A diner from Chilliwack, BC
Oct 6, 2008
This review was from my June 9/08 experience. The pizza from Mino's did not look like it had fresh toppings. You can kind of tell when mushrooms are old and wrinkly before they are cooked. The onions were thickly cut, putting more flavor concentration on them than anything else. The ham and salami was more “greyish brown” looking, instead of red or pink.
Biting into the pizza, it became quite clear that they were using either low-fat skim mozzerella, or to be exact, it tasted like processed pre-sliced mozzarella cheese, like Kraft, etc. But that cheese doesn’t melt very nicely, and is not an equal substitute to real mozzarella.
We we have old toppings, and cheap processed cheese that melts horribly.
One bite into the crust, and it has the same taste and texture of dry, overtoasted bread. You can tell that this pizza crust must have had old yeast in it, or it wasn’t allowed to rise properly. In addition, there wasn’t enough moisture in it, and I think he must have run out of flour, and used bread crumbs too.
The pizza sauce didn’t taste right either. I peel back the toppings and take a look. It appears that he smeared tomato paste all over the pizza, and then added some powered spice ontop of it. That isn’t how you make pizza sauce!!!
