Dining with David: Mickey’s Pizza

Mickey’s Pizza – Mississauga, ON – October 17, 2012

For a place billed as ‘the best pizza pie you’ve ever had PERIOD’, they are not too far off.  This is a place that you will not just stumble upon.  It is located in a little strip mall in a little lower section of town; message parlor and beauty salon next door.  But once inside, this ‘dive’ will keep you there.
I had pre-ordered one of their specials, the Killer King Smokey Dragon.  This little beast is a deep dish pie with pepperoni, strip bacon and crumble bacon (Canadian bacon or ham as we would call it) smoked Mozzarella and topped with a deep smoked BBQ sauce.
Let’s first start with the crust; it is a thick, buttery, flour based crust as compared to the typical Chicago style corn-meal based.  It is not the best crust I have ever had but a very good taste.  The pie is then stuffed with all these smoked ingredients that really come alive.  The topping of a deep smoked BBQ sauce is perfect for this pie.  Since it is applied and then cooked in a table-size open air rotating metal pizza cooker, the sauce gains a crusty texture and is wonderful.
Is it the best pizza I have ever had, no; but it is one of the most unusual and perfectly matched ingredients pies I have had.  Highly recommend to try all of their Signature Pizzas if you are in the area.
