Score
Mexi & Pizza has been inspected 12 times since 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 9, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around six violations compared to roughly 13 violations earlier on.
When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Homestead restaurant scores 70. The record reflects steady performance over time.
