8 Best Italian Restaurants near Brandon

“Simply the best in Ortonville. IYKYK“

“My wife and I used to go to the Sterling Heights Restaurant and loved it very much. Especially their pizza! We ran accross the Clarkston location about 3 years or so ago and have taken many family members and friends there. Unfortunately, they won't serve their larger family size pizza to inside diners. They only serve it to carry out clients. Several times, especially after we were given back our freedom, we were making plans to go to dinner with friends for pizza and I suggested going there. My wife reminded me they only serve personal pan pizza's. Unfortunately, they do not taste the same. So, we choose Pizza Mia in Grand Blanc when we wan't pizza. We do go to Boligna's when it isn't a pizza night. Unfortunate!“

“Been coming here for years. Food is great. Always get the soup, salad, and breadsticks. Can’t go wrong with that. I have ONE complaint though. It is a waiter whose name is BUCK (I think). He’s got a southern accent (or sounds like it). This man has been there for years. He is rude & condescending. He said to me and my family when I asked him if my son could have a glass instead of a kid’s glass, Buck said “Last time I checked, it was all over the table.” First off, I had no idea what he was talking about. Wrong customer he’s talking about, not us. Second, you don’t talk to customers that way regardless. And then we came back a few months later, and we were stuck with Buck again. We asked him about something that used to be on the menu and if they still served it and he said “Never heard of it.” We have witnesses him giving the same treatment to other customers as well. How this man has stayed employed this long I’ll never understand.“

“We’ve used Crispellis catering twice now - back in 2022 and now 2023 - both times the food was delicious and the delivery was on time, the set up was very helpful. The food was piping hot and packaged well to travel. They make the process easy and seamless. I cannot recommend them enough.“

“Back in April we camped down the street and it was cold and rainy so we found a "random" pizza place to get food since we didnt feel like cooking. It was really great pizza! So great that we were back in the area this weekend and grabbing pizza and cheese bread from there was our choice for our dinner. The staff was super friendly and food delicious, again. This will be a place we stop at every time we are in the area. Yum!“

“Can't go wrong with the cheese bread 🤗“

“I ordered a Deep dish pizza received a thin crust pizza and then they told me that's exactly what I ordered ....bad place..“

“The pizza and breadsticks were just room temperature. We did have to put them in the oven to warm them up. The pizza wasn't cooked all the way through also. I know it's cold outside so that could've had an impact on the temperature of the items. This was a delivery order.“
