“We order Carlo’s for dinner often! Almost weekly! We had our son’s birthday this last week and we ordered 2 party trays of pizza, 75 wings & a large catered size Cesar salad. We originally hoped for the pizza to be thin crust as that’s what we usually always ordered but were informed that the party size only comes in deep dish, but we were ok to give it a try. None the less, everything was amazing! Fresh & hot! We always order wings & knew those would be a hit. There were a lot of compliments on the salad! Also a first try for me and will definitely be apart of our future orders! We also just might be rotating out a deep dish pizza and thin crust from now on. Carlo’s exceeded our expectations and we are so glad we chose them. Definitely recommend for large events & or just a regular pizza night for dinner 😊“

“The chicken piccante is the absolute best!!! Amazing food, as always!“

“It use to be be a favorite restaurant. After the renovations it has changed. I am stating from a top notch restaurant now everything has changed. Quality, wait staff, noise level. Everything was wrong when we went there. I know they have to factor cost and profit and this is what was best. Not for us, won’t be back“

“Great food and drinks! the atmosphere is warm and welcoming... I had dinner last night and absolutely loved my server Jamie... What a great and fun personality he is... We'll definitely be back soon.“

“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“

“My parents have said for some time that this pizza was the best in the area, and I finally got to try it today. They were right! We had their round supreme and square Hawaiian with a side or marinara and ranch. The sauce on this is pizza is perfect - very fresh flavor but not too acidic. Generous on the toppings, quality mozzarella, and the bread is some of the best I’ve had. Do yourself a favor and stop by Little Italy!“

“Hands down, the best Italian beef sandwhich I’ve ever had. The beef was super tender and flavorful, the peppers and onions were cooked perfectly. I asked for them to dip the sandwhich in the auju and the bun held up perfectly. If I could give more stars, I would, this place is incredible.“

“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.“

“My wife said the salad and Lasagna were exceptional. My Pork Chop was well prepared and tasty. However, the garlic mashed potatoes were terrible. Tasted like instant potatoes and watery. Wondering what went wrong.“

“Today was our first visit with the family. After leaving Anton Art Center, we found this Gem! Across the street from the Firehouse. Everyone loved their meal, large portions and very good food. we will be back, absolutely 💯“

“Great atmosphere every time we come in. You’re always greeted with a friendly face, which makes the experience even better. I’ve been coming here for about seven years now and the quality of the food has always been consistent. The ownership is great, the staff are welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.“

“Brian, the owner, is an absolute lifesaver! My girlfriend and I ran out of gas and Brian was kind enough to pull over and help make sure that we got gas and were safe. We cannot wait to check out his restaurant in the near future! Thank you again for helping us!“

“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.“

“We went on a Sunday. Reservations are recommended. We ordered beggars purses, kale salad, beet salad, grilled calamari, pesto and seafood pasta with salmon. Tiramisu, a couple of cocktails and coffee. The kale salad was tough. The bet salad was very good. We didn't care for the seafood pasta with lobster and shrimp. The grilled calamari was ok. Not everyone liked that either. The tiramisu was excellent. If you walk back to the restrooms the floor is extremely slippery from the kitchen area. The bill with to worked out to 100.00 pp.“

“The folks that run this location are nothing but nice, a whole bunch of nice. They have made an effort to make our food after kitchen has shut down, offered discount cards. Very friendly & warming party store. Love the subs guys, keep up the good work.“

“Our favorite neighborhood bistro“

“Stopped in for lunch. Being a conisseaur of French onion soup, of course I ordered it. Hands down one of the BEST I have had! my mom ordered the lemon chicken and I ordered Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. Both were excellent dishes and packed with home made flavor. I will for sure be going back to try more dishes and for more French onion!!“

“The pizza was delicious but this time I ordered an Italian sub which was delicious!I also ordered the muffaletta which should not be called muffaletta since there is no olive tapenade in there the most important ingredient to the muffaletta. I opened it up and to my surprise no olive tapenade.“

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

“Went to Olive Garden for dinner on a saturday night. Food was delicious, fresh and served hot. We got the Zuppa Toscana soup, I got the Chicken Scampi, and my girlfriend got Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara.

“Cottage Inn Pizza in Grosse Pointe Woods is hands-down one of the best pizza spots in the area. From the very first bite, it’s clear this place takes pizza seriously. The crust is perfectly baked, the sauce is flavorful without being overpowering, and the toppings are always fresh and generously portioned. Every pizza comes out hot, consistent, and absolutely delicious.

What really sets this location apart, though, is John and Romi. You can tell they truly care about the quality of the food and the experience of every customer. Their attention to detail and passion for making great pizza shows in every order. They don’t just make pizza—they make the best pizza in Grosse Pointe, by far.

Whether you’re ordering for carryout, delivery, or feeding a crowd, Cottage Inn Pizza Grosse Pointe Woods never disappoints. If you’re looking for amazing pizza, friendly service, and a place that consistently gets it right, this is the go-to spot. Highly recommended for anyone craving top-tier pizza in Grosse Pointe Woods. 🍕🔥“

In fact, they let us use the second table for our pizza and the table we were sitting at for the pizzas that were we’re gonna eat on that table. I could recommend this place even more. Way more better than jets and all those other pizza places. 10/10 would recommend anyone.“

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!“

“First time at Milestone Grill with my sister, and i recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants excellent delicious food!! As we both had the Spinach Artichoke Dip for appetizer then ordered the fantastic Grilled Chicken Salad, and the scrumptious French Onion Soup! We both will definitely go back to enjoy more of the many items on their large menu! Service was fast and very courteous! One of our new favorite restaurants! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great pizza, great people, great service. Nono's pizza is a little bit different than most other pizza places; the pizza is more subtle and soothing. It's not a flavorbomb going to explode in your mouth, it's a steady, relaxed, pleasant trickle of flavor, and that's a good thing. It's a refreshing change of pace. My theory is Nono's relies less on salt and sugar additives, which brings the natural flavors more to the forefront. After enjoying some of Nono's pizza, I feel more calm and relaxed than anything. Would recommend.“

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

“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.“

“Great pizza and salad. Been eating Buddy’s Pizza for 50 years and always satisfies!“

“Love Jet’s! It’s one of our top go-to pizza places. Food is hardly ever wrong, always hot, cooked great, and fast service. The only thing that needs improvement is the parking lot - quite a few potholes and it’s hard to see the lines but that’s more of a complaint for the property owner.“

“very satisfied with my order from 6/14, delivery came quickly and the pie was phenomenal quality. delivery driver was very polite and even complimented my car's, absolutely made my day. would have left a larger tip if I had the cash on me“
