Mondo Pizza- Middletown, CT Feb 20, 2026

Slice Mob rolled into Mondo Middletown like we hadn’t eaten in a week. Fifteen deep. Loud. Hungry. Ready to do damage.

I went straight for the Mondo special, thin crust, crisp, and built right. First bite told the story. The undercarriage had structure, the edge had crunch, and the toppings stayed in balance instead of sliding into chaos. Onion, peppers, sauce, pepperoni, sausage, bacon… all playing their role, nobody trying to be the star, and that’s exactly why it worked.

This wasn’t a greasy overload pie. It was composed. Clean flavors. Sauce present but not drowning the dough. Cheese doing its job without turning the slice into a blanket.

Around the table, it turned into a full-on pizza parade.

• Barbecue chicken made the rounds. Sweet and Smokey

• Tomato basil, simple, bright, the kind of pie you underestimate until it disappears

• Sicilian, thicker, airy, satisfying, the “one slice turns into three” situation

• Ozzy Egg, the wildcard. Rich, different, and the pie people kept talking about between bites

I didn’t personally get into every pie, but you could read the table. Heads nodding. Silence during bites. That “hold on, let me finish chewing” look. Universal pizza language for “yeah… this is legit.”

Keith came out and greeted us and jumped in for a photo like he’d known us for years. That stuff isn’t staged. You can tell when it’s genuine, and this was.

The staff stayed on it the whole time. Drinks refilled, pies landing hot, check-ins without hovering. Friendly, attentive, and clearly used to handling a busy dining room without letting it feel chaotic.

What stood out most was consistency. Nothing felt like a throwaway option. Whether thin crust, Sicilian, or specialty, the kitchen knew what it was doing.

And the vibe matched the food. Casual. Welcoming. Built for groups. Built for exactly what we did, show up with friends, order too much, and stay longer than planned.

Slice Mob left full and happy!
