Hidden gem, this place has some of the best pizza I’ve ever had in the area. I tried the Margherita, really great balance of flavors. Not too heavy on the sauce or cheese, and it didn’t give me that heavy, greasy feeling while eating it like a normal pizza does. This tells me they’re using good quality ingredients. Worth driving out to, I’m definitely coming back!

Really great Detroit style pizza (thicker crust with crispy cheesy edges) or just great pizza if you are a pizza lover. It’s a small space with 3 tables, but we saw lots of people get pizza to go. You can order a 4 slice or 8 slice pizza, which comes as a rectangle cut into squares. We tried the Margherita, BBQ chicken, and garlic cheesy bread with marinara sauce. All were very tasty, but I liked the Margherita the most. It’s about a 15-20 min wait for pizza because they make it fresh. You can call in ahead if you don’t want to wait. Try it out!

Came here for the first time , saw a lot of good reviews, and even a customer who dine in to eat a pizza said it was great, so I was ready to enjoy my 3 pizza that I order. 1 double pepperoni 8 slices , 1veggi 4 slices, and 1 santiglia 8 slices. Took it to my friend's house , not that far 8-minute drive to his place. Everything looks good and delicious, but once we got eating the pizza , I was like 🤔 nothing special, maybe because I really don't order Detroit style pizza, crispy crust 👌 agreed thick airy dough idk about that 🤔, generous topping 👌 agreed, affordable price 🤔 86 with tip Idk if you consider that affordable price for 3 pizza. The pizza will get you satisfied full. From the 3 pizzas, the most flavor out of the 3 pizzas was the veggie pizza, I thought the santigla was going to have a lot of flavor, but it didn't, I tasted more the cheese. The same goes with the double pepperoni, I love pepperoni, but I wasn't about to taste the pepperoni, even my friend told me ,knowing it's double pepperoni, the veggie was the most flavorful and balanced pizza , we should of order 8 slice and the veggie and just 4 slices on the other 2 pizza.
Would I come back? But,remember this is my opinion, if you like this place then you can come back but for me it was the first time and that it. Nothing amazed me to come back, knowing it was 8 minutes away from my friend place where he lives.

Fantastic pizza, excellent value. Love that they had the door open with a nice breeze rolling through. One 8 piece was enough for 3 people. Staff was really nice as well. Glad to have finally come here. Will be back.

Fuji and VI’s Detroit-style pizza is one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and I’ve had some delicious pies across the country and in some spots outside. Napoleon style to Chicago deep dish, New York to Chicago LA to Detroit,My favorite is Detroit-style pizza, and Fuji and VI’s really brings it home.
I found out about Fuji and VI’s when their Detroit-style pizza appeared on the top 100 list for best pizza places in the world. They’re located on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, about a 20-mile drive from me. I waited 45 minutes for them to open at 11:30 AM, but it was worth it.
Pasadena can get very busy and parking can be tricky, so I wanted to get there early. This was my first time trying the place out, and they’re located on the second level, which can be hard to spot from the street. However, there’s parking in the rear.
Everything about this place is worth it! I ordered an eight-square pizza with a half-margarita, half-Biggio topping. The people were very friendly, which I appreciate and love. But the best part was the pizza!
I took my two doggies with me, so we took the pizza to go. The place is small with about three tables. When I got to my truck, I wanted to taste the pizza while it was hot, so I decided to have a bite. I gotta tell you, from the first bite, that square of pizza never had a chance! It was so delicious, cheesy, and meaty—awesome! I licked my fingers after as well.
There are other places that make a Detroit-style pizza, but I’ll be going to Fuji and VI’s for some time to come. When I lived in Detroit about 40 years ago, my favorite place was Buddy’s pizza. I would always go when I visited Detroit, and sometimes relatives and friends would send me a couple of pies. Buddy’s also used to deliver frozen pizzas to you in the mail.
It’s been years since then, and Detroit-style pizza has been popping up in various places. I’ve even seen a Detroit-style pizza at Costco. If you’re a pizza lover, especially a Detroit-style pizza lover, then Fuji and VI’s Detroit-style pizza is the place to go! They’re hands-down one of the best Detroit-style pizza you’ll ever have.

All the great Yelp reviews caught our eye for this pizza place, and we came by for some deep dish pizza. This place is a little hidden. There is parking structure in the back. I parked on the street and walked in from the front. We went upstairs and made a right to get to this pizza place. There was a guitar next to the cashier. I wonder if that is a decoration or there will be live music one of these days. Chef/cashier was friendly, and he gave us good recommendation of the pizza. We ordered a 4 squares pepperoni and a 4 square argument (pineapple and ham). It took them 15 minutes to prepare, which I do not mind. The pizza came out very hot and fresh. One of the yelp elites mentioned about the secret spicy, and we asked for it. The pizza tasted awesome by itself, and adding the secret spicy is adding sprinkles to the cake! This is the best deep dish pizza I have ever had. Highly recommended this place, and I will come back again for sure.

Makes Quarter Sheets’ Detroit style pizza look like Pizza Hut. Way better toppings to dough ratio and very indulgent. A dine in experience with alcohol would be great but that doesn’t matter when the pizza is this good.
Bread pan type crust and light toppings not for me. Seemed undercooked inside. More parking on back off west side street.
Tried Fuji & Vi Pizza for the first time and it completely lived up to the hype! We ordered the Margherita and the Santiglia pizzas—both were fantastic in their own way. The Margherita had that perfect balance of fresh basil, creamy mozzarella, and a beautifully blistered crust. The Santiglia was a flavor bomb—savory, unique, and totally delicious.
You can tell they put real care into their ingredients and technique. The space has a welcoming, low-key vibe, and the staff was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It felt like a neighborhood gem that’s doing something truly special.
