- AAAngela AllemangNov 12, 20205.0Detroit style pizza was out of this world delicious, and we looked upon the plates of fellow customers who ordered various hearty sandwiches and crispy hot fries with much envy at the same time. The service was good! If I could 4.5 stars I would knock off a little bit for a few minor things: the poor acoustics in the dining area, which appears to be a renovated green house, with too much of an echo amplified by the fountain of beer, the brightly colored plastic furniture was a bit of an eye sore, and the caramelized onions on the pizza were too salty. Finally as a slight negative, we ordered our pizza with half pepperoni and half onion but we were charged full price for both ingredients. I suppose they could have doubled up with ingredients on each half if that was how they needed to charge. With all that said we were quite happy and look forward to coming back.
