Mike's Pizzeria at 3228 North West Avenue, Fresno, California.

My family and I arrive here on a rainy Wednesday night about 8:15 in the evening for our first visit. We walked into the dining area and were advised they were close to closing (they close at 9) the dining area. Then the waitress advised us we can sit in the bar area, or sit in the dining area it was our choice; but they were closing or fixing to close that area. I have a 14 year old son so sitting in the bar area wasn't ideal, but we really felt we had absolutely no choice even though she told us we did.
So we went into the bar area where Jason (I hope that's his name, I think it is) was waiting to help us once we seated ourselfs in the booth. We placed our order which was for mozzarella stick appetizer for the table, a small margarita pizza for me, a medium meat pizza for my son, and a steak sandwich for my husband. It took longer than expected for the mozzarella sticks, and longer for the meal it's self. I am thinking the reason why it took so long was due to the time. When the pizzas were brought out we were advised that the pizzas were made wrong by the owner. My pizza which should have been small was made a medium, and my son's was made a small instead of medium. The problems with this is that is not what we ordered; I know how much I can eat and no way in the world can I eat a medium pizza ever by myself!! The other issue is my teenage son has a bottomless pit for a stomach, so there is no way a small will fill him up. They offered to make him another small, which my son took them up on their offer. Sadly I wasn't able to finish my pizza and it later went to waste as it was truly too much food for me. My husband said his sandwich would have been good if it wasn't for the pile of lettuce they added to his sandwich; as he said it was more lettuce than meat and cheese. My son did enjoy his pizza, as did I. What made this experience enjoyable was our waiter. Even though we were privy to bar talk (the bartender speaking on how she will not marry her boyfriend due to his credit) that a 14 year old son shouldn't hear, it made for a good "This is what you shouldn't do" lesson for some of the things we heard. I hope to go back, and if the experience is better I will gladly update this waiting. But as it stands if it wasn't for our waiter it would have been a different rating due to the entire experience.

Food was good. Service was good. A little spendy. Better for lunch. More in line.
