & Bruschetta" they feature on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Finally got a chance to try Mimi Forno Italiano! A bit of a hidden gem in Laveen as I've never…read morereally been in the area before. First, the food was delicious! I felt like the texture of the gnocchi was amazing and I enjoyed the thickness of it. The pesto sauce was also great and my favorite parts had the bits of nuts in it. The shrimp arrabiata was good too with nonfishy seafood and not too spicy. The bread was perfect for dipping in the sauce but I wish we got a few more. There is a happy hour Monday through Friday from 3-5pm but there isn't much advertisement about it online or in-store. The happy hour menu is pretty small but includes the Shrimp Arrabiata (1/2lb or full lb), Cheese Pizza, Margherita Pizza, $2 off cocktails, and a few more items I forgot to take a picture of!! Our server was a friendly man with dark hair and an accent. He was super nice but we noticed that it would take us a long time to get something we needed, like the check. In his defense, we were chit chatting for a while and probably didn't look like we needed help or service. No hate, he was very kind with good intentions. The restaurant itself was cute and a little bit smaller, making it harder to walkin if it was a busier night. Overall great food and nice staff. If you're looking for authentic Italian, come here!

The staff is kind of slow and because the food seems to be made fresh, ordering and receiving your food will take a while. The fried noodles with beef were great both times.

It's definitely a cute little spot to share a meal at, service is just 'okay' though.

This was a mistake- we encountered snobby ladies at the counter who rolled their eyes at us for asking to slightly customize our tortas (no grilled onion & add jalapeño). The agua fresca was anything but "Fresca"; it was flavorless, the licuado was watered down and warm from letting it sit blending forever while they stood around on their phones. The tortas were horrible- stale bread, dry and flavorless cold chewy asada. Guácala! And the prices were crazy expensive! $45 for a couple small sandwiches and 2 drinks; and they still ask for a tip for doing absolutely nothing! Save yourself some cash and get tastier authentic tortas from your local taco trucks!

Stuck at work for a 10 hour shift and didn't even get my order. I called back and the same manager said that she would bring my meal to me. Never saw her, never spoke to her again. Instead, come home to a soggy sandwich that's not even edible. Thank you for waisting my time and my hard earned money. I will not be ordering from this location again.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while & I wish I would've come sooner! The food reminded…read moreme of being at some of my friends family parties -- like my best friend's mom made it. Maybe it's because I'm from Arizona, but Mexican food is comfort food to me, and this was what I needed today. The tacos dorados were perfectly crunchy, and I am a s l u t for lettuce, so seeing it come out just fully topped was beyond ideal. The potato & chorizo filling was creamy, a little spicy, and well balanced with the toppings. Oh and that red sauce from the salsa bar? Yeah. You have to try it. It's not like other red salsas that are off just a bit (if you've been to the other run of the mill spots, you know what I mean). It's probably the best balanced red sauce I've had in a while. The green salsa was also good, but wasn't what I was expecting. It was more like a poblano, and less like a tomatillo (still really good though & definitely worth trying). The fish taco was tasty flavor wise, but the fish portion was on the lighter side. If you're looking for protein, I'd pick a different item. The fresas con crema was the star here for sure. I tried to take a better photo but I uhhh dropped the strawberry on myself, and resorted to just savoring the mental image. I am not a huge fan of coconut .. or walnuts/pecans.. but the lady I ordered with asked if I wanted everything on top & I just blindly said yes. Super happy I didn't ask for any changes because all the flavors were so good together.
