What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
"The Best Thing I Ever Ate" featured Mimi's Pizza & Restaurant for its classic New York-style pies and by-the-slice counter service at its Upper East Side shop on East 86th Street. The pizzeria operates from 217 East 86th Street, between Second and Third avenues, and is one of a small group of Mimi's Pizza locations around Manhattan. The domain listed for the business in earlier records, ordermimispizza.com, no longer belongs to the pizzeria and now resolves to an unrelated retail site; the shop's current site, mimispizza86.com, lists the same 217 East 86th Street address, a phone number, and active ordering links through Slice, Grubhub, and UberEats. According to Yelp, whose page for Mimi's Pizza - East 86th was updated in August 2026, the location continues to draw customer reviews with no closure notice attached.
