For some reason, I feel at home in central Florida, especially the places that haven't been touched by tourism and pretention. Mirino's is such a joint, and a puzzle at that. Why does a pizza shop need to affiliate themselves with Christianity other than the fact that they can do what they want, the American way. At least it was inexpensive, with an 'early bird' 16" pizza at a discount. God bless.
The ratio for our cheese pizza was 1cr/2ce/2ch. The sauce gets a 3 out of 5. It's a bit runny, with a decent flavor. I would have leaned more toward oregano instead of parsley and basil, skipping the onions. The crust gets a 4 out of 5. Texturally, it's a perfect east coast pizza dough, but its flavor was completely masked by cheese, the same cheese that's on just about every pizza. So Mirino's doesn't stand out at all in the flavor department. I guess that's fine. If you don't like it, you probably shouldn't be eating pizza.
For style, I'll give Mirino's a 5 out of 5. It's cheap, served in a comfortable, no-frills atmosphere. They have plenty of other menu options, like subs (with meats ranging from eggplant parmesan to liverwurst), strombolis, lasagna, and chicken fingers. Not only that, but they shred their own cheese. Regardless of your beliefs, one can't help but feel charmed by their painting of Jesus, and box for prayer requests.
Mirino's gets a 4 out of 5 for overall quality. Nothing to write home about, but with an overall score of 80%, I think Mirino's deserves its place on the map.
