The Most Delicious Pizza in Detroit

Tomatoes Apizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (499) • $$

"I could eat at Tomatoes everyday for the rest of my days and die a happy man. I've had the pleasure of enjoying their amazing food for years and never tire.During lunch hours, you can enjoy the buffet and get an amazing selection to sample from along with the amazing salad bar. This time, we went in the evening and still enjoyed the salad bar, but instead of the buffet, we got a pizza just for us. This was the large Naples Sampler which could easily feed 4 people was an amazing variety. Ambiance is nothing to write home about, but still well done. And the service is friendly and quick!If you're in the area, or heck, even if you're not, start driving! It's worth it!"

J. Baldwin's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (490) • $$

"Took my Mom here for her birthday and we loved it! She deserves the best and J Baldwin's made sure she got it! Will be back for many more occasions when I'm back in town visiting. Mother's Day probably!!"

Pie Sci

★★★★★ 4.5 (374) • $$

"Long overdue review for Pie-Sci - one of my favorite Detroit style pizzas ( already you can also find a traditional round pie here if that's your thing)! My favorite thing about this shop is the variety and uniqueness of the pies you can find here. They also have a lot of veg/vegan options as well and their pizzas can be made GF, so a very inclusive shop for everyone's diet and preferences. Service has always been great and 'za has always hit the spot. Highly recommend supporting local here instead of your run of the mill chain pizza. Dine in or carry out at this location. This review is prompted from their recent collab with Khana for a butter chicken pizza - DIVINE. If you're reading this now, you likely missed it, and I'm so so sorry."

Gran Castor

★★★★☆ 3.6 (552) • $$

"Very cute and trendy place in Troy! Went this past weekend but they were understaffed and the 3 people working there were very sweet and kept us updated if anything was going to be delayed. I got the shrimp and chicken tacos which were flavorful! Unfortunately the tea latte was a little cold but I think it's because our waiter also had to make all of ours and just got delayed since it was busy so definitely not her fault. There is a cute fireplace area and a separate room to rent out for private events. Definitely would go back next time I am in the area!"

Market North End

★★★★☆ 3.9 (469) • $$

"Born and raised down here, I was excited to be back although so much of Bham has changed. Waahhh!!We walked in yesterday to grab a quick bite. Sat for 15 minutes before we were acknowledged. Yes they were busy for a Thursday at 3:30-4 but we were at a table that everyone walked passed- in the way-- if you will. I think that soured me. I seen 6 different servers and a manager and not one stopped to see if he had been helped. Nonetheless, finally ordered. House bread was best. Nothing comes out hot, just warm. The speed that which they came, coupled with the warmth of my dishes-- they had to be done in large batches and kept under a warmer. Nothing seemed fresh if that makes sense. Another thing, this is Birmingham I expect the restaurant to be kept up. The restaurant is dated and the baskets they have as lights are all askew. There is one to the right of the bar that was literally like a spot light on someone. But don't worry, they keep the place darker so..All this for $100. Thanks but no thanks."

New York Pizza Pie

★★★★☆ 4.4 (368) • $$

"Been going here before Dave Portnoy reviewed it but I'm glad to see he gave a solid 7.6! That's a compliment from him! The name change is a bit confusing but other than that there is nothing confusing about the pizza, so good! I love a NY style pizza and this place takes the cake! So many options pizza topping wise. My favorite is the San Gennaro - the spicy sausage is spicy so be sure to dunk your pizza in ranch! Their ranch is delicious by the way. The pizza crust is so good, but a slice does flop. I like to pair my pizza with a house salad which is so good! No crappy iceberg lettuce but a blend of mix greens and fresh ingredients. Their house Italian is delicious. We order online and it's easy. Never had an issue and our orders have always been right."

Iron Horse

★★★★☆ 4.1 (415) • $$

"Never been here before, thought we give it a try. Amazing food, server was awesome but one thing that could've been better was the temperature of the restaurant. Nicely decorated for the holiday but it was freezing!!! Would definitely go there again, just dress a little warmer. As you can see in the food pics, it was delicious!"

Tivoli's Wood Brick Oven Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.3 (324) • $$

"Great brick oven pizza! Nice atmosphere while dining in. We usually do carry out since we live very close."

Highland House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (362) • $$

"We had a 4:00 pm reservation for 11 for our dad's birthday. We were seated immediately and greeted by the server for drink orders right away. Our parents had the day wrong and ended up showing up 1 1/2 hours later. We felt awful taking a table for so long, but our server Monica was amazingly patient and kept our drink orders flowing. The food was very good and plentiful. Most of us left with takeout containers. We used to visit the Highland House many years ago, the building and atmosphere is welcoming and clean."

Pizza e Vino

★★★★☆ 4.2 (311) • $$

"The pizza is always delicious and the ingredients so fresh. The salads are also really good. They have a craft cocktail selection and the drinks we have tried have all been tasty! We generally sit at the bar and the staff are friendly and attentive."

Tomato Brothers

★★★★☆ 4 (342) • $$

"I had fantastic service, a wonderful Greek salad (dressing is the best!) & a most delicious & plentiful chicken picatta. Oh! I buried the lead! They have the best (no argument, pls) breadsticks. Just fabulous. Highly recommend. No pics bcuz I was completely enjoying myself. We will be back."

Luigi's Original Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (307) • $$

"Service was great. Food was delicious.I grew up in the kitchen at Luigi's helping my aunt uncle run the kitchen and I always tell my staff how wonderful the food special the pizza was So for our company Christmas party this year I chose to take everybody to Luigi's for dinner. I let them order from the menu from stakes to pasta. Everything was outstanding. Our waitress was wonderful. She answered all our questions. I can't say enough about this almost historic restaurant come early and make a reservation Because they are always busy."

COMO's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (416) • $$

"Fun environment for the family. Went on trivia night which was super fun. The waitress was friends and the food came out quickly! Definitely going back for trivia. The pizza was a little salty but I'll try another one."

Village Idiot

★★★★☆ 4.2 (289) • $$

"We are new to the area from New Jersey. As I was on a sales call last month, a colleague of mine declared " and that place (pointing to the Villiage Idiot) has the best pizza in town." If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that .... Well tonight we decided to try the pizza. FANTASTIC. The sauce isn't too sweet, the cheese is very nice and the crust is thick enough to hold the structure of the pizza and still not be too much. We only tried cheese tonight but if this is a preview, I can't wait to try more. Ciao."

Roman Village Cucina Italiana

★★★★☆ 4.1 (296) • $$

"Deeeeelish! Great food and service. We gobbled just about everything up. Also, always love when the manager or owner (not sure) comes out and says hello and asked how our meal was. We will be back for certain"

Nostalgia Wood Fired Oven

★★★★☆ 4.1 (286) • $$

"Got the Snow White & Neighbour's Favourite (+ red sauce), pretty amazing. Loved how soft and fluffy the bread was with the taste of the wood fire oven; the cheese and toppings went really well with the Alfredo and roasted garlic oil sauces. Also, loved the fried burrata, rosemary bread and homemade pesto, just top notch. Can't wait to try the other pizzas and eat in next time, the atmosphere inside is great!"

Graceland King Gyro

★★★★★ 4.7 (209) • $

"We moved to the area 10 days ago and have ordered from Graceland King Gyro 5 times (no joke!) in those 10 days! Have not tried the pizza yet, but gyro, shawarma, falafel, grape leaves, hummus, and both kinds of baklava are all top notch. Service with a friendly smile, and very reasonable prices for what you get. We're glad they're just down the road!"

Fredi The PizzaMan

★★★★★ 4.6 (211) • $

"Very good pizza ,and the Goulash is very good also, our lunch crew tried it last year for first time and we all enjoy a trip to Fredi's. It is a little odd ordering, pull a number like the sos, but staff does a good job explaining it. However when it is crowded it hard to sit around and wait, without being in way. Staff is organized though and does a great job moving people in and out.Small footprint restaurant but they maximized seating and made outdoor seating as well. Highly recommended if you are in the area."

Cloverleaf Bar & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (286) • $$

"a detroit classic--haven't been here in awhile--old fashion decor which is very cool--we had a sweet bartender named chris--pizza was wonderful--great place to go--lots of parking too...."

Zeoli's Modern Italian

★★★★☆ 4.2 (246) • $$

"How had I not known about Zeoli's before now?!!There were 5 of us and we all liked our choices!I had a wonderful green bean Gorgonzola with a wonderfully flavored lemon vinaigrette dressing, perfectly tossed. I am sorry not to have a pic to share! Dark greens and lemony light dressing. Plenty of green beans, some red Onion and perfect amount of Gorgonzola! Enjoyed every bite until it was gone. Next up, vegetable marinara w zucchini noodles! As requested, chef spiced up mine perfectly! Still had a few shakes of their red pepper :) I cooked up some of my pasta and enjoyed the leftovers today. Sauce was even better than yesterday. Two whole tomatoes from the dish added to remaining veggie marinara SO GOOD!!For dessert, tiramisu that was perfectly balanced between choco, coffee and whipped cream flavors and consistency I will be back for the veggie marinara for take out as that was the best I've had in a long time!! Waitstaff super friendly, passed thru a few times to make sure all was well! It was quiet on Monday when we met at 4:15p. Value for the money and well worth going!!"

Tomatoes APIZZA

★★★★☆ 4 (271) • $$

"Ambiance is pretty cool and the pizza is delicious. I have wanted to try appiza for awhile and I think this does a serviceable job of introducing it to Michigan. I understand the cut style is a thing, but would have just preferred slices. Tough call on a star rating as the pizza is delicious but extremely expensive. That being said it fed me, my wife and two small (3 &1) boys with a couple leftover pieces so it's cheap restaurant food in that regard. Still, for thin cheese pizza, 35 bucks is a lot. However I'd go back to try their unique offering."

Grandma Bob's

★★★★★ 4.5 (212) • $$

"Found a diamond in the rough. Okay, not rough but expensive restaurants everywhere. This one isn't, it's mid priced and well worth it. $17 deep dish pizza is the best I've had. I think that's inexpensive for the best. Got a full bar. Drinks might be a little pricey but really delicious. You're not getting ripped off at all, they make them really good. The bartenders and waitstaff are super nice. Make you feel comfortable instantly. If you're looking for incredible food and drink, go here. Do not pass it bye going elsewhere. I love the atmosphere, the decorating. One thing, better chairs but really not a big deal. We will be back a lot. Do the same !"

Tru Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.1 (252) • $$

"well, this place doesn't suck. despite changing their name years ago, "renee's pizza" is what you're looking for when you're trying to find this place. my girlfriend and i ordered pick up and got a 16" thin crust pizza, cheesebread, fries, and a calzone for an unsavory total of... $72. yikes! gotta love that gluten-free *and* vegan tax. first off... adding "light" for the vegan cheese is a must. it almost always is. not only that, they charge you $3 instead of $6, and as you can see, there's still plenty. the pizza was great honestly. i'm not usually a fan of new york style crusts, but this works. their dough is surprisingly pliable and chewy for being gluten free which is a big thumbs up. my only real knock on this is that the "roasted garlic" we added was the jarred stuff. you know.. the kind that's peeled by chinese prisoners' teeth (don't watch "rotten" on netflix, seriously) -- but i digress. the cheesebread is whatever. it's on the same thin crust that their pizza is, and it's just sad and kind of lifeless... reminiscent of what Blaze Pizza calls cheesebread. a sprinkle of vegan parmesan and/or some garlic salt would improve this a lot. it's not bad, just mid as hell. i'd pass on a second visit.the calzone looked awful but was actually pretty incredible. the size of it was decent, the fillings were pretty plentiful... not much negative to say here except it'd be made better with a brush of garlic butter. mm, mm. their fries come off very... five guys. which is good if you're like me and actually enjoy a greasy-and-kinda-soggy fry. they hit the spot, and for someone with celiac (my girlfriend), it was nice to be able to order some deep fried fries and not have to settle with some air fried ore ida at home. as a whole, renee's -- er... Tru... -- is a pretty impressive gluten free place with solid vegan options. previous years' photos of their vegan options look atrocious, but it looks like the new owners have found out how to melt the cheese (which is sad.. it ain't hard). my only kindawish is that they'd have plant-based meats on the menu, but when this relatively small amount of food was already $72, i can see why they don't bother to offer it. absolutely worth a look if you want vegan pizza and/or a celiac friendly option in the area."

New York Pizza Depot

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (378) • $

"NYPD is our go-to pizza spot in A2. The dine in area is large enough for groups- and it's decorated like we are in NYC. We order up a freshly made pie on the spot, it is served up delicious & cooked to perfection. My favorite is the white sauce pizza, while my son opts for the yummy Chi town pizza. My man loves the pepperoni roll. We can't wait for our next slice!"

Union Assembly

★★★★☆ 4 (246) • $$

"Tasty white pizza (no pic but ricotta, garlic, arugula so good!) and cheesecake that is so deliciously whipped!! Great meal with plenty of leftovers for more delicious meals!!!"

Slice of the 80's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (219) • $

"Really good pizza. Plus they were super fast at delivery.I highly recommend this place. We ordered pizza and cheese bread. FANTASTIC!!!!"

Kruse & Muer In the Village

★★★★☆ 3.8 (251) • $$

"The BEST Bread in all of Metro Detroit! The pizza is also fantastic and the fish is always fresh. They always run a great holiday gift card deal where if you buy $100 you get a $20 coupon, what a great deal!"

Niki's Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (331) • $$

"After a long flight to Detroit, I found myself STARVING. Myself and a few friends from a conference looked around for a place to sit and have a good meal. We found Niki's Pizza - a wonderful spot not that far from the riverfront. It has pizza, salads, regular entrees, and a full bar. It was exactly what we needed!I ordered a small veggie pizza - I've never had a Detroit style pizza and it was so good!The inside of Niki's was clean and inviting. On my first visit to Niki's (because YES, I went back the next day to eat more pizza), the A/C was broken. Our server was so kind and explained the situation. She asked if we needed any additional waters or anything to compensate for the heat. Luckily, I am from sweltering Florida, so the heat was not bothering me one bit! The next day, the A/C was all fixed up. I highly recommend Niki's if you are in the area or staying at a hotel nearby. It's a great place to sit and breathe after a long day at a conference or after a day of travel!"

Home Slice Pizza

★★★★☆ 4 (220) • $$

"Ate here after doing a pedal cart pub crawl. I warn you it may look dark and such on the outside and it's totally open. The pizza I had was DELICIOUS!! Excellent crust, good sauce, fresh toppings."

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (428) • $$

"A great place for cheap late-night food! My friends and I came on a Tuesday at 10:30 PM, which was during happy hour, so we ordered several appetizers, which were all $7. Additionally, since it was Tuesday, all pizookies were $5, which is a steal. Since it was relatively late, we had no issues being seated, and the waitress was very attentive to our needs, checking in on us multiple times. The food was nothing too extravagant, but it was perfect for what we needed. Would definitely recommend coming during happy hour!"

Gaudino's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (225) • $$

"This place was very good! We met friends for dinner here and got to meet the owner who was very personable. The owner even took the time to give us the history of the place when we asked (3 generations!). There's lots of old family pictures in the area by the restrooms too. The food was very good - Italian. Most of us paired and split a salad and pizza. We had leftovers for the next day. Highly recommend!"

Bar Verona

★★★★☆ 4.1 (193) • $$

"Food was good, ambience is really nice, but service was a little lacking.We ordered the Brie and toast, salad, steak tips, and spaghetti and meatballs.The building is beautiful and has a very cozy look with really nice lights too. There's also a heated patio with string lights. The service was not great because we got our check pretty early and then there were no refills on the water. I had to ask for a water refill and only got it the one time I asked."

The Stubborn Brother Pizza Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (233) • $$

"The Stubborn Brother Pizza hit the spot! We arrived just in time to grab a seat at the bar to dine in. Super cute, industrial style cozy interior. The bartender greeted us promptly & stayed on it the whole time. We got some drafts & ordered some much needed garlic bread & meatballs. Holy yum! Super tasty! He opted for slices of pizza- I chose to order up a whole one for days of leftovers! We really wanted dessert but had no room. Maybe next time! Dont sleep on this one. The crust was amazing & the whole experience was a memorable one. This is one of our new favs!"

Woodward Avenue Brewers

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (309) • $$

"I love WAB's chill laid back atmosphere and corner bar feel, great beer, tasty food, and cool music. Their beers are made in house and they have a great rotating tap list and beer is super cheap too! Only $5 for a pint and $7 for a five beer flight sampler that's served on a cool half record flight board. Great music playing too like The Cure, Joy Division, The Buzzcocks, etc. The Space Shake IPA is one of my faves, not too bitter or hoppy and well-balanced with mango and vanilla. Very refreshing and tasty! The food is really good too! They offer a rotating list of sandwiches with shrimp poboy being a summer fave. They also have pizzas, cheese bread, wraps, appetizers, soup, chili, and more. Lots of vegetarian options like Impossible chili, veggie wrap, and veggies with red pepper hummus. Do yourself a favor and order the French Onion soup!!! It's so cheesy and delicious! Love it!! The pizzas are medium sized, around $12-$14, a good size to split with someone. I love the Buffalo Chicken pizza, sooo spicy and yummy!! The cheese bread you can order as a small for $6 or large for $10. It has a blend of mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan and garlic butter but was too greasy for me. The caprese salad is one of my faves, so refreshing and tasty for summer with super flavorful balsamic glaze, pesto, fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. The churros with ice cream and caramel sauce are also very good. WAB owns the Loving Touch. If you're going to a concert at The Loving Touch you can check in at WAB up to two hours in advance so you can get your wrist band early and avoid lines at the door. The wrist band has a coupon for $5 off your bill at WAB that you can tare off. After the show, your actual wristband also serves for an additional coupon for $5 off food and drinks at The Emory too. Can't beat a deal like that!! I'd recommend getting your beers before the show at WAB as each beer is $5 there but the same beer at The Loving Touch is $9. Service is always really good, fast and friendly. Love WAB. It will definitely be a pre-show Ferndale tradition."

Too Ra Loo

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (302) • $$

"Great place for large grounds with a group of 6 we walked right in and sat down. Irish sports bar ambiance. I got the grizzly pizza and it was good, there was an unbelievable amount of toppings on it which made it pretty greasy. Drink prices were good and service was good. Overall our group found their food to be just ok, however, everyone agreed it was a great place to grab drinks with a group."
