“Amazing food and even better atmosphere. I've been there twice and plan on going over and over again. The staff are very helpful and nice. My daughter would eat there every night if I'd let her 😅.“

“Very amazing food. The staff was very nice, helpful, and welcoming. When we tried their steak it was very good and sweet. The Pajeon was very good with delicious octopus, everything was just amazing. Amazing atmosphere! I cannot wait to come back and witness this experience again, and one of my favorite Korean bbq places. Ten out of 10. Komasomeda Chung Ki Wa!“

“I was hard-core craving Mac and Cheese Pizza only to find that nobody makes it anymore....and then I found Pizzianos. I had people recommend them before but hadn't made it over there...but now I had to! The food...omg! Delicious. I dont even have words to describe the cinnamon bread. Perfection. And on top of the food being amazing, the customer service....superb! The gentleman i interacted with was beyond friendly and informative and I am now sold as a regular customer!“

“First time here. Tried the Chicago style. Heavy! The sauce and cheese are very good. Sauce is very robust & tomatoey and the cheese blend is more flavorful than most places. The inside is small, typical of a pizza joint. Couple of chairs and tables adequate while you wait.“

“My kids loved the Korean corn dogs! Def will be back. Sad you were out of the honey butter fries today cause those are incredible but still had a great lunch!“

“I had an experience where my steak was not cooked medium well and the situation was not rectified at the moment. Mark (the manager) called my cellphone and offered a voucher to make things right. I appreciate the extra effort!“

“Amazing food and never disappointed! They rock!“

“If I could give this 100000 stars I would. My husband and I tried it for the first time today for our anniversary! The service is amazing! The staff all around were so welcoming and kind! The food was hands down the BEST BBQ we have ever ate! We have tried many BBQ places and this is the best we’ve had! We will definitely be going again! Thanks for a wonderful experience!“

“best barbecue on the east side by far“

“Myneesha is amazing, we can’t wait to have her back. Best food and best service we’ve had here hands down! Jen- Owner, Celestial Farms“

“First time customers (7/12/2025). We needed to find a new BBQ place to satisfy our taste buds since SHEETZ is taking over 12 & Mound. WE FOUND IT. Ordered the Judges' sampler to try their variety. Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Chicken, Baked Beans and Hush Puppies are ALL EXCELLENT. The Coleslaw could have been a bit creamer, but we didn't come here for veggies or salad. Loved their sauces as well. We will definitely be back and bringing friends.“

“Sliced brisket was 80% fat. The cornbread was uncooked. The 1/4 rack contained 3 short end pieces. Not worth $50.“

“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!“

“Great food awesome people“

“Dude's BBQ is sick. He hooks it up with extra sides too. However, it's first come, first serve. So you might be standing in line for 30 minutes with 15 other people, get up there to order and whatever you wanted is sold out. If there's huge line, i don't even bother anymore. It's only open like one day a week now, maybe two if you're lucky lol.“

“Our table ambassadors was DeLois. The Salmon without the Mesquite sauce was succulent. DeLois went the extra (s)mile. I am recommending g her mfmnt training I am the CEO of a tech firm.Our website is www.MIDIGITEL.COM 3136435571“

“If you are craving for good Chinese food in this area, definitely check out Zhangs BBQ! We did take out, and they only accept cash.

Ordered the crispy pork and roasted duck. I would imagine that eating while everything’s hot would be so much better, but the pork was a little dry with skins that weren’t crispy; however, the duck even when cold was delicious. Usually the ducks I’ve had in Chinese BBQ can be very salty, but this one was a good balance of sweet savory combination. It was tender and fatty, and the skin has a good flavor to it too. Definitely would recommend the roasted duck.“

“One of the best Roast Duck, Roast Pig spot here in Madison Heights. I drive from Lansing just to come pick up roast duck or both when I really wants some or when I'm in the area I always stop by.
They also sell other meat there including cuttlefish, pig ears etc. its a small spot only for pick up and go. Price went up like everything else but cheaper then the one in Grand Rapid. I highly recommend. They only take cash.“

“Wont go the extra mile, spent over $200 in aweek , ordered a wing dinner ladt night an was late picking it up, car breaking down even called an told them, got there within the hour to pick up, got home wings were hard and cold!!!! Not real happy now“

“Big thanks to Adam, Brenda Jean, Ely and Molly for making my 55th birthday celebration so fun. Everyone had a great time.“

“OMG!! Just went to wedding that they catered……all I have to say is don’t wait another minute. If you’re looking for delicious BBQ give these guys a try. It was ALL delicious. The meat, the beans, everything!! You will not be disappointed.“

“I dined in for the first time a little over a week ago and loved my Cuban! I was determined to sample something else on their menu tonight and while the hubs was figuring out what he wanted, I started to read the reviews and was a bit shocked with a few of them. I too, have a lot of restaurant work in my background and so I paid extra attention tonight. I'm happy to report that my take out experience this evening has been stellar! My call in was handled well and without issue and was ready when I went to pick it up. I only live 5 min away (if that) and the food was really warm, well packaged and delicious. Portions are generous as far as I'm concerned-these Corktown Fries are enough for two and the they don't skimp on the portions of crisp either. I am really glad I've finally been able to get to this place and I'm sure they're on my 'go-to' list from now on.“

“Our office party was catered by Stonewood & everything was amazing so had to go there myself to pick up a brisket sandwich & chili to see if they were just as good on a daily basis. To my pleasant surprise, they were since it is close by my work, I will DEF be going there on a regular basis!“

“Big Ken's has the best barbecue!“

“I grew up in the neighborhood where this is located. The food is superb, especially the fried chicken. Excellent subs & pizza too. One of my new favorite carry out places

Parking: You must back in for street parking along 9 Mile Rd.“

“First of all, it's been a while since I've been to Happy's Pizza. Previous experiences have made me happy! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and a bright menu that reminded me of all the options I had. I'm interested in tasting the new Asian BBQ pizza! Stay tuned for an update! 😋“

“My pizza for the last 5 years has been excellent. The service is awesome. Delivery is awesome. The people are awesome. They have never failed me just one time, but he corrected it. And I've been extremely happy ever 5 years. I will not buy my pizza nowhere else.. 5 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ 🌠“

“I was visiting a friend in the area for Halloween, & we wanted some food while we watched scary movies. He recommended Papa's Pizza. This was my first time having their food. My friend had a small square meat lover's pizza, & I had a burger, potato wedges, & a pepsi. I ordered online & went to pick it up. My order was ready when I arrived, & the person who handed me my order was friendly. Our food was made correctly, & it was hot & fresh. I would definitely order from this place again when I'm in the area.“

“It's finally time for me to share my exceptional experiences with this location. I typically visit Texas Roadhouse Roseville once every 2-3 weeks, and I exclusively sit at the bar, whether I'm by myself, with my wife, or with friends. The reason is simple: the bar service is outstanding, and their hospitality is simply unmatched. I'd particularly like to recognize two amazing bartenders, Jackie and Nellie. While all the bar staff I've encountered have been excellent, these two are incredible to watch together. Their teamwork and connection while managing both a packed bar and an intense service station is remarkable. They handle everything while maintaining genuine smiles, offering warm greetings, and delivering fantastic service. The bar atmosphere feels just like your favorite local watering hole, where they don't just remember your name, but know exactly what you like to drink. Often, my favorite cocktail is being prepared before I've even taken my seat - that's what I call exceptional service! I witness this same attention to detail with other customers too, as they too are greeted by name. Considering I'm only there every 2-3 weeks, their ability to remember customers' names and drinks sets this restaurant well above any other chain I've visited. This personal touch is typically only found in beloved neighborhood bars. In the 10 months I've been coming here, I've never had a disappointing meal. I've explored various menu options beyond their excellent steaks, and everything arrives with perfect timing, allowing enough time to enjoy appetizers or salad/chili before the main course. If you need anything extra (condiments, cheese, etc.), the attentive bartending staff responds quickly, even heading to the kitchen themselves if necessary. This recognition of the outstanding bar staff is long overdue. After experiencing their wonderful service again this past weekend, I felt compelled to take some time to write. Thank you for consistently providing a dining experience that keeps me coming back!“

“Excellent Flo's 9 oz. filet! Have to say tho, 1st time ever I had fat on a filet! Partner had the ribs. Great! Salad had cukes, tomato, cheese and croutons. Lettuce of course. Sweet potato w/,butter and cinnamon, good. Mac & cheese was OK.“

“Wonderful BBQ ribs Had carrot cake for dessert yum! Our waitress was the best! We will be back soon!“

“Food was in a great price range, also fresh hot chicken!🔥“

“We had lunch there today and Brittany was our server. She was so amazing!! I'm gluten free and she went above and beyond to be sure that not only I had an amazing meal, but also bent over backwards for my wife!!! Our next time there, we will be asking for Brittany!!!“

“Johnson was our server he was great!!“

“This is the best pizza ve found so far. Cooked to perfection, staff was fny and had everything out before they said it would and it was cooked, sauced, and topped perfectly. Thank you for giving me a great pizza. We ate it too fast before I could get a picture. Thank you again“

“The portions are generous, prices are more than fair, and the staff were very friendly and professional. Most importantly, this is the cleanest restaurant and bathroom that I’ve ever been to!!! My family and I will definitely be returning!!!“

“I’m new to the area and ordered pizza and breadsticks from here a couple weeks ago..it was delicious.. Today, I found myself too lazy to cook for myself again and again I put my trust into passport pizza. I was not disappointed. This time I tried the bone in wings. Boy oh boy, when I tell you they were the best carry out wings I have ever had.. I mean it..I was unsure about the mango habanero sauce so it was suggested when I ordered that I get them with the sauce on the side. Well, I ate all of the wings and I still don’t know what the sauce tastes like. They were so good it never even crossed my mind to cover them with anything.. So, if anyone is new to the area (or not) and is unsure of where to order food from.. skip the big pizza chains you’ve been eating and try Passport Pizza in Roseville on 10 mile n Gratiot. You’ll be happy you did.“

“The pizza they serve here are great. I have no problem with the food they serve here. Keep in mind that the other reviews are old, from 2018 and 2015. Don't let these review stop you from trying this place out. Their bbq pizza are to die for and I suggest trying them out. There is one down side to this place though. The price tag. They can be little expensive but I think it still worth it if you going out once while kinda thing. It wouldn't be the kinda deal where I would go every week. It still good food. Give it a try.“
