Me and my friend came here on a Monday for dinner. There wasn't a lot of people inside at this time. We were able to order right as we walked in before getting seated. The staff were very friendly and nice. There's limited seating inside and outside so I can see this place getting packed during their busy hours. Best day of the week to come is on mondays since they have "The Big Box Deal" where you can buy 1 pizza for regular price and get the 2nd pizza for $12.05. This deal can also be ordered online on Monday's. We got The Big Von and Ellen Supreme pizzas. As of this review, the Big Von pizza is the best pizza I've ever had. It was really cheesy and the honey provided a little bit of perfect sweetness. Whoever decided to put honey on a pizza is a genius. I liked that the honey wasn't too sweet and that I could still taste the great flavors of the sausage and pepperoni. It was absolutely delicious. The Ellen Supreme pizza also tasted really good. It was cheesy and the combination of pepperoni, sausage, onions, peppers and mushrooms made it really flavorful. It tasted like what I would have expected from a supreme pizza but after eating the Big Von pizza first, I felt like it was missing some honey. The size of the pizza might look small but it is stuffed like a Detroit style pizza. Each pizza has 4 square slices and should be enough for 2 adults. I didn't eat lunch and I was barely able to finish 3 slices. Street parking may be limited but it is free after 6pm. I remember seeing quite a few open spots in front of the restaurant at this time since a lot of nearby businesses have closed or about to close for the day.

Great owners who have delivered consistent, high-quality pizza (and other offerings) in their different locations, including through Local Kitchens which makes it even easier to get Square Pie Guys pizza when in a pinch. Love their Detroit-style pizza and the abundance of toppings that are creatively combined in their different signature pizzas, which include a terrific crust and a range of different sauces. Hard to pick a favorite really, but if pushed, I would choose the Big Von filled with Italian sausage and pepperoni on top of a white sauce and drizzled with hot honey! Others we love include the Plant Square 2.0 which includes a mix of mushrooms, green olives, roasted broccoli, and blistered cherry tomatoes on top of a red sauce, as well as the classic 6 x 8 pepperoni. We've also used them for catering at work, and they were easy to work with and the food was hot and on time.

This place is terrible when it comes to customer service. They don't wait on you. You have to do a QR code order for food. Enter your credit card number and they bring your food out. The app crashed on me twice. The Cook actually came around from the back to help me. I spent probably five minutes which seemed like 25 just to place my order. And then before you even get your food they want a tip. I should've left zero tip and gave the Cook 25%. Pizza was good though.

Excellent pizza in a great location downtown. The staff are extremely friendly and know their stuff. If you consider yourself a pizza aficionado, this is a must.

After losing pollara I was forced to find a new place but like everybody says the pizza is overpriced.I'll add to that that the crust is ridiculously thick and chewy and the toppings are practically burnt.The red sauce has little to no flavor.

love the wings and pizza
YahYah ..
Good pizza i've tried the regular pepperoni pizza and the white sauce one or i customize my toppings but sometimes i i don't like how burnt char the pepperonis are on the pizzas because they become too crispy and not juicy but i live close by so it's always a nice choice the Ambiance of the restaurant is really cool. the customer service is okay.

Wasn't able to experience this restaurant due to the fact they said I couldn't substitute anything on my pizza, well I didn't ask for a substitute at all I just asked that they don't add any onions to my pizza. So to me I was beyond disappointed due to the fact they couldn't just not add onions on my food while it was being prepared.

There was a misunderstanding on my order, and the manager came by and mentioned that she had taken care of my order for me. Absolutely, very considerate, and shown their professionalism far beyond. Thank you

Awesome pizza, awesome staff! I tried the spicy pep 2.0 and it was delicious! It had vodka sauce, pickled jalapeños, pepperoni, and finished with spicy ranch drizzled on top. Heavenly! The pizza came in four slices and was the perfect amount for two people. I got a salad on the side but was too full after the pizza to eat it. Can't wait to try other flavors.
Delicious, although I think it's a bit overpriced I was expecting them to be a bit larger. Crust was great and still crispy when I got home. Luckily I don't eat too much and it's a good deal if you can make two meals of it, really great when reheated in the air fryer. Worth it for their 30% off happy hour

Love their pizza and wings. Detroit style or Sicilian slices if you're from New York. Love their salads too.

I had buffalo wings and they were excellent. I had a problem with my order and they apologized and swiftly replaced and refunded me. Excellent service. I did not try the pizza but it looked great.

This chain has been blowing up since it started as it's one off shop. The pizza may look small and expensive, but it's definitely high quality and really filling. No indoor seating at this location, but some areas to sit outside. Service was friendly and quick, as well as had excellent recs to share. 4.5/5
