Mike and Tony’s Gyros

Gyro Meat Diversified at Mike and Tony’s

Continuing our Greek kick…! Our next stop is one that Steel City natives are saying is starting to become a staple in the community when it comes to a great gyro. The tenets of dining are simple; people want good food for a great price and they want to leave satisfied when spending their hard-earned buck. Mike and Tony’s gives you both. Mike and Tony’s is a family-owned restaurant with four locations around Pittsburgh – Moon, Southside, Downtown Pittsburgh, and Bridgeville. I have been hearing about this establishment for a long time, finally got a chance to try it, and was pleased with several aspects.

Let me start off by saying their gyro is solid in every way. The gyro is a great portion and the gyro meat is juicy and piled high with loads of meat and finished with a thick and rich gyro sauce. You can choose your side of French fries or go for lighter fare with a Greek salad. We got the Greek salad, which was filled with cucumbers, un-pitted olives, greens, and topped with a house-made vinaigrette that was amazing!

I want to highlight what caught my attention and was a must try. The M&T Fries. When appetizers can become meals, you catch my attention. The M&T Fries are perfectly cooked  not too greasy and not burnt. They are topped with a heaping pile of gyro meat and it packs a punch with the added feta cheese. It is finished with ranch dressing, and the kicker – buffalo sauce. Gyro sauce is provided for dipping as well. This dish screams guilty pleasure.
