I went today with two friends and had a great time overall, if you are in the mood for this type of pizza and delicious comfort food I highly reccomend! However, the service was less than desired, first off booking a reservation online was glitchy and confusing. Both my friend and I separately tried to book a table for our group, it glitched out for her on her phone so she gave up. I used my laptop and was able to make a reso for 3, then when I recieved the email confirmation it said I had reserved for 2 people. I was certain I had selected 3. I called them ahead of time to let them know and hopefully make a modification to the reservation, and they said they would put us on the waitlist to add an extra person...mind you we were a party of 3. So I found that a bit odd but figured it's a small space. When we did show up they were able to accommodate us which was great, but hopefully they can improve their booking system to avoid confusion.
Secondly, they mentioned several times that we had the table for 90 minutes...like as we were sitting down, and when our server came over to take our order. We understood this, and ordered quickly however 50 minutes into our time there, our server reminded us we had 10 minutes left on our reservation... it was awkward because I had to correct her of the time we had sat down at the table? I guess she went away to check the reso, and came back to apologize...but honestly it was really awkward and overall left a bad impression. We had ordered a round of pricey drinks, many food items...and it felt like we were an unwanted guest. It was disappointing. We were also celebrating a friend's birthday, and had we not had a time limit on our stay would have definitely ordered more.
I get that ultimately it is a business, but honestly it just felt like a hustle. Before my time there this evening I was planning to take my husband there and 2 other friends out for another birthday later in December, I don't think the food is worth being treated this way.
UPDATE: they didn't actually cancel the reservation for me, and it's stated on their website that for resos of 2 ppl they still have 90 mins...they were hustling us out at 60mins. Acknowledgement was all I wanted and I would have come back no problem. Classy response guys👍

Always a great time at MaiPai! They constantly switch up the cocktails and have feature Pizzas on the menu!
Hard to say what's best between the drinks, apps and pizza!
Definitely worth a visit!

Second time there in a month and we will be coming back frequently. Last time we had the pleasure of being served by Josh the Bartender who spent some time on the floor. Total legend. We've had a bunch of food there now between our 2 visits and our favourites have been the Pickle Nick Fries and the pepperoni pile on pizza. Oh and the gojugang/buffalo wings. Cocktails are so good and love how unique the ingredients and cups are. The Do You Wanna wasn't bad, but wasn't nearly as much sausage as I was expecting. Maybe it's because we were the last seating of the night and they were running low? Wouldn't get that pizza again based on how it came out but otherwise fabulous experience at Mai Pai.

I've been to the Buddy's Pizza in Detroit, the creator of the Detroit pizza. It became my favorite pizza immediately!! & I find Maipai very comparable. I had the Supreme, my wife had the pickle pizza, & my daughter had the garlic pizza. We were all very happy with our choices & left with some leftovers as well as sore stomachs from eating too much. Oh & the chicken wings are awesome as well. 👍
