Screamin Mimi's

Last night visiting the area and stumbled on this PIZZA GEM!!!!! Busy holiday weekend and this crew of 4 was making magic happen AND Worth the wait!!! Amazing customer service. If you’re getting it to go, call ahead! Got 2 slices of pepperoni pizza to go, perfectly cooked, crunchy crust, thin, right amount of grease! Delicious. Keep supporting this wonderful local business!

I'm SCREAMIN about Mimi's Pizza! 🍕 FOOD> I had a Greek salad with no banana peppers and Italian dressing with a slice 🍕 of mushrooms pizza. The slices are HUGE from their 18" pizza and the mushrooms were fresh. The crust was light as air and crispy and had the perfect amount of cheese sauce and toppings. It tasted like pizza I've had in Italy and New York! MAGNIFICO The salad was delicious with two kinds of olives tomatoes, onions, and normally it has banana peppers on it. The Greek dressing was Ken's and they gave us 2 packets LOCATION> This was in a bustling little shopping center just a short very enjoyable and scenic walk from our hotel the AC Marriott on the River front. ATMOSPHERE> This cool shop reminds me of pizza parlors in New York City for sure! There is a beautiful tribute to Mimi and the chefs making the pie are right there in the mix. The counter is covered with fun stickers from all around. The restaurant has a fun cool local energetic vibe. SERVICE> The sweet Gal at the counter was friendly and helped us navigate our first time. You order at the counter then have a seat anywhere. NOTE: There are a few tables outside as well to enjoy. VALUE> If I lived here or had taken an Air BNB with a fridge I DEFINITELY would have gotten a whole pizza to nosh on, but as I only had a modest hotel fridge I happy went for a slice option. The price for the cheese slice was only $4.85 and it was .95 for the extra topping The large salad was $13.01 but it was HUGE!!!! We literally feasted on it As a little Gal one slice and salad was the perfect meal. I will definitely be dreaming about that pizza for a minute, will be heading back to Mimi's, and screamin about how delicious it is Mangia!

Disappointing Quality and Poor Execution – Screamin Mimi Pizza (Savannah, GA) I was extremely disappointed with the slice I received from Screamin Mimi Pizza, and the attached photo clearly shows why. Visual & Structural Issues • Severe topping slide-off: Nearly all of the toppings have migrated to the very tip of the slice, leaving the top half almost bare. This is a clear sign of either improper baking, excessive grease, or the pizza sitting too long before serving. • Collapsed structure: The slice has completely lost its integrity. A properly made slice should hold its toppings and maintain balance—this one visibly failed under its own weight. • Uneven distribution: Pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers are clumped together at the bottom, instead of being evenly spread. This suggests rushed assembly or careless topping placement. Cheese & Sauce Problems • Inconsistent cheese melt: The cheese appears uneven—over-melted and greasy in some areas, sparse in others. It lacks the uniform stretch and coverage expected from a quality slice. • Watery or separated sauce: The sauce looks thin and broken in spots, contributing to the soggy appearance and causing toppings to slide rather than adhere. Crust & Bake Quality • Under-supported crust: While the crust edge looks moderately baked, the base appears unable to support the toppings. This often indicates incorrect dough hydration, insufficient bake time, or reheating issues. • Grease saturation: The slice shows clear signs of grease pooling, especially near the bottom, which accelerates topping slippage and makes the slice unpleasant to eat by hand. Overall Experience This slice looks hastily prepared and poorly handled, more like leftover pizza reheated without care than a fresh, quality product. Pizza should be appetizing, structurally sound, and evenly composed—none of which applies here. For a restaurant that presumably takes pride in its pizza, this level of execution is unacceptable. Based on this experience alone, I would not recommend Screaming Mimi Pizza and would seriously question their quality control and standards. Photo attached for reference — the issues are clearly visible and speak for themselves.

Best authentic New York pizza I’ve foundin Savannah hands-down, staff is super friendly and they make their own dough. The cheesesteak was the best I’ve had in Savannah as well. Must try local spot

Dining with Dirk: Never have I ever Sunday Edition. Last night's Thomas Rhett concert left me craving a sub this morning. I opted for the chicken Parmesan with provolone. It was cooked to order and arrived steaming hot with melted cheese. The sandwich was great, large enough to save half for later. I highly recommend this no-frills place for pizza and sub lovers. The customer service was more NY-style than SAV, offering an authentic experience… — eating lunch at Screamin' Mimi's : Serving Up Savannah's Best Pizza.

Me and my husband went on our honeymoon. Our tour guide from the Old Town Trolley recommend this restaurant to us and they did not disappoint. It reminded my husband of the pizzas he used to have growing up when he lived in NYC, so it brought some nostalgia.

Great pizza! We go every time we go to Savannah. I had a calzone today. It is enough to feed a couple of people! The sauce is great, too.

The place reminds me of the pizza parlors I frequented when I lived in NYC. The pies are huge, and seasoned well. The taste of the pizza is the closest to NYC pizza that I've had since I moved South 15 years ago. Do yourself a favor, and try them out. You won't regret it

Definitely Jersey style! Ordering pizza by the slice brings me back to the Jersey Shore! We went around 5 on a Thursday, so not busy and quiet. Lil hints of Jersey here and there. Food came up fast. My slice was loaded with toppings, just lacking in the cheese dept. Pizza had ZERO FLOP! My son ordered an Italian and I guess it was good because he inhaled it! It looked like fresh sliced meat and the softest roll.

The best part about this place is that it has its own parking in Savannah, which is very difficult to accomplish. The worst part about this place is that it's $9.34 for two slices of pizza. The pizza is solid/very good. It's not the best pizza I ever had but it's better than about 80%. It's a greedy place but solid pizza and convenient. Your call on this one based on the information provided.

Currently waiting 90+ minutes for a pizza to be delivered, four blocks away. Not happy. Pizza better be phenomenal. It arrived 2 hours late and (surprise) was cold. An hour and a half we could have spent at Abe's. Pizza may have been tasty if served hot. Miserable experience, spent my last night in Savannah waiting on cold pizza. 1 out of five for actually being delivered late, and for someone comping it

Everytime I come to Savannah Screaming MiMi's is always my first stop. When we walked in it was a little crowded and a lot of people were waiting for their orders. Since it was so busy we had to wait a minute for our dine in food. The kids enjoyed looking at the wall of stickers in front of the kitchen as well as some of the wall art. For an appetizer we ordered a white slice and garlic cheese bread. Both were hot and cheesy, which is just the way we like it. We ordered a half cheese and half pepperoni pizza which came out extremely hot. We also got a stromboli, the stromboli looked great but the only issue was that it was luke warm on the inside. We were so hungry we just decided to eat it like that. All the food was yummy and the only negative was the lukewarm stromboli but nonetheless it still tasted great.

When I first moved here from NY I was told this is the place to go for NY pizza and after my first attempt I was highly disappointed. That was 6 years ago, so I decided to try it again. Well, firstly as I made my way to the counter I greeted the cashier who didn't respond and only proceeded to ask what I wanted. Once I got my slice, myself and the 2 girls I had lunch with proceeded to say how we didn't enjoy our pizza. I had pepperoni and it was ok, definitely not like NY style. My friend had supreme which was a pepperoni slice with the extra toppings just dumped on top and warmed up. My other friend had cheese and she agreed that's what she sticks to bc of the lack of flavor from the other styles. No thanks, I tried to like it and with the added bad service I will take my money elsewhere!

Pizza is ok and decent price. But it's so dang greasy. I literally brought my son here he lifted up a slice over a paper plate and watched as a constant flow of grease poured n soaked the plate. Good yes healthy by no means.

Right in its own pocket of downtown you'll find Screamin Mimi's where they sling slices from 11-11 I went with the supreme slice & enjoyed the pepperoni, sausage, bacon combo. The tomato sauce is the winner imo as it had tons of depth... lightly sweet. Crust was fine, a little floppy. Also ordered cheese sticks that came w/ cheese x 100... very cheesy & my crew enjoyed. Consistent & a great alternative to big box corporate pizza

Nicole was really nice she brought us our food as was super helpful. I love this place -definitely the best pizza in Savannah

Place was highly rated but the product was less than great. Add to that the conceited staff that expected a full house when we asked for seating around 6pm. No reservations but we showed up and the place was basically empty. Pizza was greasy and had zero flavor. Will not go there again.

Pizza was passable. The cheese and margherita slices were not very flavorful. I definitely wouldn't get them again. The only slice we hands down liked was the BBQ chicken. We highly recommend that slice.

I'm from Jersey . I cook Italian all the time. But needless to say, the baked ziti I had here was the best pasta I've had in my life. The quality and taste of it was phenomenal. Please go here and try it! You won't regret it.

We went to Screamin Mimi's due to my son craving pizza. We had reservations elsewhere for the evening. So decided to get pizza by the slice here. It was very close to the hotel we were staying at in Savannah, GA. The young lady behind the order area was very friendly and provided great customer service. We got nice and hot slice of pizza, and it was very tempting. My husband and I ended up eating the pizza with my son. I can see why this place is a local favorite, the pizza was delicious and tasty. We also bought a side of chips, they sell snacks as well. If you are looking for a good place to get pizza in Savannah, this is the place. They also have some nice sitting area with tables and chairs as well as outdoor seating when the weather is nice. The ambiance is funky and cool with cute art.

Pizza was very good as was meatball parm but....... The place is another story!!! Do not expect any atmosphere and the decor leaves alot to be desire. I m sure Mimi is screaming down about the way the place looks. There were about 4-5 guys behind the counter and they were lively but very loud. I mean unbelievably loud!!! One kid walking around w one ear bud in n singing out loud, in his own world.the young lady was friendly. It was an adventure. I think the Son who owns it should look around and put some effort in to the place. I'm sure it's a gold mine.

East coast style pizza. Chill vibe, and friendly service. The pizza was fresh and had a short wait time. Great for a quick, informal bite.

This is the absolute most authentic and delicious pizza. Slices are huge, crust is perfect and the cheese pull is amazing!

The food was top tier. I wish the pizza would've been cooked another 2 minutes but the flavor was amazing and fresh. Unfortunately, at first the atmosphere wasn't very welcoming but we thanked them for the amazing food and their demeanor changed. It was very cramped in there the poor waitress could barely get through to serve people. If they focused on a better and bigger location and improving the atmosphere, I would've given them 5 stars.

We stumbled upon this gem of a place when our original choice didn't update their hours on Yelp and I'm so happy we did! The jumbo pizza slices were as advertised. They were HUGE and quite tasty. The focaccia bread was decent and the baked ziti we brought back to the teenager was enormous! It could have easily fed 2-3 people. The service was friendly and fast. Another hit on this epic vacation :-)

Our favorite pizza in Savannah! When I first visited Savannah several people told me to go to this other pizza place (we won't name names) but one of the local girls who worked at the hotel said, "oh no...if you want the best, get Mimi's" and we never looked back! The pizza is delicious, the employees are great and always in a good mood, they have indoor or outdoor seating, and if you sit inside they have chalk so you can draw on the chalkboards on the walls or tic tac toe.

Amazing pizza! My kids are very picky usually about their food however this one is as a hit! Took some time for them to get the order ready because they make it fresh as you order it.

Super pizza bigger than I could eat. Great as leftovers too. Very friendly folks make it worthwhile

I hate doing this. If you would have asked me a decade or even half a decade ago who had the best pizza in Savannah, I'd always say Screamin' Mimi's; but you know. Stuff changes. I think the owner's wife died around 2017/18 maybe around 2019. That's when this place really went down hill for me. I have probably eaten here 50-70 times in my life. Every Savannah trip I've ever have ended with a slice of Screaming Mimi's pizza. Perfect location with parking (rare in Savannah) and just too convient. I mean, look at my picture from 2014 and look at my sad, slice of pizza you get now. When you go in now, the staff is just downright rude. The staff is cussing loudly or having inapporpriate conversations even if there's kids around. Plus, there's almost an eye roll when you order the past few years because (they're just too cool, man). The cheese isn't the same. The dough isn't the same. The toppings aren't the same. It's like they just skimmped out on everything. I know places change, heck- maybe I'm just the one that changed. Scratch that, the pizza definitely changed. I don't think the owner is as involved as he was ten years ago. I remember going in 2012/13/14 and he was normally around the restaurant. It pains me. I use to be a hardcore fan. Seriously, I've spent thousands of dollars at this restaurant over the years (the South doesn't have a lot of slice options that aren't chains). I can see them closing soon. I remember when they had a place on Whitaker street (which was also a venue) and a place in Pooler that all closed. I can see that happening here, but for me this place closed in 2022. I just can't do subpar anymore; even with nostagia from my 20's. Walk the extra steps to Vinnie's.

Loved this recommendation from a friend! Definitely recommend if you are in the Savannah area and looking for pasta/pizza option. Service has always been good. Have ordered ahead of time and ordered in store and both experiences have been as expected with wait times, quality, etc. It's a pretty quick in-and-out place that has friendly staff. Would say the ambiance is exactly what you'd except from a quick, casual joint. Baked ziti was really good! A ton of food so would recommend sharing or being ok with leftovers. Also ordered a pizza slice which is not pictured but definitely recommend grabbing a slice if you're not interested in an entire pizza - love that they offer that option. Cheesy garlic bread was goooood... yum yum! I do wish the chicken parm sub had a little more substance. It was much more bread forward than filling forward, which was a bummer. We ordered it a second time hoping it would be different but unfortunately was not. We also got the chopped cheese (not pictured) and felt there was too much bread to meat ratio.

Ordered this as takeout upon arrival to Savannah after a long road trip across the country. Ordered a half cheese, half cheese and pepperoni pizza as well as a salami and provolone sub with some added banana peppers on it. The pizza was fine, I loved the salami and provolone sub. Delivery was fairly quick. Cannot comment on the restaurant itself as we did not visit personally.

Small restaurant with a 10 or so tables with parking!! The pizza is made right in front of you and it is excellent. Slices are huge and the taste is A+.

By far the best calzone you can get around - may seem a bit pricey but the size is huge - it's definitely 3 meals- absolutely wonderful

Who doesn't LOVE a good slice of pizza and Screaming Mimi's didn't disappoint. The staff is awesome and so friendly. Loved that they make you feel like you are their long time friend. Buy by the slice or a whole pie. They make it to order so it comes out fresh and the slices are HUGE. Sooooo good. We also ordered the cheesy bread. My personal fave was the Mr Pibb. IYKYK

Possibly the best pizza in Savannah. Just plain delicious with huge portions. The prices aren't bad at all either. Please, don't bother going to Vinnies where they are stuck up and overpriced. This place is 10 times better.

We have ordered to-go several times from Mimi's and this is one of the best pizza places in Savannah!!! Plus the pizzas are MASSIVE. Service is fast and you typically are waiting around 20-30 to pick up a togo order, which is worth it in my opinion. We have also tried their pastas, and their gnocchi is soft and not mushy - cooked to perfection. Their baked ziti is delicious as well. Fun, casual environment, and really great food after a long day exploring our haunted city!!

The New York meat lovers pizza was delicious and hot with fresh toppings. The lemon pepper chicken wings were very tasty.

Not the best, not the worst I have had either. It was ok a for late night pizza fix I would ask for it well done next time and I think that would have made a huge difference. All in all it was ok pizza.

I cannot recommend them enough - awesome pizza! I went in late on a Saturday' afternoon. Family was back at hotel and 2 locals at different establishments both said this is where they go. I was skeptical, but we always like trying new things (and now an imperative to compare it to a place on west end of City Market). Super happy with the pizzas we brought home that night (a white and a pepp/saus). Definitely recommend

Tonight my wife and I wanted to order a pizza, stay in and watch some basketball. I searched Savannah for the best pizza and, as it turns out, the Google search turned up Screamin' Mimi's Pizza which happened to be close to our Airbnb. I placed an order online for a large pepperoni, mushroom, and black olive pie, Greek salads, and a cannoli. The pizza was ready in about 20 minutes and I knew we were in for a treat when I could smell the pizza from the parking lot before I ever entered the restaurant. Screamin' Mimi's makes their own dough daily and the bring the Jersey to Savannah with their heavenly creations! There's absolutely no reason to get pizza anywhere else! This was the best pizza I've had in a long time and I'll definitely be back! The pizza was perfect - the right amount of sauce, cheese and toppings. The toppings were top notch; for example, the mushrooms were thick enough that you could really taste them. The Greek salad was just what we were looking for. It was crisp, fresh, loaded with ingredients and came with a Ken's Greek Dressing packet. Lastly, the cannoli was far better than I expected - the crust was crisp and the filling was absolutely perfect. I would order all of this again. . . And I just might do that tomorrow!

As we did two years ago, came here for a couple of slices before a show, and the pizza was just as good and authentic as we remembered. Perfect NY/NJ like slices!

Jersey-style pizza! Big slices, tastes great. This is my favorite pizza joint in Savannah. They have outdoor seating too, so we can sit outside with our dog while we eat.

The food was delicious. We ordered the white pizza with ricotta, a pepperoni pizza, and a couple of slices meat lovers and a couple of slices of cheese pizza. They were really busy so the wait was longer than anticipated. The tables were a mess, but they were busy so we understood. And they did come out and clean the table. There's not much ambiance. You go there for the food. Most people pick up and take it home. Only thing that I didn't really like--no gloves when touching the food.

The white pizza is amazing. Fresh crust. We ordered for pick up and the order was ready on time. The cook/cashier was not overly friendly. Be sure to grab your own parm cheese or pepper packets. This is a small place on a corner lot. Easy parking.

We came here late one night. Staff was great and very accommodating. We had the chicken parm sandwich, Greek salad, and the manicotti. All super delicious. The place has a super cool vibe. Bonus point for having cherry coke!

I am torn between 3 and 4 stars for Screamin' Mimi's. Yes I have to agree this is one of the best pizza places in Savannah. But no, this is not the best pizza I've ever had and no, it does not compare to NYC pizza. But it is pretty good not going to lie. The first time I went, the service was awesome and we ordered a half white and half cheese pie. I rated the white slice 3.5/5, and rated the cheese 2.5/5. The sauce isn't my favorite here. But regardless I gave them another shot with the cheese pie. It's good, would eat it again and recommend but nothing to brag about.

Delicious thin crust foldable pizza. Loved the sauce. Proper slightly divey atmosphere of a good pizza joint. People are super nice, great service.

We ordered a large meat lovers pizza and had it delivered. It tasted very bland. The pizza was made and delivered very quickly.

Others have mentioned this. We are not the first. The middle (1/3 of the pizza) is soggy and undercooked. All the toppings slide off when you lift a wedge, except the topping close to the crust rim. They need to fix this. They either need a hotter oven, longer baking time OR a smaller circumference to the pizza. Hopefully, they read these reviews. Their advantage is location. I guess when you have that you don't need to tend to details?

Not a fan of the service. Came in to grab a pizza that I ordered online that differed from the price on the menu. There are two counters for pickup so I went to the online order pickup counter and the people behind the counter just looked at me. So I gave my name and one of them started looking for my order. When he finally found it, I thanked him nicely and he said nothing. Felt very weird to be honest. There are tables to sit in but I wouldn't recommend. Last thing, I got home to eat the pizza and my first slice had a hair on it.

Passing back through town and craving pizza, I ordered a large cheese pie ahead for pick up. I had a good experience at the more popular pizza place in town during my last trip, but they close at 3 o'clock every day, which was exactly when I would be arriving. The pizza was hot and ready upon my arrival. It was tasty, though I wished the crust was a little thinner. At $23 I think it was a little pricey and the lady behind the register wasn't super friendly.

Delicious pizza but the sauce didn't cover the whole pizza plus it needed more garlic so minus one star. Super friendly staff.

I don't why it has taking me so long to review this business because it's one of my favorite lunch spots. I imagine I am their most frequent customer as I go there 2-4 times a week to grab a slice of pizza on my lunch break. Their staff are really friendly and their pizza is top notch. When I find something I like on a menu I rarely explore other items so I haven't had anything else on their menu but their subs do look delicious.

Pizza so hot and fresh it had me screamin'! Seriously, I've never had "Jersey-style pizza" but it's no joke. They offer carry-out, delivery, and dine-in, and we opted to dine-in. There was a pretty quick turn around from when we ordered and got our pizza. It was fresh out of the oven, packed with toppings, and so hot that steam was spewing out of the box! The pizza joint is pretty quaint, there are a few tables, but I think most people order deliver or carry-out. I highly recommend checking them out if you're craving pizza in Savannah, GA.

Really solid New York Style pies here and for being in a high rent tourist area of the city, their prices are quite desirable. We got the large, 18 inch white pizza with added ricotta and after sales tax it was about 21 dollars. The pie was quite, though if we ordered it again, we'd order it extra crispy. My thoughts on what we received is that they pulled the pizza as soon as they possibly could because we ordered at dinner time on a busy night and they needed the space in the oven. Even so, the pie was good, I just like mine crispier. You can see my pics to judge for yourself. Standard subs, wings, sodas, and all other accoutrements offered here and they had a sign in the window when we visited that said they're applying for a beer and wine sales license as well. Solid pies at solid prices and the counter girl was friendly and chatty. We'll be back next time we're in Savannah.

Best pizza we've had in a long time! Family friendly...our kids loved it! The option to eat outdoors is great too and the staff were friendly and helpful.

I grew up in Philadelphia; and used to travel to NYC(Brooklyn) for business, so I think I know NY style pizza when I see and taste it, and they got it down right. Yes, It's Jersey style, and I've been to Atlantic City a thousand times, it's all the same. With that said, this is far and away, the best pizza spot in this area! My only drawback, is what they now do, that most pizza establishments are doing. Making a bunch of cheese pies, then adding toppings according to orders. Which is a huge mistake, and tastes horrible. I know it's cost effective, and saves time, but it's cheap and makes your product taste old. Either the toppings aren't cooked fully, or the crust is burnt, cause of of the reheating. To avoid this, I suggest you order in person, so you can see them make it fresh. Other than that, I really like Screamin' Mimi's.
