I am in town for business and the hotel has this Green Lantern Pizza place as the place to order pizza from advertised on the wall. I was a little skeptical because I've had great pizza before but I was hungry and wanted pizza so I gave them a try. The pizza arrived quickly and the order was completely perfect. The lantern bread was amazing and the pizza was deep dish and perfectly cooked with a lot of sauce. This is some of the best pizza I have ever had! read more

I LOVE GLP. It's my Friday night tradition to get pizza and cheese bread after work. I work a lot and have two dogs, one of which is a young Lab, so my evenings are spent breaking his spirit with toys and tennis ball chasing. On Fridays I take them to daycare as part of my "sabbatical" for the week - the rest of the sabbatical is to order GLP, lay around on the couch among sleepy puppies and guzzle Bacardi while dozing off to PBS (I know, I lead a wild life). Allow me to discuss why this pizza is great. The crust is handmade - it's chewy, crispy, perfect amount of salt and flavor. The sauce is very fresh-tasting; light, a little sweet, a little tang. And the cheese is GREAT - real cheese, flavor, a little greasy (a necessity, and it's not too greasy). The toppings are very high quality as well - sausage is real italian sausage with the appropriate fennel taste. Onions are always sliced thin for some nice sweetness and crunch. Pepperonis are like little cups. There's a pizza called the Chicken Siciliano that's AMAZING - chicken, feta, herbs, spicy peppers, onions and garlic butter - you gotta try it! And the Lantern Bread is delicious. Also, it's worth mentioning that the guys who take the orders are SUPER police and friendly, and I've never waited more than 30 minutes for delivery. EVER. I'll be ordering it tonight, and I can't wait... read more

one word, folks....AWFUL Being very picky about my pizza, I would say that this is one of the worst carry out places in the area. WAYYY too greasy and doughy. The only good part of this pie is the pepperonis and the sauce. The rest is just ruined. Their original location in Madison Heights should be embarrassed about their attempt to parlay into the world of the carry-out/delivery place. I have friends that love this place and I'll never know why. I will continue to drive out of my way and pick up my pie at Capri. read more

After reading all the reviews on this place, I was ecstatic about placing an order for delivery. My first thought was to make sure to get myself an order of their famous lantern bread. And we did. And it tasted like the breadsticks from Papa John's. What a huge freaking bummer. So we started off with a deep dish pizza with green olives, pepperoni, onions and extra cheese. I really liked that it came cut into squares. It was hot and tasty but I've had better. Much better. I even prefer a simple Papa John's regular cheese to this. My husband, on the other hand, really enjoyed it. So, it might have just been a personal preference. We also ordered a 10 piece order of wings. They didn't ask me about a level of spiciness so I just assumed they were going to be mild. They were ridiculously hot and drenched in so much sauce that I had to pat them down with a paper towel. The delivery took close to 55 minutes to arrive and after ordering a Mountain Dew, they sent us with a Mello Yello 2 liter. The whole experience was a bit of a disappointment so I probably wouldn't order from them again. read more

My new go to pizza place for take-out and delivery. Toppings are thick cut and plentiful. Crust is crisp, crunchy and delicious. Sometimes you want good pizza that isn't pretentious, and that's what you get here. This is the same pizza as the sit-down Green Lantern on John R. to be sure, but you don't have to deal with the families and tight quarters. They have a good selections of standard toppings and a few specialty pies which come in handy when you're indecisive. Be careful if you're picky about crusts, as some of these pies are deep dish by default. It doesn't bother me, but just make sure you specify when you order. 45 minutes delivered more or less. They say 20 minutes picked up but you can go a bit early and still get it. It's all pretty standard stuff, but the Green Lantern do it very well. read more

I'm really bummed about updating this review with 2 less stars. It's actually been awhile since we've ordered from Green Lantern. We tend to jump around since there are several pizza places in the area. Our sweet neighbors gave us a gift card to Green Lantern, so we decided to use it. First issue I had was trying to order online from my phone. It was way too involved, but I figured it was worth it if we order again. From what I could see on my iPhone, it only gave the option to pay at delivery. Since I had a gift certificate, I wanted to call to make sure they'd accept it for delivery. When I called, I must have gotten the new kid. He wasn't sure how to deal with the gift card for delivery & struggled through the call. I ordered an X-large pizza with 2 toppings & Lantern bread. I asked for well done bread and extra sauce. When the pizza arrived, the toppings were pretty scarce and the pizza was overloaded with cheese. The Lantern bread was definitely not well done & pretty doughy. The sauce is very sweet and lacked flavor. Since I have had several pizzas in the area, I wasn't really impressed. I was so disappointed because I really thought I loved this pizza. It wasn't horrible, but not great. It was really nice of our neighbors to get us a gift card and greatly appreciated! read more

You - yes, you, in the pressed collared shirt - let me tell you something. Just because I lived in Chicago for the last six years doesn't mean I have been spoiled for pizza elsewhere. They can ruin pizza just as easily there as anywhere else. Trust me, I've eaten pizza everywhere, even St. Louis (although that is not pizza so much as puke-cheese on a saltine) so I know a bad pizza when I come across one! Luckily, you shouldn't have that problem at Green Lantern. The Detroit style deep dish is a perfect symmetry of dough, crust, fresh toppings, and cheese/grease. The sauce is a little on the sweet side, but if you're sensitive to tomato acid outbreaks that should keep your ass from chapping. Also, it reheats very well. read more

Nom nom square everything pizza for 20.5 pickup. Not enough banana peppers but made up with kraft Parmesan cheese packets. My friend says this is a sh***y review but she doesn't know good pizza so ha! read more

Green Lantern Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

See all

Green Lantern claims to have the best pizza in town. I don't know about that but it is good. It's your typical greasy, deep dish, pizza that'll have your average person full over a 2-3 slices. With that said, you can get just as good if not better pizza from Shields or Buddy's for the same price without having to deal with the hassle written below... Reason for 2 stars...this places needs to get with the times...they should actually call it Green Dungeon as you walk in and it's very dark and you get hit with smoke as there's NO non smoking section. Perhaps they are trying to hide the waitresses leather faces as they are all ancient. I don't know. Ageism at it's best : ) . I would not bring my son here as I don't consider this place kid friendly. During my last visit where I was dragged there by a friend....we tried to sit as far away from the smoke as possible however all the tables were dirty. We sat at a dirty table for 5 minutes until we just got up and left as no one came over to clean the table. I would suggest if you REALLY want to try they do deliver in the Madison Heights/Royal Oak area. read more

I still dream of this pizza after moving to Ferndale. We always got the big squares that you can eat for days. Every piece was like two normal servings of pizza. The cheese consistency is spot on. Our favorite was the Hawaiian but I also liked the classic pepperoni. The Lantern Bread is just as good as the pizza. They were always on time or early with delivery, especially when you are so hungry that it feels like an eternity- they never made it feel like an eternity. We never did pick up or dine-in, but they killed it with bringing us our order. Great product, great company, hope to pick up a pie someday soon. read more

First off I am reviewing the original crust. The deap dish from GL is not the original recipe. So I suggest sticking with the classic. From an 8 year old child to my grandparents...when someone is introduced to the GL, they ask...where did you get this pizza? It is F'in amazing. The Royal Oak location does not use the brick oven like the original in Madision Heights. So to ensure your pie is done right. Order the pizza well done. This will ensure crispy peps and a nice crunch. Trust me. If you fail to do this, your pizza could be a little flimsy. I must comment on the person who complained of grease. This is pizza. Made with REAL cheese and REAL pepperoni. Grease is expected. With the GL it really is not a big deal. I also suggest a antipasto salad with the house dressing. Super good. I love Pizza. Green lantern has the best Pizza I have ever had. read more

A must have when Im in town. The cheesy bread alone is divine. Especially with the ranch dip. Dont bother with the wings.

Very good pizza. Possibly the best in town. Comparable to buddy's for quality and priced very well.

FRONT-LINE WORKER SAVED BY PIZZA! I take my scrubs off to the staff at this location. After working over a 14+ hour shift for the 4th day in a row I was wound pretty tight. I made a mistake ordering online (I wanted to use the 20% coupon for my first online order). I carried the pizza out of the store, by the time I got home I had eaten a slice (square) in the dark driving home, it was amazing, really hit the spot. () It wasn't until I got home that I realized I didn't put any toppings on their Octopie. I called to let them know I made a mistake and their pizza was still amazing but I was disappointed. My uncouth behavior that followed was case in point displacement after dealing with the pandemic. I was met with courtesy and respect. I was offered a replacement with toppings! Anything I wanted! I spoke with NATE and the guy at the counter, great guys. I have 2 more days to go and I have more than enough pizza to share with my coworkers. Much appreciated! 10/10 pizza, This is the best Detroit style pizza in the Detroit area. Everyone says so, and will make me a hero at work, but whoever was working at the RO location on 8/15 are the real heroes read more

Used to be a great place to get a pizza, but not anymore. I won't order here again. Placed a carry out order for a XL deep dish square pepperoni and it maybe had ten slices of pepperoni. Basically they gave me an all cheese pizza. I asked the guy who showed me the pizza and he didn't have an answer. I asked the girl who took the money and she didn't have an answer except for I don't know. I gave this place another try after I walked in to buy a carry out and waited an hour and a half for a pizza. They said oh whoops looks like one of our drivers took it on a delivery. Here is a $5 off coupon for your troubles. I am threw with them. They don't care about customer service period. I am done read more

Service was awesome. They really have in together and are very well-staffed. Great attitude and very personable. I have been told by MANY to try this place , but I live in Waterford ... Was in the royal oak area so I finally tried it and I'm hooked! Great quality, very fresh totally worth the drive. I will be back. I had the Sicilian , the Bread (YUMMM) and the boneless wings with spicy garlic sauce. Everything was DELICIOUS !!! read more

Always a good experience. Always prompt on delivery. One of the best pizzas you can get in the area. The breadsticks are good (and I don't even care for breadsticks). But what gets them five stars: their wings. My third or fourth favorite wing I've ever had (I'm a wing snob). The medium is a perfect, mild buffalo flavor, but if you like hot, their extra hot is insane. So good. I've never had anything else, because these items are all I need. read more

Delicious, great coupons! So many pizza options around royal oak and we keep coming back to Green Lantern. We also went to the restaurant, which is usually crowded. The pepperonis on the pizza are small and crispy and they definitely put an overloaded amount of them on. Order from here, you will not be disappointed read more

Green Lantern Pizza - Sausage, onion and pepp. Coupon for large pizza and 3 toppings. $11.99 - Pizza Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

I go here two to three times a month. Unfortunatley the last two times have been poor. I worked at pizza places so I know consistency can be hard but c'mon now. Over sauced one day and under sauced the next time. Today I was overcharge and when I asked about it the counter guy was SO rude I just took my two dollar loss. The pizza was again OVER sauced- to the point it was barely edible. The reuben was just bits of corned beef. It was decent but I prefer slices of meat rather that the scraps off of the slicer. It was like dog food. They need to be polite, get consistent again, and itemize your bill instead of being rude. Sad because they used to be my fave in the area but I am going to go elsewhere from now on. It makes me sad that such a special pizza place has turned to poo.. read more

Omg. I love Green Lantern. My partner introduced this place to me a while back and ever since then, I've been smitten. I always order a medium deep dish w cheese and mushrooms and that's all I really need. Their deep dish crust is always on point, no matter what. The workers at this particular location are kinda not the friendliest though, and I'm definitely someone who values great customer service and interaction. So that knocked a star off for me. But besides that...If I die from my arteries being cemented shut at the ripe ol' age of 30, it's because I've been eating Green Lantern Cheesy Bread for all 3 meals of the day, plus snacks. read more

Favorite pizza and cheese bread. Ingredients are always fresh. I will order for the rest of my life. Small and crispy pepperonis are cooked perfectly. I can easily eat once a week. Chubby Calves Certified Hot Spot read more

wow.. just wow. the breadsticks and veggie pizza are a regular for me. Moving to Detroit 3 years ago has introduced me to some amazing pizza. This is def high up on my list. The toppings are heavy..I think it's the cheese that keeps bring me back here. I would recommend this place to people who are looking for a good pizza to go with movie night. The deliver in the RO area and north of 9 so you may have to drop by and do a pick-up if you're not in the area. Well worth the drive though. read more

I had a party with about 22 of my friends who as you may have guessed have a very picky Pizza palette. And are never happy!! But wait there's good news, YES there is great tasting Pizza at the" house of flavor" GREEN LANTERN, yea baby, the real deal. Live and well in the heart of the toughest pizza market in the world Detroit. The home of pizza great. Just a little place not much to look at but what happens inside is nothing short of spectacular. If you want real pepperonis and not watered down sauce with real bakers dough done right this is the answer. I just want to know how they do it. GREAT GREAT PIZZA read more

I ordered the veggie pizza and fell in love. They did not scimp on the toppings! The veggies were so fresh and delicious! I will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

Green Lantern Pizza - See what I'm sayin'?! Yummy - Pizza Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Get their bacon and pepperoni pizza. Fantastic all around. A little pricey but well worth it.

Got a classic round pepperoni pizza with garlic butter crust.... all i can say is wow. this pizza blew me to mars. i also got the spicy garlic parm wings they will knock your socks off! pull up!!!' read more

I am always a sucker for a good slice (or 3) of pizza and Green Lantern delivers. I have to admit, I actually prefer this place over their sit-down restaurant at 12 Mile & John R...maybe it's because I've only gotten the deep dish there (which I usually prefer but I didn't get the big deal about it). The Rochester Rd. location however? While it was only my second trip there, it certainly did not disappoint. The round pizza is a little bit thinner crust then I normally prefer, but I love it. It has a good flavor to it, plenty of cheese, just the right amount of sauce and cooked to perfection. read more

Pepperoni pizza and cheese bread are so good! They have bold pepperoni that gets a little crispy. They have keno inside. It is a quick and painless to get take out. read more

Madison Heights Green Lantern is the place to go for great pizza and more. Great wait staff Jessie was our waitress never had a empty glass friendly and always smiling. Try the double double Italian sub OMG the best ever great pizza, wings, Lantern Bread and salads. WE bring all our out of town family and friends. read more

Ordered a small veggie with no cheese last night. They actually took the order correctly! Lots of pizza places will leave cheese on but they got it right. And the amount of veggies given was very generous. We ordered the square and it was delicious. Could use a little more flavor but still good. And delivery was prompt read more

I have a big family that eats dinner together nightly, including some teenagers, so great inexpensive dinners that please everyone are hard to come by. My niece, in particular, is one of the PICKIEST eaters out there...seriously. She LOVES this Green Lantern and the pizza there! The Green Lantern on John R is nice for sit down, but being a family on the move, this location is fast and friendly when we need take out! Colin and the other staff that work there are super amazing! They are very accommodating...they cook the pizza exactly as we ask even with special requests. They get what extra sauce or extra cheese means, unlike other pizza places in the area. Speaking of toppings, the CHEESE...omg...their cheese is so amazing and gooey and wonderfully melty. I can't even handle it. Their sauce is good and tomatoey...not too much extra spice added keeping things nice and natural just like I like it. They have a good variety of toppings...I am a vegetarian and I have options even though I prefer just plain cheese from there...so good. My niece LOVES their pepperoni. The cheese bread is also delicious...you know, because the cheese. I really like cheese...sorry. They have other items to choose from as well if you have someone in your family who isn't a pizza fan, like my father. I think it's not human not to like pizza but I guess it happens...poor poor pizza-less lives. Overall, pizza is pretty awesome (especially when Colin makes it). This place is clean which is really important to me. They are friendly and really accommodating. I have a lot of friends in the area that order from here as well and love it just as much as me. It's pretty much a staple in the Madison Heights/Royal Oak area! read more

Whenever I'm craving pizza, I always go to Green Lantern! When they say they're the king of pepperoni, they mean it. My go to is their thin crust pepperoni pizza which is always amazing... just enough crisp mixed with cheese to make it a perfect combo. I am always greeted by a friendly staff member upon entering. I order online, which is super convenient and most of their coupons can only be used when ordering online. I am signed up for their email list, and they send out deals pretty frequently so I never pay full price for anything. When I bring a Green Lantern pizza home, my family devours it all! Definitely one of the few pizza places that everyone loves and won't complain about. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend you do (and get ready for a new to go pizza favorite!) read more

I like the other location better but it is the same great subs!

It's a good pizza, it's just not my favorite. I prefer a thinner crust with pepperoni that's on the crispy side. The toppings GL uses are fresh but thick cut and the peproni isn't crispy. So, if you like a doughy crust with thick cut toppings, than GL is for you. read more

After a hard day of labor, we used our welcome wagon free pizza coupon to try Green Lantern. The pizza was for a 2 topping large. We added some extra toppings and a garden salad. I was a little disappointed with the choice of side items basically they only had chicken wings or bread. I was impressed with the delivery service. On a Saturday night we got a pizza delivered in about 30 minutes. The delivery guy was friendly and patient while we looked for coupon and a wallet to pay for our salad and upgrades. We got the thin crust. It was perfectly cooked with crispy edges on the meat. I was especially fond of the crust which was chewy in a good way. My husband thought it was a little greasy, but it could have been partially as a result of the generous meat toppings. I'm sure we'll be repeat customers. read more

We ordered take out cheesy bread and the four corner pizza, well done because we hate doughy! The pizza has great crust flavor and crisp ones, the tomatoe sauce is perfect taste....but the crust was still doughy! Other than that, pretty delicious pizza and the cheesy bread is delicious....very cheesy, thin and thick pieces and crispy! Overall delicious! read more

So delicious!! I got a mini veggie rectangle pizza for myself. I had half and it was more than enough! The dough is thick, soft, and crispy on the outside. Toppings and cheese were plentiful. I ordered for takeout and staff were super friendly. They showed me my pizza before closing up the box which I thought was very nice. Definitely recommend this pizza place!! read more

Probably my favorite pizza, way better than the competition the taste and the not clay cheese says it all. Yum

Gluten-free pizza was outstanding!( that's hard to pull off) super fast delivery on a Saturday night and really great delivery guy. Hot and delicious. Highly recommended read more

Really good pizza. Love their smaller pepperonis. They taste much more authentic then other pizza places.
