Creative, Unique, and Deeeeelicious…read more Wudda took photos of the pizza but i keep eating them There's Detroit style pizza then there's the mad scientists at Pie Sci cooking up fun and flavor concoctions taking pizza above and beyond. The staff is always warm and welcoming, just like their slices. The place always has customers coming and going. And it's a chill little vibe to hunker down and dig in. The menu is always rotating with interesting and flavorful combinations: bechamel sauce and onion jam, figs and apples, wild mushrooms and spicy diablo sauce are all just a small sample of what I have experienced. And it is exactly those experiences that keep me coming back. If you're looking for a tasty slice to satisfy a craving or a whole pizza to feed a party Pie Sci is what i recommend!

Did you really go to Detroit if you didn't have Detroit style pizza?…read more Elephant & Co was the perfect place for my friends and I to unwind after a long day! They're a great place for groups. They have a big dining area and each person is able to set up their own tab to manage their food and drink purchases. When you arrive, you get a wristband. This allows you to scan into the wall taps and fill up how ever much or little you want. They had a great selection of brews and I was especially impressed by a few local beers that were absolutely delicious! The pizzas are huge, so my only regret is not ordering one to share with a friend. I was able to only finish about a quarter of the small before having to call it quits. Detroit pizza is thick, so come hungry. While the pizzas were a hit, I have to say, the fries were a treat! They were so great! All in all- an excellent spot centrally located in Detroit!

As a NON-Detroiter, I would say that this was a pretty good recommended pizza spot serving fun…read moreDetroit-style pizza. Fluffy bread and a pleasant crust, this pizza parlor introduced me to some of the better pizzas during my stay. I got the Meat Lovers and the Big Mack to try. The Meat Lovers is what you expect, just a good amount of meat to pair with the large amount of dough and cheese. It's a bit oily and heavy, so the Big Mack was actually my favorite due to the lighter nature and the accurate taste compraison to an actual Big Mac. Beer was also great. I've been getting into beer lately and wanted to try some Michigan-brewed beer and the options as well as the taste did not disappoint. Service was good. I let them know that I wasn't from Michigan and it was my first week there and they gave me a good run-down of the menu. Their recommendations were solid and they leave us unattended for too long. I wish there was a bit more table space at the communal tables, but there's only so much you can do with the size of the restaurant.

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.

Food: we ordered the Packard pepperoni pizza- it was delicious, with a great balance between sweet (from the hot honey) to savory. The dough, sauce, and toppings were well balanced, fresh, portioned.

Parking is extremely limited they maybe have 5 spots available excluding pickup but there is parking of street parking around so don't worry. Seating is also extremely limited, we ended up sitting outside on one of their outside benches but the weather wasn't too bad. They also serve you plates and water if you sit outside. It took about 20-30min wait for our pizza. We got the packard pepperoni to share. It sure does pack a punch of heat/spice with the chilies. The honey balance it out well though so don't be too scared. The bread/dough was very fluffy and the cheese crust was crunchy and delicious! Definitely very bread heavy in general but I think this place does it well. Overall decent pizza but I think I prefer a thin slice over Detroit style.

And the food...OMG, the food. The smoked duck breast was spectacular. Truly amazing. The mushroom pizza was delicious, and I honestly couldn't stop eating it. We also had the ricotta, egg, truffle, and kombucha pasta. It was good, just not quite as incredible as everything else. The egg inside was cooked solid, and I think if the yolk had been just a little runny, it would have taken the dish completely over the top. Such a great dinner. Can't wait to come back!

The bacon scone was absolutely outstanding, however you have to ask for butter for this, which is a must, but that was the only thing for a $325 brunch bill for 4 people. The entrees were cold when we received them, and one took so long to get that it was actually comped by the restaurant. The steak and egg benny was okay. The egg was overcooked and only jammy and not runny, and the croissant which had the steak on it was super oily and gross. There is a reason why a biscuit or english muffin is used in this dish, so whoever decided a croissant was a good idea is not smart, or eating the current weekend chef's food. The potato frites super greasy and oily as well as cold. Draining them on a paper towel would have been clutch. We had other entrees that no one finished because of the quality and taste of the food. It would have been helpful if the kitchen staff put the food under a salamander or heat light. If they have one of these, it certainly wasn't working that day in proper order. This is not a place I would ever go to brunch again. Maybe I would try dinner have one of their cheaper dinners as the $34 benny was overpriced and underperforming. I am giving this place three stars rather than one because the service was great unlike the food.

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.

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 wouldn't sit here for hours on end because the seats aren't particuly cozy, but the vibe is totally welcoming and the people that work there have always been very friendly and nice.

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.

The arancini are a great way to start - crispy on the outside with a warm, flavorful center. I also really liked the garlic and goat cheese - rich, creamy, garlicky. For pasta, I've tried both the penne alla arrabbiata and the cacio e pepe. The arrabbiata has a nice kick while the cacio e pepe is simple and comforting. Between the two, it really just depends on what you are in the mood for. The atmosphere is another reason I like coming here. Ottava Via has a cozy, lively feel that works just as well for dinner with friends as it does for a date night. Definitely a place I'd keep in the rotation when I'm craving Italian in Detroit!
