Mancino's Pizza & Grinders

We wanted calzone's for lunch, and after looking online, we decided to go to Mancino's.This restaurant is located in the strip mall in Kroger's parking lot . We walked in and there were a couple of families sitting and eating pizzas. The restaurant needs an update for sure. We looked at the menu for a minute and decided on the ham calzone and the steak calzone. We got small ones because we wanted dessert. The young man greeted us and helped us with sizing on the calzones. He also told us about the cinnamon sticks when my husband mentioned that he wanted dessert.We got our drinks, found a table, and waited for our calzones. They didn't take very long (about 7-8 minutes). First they brought our cinnamon sticks and frosting out on a pizza tray (which totally surprised us), then they brought out our calzones. The calzone was piping hot from the oven, so I had to grab plastic ware to be able to eat it. It was tasty - chock full of cheese, onions, peppers, and steak. The cinnamon sticks were good. Overall we enjoyed our food, and we hope that the atmosphere of the restaurant changes for the better.

My son and I ate there for lunch this week and were pleasantly surprised. The young girl at the counter was most helpful with recommendations and was very friendly and outgoing. We ordered a calzone and chicken alfredo pasta. Everything was piping hot! (I hate barely warm food!) The portions were huge...we took most of it home for dinner which was great because I hate to cook. ;) My son said the calzone was very good and I enjoyed the pasta as well. I would definitely go back and recommend them based on this visit.

The pizza here is great. The service is not. Very very slow. I come here once every two weeks and they always forget something, making my order take longer. They either forget the cheese bread side, or forget one of the pizzas. I've even tried to mitigate the issue by ordering before I dine in to make the wait less, but still end up waiting about 30 minutes every time I order. One of the causes I've noticed is that the store seems to be run by very young people under 30. Would do the business some good to have someone older with customer service experience managers.Update- went back today and I've never gone to a restaurant other than Mancinos where their front of house employee- in this case the lady taking orders at the counter- scowls at everyone coming in. She wasn't having a bad day, because I've seen this behavior every time I've been here and she is taking orders. My wife greeted her with a hello, and the lady's scowl didn't change. The four people in line ahead of us were all treated to the same scowl. When we finished ordering she didn't thank us for coming in or for our business. It appeared to be an inconvenience for us to be eating here. I'm done with this place.

First time there. Not impressed. From Chicago and ordered the chicago grinder. Bread was toasted to hard. Meat was in tiny flakes so when toasted it also dried out and lost flavor.And small amoubt of mest so you got very little with the overtoasted bread. Very little mushrooms on it toasted into cheese. They should also offer A1 or steak sauce to flavor the meat.

Great pizza and grinders. I found it very affordable with lots of choices. The place has plenty of room to eat in or carry out. Very happy to see this place open.

We happened upon this location when on a trip that took us through Bowling Green. It smelled so good when we came through the door. We ordered two different 1/2 sized grinders and a slice of cheese pizza and brownie for our granddaughter. We all really enjoyed our food. The staff was polite and the eating area was clean but could use some updates. Their garlic dipping sauce was pretty strong.

Slow service. Food was okay, little bit sloppy and my sub roll was falling apart and probably shouldn't have been used. The BLM chalk board mural is just in bad business taste, I came for food not to hear the owner's political thoughts.

This place is the only place in bowling green id even consider to buy a sandwich. The steak grinder hands down the BEST in Kentucky. Service with a smile always. Great place to take the family

Don't do it. Very poor customer service and very disengaged staff. Place is old and dirty. I used to love this pie when I lived in Michigan, but this is average and a bit salty. Do yourself a favor and find another place. Hate to slam them, but they deserve it.

The had a bucket catching the rain from the roof in front lobby. they did not offer any dressings-like Mayo, or Pickles. walls in lobby need cleaning and painting! sandwich was awful.
