Licavoli's Market

Charming local market with fresh fare and premade takeaway options and lots of local offerings. The delicious smell of the food hangs in the street outside. The service staff was prompt and friendly both in person and on the phone.Grabbed dinner for the family. We split an original pepperoni and mushroom pizza. The sauce was rich and bright, the dough was soft thin and crisp on the edges. The pepperoni and mushrooms were finely singed on the edge from the stone fired ovens. Absolutely phenomenal. We tried the lemon chicken sub sandwich, it was quite large and the dressing was vibrant and sharp against the lemon breaded chicken. The mozzarella was so fresh. Highly recommend. It was a cold day so I ordered a cup of "Italian penicillin" which is their homebrewed chicken bone broth soup. So hearty and flavorful and it really warmed me up. I will definitely be returning to try more sandwiches and calzones.

I can see why this place is so popular; it has solid offerings that's great for people on the go.Garden salad- Grape tomatoes, sliced cucumber, mozzarella, and thinly sliced red onions sit atop a bed of romaine and spring mix. They're in strips so you can choose how much of each ingredient you want on your plate. I liked how thin the onions were, so you can control the aromaticness of each bite and not have it be so overwhelmingly spicy. The croutons are home made, and some of them are more browned than others, but all were very crunchy and had herb seasoning on them. The homemade Italian dressing wasn't too pungent and had a lightness that complemented the ingredients.Sugo pasta- The rigatoni had a texture slightly past al dente which was wonderful. The pasta sauce showcased the quality of the ingredients-crushed tomato with garlic and basil. It was perfectly seasoned and wasn't lacking for anything despite the simple ingredients that went into it. Interestingly enough, when I had this for leftovers the next day, the pasta sauce had sweetened up more for some reason, maybe the acid in the sauce was absorbed by the pasta? It was still delicious.Chicken piccata- This is different from what I was expecting. This dish had tender moist boneless, skinless chicken breasts with artichoke hearts in a large amount of brown-grey gravy. I seriously would not have thought it was piccata other than the fact that it was labelled on the tray. There was no lemon or capers to be detected anywhere, and the ratio of solid to liquid was off..if someone had chopped up the food into bite-sized pieces it would easily pass as soup.Cheesy sticks- Essentially a round of their pizza dough that's topped with mozzarella and parmesan. The crust is thin and crispy, and the cheese is nicely melted. The ingredients complement each other; some places use the bread to pile on as much cheese as possible, but this place has a great balance of each component.I'm still not sure what was going on with their piccata, but it was delicious even if it wasn't what I was expecting. Maybe it's a family recipe? I would characterize the food as delivering on flavor without weighing down on your stomach-you can taste the quality in each bite.

I'm saddened to update this review after the pizza I just ordered. The crab pizza I ordered tastes like someone POURED salt on it. It's terribly disappointing and unhealthy to add that much salt to food. I will go with other options moving forward. i returned the pizza and was given a refund.

Ordered some dinner from here through DoorDash, next time I might just order it directly, DoorDash didn't really let me know how long it would be. I checked in at the counter and they let me know they were working on my order. The chicken parm sub was excellent, good amount of sub but not too much to make it soggy. The chicken was crispy and a good portion. One of my favorite things to get here is the roasted beet salad. I don't think I can ever have too many of the candied walnuts which are just the right amount of sweet but not too candied. The lemon vinaigrette just ties everything together. I love you can shop for other things while you're there. Also believe there is a little spot where you can dine it which I need to do in the future.

This was our first time to this Italian market and deli, as we're not eastsiders. We had planned to spend the day in the Grosse Pointe area and had read great reviews about Licavoli's pizza. We stopped in and ordered the Marghe "Rita" pizza and asked for extra basil. Well, we were not disappointed! In fact, the pizza (which was up in about 15 minutes) far exceeded our expectations. It's a NY/East Coast-style thin crust (a definite homage to Neapolitan pizza), done in a stone-fired oven. And it's done perfectly, with a wonderfully tangy sauce and plenty of mozzarella. But the crust may be the real star here - the consistency and flavor are superb. I was in heaven while partaking of my first slice and may have reached nirvana on the second slice. The sauce, the thin tomato slices, and extra basil worked in concert to create a beautiful symphony.We really enjoyed our visit; the staff was friendly and we ate at one of the tables. I do wish there was a little more in terms of Italian grocery items on shelves and it would be nice if they had a deli counter with meats. They do have prepared deli items that look good. We will be back. I highly recommend Licavoli's pizza!

We stopped by here to grab two round pizzas. One Classico "pepperoni" and a MargheRita, that way it covers the meat lovers and vegetarian friendly folks.We brought some other sides from Holiday Mkt K.N. the way to the east side to pick up some pizza. The pizza is thin crust and longer slices, but not NY style. The MargheRita and the Classico were both decent and enjoyed by the guests.

Been going here since it opened! Best subs, pizza and salad on the Eastside! The Antipasto salad is like a sub in a bowl! Amazing dressing!

Always on the lookout for that east coast hand tossed pizza. Nothing against Detroit style that's delicious as well, but I grew up near Boston so I do like my nostalgia pie from time to time. A coworker turned me on to this place so I gave it a shot.It's got a cool little market to shop for some essentials while you wait for your pie. What can I say. It's really good! Quality ingredients, nice crispy crust not to thick. I put this on my list along with Luigi's. Great Pie.

I had high hopes, but was underwhelmed. After hearing so many rave reviews about the pizza, I was so excited to try it but found my Margherita pizza was very bland. The presentation is beautiful but I felt like it was missing flavor. I kept taking more bites to try to figure out what it was and I don't know if it's the crust, the sauce, or cheese, but overall, it felt like an overpriced pizza for subpar quality. I will say, their cannolis are small but definitely hit the flavor spot! I didn't get a warm and friendly feel after walking in, and it was only me and one other guest. The inside is absolutely beautiful and reminds me of a market in Italy. I really wanted to love it, but for the other reasons above, I don't think I'll be back.

My made to order pizza was perfectly done and delicious. The very this crust, red sauce and cheese in harmony with my favorite toppings. Reheats in the oven in ten minutes and fantastic.
