Customer Reviews
Christina J Donato
"We found a pizza place we liked today, in Olde Mystik Village. My pizza had a crust that was thin, yet not wimpy; it was firm, but not burnt. Ralph's sandwich was made from pizza dough bread and was filled with huge meatballs. We'd like to go back again."
Michele Cramer
"Excellent wood fired pizza restaurant, offering a wide variety of toppings. They have pies on the menu, but also offer a build your own pizza option so you can exactly what you want. Pizza is either 12 or 16 inch pies, so you can share or have your own. They offer a wide assortment of local beers as well some mainstream brands. Food was excellent! Only minor issue is that the take-out orders are made at the same time and in the same small oven, so you may have to wait a bit for your order, depending on the volume of take out orders. Our server was excellent and apologized for the delay caused by the take out orders."
Isa Grace
"This was my first time ant Mango’s. I got a white sauce pizza called The Jack. It was very good. The portion size will feed two people. The pizzas come in 12” or 16”. I also ordered a Cesar salad. I will be having both for breakfast tomorrow or as a late night snack."
Andres Gomez
"We were in the area, and had to stop to try Mango’s famous pizza. We saw it all over social media and decided to give it a try. We were towards the end of our trip, so we ordered a pie to eat on the way home. The have a large selection on the menu from pizza, to salads, and even burgers. We loved the pizza. It was made perfectly and the flavor was great! On another occasion, we will definitely come back to sit and eat in!"
