I always get their white pie! Sometimes I'll add pepperoni. The spaghetti is also delicious. Great salads. Amazing tomato soup. I don't like the seasonings in the meatballs or cheese bread, but every other thing I've eaten there is delicious. The venue is always really loud and chatty - sound carries and seating is relatively close. Staff is always kind and attentive. read more

I had really high hopes for this place but was unfortunately let down. I feel as though the food is mid at best for the price. I will say that the customer service is on point! read more

We love Crispelli's! Have been big fans since the original opened in Berkley & attended a rehearsal dinner early on. When we lived in Grosse Pointe we were elated & were delighted each time we ate there. Recently we loved to Clarkston & had to immediately try this location. Bene!! Try the white with garlic cloves & artichoke. Mama Mia, that's a pizza pie! read more

The pizza is amazing! I'm so happy they finally have the same desserts as the Royal Oak location. There is nothing like the chocolate mousse! Tonight we got a large build our own pizza (extra light on the cheese) with pepperoni, crumbled sausage (much better than the slices sausage), roasted onions and mushrooms. My hubby had an ice cold beer and I had a warm coffee. The service was excellent tonight, it normally is excellent! The restaurant wasn't very crowded and it was unusually quiet. read more

Great service, wood oven pizza, my husband said the new burger is great. Love the bread and salads.

If someone asks, "what's the best place to get pizza in Clarkston?" And you don't say Crispelli's, you're wrong. Fantastic food other than pizza as well. But they're pizza, is the very best. Never had an experience less than fantastic. read more

This place was packed on a Thursday! Had a 20 minute wait ( 6:30) They offer booth seating, table top, long tables and a bar. I didn't see a patio. Service was prompt and friendly. The softer lighting and old world picture decor was fun. Shared a small Margherita pizza. The cheese on it was so delicious! Had a crispy crust and could easily be split between two people who aren't starving. Had a serving of two Bosco sticks too. read more

had a craving for a sit-down, hot-out-of-the-oven thin-crust pizza, so we stopped by on a Saturday around 6 p.m. The restaurant was about half full, and we were greeted warmly and seated quickly. The space is nice and clean, with high-top tables seeming to offer the best experience. Service was just okay. Our server was kind but lacked engagement--he didn't offer suggestions and seemed like he wasn't particularly enthusiastic. We started with Bosco sticks, which were unfortunately undercooked and very doughy. However, the pizza made up for it. We each had an 11-inch with custom toppings, and it came out piping hot with a perfect crisp on the bottom and great flavor. Dave Portnoy gave one of Crispelli's locations a 7.1, and for the Clarkston area, I'd say it's the best option for dine-in thin and crispy pizza. read more

The pizza is really good here. I am a bit of a pizza snob. The crust was good and held up nicely to the toppings. Will be visiting again soon. read more

The gluten free pizza here is always delicious. I love the options. Even if the crust is a little more crunchy than I normally prefer, it has great flavor!! read more

I come to Crispelli's always for their thin crust Pizza and salads both of which are very good. This restaurant specializes in the use of a large stone fired oven that cooks their pizzas at very high temperature (700 degrees F) that produces thin crust pizza's with a beautiful chewy crust that is nicely browned on the underside with hot melted cheese and perfectly cooked toppings on the top and the signature slightly charred crust typical of this type of oven which I truly do love. Relative to their pizza's, there are numerous "Gourmet" pizza's to choose from on their menu along with made to order pizza's. Common denominator with all the pizza's is their use of fresh ingredients where my Pepperoni Margherita had tomato sauce, fresh Mozzarella, basil, extra virgin olive oil and of course pepperoni. The Crispelli salad I ordered, which is one of their 5 signature salads, had fresh ingredients to include house blended lettuce, garbanzo beans, cucumber, carrot, tomato, black olive, parmesan cheese all lightly topped with a red wine vinaigrette. Very tasty. Overall one of the better pizza restaurants in the area and one that needs to be experienced to be appreciated, especially if you are a thin crust fan as I am. read more

Great pizza. Truly tasty and worth a stop in. I had carry out but the dine in looked nice.

Super disappointed in this Crispelli's location. We've been to the other locations many times and always had great food but this was not the case at the Clarkson location. To begin the hostess seemed very confused. We asked for a high chair and she never brought it, we had to go get it ourselves. Then she did not bring a children's menu (we had a 2.5 yr old with us) and had to go ask for that. Next we meet our server who never told us her name and who seemed beyind angry. She was super abrasive with us and the table next to us from the start, not sure if it was because we were the 2 tables who had kids in her section but man she was not friendly. After placing our orders we had to flag her down because we never got a drink for the little one. The kids food came out about 15 mins before the rest of the food normal they ask if you want it that way, not assume. The food was just ok. The gluten free pizza was the worst I've had in a long time, so in the future I will stick with a salad and gf sandwich. We were charged $2.25 for tiny cups of ranch which we were not warned about and seem insane. I can buy a bottle of hidden valley for that. Our server never asked us how the food was and seemed very eager to get us to leave. I am really not sure what her problem was but she made for an uncomfortable dinner. read more

Not sure what was going on, but their service tonight was downright awful and even the food which is normally amazing seemed maybe a little "off". Ordered clam chowder, never received and told when we asked that they were out. Server NEVER checked in after we placed our order. We had to chase her down to get our bill. read more

We get the same thing every time. White pizza pie with whole garlic cloves & WILD MUSHROOMS. The wood fired pizza oven can both be seen and smelled. We also get the Michigan salad. Always ask for less beacon crumbs and more lettuce. The salad toppings are very generous. The ambiance is better than the Berkley one on Woodward. Nice decor with both table and bench seating. The service has always been great. The drinks are pretty good too. read more

I love this Italian pizza place. Its a super clean and well staffed restaurant and a excellent atmosphere for superb Italian food. We got a Pepperoni and basil deep dish pizza with epi bread and Minestrone soup. Everything is five stars at this restaurant. Lots of flavor and veggies in the soup. It's one of the best Minestrone soups i have ever had. Definitely will be back to try different foods. read more

Pros: Pizza Chicken parm Bread Cons: none really 4 years I've been living in Clarkston and I'm so bummed this is my first time having Crispellis. We had a cheese pizza and added minced garlic to it. It was killer. Nice, airy, light, and packed with flavor. The same can be said for the fresh bread. The chicken parm was one big thin breast over a bed of spaghetti. Chicken was awesome and pasta nice and starchy. Marinara sauce was pretty pedestrian though. I really look forward to coming back and exploring the menu more. If you're looking for pizza in the area this is easily your best bet! read more

We have been customers and fans of the West Bloomfield location for years and were very eager to try this location. It was fantastic. While I am not sure if they changed how the WB business is run, but over there you pay first then take a seat and the food is brought out to you minus the bar items. Here, like a traditional sit-down meal, they seat you and a server takes your order. We tried about of their cocktails. The PBJ martini was delightful and tasted exactly as advertised. Chilled and flavorful, like a sandwich in drink form. I also got the spiced Sangria on recommendation of the server. I was quite disappointed in that one. It was Cab forward with no taste of the spice, cranberry or brandy. Honestly, I decided not to complain so I just drank it. I would not get it again, but the drink prices were very good. We also tried a Bells Kalamazoo stout in the bottle, which was good. Nice variety of drinks. The entire menu is very enticing, but we went with our old standby, a Detroit style pizza with roasted garlic and chicken and a round with spinach. Both tasted so good, the quality and taste are there at this location, we were very impressed. I also prefer having a server at an establishment like this, it makes it easier if you want more drinks, dessert, or the ability to order more without getting back in line. I do not know if the other locations still have the gelato, but I would love to see them add that and some more of their bakery items. I have been to the Royal Oak bakery and their stuff is top notch. It would be marvelous to not have to drive out there and get it closer to home. I definitely want to add this place to our dinner rotation. read more

this is a nice little authentic italian joint down the road from us. went here for a last minute dinner with two of my kiddos. quick to be sat, but a little slow on service. i could tell the manager (maybe owner) was on alert with all the going's on of the restaurant, and i appreciated that. there was a lot of good cheesy flavorings throughout the entire meal, but maybe too much cheese (did i say that??!!). kudos to the manager. cute little place. check it out read more

I had the prosciutto pizza. I couldn't put my finger on it what was missing until I read the menu description properly, there was no tomato sauce. My fault. I glanced at menu and ordered. I'm no expert but it needs a tomato sauce. The result is really quite bland. There are a couple pizzas on their menu without. mine is just an opinion read more

This location has come a long way since it opened up. I still think it lags the Woodward location but it is gaining. It's now better than the Big Beaver location which wasn't the case a few months ago. The pizza is now more consistent and orders are as expected for carryout. read more

Fantastic atmosphere, excellent food, A+ location, and just a warm environment that we really love. Service is always very good.

Crispellis bread is delicious and the options are numerous. The baked goods, especially the tiramisu is delicious. Today I chose their individual quiche and it was such a perfect afternoon treat. I had the mushroom and leek but the others are equally as good with burst of flavor. The iced coffee with hazelnut flavoring was smooth and an excellent pairing with the quiche read more

LeRoy: I shared everything with Katie as well. We started with the bread basket. Both types of bread were good, the one yeast bread was the best with butter on it. We got a deep dish Detroit style (Jets style) pizza. Very good! I had the privilege of tasting the chicken club. One bite and it was out of sight. We had a really good meal-everything we tasted was excellent. Our server, Jermaine, was good as well. Katie: We shared a few different things, but my favorite was the chicken club. The basil pesto mayo was the perfect addition to compliment all the ingredients. Each piece of bread I tried was a party in my mouth. I will definitely be back! Caitlin: Sadly missed this restaurant, so we will have to come back to try it with her! read more

We arrived on a Friyay night around 5:15 and the place was already packed. I had a few martinis of the same kind and they all came out different. The food was prepared in a reasonable amount of time and it was delicious! I'll definitely return to try something else. The service was pretty slow but at least friendly. We had issues with drinks being inconsistent, multiple people multiple drinks. Not sure if they just need more training or what. The bartenders were attentive while we waited for our table.

Great pizza is thin on the the ground in Michigan and thin crust pizza is ever thinner on the ground. But slowly the standard conveyor belt birthday party fare is getting real pizza competition. Crispellis on Main St. and 24 In Clarkston is the latest iteration of the Crispellis chain. Now I'm usually chain phobic when it comes to pizza as the usual MO is a cheese and bread bomb served by the ton usually suitable for kids birthday parties. But this is no chain pizza. Crispellis is great pizza, in a great space with great help. The dining room is bright and open, oddly devoid of customers on a sunny lunchtime Michigan Tuesday. Our server was super attentive and our orders were taken and ready very quickly. The bar looked inviting although we didn't partake today. Save that for another review. Now the pizza. My guest had the wild mushroom that got high marks, loaded with shrooms and garlic! I had my standard sausage and onion which was super. Both pies were thin and crispy and cooked nicely. The menu had a nice selection of other dishes that will demand more visits. All in all a great pizza experience that holds it's own against even East coast pies! Crispellis in Clarkston, mama mia! Go! read more

Quite disappointed in our food. The Caesar salad's were particularly off. The lettuce was wilted and the dressing was watery a bit of a sour, almost spoiled tinge to it. The chicken parmesan was average at best, and tasted like something you may get at everyone's favorite chain Italian restaurant. The chicken was dry and the sauce lacked favor. The bosco sticks were ok, unremarkable, but fine. The PROSCIUTTO Pizza left much to be desired. The large chunks of garlic overpowered the rest of the ingredients. "Average," is about the nicest thing I can say about it. Though this experience at Crispelli's put a bad taste in our mouths (LITERALLY), I do hope to give them another shot in the future. And when that day comes, we can only hope that my next review will be a great story of redemption. read more
