Score
Across the available record, Mimmos Pizza & Ristorante has 12 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 26, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around five violations to closer to 10 violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “no written procedures available for use” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
The city-wide average sits at 77, which Mimmos Pizza & Ristorante's 27 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
