I had a great time with some friends catching up Emmy Squared!! The pizza was delicious 😋 the shaved Brussels salad was so good and I am so happy to have leftovers to enjoy it again!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Coulson · Oct 2025

Very mixed feelings here... The Detroit style pizza was really good and the service was pleasant but slow and not very engaged. When we arrived, there was one other customer but about 10 people waiting on the way of the bar and entrance for carry-out. One we finally got menus and a drink, things got better. The pizza was good! I look forward to going back, it seems like this was an anomaly and the place has huge potential. (Our pizza was overdone but we like it that way! The manager immediately offered to make a new one but we refused.)

Came here for Sunday brunch—place was pretty empty but the staff were friendly and on top of making sure we were taken care of. I ordered the Chicken Parm Sandwich which was pretty good! Overall, not much else to say. I would come here again if it was chosen for a group meal.

I tried this place out because I am a native Detroiter. Pizza came very close. Tried the Meatsiah. Edges were crispy just like I like. The cheese was good. The sauce was okay. Also had the Zia fries. Absolutely delicious! I'd go back for both, but the Zia fries were perfect.

This restaurant is a must-visit for food lovers, especially if you’re craving top-tier comfort food. Their pizza is nothing short of phenomenal — featuring Detroit style dough that’s perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, topped with a rich, house-made sauce and a generous layer of premium, melted cheeses. Whether you go for a classic or a bold, loaded meat-lovers custom each pizza is bursting with flavor and crafted with care. Not to be outdone, their burgers are equally impressive — thick, juicy patties made from high-quality beef, cooked to perfection, and served on fresh, pretzel buns. The flavor combinations are creative yet satisfying, from smoky bacon and white cheddar to tangy pickles and zesty house sauces. Each bite delivers the perfect balance of savory, juicy,
