There is a very short list of places in the Valley doing real Neapolitan pizza, and Myke’s is at the top of it. The dining room glows around the wood-fired oven and the whole crew moves with the calm confidence of people who have rolled a thousand doughs this week alone.
The Margherita Test
I always order a Margherita first, because if you can’t nail the simple one you can’t nail anything. Myke’s passed in about ninety seconds. The crust was blistered, airy, and just chewy enough, with San Marzano sauce that tasted like sunshine.
Don’t Skip the Specials
We also split the soppressata pie, which arrived with little cups of spicy oil pooling across the top. Every slice disappeared quickly. Myke’s is the kind of place you recommend before anyone even asks where to eat in Mesa.
