Mioposto Pizzeria

"Mio Posto may be one of the South End’s best-kept secrets. Despite being around for more than 20 years, I’d never been there until friends invited me for dinner recently—and now I’m wondering what took me so long. We ordered family-style and shared the Caesar salad, burrata, calamari, eggplant Parmesan, and two pizzas: the spicy pepperoni and the margherita. Every single dish was outstanding. I could have easily made a meal out of just the Caesar salad and burrata alone. The burrata was topped with some of the freshest pesto I’ve ever tasted. The spicy pepperoni pizza was another standout, with just the right amount of heat balanced perfectly by honey. The margherita was simple, fresh, and exactly what you’d hope for from a great Italian restaurant. Having just returned from Italy, I don’t make this comparison lightly, but the freshness and quality of the food reminded me of meals we enjoyed there. It had that same focus on great ingredients and letting them speak for themselves. I was born and raised in the South End, but no longer live nearby, so it was fun to discover a place that’s been quietly serving amazing food all these years. If you’re planning to visit with a group, I’d recommend making reservations—we had five people and the restaurant was busy. Five stars without hesitation. I’ll definitely be back, and I’m already craving that Caesar salad again."

"Great service! Delicious pizzas. My favorite is the Pinocchio pizza. The aperol spirits was delicious."

"Great place in the heart of Mount Baker. Wonderful staff, attentive from the seating right through the service. Food is downright wonderful and the happy hour is underrated. Check it out!"
