“I recently ordered from Jet's Pizza, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations! The deep-dish pizza was perfectly cooked with my favorite crust the Turbo and Cajun crust if you haven’t gotten a flavored crust from here yet your missing out. The toppings were generous and fresh, especially the pepperoni, which had a deliciously savory flavor. The customer service at this location is top-notch friendly staff and quick delivery. Jet's Pizza is now my go-to for pizza. Highly recommend!“

“Oh My Gosh. went today and ordered a Meatball Sub and the Paremesan Chicken Cutlet Sub. Bought some of their lasagna and tomato basil soup. Took a bite of the Lasagna. Yummy. I was a big Ventimiglia fan, but this will be now my go to place. Wanted to get more from their prepared foods but fridge was down. Will be back again tomorrow. Definitely over 5 stars .“

“On 12/27/22 my husband and I hosted a dinner for 18 to celebrate the marriage of my daughter and fiance. Everything was superb. Our server, Cindy, did a remarkable job. Couldn't have asked for anything more. The food was excellent, as well as the Sambucca.“

“I’ve always wanted to try food from Verona Inspired Italian! I regularly check out their weekly specials on Facebook and couldn’t wait to finally try them out. This was my first visit to the restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious and amazing. We started with the bread and butter- yes, we actually started there because it was that good. We even asked for another basket! Then came the Eggplant Tower, and wow - it was fantastic. I’m a big fan of eggplant, and this dish was perfection: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and pickled onion. You really need to try it to understand how good it is. For the weekly special, we had the Emperor Red Snapper. Absolutely incredible. The Tomahawk Pork Chop and the steak were both delicious as well. Our cocktails and beer were spot-on. Service? 5 stars. Thank you Joy M. The menu has so many tempting options, and we definitely want to come back and try more. P.S. That bread? We took another portion home. So good.“

“First time there. The food was very good and Sue our waitress was awesome. We will definitely be back!“

“First time visiting, was in the area for a doctor's appointment and it sounded yummy. I ordered a Build Your Own Pizza, a variation of a BBQ Chicken Pizza. Was ready when I arrived & it was DELICIOUS! Beautifully done.“

“The staff is very good. Friendly fast and accurate. The owners are Theo Deanna and Paul. They are there to help you get the most amazing dinning experience. If ever you need something to supplement your meal just let the waitress know and you will be amazed by the service.“

“TL;DR: good value, killer garlic bread, great salad & worth a stop.
Overall, you get a lot of bang for your buck here…$25 got us a large pizza, a salad, and a good sized bread with garlic sauce. I liked the pizza! Crust was solid, pepperoni was good, nothing too crazy but on the nail for what we needed. The bread and garlic sauce were my fav,no question about that. Wouldn’t say it’s my go-to Friday night spot, but I’d come back once a month or so. Solid find. Staff was friendly & quick!“

“We had dinner there yesterday I was with my brother and niece we had Veal Siciliano and Shrimp and Chicken Marsala it was delicious I would recommend this place to anyone“

“A wonderful restaurant that we have been enjoying for 8+ years now. We live a bit up north so don’t have the chance to visit as often as we’d like… The atmosphere is Top Notch. Very relaxing, great mood lighting and the decorations are great to take in. We’ve never been disappointed with our food or our service. The manager is a warm and friendly fellow and all the staff are quick to help or offer assistance. Derek the Bar tender did a great job of attending to us and make sure we were comfortable. If you’re in a “rush” this may not be the best place to stop in. The wait for a great meal is not bad at all, but you won’t get fast food or Coney Island fast… and the quality food is way above. I highly recommend stepping out and giving this place a try!“

“The atmosphere and service was better than the food.
It was dimly lit,brelatively quiet. Server was attentive and gave us our space and asked us to let him know when we wanted him to come around, but he did still check in.
The soup was the best part. The chicken in the chicken Parm was super thin and over cooked and the pasta was nothing to write home about, I would bet Big Boy serves better spaghetti. The calamari was a little over cooked and in ring form, which was a little disappointing. The bread sticks seemed like they were from a package.“

“Great food. Terrible service for a party of 14 midday on a Thursday.“

“Italian Margaritas were delicious, our server named Nick was great and doesn't everyone love the endless pasta dishes. We thought sure we we'd eat at least part of another one while we were there but the first plate was so filling that we asked to take them home. Someone mentioned something about not being the same size when you take them home but I put my angel hair with alfredo and Italian sausage into a large bowl the next day and I had more than enough to eat. I swear it was the same size as the night before. And amazing tasty!!“

“Never a disappointment! Have been going there since they opened! ❤️❤️“

“I have tried dang near half the menu and love it all. the cannoli is hands down the best I've ever had. Everyone I've encountered there has been nice and helpful. Highly recommend stopping in to this place!“

“I miss the city chicken on Thursday I was a crossing guard for Clintondale schools and that was our hangout on payday. Now I live in the UP. I hope to stop by the next time I come home“

“Fabulous atmosphere, amazing authentic food, large portions, 5 star, extraordinary staff! Highly recommend this experience! Will definitely return! Thank ya'll for a wonderful evening 💕“

“First, let me say that if you have not been to Gnocchi Italian, you absolutely MUST GO! This place is amazing. A 10 out of 10! I've been to Italy several times, and Gnocchi Italian serves the absolute best gnocchi that I have ever tasted — even better than 80% of the restaurants in Rome. Everything is made from scratch; the gnocchi is made from ricotta, giving it an incredibly creamy and rich flavor. There are 45 varieties of gnocchi! I had the seafood gnocchi (scallops and jumbo shrimp in lobster sauce served over gnocchi). My companion ordered a breast of chicken over gnocchi smothered in alfredo sauce and topped with Muenster cheese. The proprietor, Chef Jeff, has run this place 8 years, and he is incredibly talented. Of course, they do serve other traditional Italian dishes besides gnocchi. They're all wonderful, from the spaghetti to the lasagna to the meatballs to the veal — everything is done to perfection. The portions are generous. Also, they have excellent red wines which are moderately priced. We ordered a bottle of Merlot. Finally, you will be amazed at their special house creamy garlic salad dressing, and.... the most delicious cream of wild mushroom soup I have ever tasted! If you see it on the menu you must order it, it was out-of-this-world delicious. Our thanks to Chef Jeff, for treating us to an amazing dining experience. You bet we will be back very soon!“

“An exceptional experience from the first bite to the final espresso corto. The wood oven–grilled shrimp, calamari, and octopus were a masterclass in technique—smoky, tender, and expertly seasoned to let the natural flavors shine. The fried polenta with mushrooms added a rustic yet refined touch, rich in texture and umami depth. Every element of the meal was thoughtfully prepared, balancing simplicity with sophistication. Service was swift, professional, and seamlessly attentive. A truly memorable culinary journey—highly recommended for discerning palates.“

“Canceled a reservation at a different restaurant to dine here for my birthday. Did not realize it was a “show” night. When I asked the hostess if it would be a problem that we had 5 in our group instead of 4, I was a little shocked when she said actually yes it was. She checked in with who I assume was her manager who was facing me, so when the hostess told her we wanted to add one more, the look on her face said it all. You would have thought I asked to accommodate 20 people instead of four. They were able to seat us, and the dining room was packed because it was a show night. Every time someone came to our table they made sure to mention that we had 5 instead of 4. It was getting comical! Within a half hour the show was starting and the dining room cleared out. I'm certain that we were the only group left in the entire restaurant. We had already received appetizers but realized our waitress completely disappeared. The entire dining room was turned over- cleaned, reset with clean tablecloths, plates, napkins, cutlery and glasses. Meanwhile, our water glasses were bone dry and we all started to think our waitress went home for the night! We finally asked for her and she showed back up- bringing our soups and salads finally. When she brought the dinner plates she AGAIN mentioned our group of “5 instead of 4.” Like ok we get it!! Usually they have a nice ambiance of music, but because it was “ Bob Seger” tribute night, they had his top 5 songs playing on repeat for the whole night. We were right under a speaker so that was a little annoying, but understandable I guess. I think they could have turned the music volume down since the room had cleared out but that's just my personal preference. One last time when she brought the bill, she mentioned our larger group but thankfully she did point out that gratuity had already been added to the check because it was show night. Had she not pointed it out way may not have noticed. All in all great food but wow! The attitude!“

“My Dad is currently in the hospital battling sepsis. We’ve had a difficult time getting him to eat. He asked for lamb chops, so my husband searched until he found Filippa’s. After hearing our story, they made his lamb chops special for him before they were technically even open. Outstanding customer service, and delicious food! We cannot thank them enough ☺️“

“Amazing food! Cool owner who is proud of his food …. And should be!! Best Italian around!“

“If you want real authentic Italian food; subs, pasta, salads, deserts, and much more, you need to go here. "It's in there and it's very good." Christopher Okano AKA Dr. O , Bay City, Michigan.“

“Had a very good meal . The waitress was very friendly service was great“

“The atmosphere was very nice.The owner was superb. The pizza lacked flavor. Every friday, my son and I eat vegetarian pizza. It needed some spices in the sauce. I love the fact that he put a little container of black olives in the pizza for me. thoughtfulness goes a long way.“

“Best pizza in the macomb county.“

“Tried out this new pizza place near us! The owner was super nice and welcoming. He offered some recommendations and explained the specials. We ordered the Super Rome pizza, the garlic sticks and mozzarella sticks. Wow! The food was fantastic! Everything was fresh and delicious. You can tell they take pride in their food. Amazing quality and taste. Support this business and give them a try!!!! You won't be disappointed. We will definitely be back often!“

“Great food and atmosphere! Service great“

“So Clean! New owners, GREAT FOOD!!!“

“This is some of the best pizza I've ever had and their Burek is outstanding! I love thin crust. Pizza and theirs is the best. Not soggy on the bottom, stays nice and dry and crispy. Perfect amount of toppings and the sauce is not spicy. Flavorful and delicious every time we've had it. If you want something really amazing try their Burek. We've had beef and I'm going to try the cheese one today. Their termisu is top notch as well. We will keep coming back over and over again 😀“

“😋This was the first time that I have eaten at River Rat. The food was sooo delicious!! My husband Larry and I had the Chicken Breast Montreal, I had coleslaw, and Chicken Noodle soup, and he had mashed potatoes, and green beans with his. His brother Mike, had the baked Walleye. The rolls were sooo yummy!! Many thanks to our waitress Tayler! She was so nice, and kind, and onpoint!! I give this rating a 5 Star!! We shall be back!“

“The A1 bomber is my favorite! Great local spot“

“Excellent , excellent service and food! We had a last minute school charity event for 40 people. The staff at Buscemis quickly made a beautiful 6 foot sub and a party size pizza that they even offered to cut into smaller pieces to feed my party. It was nothing but fresh and great quality food for a reasonable cost. I will definitely be ordering from them again. It was a hit at my party.“

“The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding.“

“Coming from New York and the home of pizza, I will say Jet's Pizza is a delicious Detroit twist on pizza. The cheese is great. The sauce is great, and the crust is outstanding. Everything that a Detroit deep dish should be. Only criticism to add would be, put some cup and char pepperoni on that.“
