I don't know what this man's intentions were, but he could've came up to me and just simply asked "are you doing okay? is there anything i can do for you?" instead of scooping me out as if i was getting ready to commit a crime. as I spend more time being back in my home in Detroit, i'm just not understanding why it's too difficult to receive decent and humane customer service. i'm just in complete concern & dismay due to this experience, do so much better.

Hands down the best pizza I have had in Detroit. I visited Detroit after moving away years ago. I…read morewas craving Detroit Style Pizza and automatically thought of Buddy's. I went to the location near Broadway Downtown and walked out. I kept searching for other spots in the area. Thanks goodness Grandma Bob's kept popping up. I thought I knew what I wanted before I even stepped foot in the restaurant. Looking at the menu I wanted to try about four pizzas. I opted for the Mushroom pizza and it didn't disappoint. It was absolutely amazing. The lemon was a nice bright touch. Not overpowering. The cheese. The crust. Baked to perfection. The Greek Salad was delicious also. Service was a 10/10. I LOVED the atmosphere. Nice bar area. They also have a patio but it's too hot to sit out. I am planning my next trip back just to come back and eat here.

This was a small place with a bar that served mostly Detroit-style pizza along with boozy shakes…read more The service was appreciated and the food came out in a timely manner. For a starter, the cashew Caesar salad ($8) was ordered. It came with mixed greens, house-made cashew Caesar dressing, fried shallots, and vegan parmesan. This was very tasty. It was unique with the fried shallot addition. The dressing was just enough. It all appeared very fresh and crisp. The cheese had somewhat of an odd texture, but not a big deal. For a meal, the lobster roll pizza ($45) was ordered. This was so unique that it had to be tried. It came with 6 oz. wild caught lobster, herb crème fraiche, celery and onion brunoise, Cape Cod chips, and chives with drawn butter and lemon. This was very rich, so the addition of the lemon juice and crunchy chips really helped offset that. It was also heavy due to the components incorporated. The lobster appeared fresh and there was plenty of it. The butter was not even needed, but solid for a slight dip. The crème fraiche was solid and different. The crust was crispy and great too. Will I go back? I would, yeah.

We sat at one where another group was sitting at the other end. The service was great and they constantly came outside to check on us and refill our waters and take our old plates away. We ordered charred broccoli (forgot to get a photo, but it was good), and the packard pepperoni pizza, which had pepperoni, jalepenos, and house-made hot honey. It was so delicious! I love that the center dough was a little bit soft and the edges were perfectly caramelized.

Located off Trumbull at Holden, free parking is on site, or across the street…read more We dined inside on this July afternoon. Seating was limited. The dining area was cavernous and loud. Wait times were up to 35 min., but the non-alcohol bar wait was only ten. We chose the latter, gave our mobile number, and were ushered out of the entrance way and into another quieter, cooler, unpopulated hallway in the building to await an all clear, come on in text. That was nice. At the bar, and our server carefully explained the pizza process (~ 25-30 min. wait) and vegetable dishes (10 min wait). We ordered our meal cho, and then a couple N.A. beverages. Beverages seem to all come in bottles and cans. Of the three I tried with my companion, none were standouts in goodness. Water was served in a carafe along with a glass for each of us though. As folks got seated at the bar there was a buzz of excitement about the newness of the place, the menu and the process. After waiting and waiting, while watching one pizza after another go out, one by the each, to others, the excitement died and folks quieted, and just waited and waited for their food. I ordered Charred Briccoli, and honestly, it was the BEST EVER. I shared it with my companion, but by the time it arrived, I was hungry enough to devour it all by myself. We shared the Cowabunga Supreme Pizza (with Fennel Italian sausage, pepperoni, olives and mushroom with spicy red sauce). The corner pieces were crusty delicious, but the inner piece dough I tried was undercooked. Not great. All in all, I applaud the new effort. The people we spoke to who served and ran around were positive and really industrious. Hope management will obtain a beer / wine license one day to make the bar wait a little easier for patrons sitting there. And, an extra pizza oven (or two) might help with patron meal timing eventually.

They are fried to crispy PERFECTION, coasted with some enchanted salty stuff, plus fried rosemary, and the dip they come with has a hint of lemon and it all just works fabulously. I can't get over how much I enjoyed them. I expected my egg yolk ravioli to be runny, as the server indicated, but the folks were fully cooked. Maybe that's the intent and it was just false advertising? My friend enjoyed her butternut pasta dish. The cocktail/mocktail list here is fire. I don't think you can go wrong.

My wife and I were sitting, talking about the disappointing pizza we recently had at a new place nearby that just opened and thought we would not be able to enjoy delicious pizza again, when Saint Angelo suddenly appeared bearing boxes of deliciousness!! To say we were not only thankful and pleased but overwhelmed would be an understatement. To say that they did not last long at all would not be an understatement. The pepperoni was perfectly piquant and veggies and sausage were beyond compare. We feel truly blessed to know such a kind and great chef as Angelo and cannot wait to not only return the favor but partake of such wonderfully amazing pizzas again! :-D Isn't it wonderful how life can surprise you when you least expect it? Truly, this is what pizza should be!

It was time for seat yourselves so to the outdoor patio we traveled. Not a far walk at all but more reason to get a liter of Bock Bier, a pint of Bavarian Hefeweizen and a Ghettoblaster Ale. Sandy our well named server was able to bring the two pints but not the liter since she didn't want to spill a drop. Though I am sure she didn't want to scare us with her muscle strength. Incase she was also the bouncer. All kidding aside we had a great time and the three of enjoyed the ambiance of the brewery and the Michigan sunny warm day.

The brewery splits their offerings between Jolly Pumpkin sours and North Peak Brewing Company's variety of styles. My husband ordered a Jolly Pumpkin pint right away. I wanted to try a flight but needed time to choose. Our bartender Lenice gave me all the time I needed. When a couple of my picks weren't available, she brought me samples of other beers to try. I liked one of the samples. Jason, the manager, helped me make my final selection. I don't typically drink sours, but these weren't the kind that make you pucker. They were subtle. Definitely my kind of sours. Jason shared stories about the brewery's history and owner. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the place really came through. Lenice stopped by a few times to check if we needed anything. Both Lenice and Jason made this visit memorable. Lenice kept the energy light and friendly. Jason's passion for his work and the brewery added depth to the experience. If you're in the area and want good beer with even better service, stop by Jolly Pumpkin Brewery.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I like a sour, farmhouse, saison, etc and the options are always pretty good. If in the area, I would not hesitate to bring a friend or visitor.
