Updating my initial review as we've been back over a dozen times (between happy hour, dinner and takeout)! First, happy hour is awesome: 4-5pm + last hour (so 8-9pm Sun-Wed and 9-10pm Thursday thru Saturday). It's half off: draft beers, sangria, starters, house cocktails and wines. Also, I stand by the opinion that DropTop is the BEST Detroit style pizza right now. However, their burgers are also FIRE - that olive burger? YUM! I also am happy to share that the little details from opening - like cold frosty glasses, cold plates for salad, from scratch dressings/sauces, etc. is still on-going which truly makes a difference to the overall experience. Service is always super friendly, helpful. read more

DropTop is one of those small local spots that surprises you with how well developed and thoughtfully run it is. The burgers are easily the standout!! juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The shakes are AMAZING, and the pizza is different and big size, making it great for sharing. The fries are another win: crispy, well‑seasoned, and addictive. The environment is nice and cozy, which adds to the charm, though I do wish they had more tables. That said, they've optimized the experience by offering a separate pickup door, which makes takeout incredibly smooth and efficient... a smart move for a small business. What really elevates DropTop is the staff. They're super friendly, genuinely welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Their recommendations were spot on, and you can tell they care about the food and the customers. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. The burgers were my favorite, but honestly, everything I tried was solid. read more

The Detroit style pizza at Droptop is some of the best I've had. Generous toppings, amazing crust that's not too thick, and a sauce that has just the right amount of spiciness. I had the Super Sport Pizza and it was outstanding. The rest of my family did the BYO pizza options due to gluten and dairy sensitivities and said the crust was the best GF crust they've had, and were stoked to be able to have it Detroit style! We also tried the Motor Oil Wings and they were excellent! Nicely sized wings and a good portion. The sauce was rich and umami just as described on the menu. I loved the dedicated "To Go" area in the alley behind the restaurant, close to the parking lot; not having to go inside the main area to fight through the people (it was crowded the night we ordered), was a big bonus. The staff working the to-go counter was friendly, fast, and helpful. We ordered online and everything was ready exactly at the promised time. We will 100% be back! read more

The only negative is it's a bar. I don't like going to bars. But the food was fabulous. The service was even better and having the owner bring your food out was top-notch no excuses at all we're given when they made a mistake. They just hurried up and fixed it and apologized. read more

We were visiting from Florida and looking for Detroit style pizza so we decided to go here because they had great reviews and it didn't disappoint. The Queen Margherita was amazing!!! Really cool place with great food and great service! read more

Upon arrival we noticed there was 2 hour parallel street parking. We snagged a spot right in front. Be careful exiting your vehicle because it's an extremely busy downtown road with loud, massive semis and dump trucks now that there is a data center nearby. It would be extremely unpleasant to eat on the patio/sidewalk. We were greeted promptly by a friendly employee when we arrived and asked to wait just a moment so they could clear a table. The decor was super cool. The lights hanging above the bar were purple and really neat. The mural along the entire side wall is bright and colorful. The restaurant was clean and tidy despite having just had a rush. The menu had many tasty options. We ordered the Dipsticks with ranch and two Detroit style pizzas: The Skylark and Fries in Pizza. All were delicious. The ranch was drool worthy. When in the area again we will keep DropTop in mind as our overall experience was positive. read more

We wanted to grab some dinner after a game day in Ann Arbor, but we knew the downtown restaurants would be crowded, so we took a little drive to explore Saline and ended up here. The reviews looked fantastic, so we were excited to give it a try. Our server, Trinity, was outstanding. She was friendly and efficient and seemed to be handling the whole place by herself! We started with the Caesar salad, which was excellent, It was difficult to choose from the great variety of pizza options, but we ended up with the Skylark. It had a really unique flavor and was the perfect size for sharing. A great spot in a fun little downtown! read more

So we came in for HH and all the beer and cider taps were not working, but their tap take-overs were working--the problem was that the beer was warm and were not covered under HH price..although it should have been since their whole system was not working. So then I decided to get a HH cocktail under the house cocktail menu-- but the one I wanted was not included in the HH price. We come here quite often-- and it seems like it's always one thing or the other with something! read more

DropTop is the eat-in pizzeria, burger, and shake joint that you never knew that was missing from your life in downtown Saline. Rattling off that menu list, sounds like this place should be featured on DDD - wings, smash burgers, creative pizzas, and shakes! The restaurant itself is a cool graffiti/car vibe that is on the louder side, but not so bad that I won't take my parents. The food is awesome and I recently fell in love with the Super Sport pizza! My child loves the shakes. :) We have both eaten in and gotten take out. Service has been consistently good. I am loving DropTop more and more with each visit. It is definitely a family favorite! read more

Some the best pizza! Reminds me a lot of Como's pizza in Ferndale. I was full but keep munching because the flavor was phenomenal. The service was okay but needed to be a little bit more friendlier. I came in right at the end of the lunch run and stayed a good long while just enjoying my meal. It got packed quick. You can tell it's a very beloved place. If I'm ever back out that way, I'll be coming again. The ambience felt like Buffalo wild wings without all the ginormous TVs. read more

We visit MI every year from AZ. We drive down US 12 all the time. So glad we tried Drop Top. The smash burgers are AMAZING. The deep dish pizza is soooo good. Apps and salads wonderful too. We made an extra trip here the night before our flight home. Highly recommend! read more

Great Detroit-style pizza - definitely one of the best I've tried! The staff was super friendly. When we walked in the front, they kindly guided us around to a separate side entrance for takeout, which was a nice touch. They offer some really interesting topping combinations. We tried JOEY'S FAVORITE, and both my husband and I agreed it was our favorite. The MUSHROOMS ARE FUN.GI was also tasty, though the leftovers didn't reheat quite as well as Joey's. We'll definitely be ordering again! read more

I just started going to Drop Top Pizza in May, and I instantly fell in love with the food. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was extremely disappointing. I placed an online order for pickup at around 7:00 PM while leaving the airport. The estimated wait time was 34 minutes, which worked out perfectly since I was driving from Detroit to Saline. However, when I arrived, my order--a single burger--wasn't even finished. I ended up waiting in the pickup area for more than 20 additional minutes, making the total wait over an hour for one burger. That was incredibly frustrating. What disappointed me even more was the lack of urgency, apology, or concern about the delay. It made me question whether customer service is a priority. Afterward, I reached out directly about my experience. My message was seen, but I never received a response, which only added to my disappointment. I really enjoyed your restaurant when I first started coming here, which makes this experience even more discouraging. Between the excessive wait time and the lack of follow-up, I'm hesitant to return. read more

One of my top two favorite restaurants in Saline! Unbelievably delicious smash burgers, salads, regular and gluten free pizza. The GF pizza is the best I've ever had. The crust is so good, you'd never know it's GF. Unlike other GF crusts, it's delicious and doesn't land like a rock in your gut. Also enjoyed this new nonalcoholic drink from Short's brewery. It has hops and a unique taste. Service is always friendly. Great atmosphere! read more

DropTop Pizza did not disappoint. Chef and owner, Joe Maino, opened DropTop in Saline alongside Jason Branham in the fall of 2024. Joe Maino worked under the late Shawn Randazzo at Detroit Style Pizza Company. In 2012, Shawn Randazzo was named "World Champion Pizza Maker" at the International Pizza Expo, so it's safe to say Joe Maino had a good mentor. Be warned, there will probably be a wait to dine in at DropTop during peak hours. The seating arrangement is a bit tight. I sat at the bar, and actually preferred that. The service was efficient and polite. To start, my wife ordered a margarita, and it was about what you'd expect. As for our appetizer, we ordered the pizza frita. This is a basket of fried Detroit-style pizza dough. FYI, there's a dessert version of this on the menu, too. I typically prefer ranch as my dipping sauce, but the marinara here was delicious. I enjoyed the pizza frita, but think I would've preferred the dipsticks (cheese bread). I was tempted by the fried artichokes and pesto wings, as well. For our entrees, my wife got the Oklahoma fried onion burger and I got the queen margherita pizza. The onion burger is a smash burger, and it was legit. The buns are made in house, and the patties were smashed perfectly. As for the pizza, it was one of the better Detroit-styles I've had locally. Like the burger buns, the Detroit-style pizza dough is processed in house. The pesto was a nice touch, and I added ricotta to it because, why not? Lastly, Blank Slate Creamery is located in Ann Arbor, but DropTop is the exclusive distributor of its ice cream in the city of Saline. Single scoops and pints are on the menu, but I opted for a shake. All of the shakes have a "recommended booze pairing." I got the Mackinac Island fudge shake, without booze. Shakes don't typically impress me, but this one was memorable. My wife and I really enjoyed our experience at DropTop, and will definitely be back! read more

We had a great first visit, yummy pizza and burgers. A very thoughtful wait staff that was welcoming and personable. We sat in the main, center area at a 4 top. There is bar seating and low top tables, high ceiling, and well lit. read more

We heard about this place on YouTube and decided to drop in. We ordered the pepperoni special pizza and it was amazing. Sam did a great job and the owners stopped by to say hello. The place was packed but since it was just the two of us, we were seated right away. The pizza came out very fast too. We will be back soon. The bar looks very nice and the tables were pretty nice too. read more

They make a damn good pizza. I hate to say it, but Droptop has made us question our loyalty to Buddy's for best Detroit pizza in the area. Things I prefer about Droptop pizza: - The crust is a bit thinner and crispier (i.e., less bready) than Detroit pizza usually is, which I find delicious. - Great sauce - not sweet or anything; very fresh tasting - Excellent topping choices. We love the ability to build our own pizza with so many topping choices. Shredded pepperoni is a revolutionary, game-changing topping They also have a really good house salad and dressing. And the milkshakes are frankly so tasty they should be illegal. The service is also always so friendly and the right amount of attentive. It's a great place to hang out, watch sports, and have some exceptional food. read more

Dang... that was good! My son had a pizza, I had a burger. Both were top notch. He goes to school not too far from them. We'll be back!

We tried this for the first time yesterday, and liked it so much that we came back today! We had the Super Sport pizza, which was delicious! Caramelized cheese all around, fresh ricotta and tasty sausage. Today we went for the smash burgers, so good! Excellent char on the burgers, with plentiful toppings (we had the olive burger, and mushroom swiss, which was a weekly special). Also very much enjoyed the stuffed pepper appetizer. The milkshakes are to die for!! Boozy PB&J with Skrewball peanut butter whiskey...SO yummy! Also loved the strawberry cheesecake shake, and the Oreo mint for St. Paddy's. Such great customer service as well (shout out to Melissa!), I know this will become one of our regular stops! read more

Stopped in at the recommendation of others. We couldn't decide so ordered both....the Pizza and Smashburger were amazing

This small town local pizza place is a new favorite. This is the best restaurant that's been in this location since Kelly's left. Our server Benjamin was friendly and eager to help with our questions. My friend and I have some annoying health challenges that didn't even phase him. The frittas, pizzas, fries, marinara sauce, ranch sauce were all delicious. My friend has celiacs and has decided that this is a favorite pizza place telling you that's how good their gluten free pizza is. Their dough is a bit lighter than traditional Detroit style pizzas. Their decor is colorful and fun with bright murals. The floor is checker. It has a slight 50's vibe with a pizza house twist making it enjoyable for a Saturday night dinner. Be prepared for a well worth it wait. read more

Drop Top Pizza was my first experience with Detroit-style pizza, and it did not disappoint. I topped it off with one of their milkshakes, which was just as delightful. I received excellent and attentive service from Trinity, who gave great advice when helping me select Joey's Favorite, which is now my favorite as well. I enjoyed it so much that I placed a to-go order a few days later and received help carrying my order out to my car from Angela. It was freezing, and she saved me an extra trip! Highly recommended! read more

WOW! I've been wanting to try DropTop since they opened, but every time we go by, they're jammed. Now I know why! The food is amazing, we had the waffle fry appetizer, as well as their garlic Parmesan wings. Both were fantastic! I had a glass of Pinot noir, and it was really fresh, two at our table had their special sangrias, and another had a cocktail/spritz. For mains, of course we had to try their Detroit-style pizza, we had the "Joey's Favorite" with the cup & char pepperoni (yum), and the "Skylark". Both pizza's were fantastic, and perfect for sharing! Sabrina was our waitress, and she was one of the best waitresses that we've had in a long time, so thorough, approachable, and just great at her job. The service really added to the experience! We really loved the decor, paintings, photos, and bright colors, tying the whole theme together. If you're in Saline, within 30 minutes, or just driving through, you definitely need to stop by DropTop to get some great food! I was also thrilled to learn about their pickup spot. We will absolutely be back! read more

The food is great! The young man with the black glasses at the to go desk was very sweet and welcoming. The ambiance was super cool and I'd totally go there again! The wait for the to go order was not long at all. I walked in and picked up my order immediately. read more

We had an enjoyable experience with the service/food at Drop Top! Staff/service were great and that stuffed pepper! Melissa, bartender on Saturday days (if you have service experience you know what this means). A couple (white couple wearing red coats maybe a tool company (?) in their late 50's or early 60's.) came in and were immediately rude to the host . They sat at the bar. As is with most restaurants (if this couple were cultured) ice is available upon request with your water. This privileged white man called Melissa a "B" because he wasn't offered ice water. His wife was mortified by his behavior asking him to calm down but they stormed out, Wife...If you need help, we got you. read more

Good! Fancy upscale pizza in a casual environment with friendly service. I tried Joey's with pepperoni roasted mushrooms and roasted garlic and cheese and marinara sauce topped with Parmesan. Salty and good and kind of an umami-gasm. Enjoyed a chocolate shake as well. Food 4-5/5, limited review bc only 1 total visit so far. read more

It was my first day time trying Detroit style pizza and I was not expecting soft pillowy dough that resembled a focaccia bread for the dough. On to top it off they had vegan cheese. The sauce was nice and not overpowering so the dough and toppings were the real stars. Our waitress was friendly but then again this is the Midwest so people are nicer than my hometown..haha The place is laid back so it's good for meeting up. I wish I had something similar in NYC read more

Literally every single food item on the menu is delicious. Been here over a dozen times and never had a bad meal. Service is top notch. No notes. read more

I hesitate to give a five star - and keep returning to Drop Top to see if they would warrant a four star..... but each time, they nail it! Each pizza we've had knocks your socks off- made with quality ingredients, cooked perfectly... with that great Detroit style crunch! The sandwiches are amazing... try the Detroit Olive Burger - TASTY. You can't visit without ordering the Pizza Fritta - wowsers. Drop Top is a hidden lunch location - a great hot and quickly served lunch. Beer selection and rotating tap rival anyplace in Ann Arbor. Cocktails are amazing. Take out is always solid. My only criticism would be that they don't have a frequent dining program. A great night out with the family! Service is fast and prices very reasonable. read more

First time in Michigan and wanted to try Detroit style pizza. Found Droptop on Yelp and based on the reviews it was the chosen place to visit. Walked in at 5pm and the place was packed which was a good sign. We had the Uncle Alfie and Queen Margherita (added char and cup pepperoni to half). Pizza was very good, nice crispy crust and nicely topped. If ever in the area again I will definitely revisit. read more

This is a nice clean restaurant with a very attentive staff. We were immediately greated upon entering the restaurant. The chicken sandwich was moist and the bun was fresh. The accompanying salad was a nice mix of greens. The queen margherita pizza is my favorite pizza ever! First of all this is Detroit style pizza. The edges have that nice crunch. However, they put the sauce on the pizza versus on the top. This step is a game changer. I have never had a margherita pizza topped with pesto. It was amazing! I'll be returning! read more

Perhaps the best pizza I have had. Ever. Wife loves the burger, and especially the greens. This is our go-to spot when passing thru town. read more

This place just opened a few weeks ago I believe. We ordered pick up, and we were happy to see that DropTop was all that it was hyped up to be! They have quite a few unique pizzas, all detroit style. I ended up trying the fries on a pizza, it was the ricotta for me.... SO good. Also the cherry bourbon salted pretzel milkshake was . To go service was super quick, in and out within a minute. Only complaint is that the parking lot out back was super busy and full, hard to find a spot. read more

5.00 absolutely unblemished Yelp stars. DropTop pizza isn't famous yet at the University of Michigan, but that will undoubtedly change. In fact, in my opinion, DropTop will likely become the most famous Detroit-style pizza in the State outside of Detroit (and hell, probably even in Detroit). Why? Because if these pizzas existence weren't even assisted by the hands of God, I wouldn't believe you. I don't know how many pizzas I've eaten (in fact, it's probably shocking I'm still alive given how many I've consumed), but this is easily the best Detroit style pizza I've tried. Feel free to take that with all sorts of salt grains given that I don't live in Michigan, I've only been to Detroit a handful of times, I haven't even written a Yelp review of a single Detroit pizza from Detroit, etc. None of it will matter, and you'll find yourself so annoyed that you agree with me because no person who went to the great University of Alabama should be telling anyone in Ann Arbor where to get their pizza... yet here we are and I'll never shut up about how awesome DropTop pizza is. All of the pizzas disappeared in rather short order, but if I had to tell you just one to order it would be the Super Sport with its flavorful calabrian peppers, fresh ricotta, Italian sausage, and a marinara sauce that many would bathe in and still eat. If not the Super Short and if you are on those veggie types, I'll definitely say I was super impressed with the margherita. I really loved the Preponderance of Pepperoni and the Jalapeno Popper as well. The next time I'm here I'm just going to order every other pizza because as I noted it's really that good. If you attend Michigan, be happy that you get to eat this pizza and drink beer from HOMES Brewery. And if you are visiting, make sure to eat this pizza so no matter what happens on the football field, you'll still be assured to have a great time read more

We had the margarita pizza and dough bites... both were delicious and very fresh. Our server was very friendly and attentive - he came around the perfect number of times. The ranch and the marinara sauce both tasted homemade. The wine list could use a little attention - specifically would like to see a NZ Sauv Blanc. Parking in back is limited, and spaces are pretty small... but that's downtown Saline for you. :) We were able to get a seat right away on a Thursday night at 7p, but it was pretty busy. The decor is clean and modern, but temperature-wise was quite cold. Overall enjoyable experience and would return. read more
