Backlot Pizza + Kitchen

I came in for the first time a few weeks ago, and have not shot up about this place ever since! I have used the words ' life changing' over and over to describe my experience here. I had no idea what I was missing out on before my first experience with Detroit style pizza at back lot!I am not a huge pizza connoisseur, which made this even more of a surprise to me as I came in expecting to order something else on the menu. What made this pizza special is the deep dish, crispy cheese on the outside. And the extra amount of sauce piled on the top of the pie. It is, of course, served in a Square rather than a circle, but shape is less of a priority compared to these flavor factors!!This pizza was absolutely perfect with Italian sausage, pepperoni, bacon, red onion, and other toppings. I had it for three meals, and was blown away, even eating it as leftovers! I absolutely cannot wait to come back, although I have never targeted a restaurant for pizza in my life, back lot is in the top of my list. Next time someone asks me where I'd like to eat!! I should mention as well, the service was great also. We actually left our credit card here, and came back to get it a few days later, and they had it in the back for us. The only thing I wish they did different is answer their phones, as I called him about five times in three days with no answer at any point.

Backlot is an unexpectedly nice restaurant for being attached to a movie theater. We have visited several times and always been pleased with our meal. I highly recommend ordering the pizza, as that has always been the biggest hit and bang for your buck. I personally love the Uptown which features some of my favorite toppings - prosciutto, goat cheese, and balsamic glaze.I will say service is on the slower side, so if you are coming here before a movie give yourself plenty of time to eat.

I've been here a few times and overall it's pretty good. The interior is nice- darker in some areas than other but tastefully designed.The menu isn't terribly vast, however, they have some good appetizers at a decent price during happy hour.I've been here 3 times and service all 3 times has been good to good/great. Servers are attentive but not overbearing.The food seems to be the most OK thing of the whole experience. Good, but not mind blowing. Pizza was flavorful (could've used a tad more sauce) however just really heavy and greasy. Which, in all fairness, was expected.The food is just probably not my favorite type and that's no fault of backlot. Love that it's attached to ACX because it's super convenient to hit a movie afterwards.When I left on my most recent visit, the chef had indicated they were trying to level up their menu. I'll certainly be back to try it out again when that happens!

I've been to Backlot a handful of times. With the disclaimer that we are usually going to a movie after and I'm not the biggest fan of Detroit style pizza. With that being said, the pizza is okay however, the ambience and cocktails are really what makes me return to this place. My husband ordered an Old Fashioned, and I ordered a Raspberries and Cream Martini. It was very good, and had the perfect sweetness. The table of ladies across from me stopped to ask what it was, so it definitely looks beautiful.We got the Bourbon Barbecue Chicken Pizza for dinner. The bourbon bbq sauce is sweet and unfortunately takes over the other flavors in the pizza.

Food was good but service was horrible. Saw our waitress once to take our order and pay our bill. We were seated for 45 minutes no refills and she walked by our empty cups 3 time. Never asking if our food came out as ordered. I had to ask a hostess to get me something that was missing from our order.

Food was awesome !! Our waiter (Hunter) was very helpful and friendly. Will be back for sure.

Food is amazing and the staff is equally great! We had fantastic service and the restaurant was clean and cozy! Our group of 5 had the lasagna special and I was blown away how delish it was. It was a family style lasagna and we got salad as well. So much food at an amazing price. I definitely recommend this place! They also take reservations if you don't want to wait for a table!

My son's baseball game ran later than expected, so my family was trying to find a place to eat where we could sit down, catch our breath, fill our bellies, and cool downIt was a difficult task trying to find a restaurant that served food after 9PM, but a google search showed us that Backlot was nearby, and still open so we headed thereWhen we got there we were informed that they were serving the "after 9" menu which was just pizza, wings, and fries (and a full bar). That was okay with us, since we were mainly there for pizza.We were seated right away, and I ordered a margarita and my husband got a beer.For food we ordered the uptown (Prosciutto, arugula, goat cheese, balsamic reduction), and the bourbon Barbeque chicken. Both were delicious, and I'd absolutely order both again. The pizza is Detroit style so it has a thick delicious pan crust.The waiter didn't seem super familiar with the menu, but he was very nice and when he wasn't sure about something he checked on it for us. He made sure our drinks were refilled, and our orders were correct.

Detroit transplant in Omaha who was very happy to find Detroit style pizza. I recommend the Detroit Classic (pepperoni) and finish with a hot fudge cream puff, that's Detroit through and through. They just need Vernors and it would be complete.

The food we ordered was terrible. They offer 3 burgers in their menu. We asked for plain cheeseburgers and fries. It took forever to get the food, no one in the dining room. When the food came the buns were burned and the burger was a hockey puck. When we got our bill the burgers were $18 a piece. More expensive than the ones in the menu. Won't eat here again.
