I wasn't expecting too much as I walked into Milly's for dinner but after eating there, I'm glad to report that Milly's bucks this trend. The restaurant itself is hip and cheeky and, while not the most traditional, with more modern toppings and techniques, they certainly cook a mean Detroit-style pizza. Milly's is only open a couple of days a week and according to their website, they sometimes can close early when the run out of dough. As with a proper pizza, it takes time to bake the pies, approximately 25 minutes our case. If the restaurant is busy, I'm sure it could take even longer; just be patient in any case. Featured Pizza, Small ($21) - Milly's changes their special every Thursday. For this week, they had a pizza with new potatoes, asparagus, green goddess dressing, and edible flower petals. Let's start with the most important part of a Detroit-style pizza - the crust. The crust here is seriously top tier, even compared with the top pizza parlors in Detroit. The bottom is fried until crisp, with a golden crust that looks lacy from all the browning and bubbles in the dough. The cheese crust straddling the edges is perfect: crunchy, cheesy and super savory. The interior crust is chewy, airy, with a crumb filled with small bubbles. The crust is the same texture throughout the pizza - there aren't any undercooked, soggy areas like some popular places in Detroit. The toppings at Milly's adhere to a more modern aesthetic. The potatoes, adding that nice earthy potato flavor, are smashed thin so that they're tender and creamy. Some of the red skin on the potatoes pops up above the cheese, allowing the heat from the oven to crisp them up a bit. The tender asparagus adds the vegetal and somewhat bitter and sweet notes. It's thinly sliced so that it doesn't turn the pizza soggy. The layer of cheese is tangy and creamy, giving a decent cheese pull on the edges where they intersect. The green goddess dressing seems to be made in house, adding fresh herb and umami flavors. Finally, the dried pansy flower petals are there mainly for aesthetics - they don't particularly add any flavor or texture to the pizza. (5/5) Milly Bread Special, Small ($13) - The special this week was ramp pesto. This is essentially a small 4-square pizza in size, but cut into 8 triangles (party style). It uses the same fantastic dough base as the pizza, featuring the same crisp, chewy crust, and thinner cheese layer so that it browns to a crisp. Instead of the standard toppings, it's brushed with butter and studded with garlic, then dressed with thinly microplaned parmesan to give an extra umami kick. The parmesan is added after the pizza is taken out of the oven, allowing some areas to develop into a delicate lace and others to remain thin strands. Ramp pesto is dolloped on top of each slice of bread. The pesto takes the best parts of both garlic and onion and adds a bit of a unique allium spiciness with the vegetal aroma really coming out. The rest of the dish serves as the perfect canvas to highlight the ramps. (5/5) Milly's is every bit as good, or possibly even better, than some of the top rated modern Detroit-style options in Detroit. I highly recommend making a stop here if you're in town - it's one of the best places you can get this style of pizza. Bathrooms - Two small unisex rooms in the back.

The prices are very reasonable- mostly under $15 for majority of the items. Their homemade meat sauce looks so delish and then the fresh made garlic bread! Service was very attentive and fast.

Lastly, the stained windows and historic charm made our visit even more enjoyable! Highly recommended it in downtown Houghton for everyone including families with kids!

We didn't know this, so we showed up at the location. We were welcomed by the owner who explained the situation. He allowed us to wait inside while the pizza was in the oven. He was very friendly and welcoming. He even gave us some nachos to eat while we waited and banana desserts. The pizza itself was good and definitely reminiscent of crab rangoon! When renovations are done we will be back to enjoy the bar and more pizza.

Outdoors, there's a picnic table and a couple of small glass tables with 4 chairs on the other side of the door. We were able to drag ours into the shade on the one side and both were able to sit in the shade.

The Hut - A Gem in the Keweenaw!…read more The Hut is a very unique experience, and we were thrilled to stumble upon it--especially since dining options in the area are a bit limited. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the quirky decor that ties into the Keweenaw's mining history. It's charming, memorable, and adds a special local touch you don't often find. My wife was on the hunt for some Lake Superior whitefish, and The Hut *delivered*. She went with the broiled preparation and couldn't stop raving about it--flaky, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I opted for a patty melt and was equally impressed. The marble rye was perfectly toasted, and the flavors were spot on. Service was decent overall. Our server did forget my tea, which was a minor hiccup, but honestly, it didn't detract much from the experience. The quality of the food and the one-of-a-kind atmosphere more than made up for it. If you're in the Keweenaw and looking for a satisfying meal with some local character, The Hut is definitely worth a stop.

I order the Copper Club. It consists of turkey or corn beef made hot or cold. I have it hot along with a mix of the meats. The sandwich arrives and looks very good. I try the slaw and the pickle. Slaw was good, but the pickle was too soggy. Now the sandwich, it was a damn good sandwich. The marbled rye was toasted just right, the flavor was real good. This little gem of a place is along the route to the tip of Copper harbor. Stop on the way up or back, but make it a stop. You won't be disappointed.
