“Great pizza! Used the phone BOT and was VERY impressed!“

“This has been my local Jet's Pizza for about 10 years now. I usually do pickup and have found that they are consistently on-time and their coupons usually mean I can easily find a good deal to order online. Even if things are busy they're good at giving accurate estimates and dealing with the occasional large order. I will continue to use them regularly.“

“Waited one hour to be seated. Was told it wood be 15-20 mins .there were kids running around the restaurant. With no supervision from management or parents. Didn’t wait . It will be a long time before I go back . So I went to Tomato Appizza right around the corner and had a great dinner. Bye bye buddy’s“

“The food and service were amazing. I ordered the shrimp Diavola and grilled octopus to start! Both were amazing! I ordered Rigatoni with steak tips and salmon scampi for mains which both I highly recommend! Jay our server was very attentive and had a great personality! Would definitely request him again! Thank you Aurora ?“

“Great music, amazing food, and perfect service. Great night!“

“We had a bridal shower here today. The staff was amazing, the food was excellent, the organization leading up to the party and communication throughout was top tier. Our overall experience was a 10/10.“

“In our house we are pizza snobs. We try lots of pizza places. We ordered here for the first time today and WOW! it was one of the best pizzas I’ve had. While waiting for our order we were looking at the menu on the wall and we now have a list of things we have to try! We will definitely be back again and again. I will say it was a bit more pricey than the chain places but definitely worth every penny!“

“it was our first time here at Maisano's. we were celebrating our 29th anniversary. our server was Layla. She did an awesome job. her service to us made our anniversary extra special. thank you so very much. we will definitely be back.“

“This place is phenomenal. I don’t say that lightly. Everything was perfect. We got a margarita pizza, the lobster ravioli, and the tiramisu. Couldn’t believe how good the sauce was on the ravioli. The pizza had a soft crunch at the bottom and it was so light! They also serve fresh bread. The tiramisu was a huge portion and enough for two. We also got a chicken soup which was fantastic. Our server Tracey was so kind and welcoming. I will DEFINITELY be back here and recommend it to everyone!!! Huge fan!“

“Very good food with a very good desert“

“Outstanding service - very good food and drinks - the time table on seating was a bit discerning - we would have ordered dessert after a great meal but otherwise a very nice evening“

“My parents started bringing me here in the late 70s as a little kid. I haven't been in over a year and met a friend for dinner tonight. Over the years I have fallen out of love with pizza in general. Except for Mama Mia's Redford. It was so delicious I couldn't stop eating. I certainly won't be waiting another year to come back. The last time I came here was December 2022 to surprise my mom. The Christmas decorations are absolutely beautiful and she was just so Delighted with the food and decorations. I hadn't seen her that excited in a long time. She passed away seven months later which is the only reason why I couldn't bring myself to come back until tonight. I will be coming back monthly. Great ambience, delicious food and the staff is always on point! Thank you for keeping this restaurant a treasure and you have earned your 48 years of success!“

“They have great staff and owners.The food is great! Nice atmosphere.❤️“

“food was absolutely amazing! service was on point and attentive and friendly! and, what an awesome atmosphere! cozy and fun!“

“Cheeseburger medium is excellent“

“Our family , 3 adults, one toddler and one 4 month old, had a delicious and delightful meal on Saturday evening , Even though we arrived 10 minutes to 9 pm( kitchen closes at 9), we were graciously seated by the hostess. The server came over immediately and brought us 2 highchairs. We started our feast with ɓreadsticks and didn't have to wait long for our meals. Everything was perfect.Thanķ you for a lovely evening out! We wiĺl return soon for more of your hospitality!“

“Wonderful meal, great prices, large portions, wonderful service.“

“Had calamari which was like eating rubber. Pasta was very good although the waitress didn't know if the pasta was made in-house. Pizza was the star. It's the best around this area. Service was slow.“

“Antonio's is my go to spot for Lasagna.

We stopped by Sunday late afternoon. 8 of us. Enjoyed lasagna. Seafood manicotti, pizza and other items.

Service Sunday was superb. Our waiter was very attentive and made us laugh on several occasions.

Onto the food. It is consistent and as expected when we eat at this Antonio's. Always tasty. Temperature hot and fresh.

What was an eye shock was the pricing. For three of us my bill before tip was $ 115. 👀😳😳😳.

This includes a 3% " fee " for some reason or another.

Looking closely at the bill. And knowing when looking at the menu. Things here dramatically went up. Lasagna my staple here went from $17.50 to $ 23.50. A pop beverage was $ 4.50 and a side of ranch dressing was $ 2.50. This all gives context to the experience.

I can say that between beverages and ranch for three people I added $ 16 to my bill. 😳.

Desert items were tasty. I don't feel the cheese cake for it's size and what not was worth the $ 7.95. it was a tad over cooked. Not creamy / fluffy as cheesecake should be.

Overall. Atmosphere is what your group makes of it. We had a very good time. Service is what your waiter makes of it. And he was superb. Unfortunately. And this is tricky. The value of what we received here is a HUGE miss. All in all my cost for three of us was $ 136.00 total. And we had one lasagna, two seafood manicotti's. Three pops and two deserts. Casual dining overall at super fine dining pricing.

Our family eats together monthly. We rotate restaurants. We will look to expand our rotation to a tad more affordable and different options in the months to come. Nothing against the food. It's just an expense that has exceeding our willingness to pay.“

“Great thin pizza - cooked quickly in a wood fire oven - salad was very fresh“

“By far the best Italian restaurant on the west side. Great menu and Very authentic“

“Enjoyed a delicious lunch here today. Food was fabulous, Natalie (server) was excellent. I would recommend asking for her next time you dine here.“

“Great subs serving Redford area!!!“

“Okay, overall. Revisited this place after many years. So my review is based on my previous many visits here.

Food was good. But felt the minestrone soup kind of lacked the taste. Then the main course which had basil pesto mentioned in it however on the plate it was more of a topping. Felt it missed the generous amount usually they gave earlier. Also saw that they removed the pesto sauce from the "create your own pasta". Earlier the breads always arrived much before the soup did, but this time they came much later (not good). Also it used to be 5 in the basket but now we got only 3!!

Our waiter was fine. He was polite and courteous. We had a wait of about 10 mins and I observed that there were many booths free, perhaps less staff available today..

Vegetarian options: Eggplant parmigiana, minestrone soup, build your own pasta etc.“

“Great spot to take the family and grab a quick lunch or dinner. Can’t go wrong with the breadsticks and marinara as a starter here. For our entrees we ordered the fettuccine chicken Alfredo with broccoli and the eggplant parm. Everything was good but what really stood out was our server Chloe, she took the experience to another level. She gets dining out and made sure our visit was an enjoyable one 👍!“

“Worked late tonight and didn’t want a pizza. Bought a Jetzie. Wonderful. I’ve got a new favorite.“

“Food was really good😍 yes“

“The Vicari family organization always delivers. Thus was an excellent experience, especially the homemade pasta. The mushroom appetizer is divine. The bread basket and olive oil is a wonderful extra touch. The wine selection is extensive and reasonably priced. The kitchen is very receptive to special request, like pasta with a “dry bowl” without sauce “swimming” in the bottom of the bowl. Great vegetarian offerings as well.  Server Jackie was professional, crisp and attentive without being intrusive. The room is exceptionally comfortable with elegance and sophistication but without pretense. We are looking forward to our next return. 😎👍💪🙏“

“Had a pizza & salad carry out from the Novi location around lunchtime today (2/17/25) and the pizza was SO GOOD! I mean, it’s always great, but today it tasted unusually scrumptious! Thanks, Buddy’s.“

“If you're craving Italian food with exceptional service, look no further the dishes are packed with flavor, and every bite feels like a taste of Italy. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal and a warm atmosphere! Thanks, Julian, for always delivering an amazing experience“

“Amazing staff, quality ingredients, and atmosphere“

“What a wonderful man running the place! And delicious pizza too! 😍 thank you for the wonderful experience!“

“It’s delicious! Service is always wonderful!“

“Ordered a OG, a large round pepperoni pizza with butter crust. There was a lot of pepperonis, so if you aren’t a huge pepperoni person, maybe ask for less pepperoni. I probably would order it again, but with butter cheese crust the next time.

The garlic mozzarella bread sticks were pretty good, although a little dry. Wish they were a little more cheesy. Most definitely would put Primos as a top 10.“

“Best gluten free pizza 🍕 hands down!“

“One of the best locations, currently. Very friendly and professional staff. I appreciate whenever my food is well-prepared/packaged and visually appealing, no matter the price point. The seemingly fresh vegetable topping options offered coupled with the seasoned crust, made for a very delicious pizza.

Vegetarian options: Fair selection of vegetarian toppings and options available.“

“This jetts location is hands down my favorite spot to order from. They are always super friendly and on time with the order even if they're busy. But that's what makes this place, amazing food and definitely worth the wait every time! Also the employees at this location definitely deserve a raise!“

“Ninos Italian Bakery is a hidden gem in Walled Lake.
This small, locally owned bakery consistently delivers some of the most amazing donuts and pastries around—always fresh, delicious, and beautifully crafted. My coworkers are thrilled when I bring them into the office!
We’ve also enjoyed their loaves of bread and their whole cakes.
Beyond the sweet treats, they offer a fantastic variety of savory options, sandwiches, pizza ingredients and take n bakes. Ninos has a small market of specially curated Italian specialties.
The friendly and welcoming staff make every visit a pleasure. If you’re in the area, Ninos is a must-try!“

“I love pizza. And apparently so does chubby charlie's... The dough perfect. The sauce tasty. The cheese 100% mozzarella. The toppings endless... I challenge anyone who's a pizza lover like me to ask for a topping on a pizza that this place doesn't have.“

“I love the service and the friendly and efficient staff, but most of all the food. it's always hot, fresh and delicious. Generous portions usually allow for both lunch and dinner. Every Monday I check out the weekly menu to choose which day of the week I'll be treating myself. Sometimes, I end up going twice in one week.“

“From outside it appears to be a large liquor store, inside you realize they are so much more! Great place if you need to grab something for lunch quickly. Sandwiches and pizza slices made fresh and ready to go! They also have x-lg pizza"s that are perfect for a party or the big game. Food is good and reasonably priced. Service is fast and friendly, I love Bushemis would definitely recommend.“

“Andiamo's always has great things on their menu to discover and the service is always impeccable. Jason our server was one of the best I've ever had. Both entrées were superb and we enjoyed every bit of it. There are some interesting non-classic drinks  that they prepare and my dinner partner loved two of them. I stuck with the classic martini and their impeccable, blue cheese infused olives.  we always go back. “

“Saw this place when I was at Panera bread. I stopped by and ordered a large pepperoni. I have to say it beats out all the large trash franchises. The young man taking my order was very nice“

“I ordered cupcakes and a cake for my wedding reception. It was delicious!! The raspberry cream filling in the cake was to die for and everyone likes the cupcakes. They made my wedding cake how I envisioned it and couldn’t be happier!!“

“First time ordering from Pizza Cutter, and very friendly phone service for ordering, and also friendly in the store at pickup! The place was very clean too. Pizza was great with lots of cheese and nice chew to the crust without being under-cooked. Will absolutely order from here again!“

“We have ordered there for years. Today 4/2/2020 was the best service we have ever gotten from order to delivery. Made EXACTLY how we wanted and PIPING HOT! Thank you to whoever made our pizza and wings and to the fastest delivery person! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU A+++! I am no longer hangry. 😃“
