    The reg round pie slice. Very good
    Crazy Bernie S.

    Today was the day I walked in before 11am. A few minutes before they opened and Gavin was making the pies for slice sales. I had one thing on my mind since I heard about this place making Detroit style pies. I ordered a large Detroit cheese. I only ate one slice before buying a slice of round cheese to help me make a fair review. Both styles were great. With Annessos right down the street where the best pizza in Fresno is made IMO this could have been a rough score. I've eaten more pizza in my 66 years than Dave Portnoy and I lived the first 19 years of my life in northern NJ. That said 99 Craft has a very unique and delicious Detroit style pie. The puffy yet crisp crust is outstanding. The sauce they ladle over the top was so good I almost chewed my fingers off. I believe the thick crust is par baked and finished in the oven after you order. Either way I believe the Detroit style pies they churn out at 99 Craft are absolutely in the conversation of the best pizza in Fresno. I may be a retired furniture business veteran but pizza is my passion and 99 Craft is the kind of business that gets me excited. Order this pizza every chance you get. The owners name is Steve (I think) and he deserves to be successful at this daring endeavor in a town with hundreds of pizza choices. Crazy Bernie is a huge fan.

    Pinnacles PBR

    First time to try this place and I ordered the most popular pizza called Pinnacles PBR Detroit style. $22.75. I ordered for pick up and couldn't resist to have a slice before leaving the restaurant. I ended up eating there cuz it was too good to wait. I will definitely come back.

    I love this pizza and the first time I got it the same style and size it look bigger than this one this time. So I measure it to make sure. The description says 8 by 10 and this one it's a little bit too smaller. Maybe they didn't use the mold or something. I missed a little chunk. I love this pizza so a little missing it's a big loss for me. The flavor it's there and I really would like to keep on coming but please make it the right size next time. Thank you for making great pizzas. Staff it's very helpful and nice. I opened the box until I got home and didn't want to go back since I live on the other side of town.

    Awesome pizza and wonderful staff! I was introduced to Detroit Style Pizza when I was living in Texas, of all places. LOL. I'm glad to have a place out here. Everything I've tried here has been outstanding. The staff is accommodating the best thing - they offer build your own with other sauce options! It works out perfectly for me since I have a tomato allergy. I also have different options of sauces not just one. I also suggest the garlic knots. They are perfect. Crusty exterior, pillowy interior. Perfect amount of garlic, herbs and other seasonings. The restaurant itself is always clean and easy to get to. They also have a great reward program.

    THE FRESNO HOME OF THE AMAZING DETROIT-STYLE PIZZA!! For two decades, 99 Craft Pizza has been serving some of the finest pizzas and crafted dishes in the area, using quality, locally sourced ingredients and hand-crafted recipes. Their Detroit-style pizzas are among the most popular items on the menu -- and for good reason. Often mistaken for Chicago's round, deep-dish pizza, Detroit-style pizza is its own delicious creation. It is baked in a rectangular steel pan, featuring a thick but airy crust with a chewy interior and crispy, caramelized cheese edges. The sauce is layered on top -- sometimes in stripes -- and traditionally uses Wisconsin brick or mozzarella cheese. I first discovered this pizzeria during a Yelp Elite event last month and had the chance to sample several of their signature offerings. The standout was the Pinnacle PBR, which left such an impression that I came back for more. On my return visit, I ordered the Valley Deluxe, available in both Detroit-style (which I chose) and round California-style. It is their take on a classic combination pizza -- topped with pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, basil, and house red sauce. The Valley Deluxe delivered an impressive balance of flavors and textures. The salty pepperoni, spicy sausage, and earthy mushrooms complemented the fresh peppers and fragrant basil beautifully. The crust was golden brown, light and chewy inside, with just the right amount of crisp on the edges. The sauce was rich and layered with savory, sweet, and tangy notes. Each slice looked as good as it tasted -- fresh toppings, generous cheese, and an inviting aroma. Service was friendly and attentive, matching the quality of the food. The restaurant itself is tucked behind major businesses near the corner of West Nees and North Palm Avenues. Though small in size, it is a hidden gem -- one of the few spots in the Central Valley specializing in Detroit-style pizza. Every item, from pizza to garlic bread, is prepared with care and top-notch ingredients. I only wish I had discovered this place sooner. 99 Craft Pizza is a true standout -- delicious, satisfying, and one of the best pizza experiences I have had in quite some time.

    The service was amazing! The woman who was helping us was very nice and energetic! The food came out fresh and quick! The wait was only about 15mins for all 3 items we ordered. When we got there late Saturday night (7:30pm ish) it was pretty empty with only 1 other man inside with us. It was very clean and felt very well put together! The food was excellent! We got the Pinnacle BBR (Detroit style) and the Underground Gardens (cali style) along with the garlic cheese bread. Both pizzas were excellent! The garlic cheesy bread was just alright. It sounded extremely good at the time but it turned out to be much closer to "eh". I'd get it again if I were craving cheese bread, but I would opt to skip it in general. Overall, everything was delicious and the service was fantastic!!

    Pinnacle PBR. Perfection!
    Jason L.

    It's so good to have high-quality craft pizza in Fresno! We got the Pinnacle PBR and Berry Dessert pizza. We had the PBR Detroit style. I'm not sure I've had a better pizza in my life. It was perfect for me. Pepperoni, hot honey, ricotta, fresh basil, cheese, fresh marinara. It was spicy, sweet, chewy, and maybe the best part, the crispy, caramelized cheese edges. It was the perfect pizza.

    The pizza was really tasty overall! I wasn't too impressed by the marinara sauce or the lack of flavor in the Detroit-style crust, but everything else made up for it. The garlic knots were super garlicky in the best way possible, and the California round pizza was my favorite, the mix of sweet and spicy flavors was perfect. I love how creative they are with their toppings; every slice feels like the perfect bite. The only thing that threw me off was the vibe, the restaurant looks more like a grab-and-go or order-by-the-slice spot, but the pizza quality feels more upscale. It's tucked away in a hidden location, but definitely worth checking out. With a bit more of an artisanal vibe, this place could really thrive. John, one of the owners, hosted a Yelp Elite event, but it felt like his staff wasn't fully prepared or welcoming. As Yelp Elites, we're there to support local spots and bring in the foot traffic that helps keep doors open, so enthusiasm goes a long way. I was also put off by John's comments about customer feedback. Yelp exists to help businesses stay accountable and consistent. The experience didn't feel very personal or connected; his story about 99 and Detroit Pizza came across more like a generic business concept than something authentic or rooted in passion.

    Ambiance average & service was mixed (2 ppl, one not great as he seemed annoyed & didn't know about the Yelp Elite event despite it being late afternoon on the second day but other guy was fine). The double pepperoni Detroit was good but also really salty. Would've liked more sauce too. The regular cheese was ok but the crust, as you can see, was pretty dark to outright burned. Not a great representation of the product IMO. Appreciate their participation in the Yelp Elite event tho.

    Location: 99 Craft Pizza Date: September 24, 2025 Service: Take Out For those of you who like to order out or dine in for pizza 99 grab pizza is the place to go.

Check out the pics attached to this review.

    I absolutely Love this place. Location is a kinda tough to find. Food is well pried and excellent! Service is always good by the staff. Restaurant is nice with a few tables to eat there. I got the PBR pinnacles Detroit style. This is my favorite pizza in town now. I highly recommend giving this a try when you're craving pizza!

    Of course, again, I ordered my favorite Detroit style pizza, via DoorDash, the Pinnacle PBR. I shared, therefore my spouse is now a fan. Not surprised to see more patrons dining and waiting for their orders. Our pizza was ready when we arrived, served by friendly staff, and the dining area was clean and tidy. Plans to return soon.

    Classic new York margarita
    Jim F.

    Fresh, high-quality ingredients paired with a friendly and overqualified staff -- many with backgrounds in top-tier restaurants. This place delivers quality, affordable pizza that actually lives up to the hype. It's the only true New York-style pizza I've found in the area, and the owner is genuinely committed to meeting everyone's taste. Whether you're after that classic thin, crisp New York crust or something heartier like Detroit-style, they've got you covered. They also excel at specialty pies and offer great options for vegetarians. The Underground looked incredible. Don't sleep on this one -- seriously.

    Hi! Do you have a Vegan Cheese option?

    We do! I also make a house made impossible sausage!

    Since they do not sell alcohol, would they allow me to buy a beer next door from Palm Bluff Liquor and enjoy it with their pizza in the restaurant?

    Absolutely!

    Mid. It's been…read moreyears since my last visit and that last visit, I was very generous with my review. Especially since it was a rare occasion of getting great service. That's kind of why I never really cared to come back. Service was not consistent and the place is unbearably loud (yes, I know it's a sports bar)... very hard to have a decent conversation here without shouting. We sat in the bar area, Saturday, which we only went because someone misinformed him over the phone that they would be showing a boxing fight he was interested in... come to find out, they don't show boxing matches. We had already ordered our food/drinks before we found out so it was too late to go elsewhere. It was packed in there but there were two available tables for us to choose from and they did clean it off for us fairly quickly so we did appreciate that. Our guy got our drink orders right away, received it not too long after. Took a while before he got our food orders and even longer for the food to come out. Once the food did come out, he asked if we needed anything else, my man asked for another beer... apparently he didn't remember asking because he came back probably 15-20mins later asking if we needed anything else. My bf has more patience than me because he just told him another beer again only to wait probably another 10-15 minutes or so before finally getting it. Our wings were good... never had a problem with their wings. We got the Jammin' Jalapeños. The nachos... meh. Looks nice-ish upon receiving but there's really nothing to these Nachos and that was disappointing. A bunch of chips with only toppings/cheese/cream on the top layer. I should've taken a picture of what we didn't finish-- which was a lot. Either their quality went down or my taste just got more advanced. Oh, and my margarita was by far one of my least favorites I've had in a very long while... watered down, not much flavor (for a Strawberry marg), and just didn't taste like a margarita. I've had my fair share of margs, I'm very qualified to judge. Anyway, if it weren't for their wings-- I'd probably never think to come back... I'd be good with settling for getting them to go. If anything, I'd only go for a social gathering but even then-- there are better options. K, bye.

    Walked in and took a long time to get helped. I was just there to pick up and order. Tried the…read moresweet bbq wings and they were kinda gross. I would like to try other things but I also don't want to waste the money if they aren't. It was also overly loud inside.

First of all just know that a calm sit down atmosphere isn't this place, it is absolutely a take out, take home restaurant. That being said the gal who took my order was very helpful and suggested the best pizza's for what I described I wanted. The service was spot on and yes, she was correct. Now for the pizzas!! I got an all meat Chicago, Detroit combo and a Hawaiian. The Chicago stole the show with plenty of meat, a heavy cheese and the topping of sauce was perfect. The sauce wasn't too sweet and seemed like fresh tomatoes, not the fake sugary sauce that you might buy in bulk. I love a good sauce but I am not a tomato lover so this was surprising. The other pizzas were just as good but we need to talk about the dough. The dough was almost perfect with a crisp bite, but not dry or rubbery. Again, not too sweet either but seemed to carry the weight of the toppings well and didn't cave in. Overall I would put Hot Rod Willy's Pizza at about a solid 8 for the entire experience. The cost was reasonable and I would definitely travel from Merced to Fresno again to snag a few pizzas. I would encourage the owner to take a look at Merced if he chooses to expand!
