A great addition to Bayshore. I've been here several times since they opened and the pizza is very good! They have a nice cocktail menu- and the space is causal and fun. Date night appropriate, or just hanging out- it fits the bill. My favorite pizza is the Cadillac and it's even good the next day cold!

Was told to seat ourself when we wandered in. Our waitress was not very friendly, but opened up as we continued to try and have conversation. Needs attention to detail for cleaning. Just seemed sticky, and the windows had food and handprints smeared all over. The firecracker dip is literally pizza sauce with red peppers and goat cheese, it didn't even come with the sourdough that was described on the menu, surprise we received pita bread. Wine was overpriced for a small pour. Pizza was good, but didn't stand out compared to the rest of the experience.

I went with 3 friends. We ordered our food, service was painfully slow considering there was only two other tables during our entire visit. The waitress was okay, but the service was extremely slow- ex/ taking our order, also our drinks took super long to get. We did order more drinks and never got them but it was okay because it was never added to the bill so we didn’t bother asking again.We did think it was very interesting that there was a “events & party” gratuity added to the bill because it was only 4 of us dinning. I’ve seen that added to bills when I’m dinning with 6+ people. I found that interesting, considering it was just 4 total people. We always tip 20% so it did not upset us that the “events & party” was added- so just be cautious when tipping because gratuity might already be included :).Food was good.

Nice looking restaurant. Took forever to get a menu, drinks took forever and the food took even longer. We were there 2 hrs and never asked if we wanted drinks refilled. Had to go to the bar to ask for more water. Most of the food was bland, made incorrect and barely warm. Took 30 minutes to get a Caesar salad after everyone else was served. Pizza was ok. Don't order a Bloody Mary, it was vodka and tomato juice, no seasoning or flavor at all! The music was so loud that we had to yell to speak to each other and the waitress couldn't even hear us as we ordered. Don't plan on returning.

The food was delicious fast serving, A great place to take the family and have fun playing bowling, The drinks were very strong just how I like them and the wine was super good. A big shout out to Jonathan the chef, Daniel, Ceasar & Ricardo they treated us like family!!

The food was awesome. The one thing that bothered me is they sat us right infront of the T.V. playing the movie everything everywhere all at once... which is rated R and my 7 year old wouldn't stop watching the blood/gore/sex while we were trying to eat. Most definitely NOT a family friendly resturant. I would have asked them to change it but the staff was watching it and I didn't want to ruin their good time. Will probably not be back atleast not with my 7 year old.

Excellent Detroit style pizza, attentive service and open space make a fun time. They have several large tables to accommodate larger group. The only issue was music level. If you are near one of several ceiling speakers, it is impossible to carry on a conservation.

My friend and I arrived at backlot with an amazing experience, as soon as we walked in, we were immediately greeted and taken to a clean booth. All the employees I encountered were very nice. Ricardo went above and beyond with making sure we had great experience when dining. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

I absolutely love Detroit style pizza, so I was super excited to try this place. Although, I ended up trying something way different from what I've tried before. I ordered the Uptown and it was outstanding. The crust is some of the best I've ever had. I will be back next time I'm in Bayshore. It is a little pricey. $21 for a pizza that feeds 2-3 people. But it was definitely worth it. I'm excited to try it again.

food, drinks, and wait service were all great. but the atmosphere was pretty much ruined by managers being rude to wait staff in the dining room.
Amazing location especially having the outdoor balcony patio for summer use! Spacious rooms and different areas for dining connected to the bowling alley! Service was good and food was not bad, delicious. Caesar had too much dressing so probably order dressing on the side. Otherwise very nice ambiance!

We've frequented Backlot multiple times for pizza and drinks. The diverse drink menu consistently impresses, with each selection proving fantastic. The Detroit style pizza is a standout, being both saucy and expertly crafted. The restaurant's recent interior makeover is nothing short of fabulous. Opting to sit at the bar, we've consistently experienced excellent service. It's truly exciting to witness a revitalized space making its mark!

We waiting close to 10 minutes for service. Bartender saw us come in but she did not tell the waitress. Finally asked hostess if someone could wait on us. Waitress was very good but bartender had an attitude. Food was also very good. Would think twice about going back.
