Just had a slice from their truck at Exile Brewery Music Festival. It cost $5. They had no pepperoni or black olives. Got a slice of simply cheese. Worst piece of pizza I've ever had. I get much better slices at the gas station

Heard they were good so figured we would give em a try and got the hog wild. Pizza was not cooked enough. Crust was very bland and pure white. I’ve had better so unfortunately it will probably be the first and last we order from them. Also got the breadsticks which were also bland. The only positive was the marinara dipping sauce, very good!

We ordered the The Deep Dish Pizza My Kind Of Town and the Meatball skewers both were feeling Thought the meatballs were a little pricey. The staff was nice and polite, helped us when we asked, a clean environment. It was our first time, we enjoyed it and will be back at some point. (No photos of the meatball skewers)

Vibe- Very clean look outside and inside. There’s seating outside. There’s plenty of seating inside. TVs all around playing local news and spots of course.Customer service- Everyone was polite. They came by the table to check on my boyfriend and I a coupon of times!Food/drinks- I went with the Mona Lisa pizza with the vegan mozzarella for my cheese choice (happy they have that as an option). I got the pizza without the other two cheeses as well; the ramona and ricotta.I will say if I were to ever order this pizza again, I’d get it without kalamata olives too.Parking- There’s plenty of parking!

Went here for the first time. Ordered three different pizzas with three different types of crust. There was a mistake on one of our pizzas and they were super sweet and fix it right away with a new pizza and let us keep that other pizza. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.

So many more options than your chain pizza places! The ingredients they use are surely of higher quality and they even have vegan cheese and sausage options. When told I was allergic to something, they actually have an allergy button on the register to ensure no mistakes are made. It may cost more for a pizza here but it's well worth it!

To go order: Good front counter help with friendly interactions. Pizzas were cooked to specificationsand finished products were a pleasant palate experience. Quite tasty. I'm definitely glad I drove the extra 3 miles to give it a try versus settling for the areas competition.

I understand the business is struggling but taking away the fan favorite steak deburgo pizza isn't the way to fix it. This is going to be the downfall of the business. The owner already drives around like an @$$ in his crappy 2007 scion box car. I know several people including myself who would make trips here just for the steak deburgo. When we walked in last weekend and were told it is now seasonal, we left and went to waterfront. Taking local favorites off the menu so you can cut corners will inevitably seal the fate of your company. I hope the owner does some soul searching and stops being such a douche bag.

Stopped and ordered Caesar salad and Detroit style pizza. Best Caesar ive had in DM. Never had Detroit style pizza but im addicted. This was fabulous. !!!!!!

Decided to try the Detroit style pizza from here. Had some good points to it (decent Detroit style crust) but overall not the greatest. Wouldn't recommend one of those but will try other pizza from here another time.

Delicious! Everything we had was great but the PTP Baby pizza and the house made creamy Italian salad dressing were over the top amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We got a bottle of dressing to go since we live out of town. Highly recommend this place!

My daughter and I slipped in just before they closed (still sorry about that) but they stayed open for our order. It was the first time I had been, and I was impressed with the service. He didn't seem at all put off by our late arrival. And the food was excellent.
