Editorial Review for Mioposto – by Anna Roth
The Scene
This is the latest offering from Chow Foods, the folks behind neighborhood eateries such as the 5 Spot and Coastal Kitchen. Children, parents and joggers fill Mioposto's small, airy space during early dinner hours; after they leave, the lights turn low and a mellow, older crowd steals the scene. Seating is either at family-sized tables or at the counter, where diners watch chefs toss pizza dough and operate the wood-fired oven.
The Food
Like other Chow Foods restaurants, this one revolves around a central theme--everything is baked in a central wood-fired oven. Authentic, inventive pizzas are the stars of the menu, including one with rounds of roasted potato, caramelized onions, fontina, parmesan and red pepper flakes. Sandwiches, like the version with a toasty blend of mushrooms, roasted red pepper and goat cheese, come on the restaurant's special "Angel's Bread." Dessert is a satisfying rendition of strawberry shortcake.

This is my "must bring out of town guests to" restaurant and they always enjoy and rave about it. In fact, many want to return a second time during their visit. The pizza is delicious and the salads are fantastic. I've always found the wait staff and, if you sit at the bar, the cooks very friendly. They aren't the most talkative, but everytime I've been there they have been very busy, which probably accounts for the lack of conversation. I also really enjoy the simplicity of the decor and intimate feeling of a small restaurant. It's just the right size for the menu.
Pros: Pizza, salads, atmosphere
Cons: Sometimes hard to find a table (but don't change anything!)

Love their pizza, especially the mushroom pizza. Also love their caeser salad. Prefer to order it and pick it up though because I don't like the servers, one young woman in particular. She doesn't make you feel welcome and treats you like an annoyance. But she is very friendly with certain people, making it even more annoying. Management should really take notice and train their waitstaff and teach them some proper manners. Many people talk about the great pizza and poor service, so it can't just be the rantings of a few dissatisfied customers. It's a great little place with tons of potential to be a neighborhood joint if the service weren't so impersonal and corporate-like.
Pros: Pizza, location
Cons: poor service, impersonal ambiance
