MIX - Brick Oven Pizzeria @ 2101 Chestnut St.

I have tough time describing this place. It is not a restaurant nor is it a fast food. It has both American(sandwiches and wraps) and Italian food mainly Pizza. It also has a bar to the far left side. But the tables(for two mostly) are really small like that of a Pizza by slice vendor places. The restaurant calls itself Brick Oven Pizzeria & Bar.

MIX is located at the intersection of 21st and Chestnut and the entrance is located at the Northwest corner of the intersection. I have been there twice so far, once with some business colleagues and another time with an acquaintance. Both times I had Pizza, as the allure of the Brick Oven behind the counter was to alluring to pass off Pizza and buy something else. 

My first visit was for lunch and I had a slice of Pizza with Buffalo Chicken topping and another slice of Pizza with vegetables like Tomatoes, Spinach and Mozzarella. They probably call it MidTown on their Menu. It has been a while since my first visit and I can hardly remember the taste of the MidTown Pizza. But I still remember the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and it was awesome. I came out very satisfied, so I am thinking the slice of MidTown Pizza was very good as well. The two business colleagues had nothing but good words to say about the food they had.

Having satisfied myself the first time, I went out to meet a friend at MIX over dinner. This time we ordered a large pie of Pineapple and Jalapeno Pizza. Those two together are my favourite toppings on a Pizza. I was very happy with the call. The crust was thin but soft enough(not crusty) to eat. The cheese was good quality cheese and the toppings fresh. They have a large menu that includes appetizers, pastas, salads, hot and cold sandwiches etc.

The Pizza by slice was around $3.50 - $4.00 each and the whole large Pizza pie with Pineapple and Jalapeno toppings was around $24 with tax and tips. For lunch I must have spent about $12 for 2 large slices of Pizza with a drink and the same amount for Dinner. I would say that this a little on expensive side (I like to keep my Lunch under $10, preferably in the $6-$8 range). The young eastern European lady behind the counter was very courteous and easy to talk to with her cute accent. The service was great both times. 

Overall I am a highly satisfied customer and would definitely go back with adult members of the family and friends. Families with infants and kids might have trouble as there are very few large tables.
