    We had been seeing this place pop up on my feed for a while, so when my friend group and I were in Detroit we wanted authentic Detroit style pizza, so this was the obvious choice. We made sure to get there right when they opened and there were already people trickling in and the waitress mentioned the locals come so regularly it's basically a habit at this point. We ordered three different pizzas for 4 people. They have premade options but you can also build your own with toppings. Everything was delicious and exactly what we expected from Detroit pizza. The inside has this really fun retro vibe with wine bottles decorations. It is a great place for any occasion, families, date night, a big friend group, or even coming alone for a bite. Would recommend if you're in the area and want the real deal.

    Best Detroit style pizza I have had. We ordered cheese and cheese/pepperoni pizza. They put the perfect amount of cheese on top with a delicious sauce and yummy crust. The service was quick. We called and ordered curbside takeout. As soon as we arrived, they came out to the car. Highly recommend.

    First stop on my Detroit Pizza crawl. Second review as I wanted another to compare to. Absolutely fantastic pizza. When I couldn't decide, server recommended a half and half of the meat lovers and pepperoni/mushroom. I managed to stuff myself with 3 out of 4 slices of a small pizza but if I had someone with me, I would have split the pizza and salad potentially. Super friendly service. Great total experience.

    Loui's was a childhood favorite of mine, but I hadn't been in years! We ended up going on a Friday night, and even though the parking lot was absolutely packed, we ended up getting seated right away. The ambiance is exactly as I remember it being. Cozy, familiar, and casual, and the staff was nice and welcoming. I ended up ordering the small cheese, pepperoni, and mushroom pizza with a side of ranch. It was the prefect Detroit style pizza, with crunchy edges and a fluffy crust. And, there was a perfect amount of cheese, sauce, and toppings ratio. The prices were decent and the service was fast. I'm glad I gave this childhood favorite another go!

    Some of the best Detroit pizza, mediocre service, and a stale cannoli. We dined in, and for an old place with character, I will say it was quite clean. We had a large pizza and brought home the other half for lunch tomorrow. It's a good value. The cannoli we brought home and ate nearly immediately was stale and soggy. We will probably order takeout next time and skip the cannoli.

    We wanted good Detroit style pizza and that's what we got. We did a to go order but the inside is a fun looking place. Service was great both at the ordering counter and the outside pickup. $20ish for a larger very cheesy pepperoni pizza with those classic crispy cheese ends. I wish we would have remembered to order a side of sauce because there's never enough on a Detroit style for our liking but it was yummy!

    I really appreciate the system they have where you can call in the order and drive up to pick it up. We ordered one cheese and one pepperoni for pickup. It took about 25-30 minutes as made fresh. They do ask your make and model of your car so that they can associate your order. When we got there, a server came out to our car without us having to call. She was super nice and let us know that they marked the pepperoni pizza with one slice on the corner on top. The people that ate the pepperoni pizza loved it and I enjoyed the cheese. I do feel like I wanted more dough and sauce ratio as I just felt it was mostly cheese. Maybe with more toppings the ratio changes. I did enjoy the flavor though! The larges feed a lot of people because the sizes per piece are hefty. The pizzas were also nice and hot, which is a huge bonus because we also had to bring the pizzas back to the house for others. All in all, I think I just like more sauce and fluffy dough as this was a little dense and heavy. I would absolutely go back though.

    Small meat lovers

    I stopped in for lunch and was glad I did. I got lucky with the parking (it's limited) and found a booth immediately. After a couple minutes, my waitress came and greeted me and I had my food ordered within 5 minutes. As others have said, total blast from the past in here. Very unassuming interior which I can appreciate. My order came out in just under 30 minutes. It was not too busy when I was there, so just a head's up. I ordered a small meat lovers pizza. It was pretty fantastic. The exterior cheese crust was one of the best I've had. Plenty of toppings and lots of cheese. The structural integrity was a bit compromised (I get whey they give you a fork and knife, but Detroit Style pizza is meant to be raw dogged) which made a couple slices tough to eat. Also, these are big slices. I mustered through 3 before tapping out. Going back to the pizza, everything worked so well together and I liked the heavy amount of cheese on it. The bottom crust didn't have a ton of flavor, but that was not noticeable but for a few bites so not a big deal. Overall, I highly recommend Loui's. Better than Michigan and Trumbull (it's close) which many regard to be a top spot in and around Detroit. Very good experience.

    What was left of our pizza
    Courtney E.

    I'm not a Detroit style pizza fan, but it was insanely good. They were able to accommodate our party of 10 on the spot, as well as the several pizzas we ordered. My favorite part of any pizza is the sauce which was very fresh and robust. I would have loved to take home another pizza, it was that good. And our waitress was very funny and hospitable. Loui's is a medium-sized dining room with one TV and a laid back environment. It can get loud as there isn't much to soak up sounds, and voices bounce off the walls. If you're willing to venture outside the city, Loui's should be on your list of eateries to visit. This place was recommended to us by a local.

    every road trip we have to make a stop here to get some cheesy saucy crispy deep dish pizza here! its loaded and the cheese pull never disappoints! my mom gives it a greasy thumbs up too!

    It finally happened. After scouring all of the metro Detroit area for a few years now, trying the so called "best" Detroit style pizzas and failing time after time to be impressed by Detroit's own namesake....ive found the one. Enter Loui's !! Hazel Parks iconic old school pizzeria. What an interesting vibe we got going here. I instantly feel like I've walked into a scene out of The Godfather. No this isn't 1980, but the character remains on full display. A great Detroit style is a delicate balance of thick crispy crust and high quality ingredients. Where most others fall flat, Loui's gets it all right. Sure the pepperoni under the cheese is a little different, but that's more aesthetics. What most stands out is the cheese itself! Clearly the highest quality of Wisconsin brick on full display, and plenty of it. It's a distinct flavor that instantly dances on your tongue! Loui's is the real deal. Now let me be clear....this is not the best Detroit style in the entire country, but it is without a doubt the best in Detroit. And to think this was the last place to try on my list. I guess they say save the best for last?!

    I really enjoyed our dinner here. We didn't hold back and ordered pizza, salad, and cheese sticks. I literally cannot praise the cheese sticks enough. They were amazing. The pizza is great and really filling. I think I only ate 2 pieces. We definitely had plenty of leftovers to bring home. The ambiance of the place has a real nostalgic charm to it. It feels like a slice out of the 70s/80s and that's part of the appeal of eating at Loui's.

    Small antipasto salad
    Kimberly K.

    I'm always skeptical of places claiming to have the best Detroit style pizza. I'm usually left underwhelmed but Loui's pizza is the exception. It's worthy of 10 stars. Absolutely perfect Detroit style pizza with the best tasting crust. It's thick but cooked thoroughly where those caramelized edges have a nice crunch. We got our pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom. Their sauce is delicious and had the right amount on it. Now let's talk about the cheese. Our pizza had so much delicious cheese on it I thought I died and went to cheese heaven. Even splitting the small pizza my friend and I couldn't finish it and took half home. We also shared the small antipasto salad and that was another winner. Big chunks of meat and cheese and thick tomato slices. Their Italian dressing is in-house made and excellent. The ambience is old school Italian. Dark wood paneling, basement bar feeling with bottles of Chianti you can sign and they hang on the walls. Our bartender told us not much has changed over the years and I like that. Next time the pizza craving hits I'll be calling on Loui's to answer the call!

    Can I get this shipped to the Bay area, Northern California? I want to try pizza from all over especially from old school joints like this!

    I don't think they do at this time . Pizza is great !!!

    Are you open for dine in on the weekends now?

    yes, they are.

    Can I just get a side of meatballs? Has anyone had them and are they good?

    Looks like the closest thing on the menu is 3 different kinds of meatball sandwiches. I'm sure you could probably order just meatballs if you were dining in with others and they ordered other food. Because it says extra meatballs (4) with mushrooms…

This is not my first review nor will it be my last. I order delivery. When I went in person one time... they were careless and gave the "heir" that they were snobs and not anxious to serve. That's the ambiance. Nouveau riche. Not attractive. The food is nonetheless consistent.

    I'm going to preface this by saying that I think I might just not be an Italian Beef kinda gal…read more Despite living in Chicago for a full decade I embarrassingly never had one before, but I was near Matt & Mo's and saw the rave reviews and had to give it a try. Now, objectively I can say it's very good. The portions are huge, the meat is flavorful and juicy, the peppers were good. There's just some herb or something mixed in there in the marinade/aus jus, that I just don't think I like (I think it might be fennel? Something kind of licorice-y that I don't jive with). But if you're an Italian beef fan, or enjoy that flavor profile, you're gonna love it! Now, what I did love was everything else! The fried ravioli? Delicious! The french fries? So good! And a very generous portion of both! Service was also VERY friendly and everything was prepared quite quickly! It's a walk up window but there are some picnic tables for dining there, though I chose to eat in my car before making my way back home. I would 100% come back by and go for perhaps a sausage or a coney dog next time, definitely stick with orders of those ravioli and fries, too!

    While cruising through the heart of Royal Oak, I noticed this little deli shop, calling my name…read morepast apartment buildings and local scenery. They have an extensive menu to include vegetarian options which was nice to see. They also have many local brands to include chips, sodas, and other small local business products (caramelized nuts, baked goods, etc.)! On the topic of local businesses, they also had a board which allowed local owners to post business cards and event alerts, fantastic for drawing the community together. Now, I ordered a Reuben as a lover of corned beef and sauerkraut. It was delicious and sizeable, a fair portion size for the money as well. The chips were also delicious having gone for the salt, pepper, and onion variety. A solid crunch and bursting with flavor. Among the positives I have two negatives, both of which are not adequate enough to lower their star ranking. Firstly, it took around 20-25 minutes to get our food after ordering. I rarely hold timing against a restaurant as having worked in food, I know lunch rush exists and things happen. To mitigate this (for those in the area) I believe they have an online ordering system, which I would recommend utilizing! Secondly, they do not have indoor seating, so it is a very grab and go type establishment. This is counteracted by the multitude of benches around Royal Oak, though it would be nice to have some amount of seating, especially for those with accessibility needs and those waiting on their food. Overall, Oak House Deli is solid and delicious and I will definitely stop by again when I am in the area!

Took 30 minutes for a sandwich. But I did get a free pickle.
