    Such a great spot. What's better than pizza and beers?! Oh yeah, having it at the Redwings Arena. Fun environment, friendly staff, fresh food and more

    I was a big fan of their margarita pizza. I was not the biggest fan of their meatballs or antipasto salad. Although you can sit down and eat your food, there are really no servers around. The staff takes turns on expo and running the food out. The restaurant is clean and very large. Great spot to check out before heading into a sports game or concert.

    Lemon drop with grenadine

    This is my favorite spot to go to when attending a concert at Little Caesars arena. I just found out you can enter from the street/don't have to be attending an event there. Came here to post up before the Megan Thee Stallion concert. Got there about two hours before the show started, had to go through metal detector and then we were in. There was barely anyone inside when we arrived and we grabbed seats at the bar. Thank God for being a Timely Tammy because about 30 minutes after sitting down I looked out the window and the line to get inside was looooong! My sister and I each had a four square pizza. I had the Detroiter with sausage instead of hamburger and she had something with hot honey. We also had lemon drops. The pizza at Mikes is some of the best I've ever had and it hits every time! The crust is fluffy with crispy edges, topping generous and just an all around delicious bite. Our lemon drops were good and strong, just how I like lol

    Detroit style pizza -- where have you been all my life. My company and I made our way to the Red Wings game with no plan for food in mind. Luckily we stumbled upon Mike's Pizza Bar. Immediately you're immersed in a fun and inviting pre-game atmosphere. Cold draft beer, pizza and a slew of appetizers, yes please. We decided to split the Detroiter (square pan deep dish with fire roasted jalapeños, spicy pepperoni, red sauce, mozzarella blend) and the garlic cheesy bread (baked bread brushed with garlic butter, topped with mozzarella blend, parmesan cheese and served with pizza sauce). Man, completely speechless how great both tasted. The crusty edges of the dough nestled around mounds of spicy old world pepperonis and roasted jalapeños.. these flavors just simply slapped. The garlic cheese bread was legit the best I've ever had. Washing it down with the local M-43 IPA made this experience unforgettable. I don't know if I'll ever be back in Detroit but I'm left with one hell of an impression.

    Italian sausage pizza
    Ashley G.

    Decided to eat here with family before attending an event at Little Caesars Arena. Arrived around 1pm right at opening time so the place was pretty empty. We were seated at a high top in the middle of the restaurant. The place looked clean and was appealing to the eye. Rather than a traditional menu, you scan the QR code and put in your order that way. I have mixed feelings about this because I feel like in general staff aren't as attentive when things are set up this way. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of options on the menu. Really quite limited and not super appealing. It is a pizza joint after all, but my friend wanted pizza and I figured there's usually other menu options at pizza places. Nothing really stood out to me on the menu. I was also disappointed that I couldn't order by the slice since I was paying for my own food; the other three were together and one pizza wasn't likely going to cut it for four of us. However, a one-topping pizza was like $13 so I just decided to order a whole pizza and could live with not taking the leftovers with me for that cheap price. I was surprised by how fair the pricing was given that this is attached to LCA. We ordered cheesy bread and it was gooey and delicious. The pizza is okay. It's a thin crust that isn't great but the cheese and toppings are good. My Italian sausage was divvied up a little odd- there was a couple of pieces with little to no topping and then other pieces had tons of sausage. No big deal, I could pick and choose which pieces to eat. Now if we were all sharing and wanted sausage, that'd be a little disappointing. It was not the best pizza I've ever had but for $13, it was definitely satisfactory. Staff were friendly but no one checked on us or asked if we needed refills until we were getting ready to leave. With my pizza, a soda, and a 20% tip I ended up paying $19ish total. Very fair. Overall, I'm in no rush to go back but also not opposed to returning.

    S'mores pie
    Stacy K.

    Coming here for me is a treat! It is on my list of places I love to go when I am in the LCA vicinity. But truth be told, I came here for the S'mores pie! I came here once before and had the pizza rolls. They are wonderful! My daughter had the meatball tower appetizer, which was delicious. Plus, we ordered a small square pizza. This time, we had three grinders, two meatball, and one Godfather. They are wrapped in pizza dough and painted in greasy parmesan goodness. It comes with a bowl of bow tie noodle salad. It was so gooey, crispy, and delicious, it even tasted phenomenal the next morning for leftover breakfast. They are cooked to perfection in a pizza oven. We also had a small square chicken and green pepper pizza, which was tasty. They have a nice drink menu with plenty of craft beers. I had the Perrin blackberry, which is a favorite, and not always easy to find. The staff worked very hard, refilling the waters, picking up the dishes, and checking in on their customers. The decor is fun. It is a great place for families or friends to hang out before or after an event. The S'mores pie was delicious. It could have been a little hotter and a little gooier, but it was like a skillet cookie with chocolate and marshmallows broiled on top. It was worth coming here for dessert! As far as the prices go, they are very decent for a stadium restaurant! They are no more expensive than an average night out at an equivalent restaurant, which is nice, they are not price gouging the customers at an event. The beer is also cheaper in here than inside LCA, so it was a good choice to have a drink here first. All in all, this is a restaurant I crave. I would love to see them expand and perhaps open up another location outside the entertainment district.

We also tried the fried chicken muffaletta sandwich and burger with tots and crinkle fries. The chicken sandwich is really tasty if you like olives, which I do. It came out on a nice seeded bun freshly fried and hot. Yum. Hubby enjoyed the burger and added bacon - they have really nice thick sliced bacon. It was cooked perfectly with a nice soft bun. I'm pretty sure the fries and tots are just frozen and presented well - at $11 and $12 for those, you might just skip those and get the meatball parm sliders because they're seriously delicious. I plan to return just for those - they're the best thing on the menu. Homemade patties and sauce; top notch. But, the crinkle fries do come with this yummy homemade malted mayo as well as ketchup, and I really enjoyed that. The tots are dusted with a spicy salty seasoning which made them maybe a touch too salty. Both of those came out super hot and crispy though, which I definitely appreciate. Overall, a very tasty meal that had care put into it. The host and server were both very friendly and our service was perfect. It's a little pricey for bar food, but at least it's good bar food, and you can't beat the ambiance for sports. Solid.

I can see how it would be fun to come here with a group.

Fair to say the Asian Chicken Salad is good, but not great. It's a massive portion with plenty of Napa cabbage and spinach, providing that much-needed crunch. However, the grilled chicken was a bit of a letdown--it really needed more flavor and seasoning to hold its own. The saving grace and clear highlight were the spiced cashews. They actually had some personality and stood out as the best part of the dish. It's a solid enough choice if you're looking to stay on the healthy side while hanging out in a sports bar, but it's not a "must-order. Plenty of screens for sports viewing, and lots of beers on tap (obviously), staff service was good.

She's in poor health, and in the chaos of leaving home I forgot to bring something to wrap her nighttime medication in. Since TAP has turkey sandwiches on their menu, I explained that I was a hotel guest and asked if they could spare a small piece of turkey - just enough to wrap a pill in for an elderly dog upstairs. A kitchen worker (who was very nice, by the way) offered to check, but the chef refused outright. Not "this is against XYZ policy," not "we're too busy," just a flat no. I was standing right there for the entire exchange. Anyone genuinely suited to a hospitality role would have recognized this as an easy moment to generate some goodwill, but instead, the chef shut it down without a second thought. I spent a lot to stay at the MGM Grand Detroit Hotel, and this interaction left a genuinely negative impression of MGM overall. It made an already difficult day worse. I truly hope the individual who refused this request can one day recognize that hospitality is built on moments exactly like this.
