Goomah

Me and my girlfriend stumbled upon Goomah pizzeria in Sylvan Lake/ keego Harbor Michigan a very small and homie location so we always love to get new restaurants around town. Decided to check this place out finally today and it did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly. We sat at the bar so we could see the football game that was on TV The scenery was very unique the decor and the design made you feel very relaxed. We ordered calamari and some drinks to start. The calamari frying batter was on point the calamari was excellent all around the price was 15$ I do believe the portion should be bigger that's really about the only negative thing I can say about what I experienced at this location. We also ordered the pesto pizza (18$) the pesto sauce, the pepperonis the crust !!! everything was very tasty and we will fursure be coming back to check out this location again. Also next-door is there other restaurant live bait that has fresh seafood, and lots of very cool unique dinner dishes as well... thank you goomahs for having us, up the portion of that calamari for us next time we loved talking and hanging out with the staff great all around people.If you're reading this please get a local brewed Rootbeer.

I really went here for the chocolate lava cake, cause I could've sworn that when I had went the first time to Goomah it was a real lava cake. This time it was more like the lava cakes they serve at Chili's, which is kind of like a chocolate cake with fake chocolate in the middle, not an authentic lava cake. It was a major disappointment! And it was burnt. Oh yea I forgot to add it was $16!!!

I wanted pizza, so we started out at Crispelli's, but then, my sister remembered that we'd seen Goomah a few weeks ago.The restaurant is where the Pepino's used to be. It's one space divided into 2 restaurants, Goomah, the Italian restaurant, and Live Bait, a seafood restaurant. We were given menus for both, though.We ordered a margherita pizza and added mushrooms to it and an antipasto salad. Both were delicious! The salami on the salad was shredded and fried, almost like meat croutons. They used thin slices of Parmesan cheese, and there were red peppers and possibly pimentos, as well as green olives. I hate olives, but my sister ate them. She said there were more olives than she usually sees in salad. The pizza had a thin but nicely crispy crust. All of the toppings were evenly placed on the pizza.Our server, Emily, was very friendly and efficient. There were only a few filled tables, so she took a little time to chat with us, which was nice.Our only real criticism was that, judging by the decor, they don't know what they want to be. There's a collection of rolling pins on one wall, a bank of t.v. sets on another wall as well as at the bar, what looks like a climbing wall (but I'm sure it's not) on another wall, the half walls have designs that look like graffiti, and the restaurant's name is in lights on the ceiling. All of this while Frank Sinatra and other Italian music plays in the background.But, restaurants are mainly about food, and theirs is very good. I am sure that we will be back!

First time at this restaurant where we ended up getting a pepperoni wood fired pizza along with their Chicken Marsala entree. Food was good where the pizza in particular was well made, not burnt as can too often happen with a wood fired operation, was quite tasty with an excellent texture and a gorgeous crust and lots of pepperoni (no skimping here). Chicken Marsala was well made as well and very juicy/tender but a notch down from the pizza on the tasty scale.Relative to the ambiance and service, Goomah has a casual and inviting vibe to it where the service was friendly but as the meal went along and the restaurant filled up they were a bit too slow on the follow ups which was the only negative aspect of this dining experience. Slow service aside, this is definately a restaurant worth checking out and you definitely should try their Happy Hour liquor and food discounts from 4 - 6 pm if you are going here (which we took full advantage of) as every little bit helps in these inflationary times that we live in these days!

We came here for dinner on 9/9/24 around 5pm. We sat outside and the service was really quick and friendly. The other half of the establishment is Goomah a pizza joint so my review is only for Live Bait. The staff were all friendly and happy to see us, the place was really clean and inviting with plenty of seating both inside and outside. In about 15 minutes we noticed it started filling up with customers so I figured it must mean great food. We were not disappointed! My lobster roll and fries were absolutely delicious and my husband's fish and fries were too. The prices seemed reasonable and the portions were generous. This place will be one to add to our favorite list. BTW, you can order from both Live Bait & Goomah's menus no matter where you sit.

Great food, great space and a welcome addition to Keego. This is a new Italian restaurant in the old Pepinos space. Live Bait is a new oyster bar next door and both are owned by the same people that own El Camino. They have only been open for three months so still working out some of the service kinks. The pizzas were delicious with good sauce and tasty crust. We tried the margarita and the mushroom. The leeks decorating the mushroom pizza were out of place but once we scraped that off the pizza was great. We tried the antipasto, Caesar and Caprese salads and all were fresh and well prepared. The only thing I regretted ordering were the glazed carrots, because they were flavorless. The pasta dishes that the table next to us ordered looked amazing and I will be back to try them.We had some issues with the bar and the mixed drinks coming out were both too weak and too strong. Those of us that ordered beer and wine were the happiest. Overall the food is great. Service is very slow but they are still getting the hang of it and I don't mind overlooking that for now.

The pizza options near us are mostly chains that we've exhausted over the summer, so we had our fingers crossed that Goomah could become a new pizza staple. And "woohoo!"-- we were extremely impressed!The employee on the phone was very pleasant! I ordered the Margherita pizza, which is one of the best I've ever had (if not THE best). I'm not a raw tomato person, so the fact that they just use tomato sauce instead of tomato slices won me over right away.My boyfriend ordered the Spicy Sausage and Onion pizza and there was no shortage of delicious sausage slices on top! We devoured both pizzas from dinner to lunch the next day. We both agreed that the crust is crispy and light, and we didn't feel overly full or yucky (even though we totally binged!)We will be back very soon, and perhaps dine-in to experience the ambiance and dishes fresh from the kitchen. Run, don't walk, to try this awesome new local business!

Wow what a great new place! The service was stellar and the food was amazing. This would be an ideal place for a date. There is the Fresh Bait side and the Goomah side, I think you can order from either side/

This place has a potential. Curious decor with rolling pins on the walls and large illuminated Goomah sign on the ceiling. A series of booth along the wall and a tiny "stage" space against the back wall. What hinders them is a slow service. Not sure if they are understaffed but both of the pizzas we ordered came out cold. And by cold I mean the cheese wasn't bubbling hot but cold and hard on top - like pizza set for a while before being delivered. Likewise, we ordered drinks and we seen our order made on the bar stand but nobody was bringing it over. We had to catch attention of one of the waitresses and point to our drinks. As far as food goes - salads were good. From Caprese to Caesar, pizzas would have been good if they were fresh out of the oven. Carrot appetizer is not good. Tasted like plain boiled carrots with sauce poured over it. Tiramisu might have been good if it wasn't served frozen.

This place is AMAZING. I had Yelped a couple places in the area, and we choose Goomah's because of the stellar reviews. From the moment we walked in, I knew we had picked the right spot. The hostess was so kind and warm, and greeted us with a huge smile. She thanked us for coming in and her energy was so infectious! Coincidentally, we made it in time for happy hour (4-6pm) and were able to sample a ton of food. We ordered the calamari, caprese foccacia, pepperoni pizza, spaghetti marinara, and antipasto salad. When I tell you everything was DELICIOUS. We dug in so quickly that I didn't have time to take pictures! Order it all - you can't go wrong and everything is superb. We had such a great time and we can't wait to return! Our daughter said Goomah's is our new pizza "spot"!
