Mancino's of Anderson

Normally Mancinos is one of my favorite places to eat. I’ve gone to the Anderson one twice in the last 3 months or so and got the Mancinos club grinder and both times it ended up making me very sick with food poisoning. I don’t know if it’s a refrigeration issue or just using food that is questionable, but it made me the kind of sick where you just pray for death to come. I won’t be going back to this Mancinos.

Food is reasonably good, but not good as the one in Muncie. Management can't be bothered to allow people to have water vuos because you might steal a drink and not get water.... just get some small clear cups. I have never seen a restaurant not give a cup for water. .there is literally nothing int he fountain my daughter can drink, but you want to force us to buy water. Take lessons from your other locations and don't treat all your customers like thieves because you don't trust people.

I’ve had Mancinos multiple times over the course of 20+ years and always thought it a good quality place for your money. Not the best in town but above average and a nice change up from “the usual” once in a while. Honestly never been disappointed with it.

However, yesterday when I decided to get some for dinner (when no one else wanted food so I just ordered for myself), I noticed a couple things I hadn’t seen before which I hope were just an oversight.

I ordered Greek grinder and an 8” pizza with a handful of toppings.

The grinder was fine but it could have used some sauce. I’m not even sure if the menu specifies whether it comes with sauce but you’d think a Greek sub that is offered at a restaurant only .1 miles from another gyro restaurant would have tzatziki sauce and by default offer it on their Greek sub.

The pizza was also fine (not great) but the one major standout to me was that I ordered bacon on it for the first time only to find that they use literal dried bacon bits! Like the kind you buy at Kroger and put on your salad or baked potato. I’m just picturing the owner and manager discussing their ingredients and deciding that dried bacon bits are acceptable on a pizza. If nothing else you should at least let people know this beforehand and not charge full regular topping price for 10 cents worth of dried bac-os on a pizza when other places charge the same amount for real bacon. This just defies common sense to me. The pizza still wasn’t bad but any normal entrepreneur would know that that isn’t what folks are expecting when they order bacon on their pizza.

Lastly they charged me $1.49 for each topping when the website clearly states that for an 8” pizza each topping is $1.09. Wouldn’t be so bothered by that if it weren’t for the damn dried bacon bits.

We have never eaten here before. And I can say we won't be eating here again. My husband suffers with lactose intolerant. The pizza ? was food to eat. Wasn't that good.

Every time I order my pizza, I say no mushrooms and they always have to remake it cause they don't look at the order. I'm allergic to mushroom!!!! Of course I have to sit and wait for them to make it right. It is becoming irritating and frustrating!!!

waited 40 min to get our food and had to tell them to make it to go because I was on lunch break and only had 1 hr. this is the second time in a month. won't be going back

Stopped here for lunch after visiting Mounds State Park. We chose this restaurant because they offered gluten free pizza and garlic bread. This was the best GF garlic bread I’ve had in a long time! The texture was perfect. GF bread is usually hit and miss. Great to eat a GF item that didn’t feel like a huge step down from the regular. we also split a GF supreme pizza. The GF crust tasted like your standard GF crust, but the pizza toppings more than made up for that. All in all a great tasting lunch. Appreciate having such good quality GF options!
