I've been coming here since they've opened although I moved away for several years I'm backnin the area and happy that one of my favorite pizza spots is still around they have a huge menu so if there are picky eaters or if you variety in your selection they probably have something for you. I'll start off with a few of my favorites the Monte Cristo sandwich is a must have as it tends to sell out so get it early. I also get the Bacon double cheeseburger pizza or my new favorite the Ricky ricotta and Chris introduced me to these deep fried pineapple chunks he calls pineapple bites they're delicious. There's also the peek that they are open late 2am on the weekends. read more

My favorite pizza place in the area!! The menu is bonkers--it's huge and it's so unique. I am currently working through a "wish list" of pizzas I want to try. They also have all sorts of snacks, salads, sandwiches and desserts--even dessert pizza. They are open really late as well which seems to be in short supply post-pandemic. I have never had a bad dish from here, though the Scooby snacks are probably my least favorite items on the menu as those are hit or miss. My current favorite is the Hawaiian Punk pizza. The staff is wonderful as well. read more

Went here for the first time Friday night. I was super excited to try Hippies. I ordered a square spinach pizza. Only to get home and bite into a pretty top pizza with a burnt bottom. Also the bottom of the pizza was wet. Unfortunately I couldn't eat the pizza. Truly wanted to enjoy and have an amazing experience. Maybe next time. read more

I have only had carry out from here a couple of times, it gets an A for creativity for sure. It's a delivery only spot for sure. Gourmet pizza spot. Lots of menu item options for folks that like pizza out of the box ideas. The execution of their pizzas I have always felt was not as fantastic as it could be and for their prices though. My husband always tends to get his pizzas a large, for some cold leftovers the next day. We have tried: BBQ pizza with chicken $22.99, magic mushroom $22.99, veggie supreme $22.99, white stripe pizza $22.99, Hawaiian punk $24.99 Service is standard. No ambiance really, since it's a delivery spot. read more

Absolutely incredible, creative pizzas. On the expensive side, but they do offer coupons, and the end result is SO much better than any chain I can think of. Sometimes could be a little friendlier at the counter, but if you're giving me delicious pizza, I'll live. Shoutout to the pizzas with sweet potato tots, honey, and goat cheese - phenomenal. Add bacon. read more

I absolutely love Hippies Pizza! The variety they have is huge and the unique pizzas they have are all delicious! It's a cute little takeaway spot and the added bonus is that they are open really late! read more

$40.00 for a pizza that was so undercooked I threw it away. Had a similar experience many years ago.

I ordered a 4 piece pepperoni at about 12:30 and it was ready by 12:40. To be fair I was the only person there, but still, THATS good service. I really don't understand the negative reviews on this place, pizza is good, nice vibe, cashier was friendly. yeah, there's a slight tinge of weed when you walk by, but honestly, that makes it better. 10/10 will be eating again. read more

Awesome fresh pizza with a unique twist . The workers are always friendly. Their white stripe is really good read more

UPDATE: I'm upping my score due to management reimbursing us for the pizza we couldn't consume. While the experience of working with the staff the night we ordered was frustrating, and the website didn't work as we expected. When I brought the uneaten pizza in the next day (when I was told the owner would be in), he did take down my information and reimbursed us the cost of the pizza. Did I overtip for the results? Yes. I really may need to stop tipping at places where they ask for a tip before I've had service or eaten the food! But, that's not an issue on the business side, per se. And the lesson learned was, if you have food allergies here, you can't rely on the app for ordering, you need to call. We'll probably repeat here sparingly, but the GF crusts and CHI style crusts were both quite good! It's just expensive pizza. ‍ We were so excited to have a build-your-own pizza night. My GF and DF niece and I SPLURGED! We had to order separate pizzas due to her restrictions and then ordered a 'dessert' pizza that COULD have been spectacular. It was on a GF crust and BYO selections were: honey 'sauce', cherries, pineapples, sweet potato tots on a butter cinnamon crust. But, instead of honey, we got.....pizza sauce. And we selected no cheeses, but got basic mozzarella cheese all over. This rendered the whole pizza trash. She couldn't eat it bc of the cheese, but no one could eat because the pizza sauce ruined it. Called to try and resolve the issue or get a refund and were told 'we had to tell them not to add cheese or sauce.' But, it was BYO and we never selected cheese or sauce. The guy that took our call said, that's all pizza. And you know, if we ordered from Jets, sure. But, this is Hippies! And the reason we bought 3 different $30-40 pizzas (a piece) was to get interesting pizza no one else offers. They offer TWENTY THREE different sauces. And both honey and pizza sauce are 2 of those options. I think they got it wrong, but refused to admit they messed up the pizza. He was arguing with me that *I* should have known to tell them what I didn't want on my BYO pizza. And we ordered online. Though that would make our selections perfectly clear. But, apparently, their online ordering renders their options to rectify a partial order useless. The only offer was that we could drive back over at 9:30pm (when I called), in the rain and wait for them to make another one. Or we could call the manager the next day when he's in. But, reading other reviews, not sure that will get us anywhere. There was no offer to take our name, contact us, offer a credit for a future order. Just, drive back and we'll make another one. We tried to avoid that by checking each pizza before leaving. But, these mistakes were not noticeable until you tried to eat it. But, the other two pizzas tasted great! ‍ So, they are good when good. But, feels like when they're wrong, it's you that's wrong. read more

I've been eating my way through the Hippies pizza menu for a solid six months now. Like literally have tried maybe half of the hundred or so pizzas on the menu. The guys working are so slobby and constantly stoned but they actually do a really good job with their orders, and the pizza is reliably good. It is NOT artisan pizza. But it is creative and delicious. Some of my favorites have been the porky's, the chicken parm, the Mack pizza, and the steakhouse. The only one I didn't like so far was the Willie Nelson which was just too weird. They have plenty of choices for size and style, they're open late, and they do a good job with delivery. All in all, it's not great pizza but it is what it is. I will order again. read more

Hey Hippies, go fly a kite! My wife went up to grab pizza the other day, (2) large with 2 toppings based on your M-W special for $21.99 plus $4 however the tab arrived over $40. Sadly I did not share with her to pay attention to exact $$ however, you are crooks and honesty your pizza was so weak like I remembered it about 10 years ago. Save your money people. Bait and Switch at a mom and pop wow. Pizza is very bland, with minimal toppings and extremely fatty meats. read more

This is from some months ago. I ordered a pizza which, with tip and all of the other 'fees', came to over $40.00. Absolutely the worst pizza I've ever had. I managed to eat 1/2 of one piece as almost the whole pizza was soggy, so I tossed it. I've lived just about across the street for 32 years and I drive by there every day and it hasn't even occurred to me in that period of time to order from there - and then I remembered why - I had the same experience there some years ago. Just one person's opinion, respectfully. Tania's at 13m/Crooks has excellent pizza - I would highly recommend this establishment. read more

While the service is slow, and the pizza joint does not have great in store or in restaurant dining area, It is a place that you definitely want to order ahead and then go and pick up. The pizza varieties are very diverse. Lots of options. I recommend looking at the menu. I would give this restaurant four stars because of the variety, and the food quality and toppings do not lock. A lot of food and value for your money. read more

CHEESE BREAD REVIEW ONLY : I'm 36, have eaten a lot of cheese bread in my life. Two of my coworkers and I got 3 different kinds of bread last night - 1: bacon onion mozz 2: the 3 cheese the one with ricotta and 3: the regular cheese bread . It was a consensus that they were all horrible. They were salty and the garlic powder didn't go. There was nothing really enjoyable about the breads at all including texture. The breads were just bad. I wouldn't ever get them again. I don't know how garlic cheese bread could be bad, but it just was. read more

Very rude on the phone. The food isn't bad but I've had multiple bad experiences on the phone with the same frustrated dude in there.

Not good tonight, 1st ordered wings with sauce on the side, came with sauce on the wings. Pizza, tastes like ingredients are old, I think it's the beef. Pepperoni, ground beef and mozzarella balls. Just tastes old, don't know how to describe it. $50 down the drain . read more

Very unusual, and delicious pizza's. Best Monte Crisco I've had, just like Bennigan's used to make. Great Mom and Pop pizza shop!

Pizza is okay. Tried both build your own and a specialty pizza. I wasn't terribly impressed with either . Pizzas ready on time and warm. read more

Just ordered pizza and salad for delivery first time . On time delivery. Salad was ok. Pizza had no sauce, NONE. Toppings wrong. Called and talked to manager. Unapologetic. No more Hippies. Don't do it. Pizza 5.6. Service 1.3. read more

I can't say enough good things about my first experience with Happies Pizza. I called today at 11:30 to place a delivery order. I admitted to the gentleman on the phone that this was my first order and I may have some questions, with a relatively large lunch order (5 pizzas) he didn't miss a beat and answered all of my questions and even gave me a discount seeing as it was my first order. I was quoted 45 minutes to an hour and the pizza showed up within the time expected. The pizza was hot and fresh. I wasn't sure what to expect from a place called hippies pizza but what I got was pizzas made with fresh ingredients, flavorful pizza with a doe and crust that was both light and crisp. I will absolutely be back and suggest you give it a try. We tried the 5 listed below and would recommend any of them as they were all winners Margaritaville Double bacon cheeseburger Supreme White Stripe - my favorite Fat bastard read more

Hippies Pizza - Bacon Double Cheeseburger Pizza (left) White Stripe Pizza (right) - Pizza Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Hands down the BEST vegan pizza in the area. They quit using Daiya cheese....that has catapulted this pizza to new horizons. You could not have made me believe the cheese was not real cheese. But apparently Hippies changed the vegan brand they use and it was for the better. I order the vegetarian pizza with the vegan cheese, the cheese bread and a salad. Toppings were plentiful and service was nice a friendly. Definitely a hole in the wall....but hey they typically have the best food don't they? And Hippies definitely proved that statement to accurate! read more

Hippies Pizza - Vegetarian pizza with Vegan Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

I love this place. Amazing and creative gourmet. Pizza. Service is good. It's a carry out place. So your in and out.

Pizza - 5 star. Owner - 1 star. Always wanted to try this place. Finally did. No regrets. Gluten free dough is fantastic. Thin crust dough is good. Chicago style pizza is not really Chicago style: it's a thin crust with turned up edges. Not sure why they call it Chicago style. Still good though. 1st time I ordered here, had to wait 10 minutes longer than told. 2nd time I ordered, when I arrived, they did not even start the order. I ordered 1 gluten free and 1 deep dish. Both come only in medium. They ran out of deep dish dough. So kid at countered offered to make it a large thin crust, which is $2 more. Owner told kid at counter he would not do it without me paying the $2. Kid was embarrassed, and try to convince the owner that is the right thing to do for good customer service. Owner was a jerk to him. I really like the pizza here. I don't mind the owner wanting to charge me $2 more, but I did not like him being a jerk to the kid at the counter. read more

Meet a pizza place with a WOW factor. We tried Hippies for the first time last night and what an impression. After this long SIP due to COVID, we found ourselves looking for something new and untested (by anyone we know). First, props to these guys for having dairy-free cheese. My daughter has a sensitivity and she was able to have this pizza and enjoyed it! Second, the entire family raved about their pizza, each of us having our own style. Me, I had the BBQ pizza with pulled pork and I woke up craving the leftovers. A definite must-have-again! These guys have a huge variety of craft pizzas and I can't wait to give it another go. If you can't find something on this menu, it means you didn't even look. read more

Hippies Pizza - BBQ pizza with pork - Pizza Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Very meh. The pizza was underdone. It appears that when it was transferred to the box, everything shifted and all the toppings were on 1 side. I did not do that since I kept them level. I was so looking forward to this pizza. Please someone give me a reason to try again. And Chicago style is just a round with a little extra dough on the sides. read more

If I could give this pizza spot zero stars I would. The worst customer service I've ever experienced. We ordered our pizza thru DoorDash and the correct receipt came w. The wrong order of pizza. The shop made the incorrect pizza and sent it w. The doordash person. None of us eat meat, and we received a meat pizza w. The receipt "Athena" which is a VEGGIE pizza. We called the shop asking if we can get the correct order and they told us there was nothing they could do -- to go through DoorDash. The "owner" told them to hang up on us. You're joking right? This has to be the worst customer service I've ever had in my entire life. It costs you probably $3 to make that pizza and instead of doing the right thing by the CUSTOMER you completely fckd us, buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get fckd. PS RYAN FROM DOORDASH WAS THE BEST PART OF THIS EXPERIENCE read more

Absolutely outstanding! Great customer service and absolutely delicious food. My go-to is the Detroiter and it never disappoints. Highly Recommend! read more

Not sure why they only have 3 stars. Lived in Royal Oak for 25 years. How did I not eat here before?! Amazing ingredients and cooked perfectly!!! Worth every carb!!! HIPPIES FOR THE WIN read more

I love their cheesy bread and creative pizzas. I have seen a worker smoking right in front of the door and people working are normally stoned but they end up with my stomach satisfied. I recommend going here if you're up for something out of the ordinary! read more

Hanging at a friends in Royal Oak, I ordered food & paid (on credit card) $67.42 on hippies website....I gave them plenty of time to deliver the food (2x as long as what my online confirmation had provided; as it was a busy dream cruise Saturday). I called the restaurant multiple times to track down my driver and the calls went unanswered. Assuming the restaurant had lost the order, we called it a night and drove home. I got a call 35 minutes into my drive home, asking if I want food dropped on porch or doorbell rang. I advised they failed to deliver as promised, failed to call to inform me of delivery running late and they FAILED to pick up phone when I called looking for food. Caller blew up!....caller advised he was the owner & he was working alone....he advised He was cancelling the order and putting (our friends) address on his "do not deliver" list. I waited 5 days for transaction to cancel and when It never was. I called to talk to owner and the coward would not come to the phone and told employee to tell me to fight for the refund with my bank. You are a real class act Chris Culbertson! read more

The pizza is good. The service is not. If you need pizza late at night, or if you want vegan pizza, and don't mind workers hanging up on you in a fit of rage because you had to call again to make changes to your order, then this is the place for you. I've never been to a business where the workers throw a fit at you over the smallest shit. I've heard other people had bad experiences with service here too. It's a shame, because their pizza is good, but it's not worth it. Don't go here read more

Probably won't be back because my wife swears she got sick from here, however they have a lot of great vegan and veg options and some stuff on the menu is more out of the ordinary if you're tired of the same old pizza. I liked it for that. read more

I have to admit it has been a minute since I have been to Hippies, but I decided I would get it on a Saturday night. I don't even know where to begin. So I order up Pizza and Three Cheese bread my total order came to $27.54. Online ordering said 30 minutes. I showed up 35 minutes later, and it wasn't ready. That is no big deal. But when I showed up, and the cashier seemed super annoyed, I was in there picking up a carryout. So I get my food and get back home ready to chow a great pizza. Wow, I was super disappointed when I got home! The one thing I have learned from this experience. I will always open up before I take it home. Looking at this pizza, look at the photo. It was made like crap. I feel like I could have gone to Little Ceasers and got a Hot and Ready. It would have been a step up from this pizza. Maybe they were having an off night, but how could they pull this monstrosity out of the oven and not see it was looking terrible. Also, I ordered the three-cheese bread, which I have done before. I was expecting the bread to look like it had tater tots on it. I get 2020 has been a crazy year but really this is how you are rolling now? read more

Hippies Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

My co-worker and I are in a late shift, starving with not too many delivery options, besides door dash. We did not have $200 to have DoorDash deliver a meal, so we went local! The best decision ever! The customer service was great, delivery was super fast, and the food was hot upon delivery! Let's start with the Monti Cristo sandwich...REMINDED ME OF Bennegins!!! Super good!! It was a bit smaller, but the taste made up for the size. I order Chicken Alfredo pizza whenever I order pizza, tried a few places...but this pizza is the absolute best! I honestly don't think there's a pizza place close by that can out do Hippies! Great job!! I will definitely refer our guests to your establishment! read more

I never write bad reviews for local restaurants, but I am horrified at my experience just now calling Hippies Pizza in Royal Oak. I had a bunch of questions, due to food restrictions (is your gluten-free crust also vegan) and life-threatening allergies (do you use sesame on your pizzas), and the person with whom I was speaking didn't know any of the answers...not one. So, each question, he was yelling it out to the other staff and getting the answer. After the question about sesame, his colleague yelled out "you can hang up on them." What????!!!!! I was excited to try this place, and am so disappointed in being treated so rudely. read more

I loved the strange variety of pizzas. I got a goat cheese with honey and red pepper and husband ordered a bacon cheeseburger pizza. There were tons of vegetarian options and several vegan ones. I accidentally ordered "delazones" (calzones) but the bread was good enough that it wasn't too heavy. We ordered cheese bread and the special brownies. We split a brownie and it was fantastic. I look forward to trying more flavors in the future. read more

If there was an option for ZERO stars, this would be the place to use it. We signed up for Hippie's loyalty program and received an email for a free birthday pizza. We called the establishment to get more information about the reward and they indicated we would have to come to the store to show them the email and place our order. We drove over a half hour, only to be informed by the owner that there was no barcode to scan on the email, so he would not accept it. The owner then barked at an employee to provide us with a number to call so that we would not waste any more of his time. Presumably, the number was for the company that runs their loyalty program. When we called the number, we were told that this was an issue for the establishment to handle. We went back to the store, only to get yelled at by the owner. He flat out refused to honor the email. In order to save the approximately $3 (or less) that it would have cost him to make an individual size pizza, he lost our business forever. An owner with absolutely no regard for his customers has no business being in business! read more

Great pizza with vegan cheese options. Takes forever to get order...start an hour before you are hungry!

The gentleman on the phone was very short on the phone but I understood because it's a Saturday night and they are busy. When I went in to get my pizza the guy at the counter (WITHOUT A MASK) was so freaking rude and short with me - like I said I understand they are busy but I was the only one in the lobby at the time and the phone wasn't ringing. Both of my pizzas were cold as ice and they both needed to be re-cut because whoever cut them didn't actually apply a tiny bit of pressure to actually cut the pizzas. So since I've worked at many pizza places and I noticed that there weren't any slices cut but a few marks in the cheese to where it was attempted to be cut-I recognize that I would have to cut both pizzas or else it would be impossible to try to pull a slice off. So rude service, ice cold pizzas, sub par Parmesan bread which I had to actually add Parmesan when I got home (while I appreciate they didn't smother it with butter but you do need a decent amount of butter so your sticks aren't hard and also so the Parmesan sticks instead of being all over the bag. However, there was barely any Parmesan on the order to be all over the bag. I'm not cheap but 31 bucks for a small, medium, and a small bread (round and picked up) should have at least been warm and palatable. Very sad because they have a definite great menu, location, and ability to serve a quality pizza. Tonight however while being treated like crap, receiving two ice cold pizza's, having to cut my own pizza when I got home, and the bread situation have pretty much turned me off to Hippies. I would have called and complained but I didn't want to deal with the dude at the front counter who basically just sat there and didn't get off of his chair to grab my order or to do anything but sit there and be insanely rude. In fact I worked there a long time ago and I have never treated a customer in that fashion. If he was running around, there were people filled in the lobby, he was helping possibly bag delivery orders, answering the phone, or doing anything besides just sitting there then maybe I would've understood why he was very short and extremely rude with me. I don't think they even care if they lose a customer but they have definitely lost a longtime customer. read more
