Fantastic late night dinner! We walked in at 9:10pm and were greeted with enthusiasm. How refreshing to see an establishment that closes at 9:30pm, happily welcome us at such a late hour! Our server was pleasant and attentive. The menu had a great selection of specialty pizzas as well as pasta dishes. We ordered and promptly received 3 pizzas, one gluten free pizza and, one chicken Alfredo pasta dish. Everything was well done and delicious. At the end of dinner, we were unexpectedly presented us with the most mouth watering dessert pizza! After a cold, rainy evening of soccer, we couldn’t thank you enough for the delicious food and hospitality! If you are in the area, I would highly recommend visiting MidiCi!

TL;DR: I didn't really enjoy the pizza or the wait but that doesn't mean you won't. Chicken wings were out of this world though. Let me preface by saying we were ordering for five people as takeout for a birthday celebration. We got two pizzas, one calzone, and a gluten free pizza along with a dozen original spicy wings. I'll take this one piece at a time. The two pizzas were "New York" cheese and cheese/bacon. They were definitely not anything resembling a NY pizza. They were kind of a bastardization of their Neapolitan but all the toppings were centered on the middle of the pie leaving a massive thin ring of just flour tasting dough around the outside. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be but it wasn't my thing. The calzone was sausage for a filling and I have to say the filling was okay if a little too greasy and not very spicy. The one surprise was how thick the dough was around the center fold meaning it wasn't quite as well cooked as it could have been. Gluey and undercooked dough does not make for the greatest eating experience. The gluten free pizza was good where there were toppings. Where it was bare crust with no sauce or toppings, it was a completely inedible piece of "dough". It was so hard, we couldn't bite through it so we gave it to the dog and, I'm not exaggerating when I say, she ate it like a rawhide. I can't recommend their GF, sorry. The wings were incredible and not just because the rest had issues. We got original spicy. They were meaty, spicy, amazingly seasoned, and had the bits of peppers, onions, and other nuggets of deliciousness used to flavour them. I would pay more than they charged for these and they were not cheap. Lastly, I want to focus on the staff and service. Everyone was very friendly and offered genuinely good service. Unfortunately, for a reason that wasn't explained to me, it took half an hour longer for me to get it than was quoted when I ordered it. 45 minutes instead of 15 - and I was picking up, not delivery. That said, they were nice and apologetic about the delay. The atmosphere in the restaurant was really nice with music playing and a pretty tree in the dining room which made the wait not so bad. See you on the road.
