Great Pizza, Great People, and So Much More at Mifflin Pizza in Mifflinville
Classic cheese pizza from Mifflin Pizza in Mifflinville, PA. |
Mifflin Pizza first came on my radar back in 2016 when Adam the owner of this little pizza shop was looking for some friendly competition locally. He had competed on the U.S. Pizza team in events like dough acrobatics and speed box folding and was reaching out to see if I knew of anything. Of course, I invited him to sign up for my annual NEPA Pizza Madness competition but like I do with any pizzeria I learn about, I had to research Mifflin Pizza online.
I found perhaps the most creative and fun locally run facebook and instagram pizza account. There were videos of Adam doing crazy dough tricks, innovative giveaways, professional looking pizza pics (which I later learned are just iPhone pics taken by him), and really engaging posts with much higher social stats than you would expect from a pizzeria in a small town.
Mifflin Pizza rode their social following and strong customer base to NEPA Pizza Madness victory in 2017. Following that victory, I had a chance to sit down and interview Adam about his pizzeria and learn what makes him tick. Check out that video below:

Overall, not only was this pizza a classic, every component was a little bit different and it really stood out. Sometimes NY style pizzas can start to run together after you try so many, but Mifflin’s differentiated itself with some nuanced flavors, a crust that seems both light and dense at the same time, and an attention to detail that is unrivaled anywhere in the country.
