Mickey’s Pizza

Awesome pizza shop with great employees that greeted us happily and made sure we were helped when we were ready. They have an epic wall full of choices and a fun instructional on how to create an order. We opted for the ‘fresh Greek’ deep dish and man they went all out on the toppings and the cheese was super stringy without the grease! Overall the food was delicious, super filling so try going in on an empty stomach! It is definitely a go to place and not a hidden gem anymore (obviously it’s too good to be a secret) so be aware that it gets busy and spacing for dining in is limited.

Nice food. We tried the Philly pizza and the mango tango pizza in baby size. Pretty good, personally prefer the Philly one. Enough for four of us.

Where do i begin on this! The deep dish pizza here is AMAZING! I haven’t actually had the real thing but this pizza here… Let me tell you its freaking amazing! The toppings… the crust. the sauce and the SIZE! Literally could have died and went to heaven right after eating a slice! I made the mistake of getting a small since I had eaten before, but definitely won’t make that mistake again! Make the most custom pizzas and layer that bad boy up with toppings and free sauce… It’s almost too good to be true!
The only downside… It’s quite far :(Although I will definitely come back here! Since I LOVE pizza!

Had heard a lot about Mickey’s, decided it was time to check out this joint that was featured on «You Gotta Eat Here» show on Food Network.
The place is small and has 5 high chairs to seat inside and 3 tables outside to sit on a warm day. The food mainly consists of pizza, garlic bread and fries.
Ordered a Garlic Bread with cheese and a Jumbo Deep Dish Green Dragon — removed the red peppers and added smoked cheese instead. The
Pizza took a good 20 minutes to make.
The Garlic Bread was very good. The crust perfect deep dish with garlic and cheese. Would have preferred a bit more garlic and less butter (don’t like to see butter floating on top). The pizza deep dish, but not even close to Chicago Style. The crust same as garlic bread — perfect. The topping they did not skimped. The whole olives were nice touch. The green peppers still a bit crunchy. The smoked cheese flavour missing.
The pizza, garlic bread and a drink — $ 55+. A bit steep but we had some slices left. The best pizza I have ever had — no. But good nevertheless. Will try the regular crust if we happen to visit.

Smokey Dragon deep dish pizza is sooo good. Make sure you allocated 40 mins for it to be ready!

This pizza joint is probably one of those places where you drive by it all the time and wonder «who the hell even eats here in this dinky little plaza.»
Mickies pizza is probably the best pizza shop in the gta, not only is it the best but they also serve deep dish. Located just past clarkson and Lakeshore in a small little plaza you’ll never expect such a hidden gem here in Mississauga.
First time walking in I had no idea how to order but they have a easy 4 step ordering method which makes it a breeze. Staff is always friendly and nice so they’ll be happy to help if you still don’t understand how to order.
I ended up ordering a large thin crust with pepperoni, mushrooms and roasted red peppers with their creamy garlic sauce drizzled on top. Total came to around $ 26, now that’s one expensive ass pizza but to be honest, you get what you pay for and you’ll be glad you paid that much when you take your first bite of the pie.
I advise calling in and ordering ahead (maybe 30 – 40 mins) if you don’t want to wait since they’re always busy and packed. Everything is made to order and they cook your pizza on this large rotating circular open oven which is quite unique and amusing to watch.

On the hunt for Chicago style deep dish, and luckily found something in a reasonable driving distance. I gotta say it was well worth the drive from downtown because the Chicago deep dish craving is very real and so is Mickey’s deep dish.
I will be back. To eat all the pizzas. It’s legit.
Oh yes, called ahead to preorder the pie, as per suggestion on their official website. Takes like 40 mins to prep/​cook.

After reading reviews about Mickey’s I had to try it out.
I was not dissapointed. I should have ordered more than just 2 large’s as my brother in laws lost there minds when they saw these pies.
I got a large Philly Cheese Steak and a large Killer.
Took about 20 min for them to make it. When I was finally given the two pizzas I could not believe the weight.
Love the taste! The Philly cheese steak had a ton of steak in it. Both pizzas tasted amazing, deffinately going again. The sauces on both were great. Best pizza I’ve ever had.
The only issue was the sticker price. The two pizzas cost $ 57.00. But again this is not your average pie so I understand.

This little place was unbeknownst to me even though I had taken refuge in the west end for over 3 years! Even the locals have never heard of them so it begs the question «what’s all the hype about? or is there even any?». Well fear not because this place delivers in surprising ways.
After an episode of You Gotta Eat here I was giddy to try this place out but of course the hour plus drive from Markham for pizza just wasn’t quite worth it. On this snowy night I lost it and made the grueling trek out west. You can imagine the kind of expectation I have burdened this place with and how really special it must be to withhold that.
Mickey’s is like deep dish Chicago style pizza only without the top. Imagine a convertible giant meat pie in a bread-​like crust. This thing slaps you hard with bold flavours and lots of it. Meaty, cheesy, tomatoey, doughy, greasy, salty… it’s like a juiced up pizza-​head at the gym. Damn! This stuff is satisfying!
There’s no finesse here, no fancy herbs flown from Italy or hand carved wood burning stone oven. This is just pizza, greasy, messy, way-​too-​much for your own good pizza!

Can I just say that service here is wonderful? I called on a whim on a Friday evening, on my way to the Clarkson GO station (Mickey’s is located just a couple of blocks east of the GO station, along the Lakeshore, if you ever want to pick up a delicious pizza before heading home). I had no idea what their specialties were, and had no idea how ordering worked — but despite my indecision and knowing absolutely no clue about their products, the woman on the other line was extremely patient with me, explaining that I had two types of pizzas I could order: the traditional or the deep dish. Each type had signature pizzas I could then order.
I ended up ordering the Philly Cheese Steak deep dish pizza, «Baby» sized. It was big enough to feed 2 people with small appetites (if you’re very hungry, go for the Large). Honestly, despite initially thinking this place was a bit pricey, this pizza was STUFFED with steak. There was, literally, more meat than actual pizza. No skimping on the meat here! Pieces of steak were stuffed in there, along with ground beef, and layers of cheese, topped with generous drizzles of BBQ sauce. Absolutely delicious, and great value.
For a «Baby» Philly Cheese Steak deep dish pizza, we paid around $ 17.56. Will definitely be back.

Let’s just start by saying, I love pizza. I mean, who doesn’t? Seriously.
I’ve ordered from Mickey’s on a couple of occasions, the first time trying their famous deep dish and the other trying their thinner crust. Both times were delicious!
Some things to note about Mickey’s.
— This is not a fast food pizza joint. Don’t expect it churned out quickly. They have a very fancy oven, that while interesting to watch, is not the fastest cooking implement.
— Also, go on pay day! Again, this is not just any pizza. You do pay for a better pizza, so you won’t be finding any $ 10 specials here.

My Order: Pappy’s BBQ Chicken (my personal fave)
PROS
+ FOOD: Heavenly. I can inhale their pizza… and that’s saying a lot because I hate pizza. Now now, pizza lovers worldwide, don’t get your panties in a knot… let me explain. I have been living in the states for a good 2 – 3 years where traditionally inexpensive/​free fare is pizza. There’s only so much pizza a girl can eat! But Mickey’s??? HA. I could never get enough of THEIR pizza. I’ll admit– I have peculiar taste. I love bbq sauce, chicken (no pepperonis/​sausages for this gal) and loooooooove pineapples. That’s why Mickey’s D satisfies that niche craving for me.
Now I couldn’t say this prior to going to Chicago and trying THEIR deep dish but NOW… NOW I can. MICKEY’S PIZZA IS THE BEST.

My cousin brought me here and OMG the pizza was amazing. We customized a large pan pizza with our favorite toppings. The pizza is like a pie, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with all the toppings inside but cheese on top. Also had some cilantro and hot sauce drizzled on top of it. Our bill was pretty high but honestly so worth the try. There isn’t much seating so we took our pizza and went to a nearby lakeshore park. If your’re nearby and don’t feel like dining in, give this place a go.

«It’s Not Pizza… but its Good!»
Deep dish pizza is to pizza what cupcakes are to cake. It may contain a lot of the same ingredients but it looks, tastes and acts differently than regular pizza.
To begin with, Deep Dish Pizza is about 3 times the thickness of regular pizza, so 1 piece of DD is about equal to 3 pieces of normal pizza. It needs to be eaten with a knife and a fork and takes a bit longer to make. having said all that, Mickey’s is good for a change in your pizza habits, now and then, but it will not replace good olé regular pizza.
The best advice I can give for anyone who has not gone to Mickeys (whose doors are flying open after and episode of «You Gotta Eat Here» aired), is to visit their website and read up on how the ordering of a deep dish pizza works. Then you can call in your order. With its recent fame, you may have the reticence of ordering from the «Soup Nazi», however the staff are very nice… albeit it a little short on patience (just because I imagine they are so business). However my pizza order, after reading up on what they offer on their website, went off without a hitch.
The only surprise you might experience besides the explosion of cheese, sauce (yes you can choose Tomato or BBQ sauce) and your chosen toppings, is the sticker shock you’ll get for the over $ 30 it costs for a large deep dish pizza which feeds 2 – 3 people. I think the dragon that’s being fed, is your bank. Enjoy once as an experience, then go back to your regular, easy to order and eat pizza.

HMM HMM. Was pretty excited to try some deep dish Chicago style pizza in the GTA, however Mickey’s leaves you wanting more.
Baby deep dish w/​meatballs, bacon crumble, & mushrooms (³⁄₅): It’s definitely a deep dish pizza, not going to argue with anyone on that. However, it’s not really anything special beyond that. Meatballs are a bit of scam, it’s just ground beef. Bacon crumble is regular bacon crumble, and yes the mushrooms were fresh, but maybe the cheese was too chewy, or it got soggy too fast. This pizza just isn’t what I expected based on all the raving reviews. I felt it lacked sauce and the ingredients were just thrown in. One slice had way more ‘meatball’ than the other, and another slice had way more bacon crumble than another. It wasn’t a pizza that was crafted in any way. There are deep dish places which take pride in making their pizza, however I did not get that feeling from Mickey’s.
Cost (3.5÷5): ~$ 10 for the baby deep dish. Sure, I’d dish out another $ 10.
Service (3.5÷5): I think they did their best considering the crowd that came in for the dinner rush. I felt the order was timely, but nothing too special about the service. Same as pizza pizza, possibly a smidge better.
Ambiance (⁴⁄₅): It’s a cute joint. First thing you’ll notice is their massive chalkboard menu, but it’s not overwhelming in anyway. Its nice they put the pans up to give you proportion of their sizes. Next thing you’ll probably notice is their rotating oven thing. Pretty cool! And they got dragon posters up, some vintage coke signs, so overall cute, kinda retro feel. HOWEVER, there is no difference between sitting in and take-​out. Both come in their to-​go pizza boxes. There’s also seating for around 12 but you can really tell that this is more of a take out joint and sitting-​in is definitely secondary.
Had this been the first time I had deep dish Chicago style pizza I may have been impressed, but unfortunately Mickey’s didn’t live up to what I was hoping for.

I found this gem of a place accidentally while craving pizza and stuck in traffic in Mississauga a couple of years ago. Now whenever I go through town I feel the need to stop by and grab some good deep dish.
What I liked best was the freshness of the ingredients: nice chunky vegetables, spicy pepperoni and a nice crust. They seem to specialize in added sauces to the top of the pizza but I guess I’m a traditionalist and just like to go with nothing more than marinara on mine.
Their selection of classic sodas also adds to the charm of the place. The only suggestion I might have would be to at least slightly improve the seating as the outside table I was at nearly fell over every time I tried to cut into the pizza.

Came to Mickey’s pizza place to try something new!
Used to live in the area, but since we moved never got the chance to try it.
This place is ‘known’ for their deep dish pizza and was on one of those Canadian food shows which is pretty cool.
We got the baby dragon deep dish with pepperoni.
The taste… Wow incredible! Honestly it was delicious! The crust was buttery the filling was deep honestly on point!
A bit greasy, a bit salty but to be expected on deep dish pizza.
The wedges were basic, still tasty.
This place is a tad expensive… Go expecting to pay more than a standard chain pizza place. You actually pay per ingredient so that’s what jacks the price up. Every pie comes with cheese and sauce but everything else is separate.
Not much seating, kinda cramped but they seem to be successful so maybe they will expand soon!
I’d definitely mention this place to friends who love deep dish pizza!

To be honest I guess my expectations were too high before coming. I’ve heard good things about it and the reviews are good but tbh I give it a 2.5 for its thin crust pizza.
I love pizza but I was disappointed. I called ahead of time around 4:10pm so that when I arrived it would be ready. I ordered a thin crust deluxe pie with no additional sauce on top. When I walked in I couldn’t help but notice that their toppings on display were not the freshest (pineapple/​mango frozen) and my green peppers were really diced/​small so the taste didn’t really come through. Not to mention that the pepperoni and sausage was too salty and there definitely was not enough cheese on my pizza.
The thin crust is too thin — making the tomato sauce weigh it down thus even soggy.
My friend got the large thin crust custom pizza with pepperoni, bacon, pineapple and dragon sauce. It was also salty.
To drive from Toronto into Mississauga for this wasn’t worth it. Won’t be coming back… I’d rather go to pizza Nova.

Only place in Mississauga that makes deep dish pizza (from what I know), and they do it SO well. I think it’s become pretty common knowledge now but they were featured on Food Network’s «You Gotta Eat Here». I went there for the first time maybe a year ago so can’t compare with how they used to be pre-​TV. You pay by topping so that can add up, but I don’t see anything unfair with that.
A couple Halal options available.
No delivery yet, limited seating, and limited hours of operation. It’s not as amazing as the deep dish pizza in Chicago so don’t go in with unrealistic expectations but do still expect filling, cheesy goodness.

I went with two others today to try the deep dish pizza. We ordered a large Smokey Dragon.
The wait was about 20 minutes but it was worth it. The pizza was stacked with meat and cheese and the serving size was huge.
The only cons to this place are:
— all the toppings are really salty, especially the meat
— the price for the large (approx $ 30) is around double or triple the cost of a normal pizza, even though they create approximately the same serving size
Overall, it’s a great place to try if you haven’t had deep dish pizza but if you’re just looking for something to fill you up, you may want to find a cheaper alternative.
