I love how it's like a sit in but not exactly, you order and they bring it to your table.The pizza is great and perfect right before the game. read more

We came here before a group outing to a Detroit Pistons game. The food is to be really good here. Now you have to order from a QR code from your table and you don't have a personal waitress/ waiter. The food taste has gone down from a 4 star to a 2 star for me. The pizza was really bland and it felt more like a conveyer line than a meal out. I hope they fix it and turn it back into an enjoyable restaurant. read more

This is a good option if you want a thinner slice of pizza than Little Caesars. I got a slice of cheese and thought it was OK. To me, it was a little dry and a little salty- I like a bit more sauce and meltier cheese. The service experience was pleasant and I liked the decor/vibe. They're big slices for around $11, definitely big enough to split. read more

This used to be the best pizza place under the Little Caesars ownership brand. Now it is the worst. Pizza tastes like cardboard. New ordering system is the worst as it allows for no customization. There are no designated wait staff, only people to bring the food out. Tried to alter my order with the staff but it only made it worse. Staff are nice but they can only do so much. Only plus is that is inside the arena, but pizza in arena tastes better. read more

What can I say about Mike's! Well let me tell you, beats the TapHouse and Mixing board by 100%. From the smiles of the cute manager and how wonderful she is with her staff. The bartenders with laughs that make their customers feel like number one and what can I say about the kiosk pizza and beer girl, that welcoming feeling everyone should receive at LCA. This place stands out, makes you happy, and you feel welcomed, unlike the other restaurants dark and gloomy like the other two. This will now be our new spot. Thank you Mike's pizza staff for making it truly amazing! Season tickets/ Mike's regulars now! read more

The walk up pizza slices are an absolute miss. I've had them on three different occasions (the last two being sober) and I am for sure never paying another cent there. We got there early and grabbed a slice in hopes it would be hot n fresh to be completely underwhelmed by a cardboard texture crust and luke warm temp. You would think they'd be on top of their game for the home opener of the Wings but we thought wrong. read more

The bar tender waited on us and provided excellent service. She gets 5 stars! We started with cheesy bread and a marinara dipping sauce. It was apparent the cheesy bread had been prepared in advance because it was slightly warm rather than hot. I thought the marinara would be hot. It was room temperature. The pizza we ordered was better, but not great. The wine selection was poor so we ordered vodka seltzers by the can. It was nice to be able to get into our concert so easily from the restaurant. read 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. read more

Mike's Pizza Bar - Margherita - Pizza Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

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 read more

Extremely disappointed with the changed menu. As a red wings season ticket holder we've always enjoyed Mikes before games and really enjoyed the pizza but with the changes to the menu and the dough used for the pizza we will be finding somewhere else for our pregame meals. Change it back, or at least the dough. read more

First off the lady in front was very rude and didn't speak and then when we got seated, they sat us in the back of the restaurant away from from the other customers I'll never eat there! Felt a little racist to me and my son..... read more

LOVE THIS PLACE ITS A MUST GO. Meatball sub could do without the bread it is very filling and maybe just have a dish of meatballs everything always amazing here and Tara at the front counter is the best!! read more

I was prepared to be underwhelmed, but I was really pleasantly surprised. The Margarita pizza is good. The other pizzas I saw coming out looked delish. The Caprese salad was beyond a generic Caprese. It had burrata which was yummmmy. The wine lust is pretty good, but they need to add a by the glass Chardonnay. read more

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. read more

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. read more

First thing, there is a bar to grab a drink before being seated. To the fight of that there are pizza slices in case you're hungry too. We get seated quickly, and order through the app. Since it's located in LCA they get your order started with a quickness and it arrived in no time. We got cheese bread and a pizza. The pizza was delicious as was the bread. They don't cheat you on toppings or cheese in Motown. Beers and drinks were a bit pricey, but it's in the arena so it's to be expected. Atmosphere was great and lots of tables to sit at. Will be back. Worth the trip! read more

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. read more

We ate here Sat night before a Red Wings game and had an awesome experience. The most surprising thing about our visit was how great the service was. We were sat quickly, got our food fast, and everyone was really friendly. Mike's has a full bar, great pizza and a surprisingly great chop salad. If you are coming before the game, you can enter on the sw corner of the restaurant. We arrived at 6pm for an 8pm game and were sat by 625 and were eating by 7pm. You can enter LCA right from the restaurant. We had a blast and plan to come again. Definitely a fun place. read more

Excellent!!! Easily the best food/beer option in the best sports arena!! I'm from Toronto but will definitely come back here

I expect very little from a restaurant attached to an arena and Mike's Pizza met the absolute minimum requirement in presenting something called pizza. In a metropolitan area filled with so many excellent pie choices this is by far the worst. They have basically taken frozen french bread pizza, increased the dough size by 25% and then used a q-tip size dollop of sauce before covering it with mediocre amount of toppings and then finishing the torture by charging you way too much for it. I'm so annoyed by this pile of munk that I'm not only not creating new paragraphs but I'm also inventing new adjectives like munk. Bah. read more

Been Waiting for this place to open. Loved their gluten-free pizza, wedge salad and my husband's favorite wings. So disappointed today as we stopped for dinner. No more gluten free pizzas or wedge salads. The wings were subpar compared to their previous wings. I got the gelato and it came with a hair in it!!! Goodbye Mikes it was nice while it lasted. read more

Very disappointed that you can't modify a pizza AT ALL. It's a pizza. Ordering on an app is annoying. First and probably last time here. Also, wanted salad to come out with pizza but no way to do that on the app. Was looking forward to eating here but extremely disappointed. read more

Mike's Pizza Bar - Detroiter - Pizza Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I came here today with some friends for a blogger event. We sampled pretty much the entire menu. All of the appetizers were tried (pizza bites, cheesy breadsticks, wings) were tasty. We tried a few of the salads - I am not a big salad person, but the tomato & mozzarella salad was great - and also ordered a variety of pizzas to share. My favorite pizzas were the sausage and pepperoni deep dish - I'd rank its quality right up there with traditional Detroit-style deep dish, like Buddy's - and the BBQ chicken pizza, which was drenched in a sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. Very tasty. For dessert, we tried out their only dessert on the menu, the s'mores pie, which was also very good, although smaller than I would have expected; it could feed about 2 to 4 people, and we had 6, so we ordered another s'mores pie too. Waitservice was very good, also. I would return here before a game or concert event, it's not an inexpensive place but prices are on par with what I'd expect for Little Caesars Arena. Check out all of the memorabilia on the walls, too, they're fun to see. The restaurant is very stylish, as well, and has a separate entrance near one of the main LCA entrances, if you are planning on eating there when there are no LCA events going on. read more

Shit service, my food came after 5 other peoples at the bar. Missed entry to the show. Definitely will not comeback to this establishment.

This was a late addition to our summer pizza tour. We looked for something near LCA because we were going to the Panic! At the disco on Saturday night. When we first got there the line was out the door so we were concerned we weren't going to get a seat. Wrong, huge inside with plenty of seating. Our waitresses (one in training) were friendly. We ordered beverages, garlic cheese bread and a small round cheese and pepperoni pizza. The garlic bread was crispy and pretty good. The best way to describe the pizza was a couple of steps above Little Ceasars crust with a good sauce. The pepperoni was spaced kind of weird. read more

Went here prior to seeing the Red Wings play. I suppose it's kind of odd as you can enter inside and outside. We entered from the inside. We had to present tickets to get in which was weird - you have to have a ticket to get inside the arena. What made it doubly odd is that we had to go back through security upon leaving the restaurant and present our tickets again. We got on the list for waiting and that was a bit strange too. When we asked where we were at - we were informed that we had only waited 19 minutes out of the 30 we were told. She further mentioned that there was 4 other tables in front of us and she wasn't jumping the line. And then another woman proceeded to bring us to a table that had been empty for a while. This was all weird and did not feel very customer service oriented. However- things turned around a bit after that. The waitress was over quickly. We had decided so she was able to grab our order and bring us drinks within moments. We ordered the Mikes pizza. (Translation- pepperoni and mushroom.) I asked our waitress if we could add green olives and the reply was yes. The "artisan" pizzas are a great deal for around $12- medium pizza- 8 slices. This seemed affordable to me given that you pay $7.50 inside for a cola. The pizza- the crust- freakin amazing! Has a garlic wash over it with herbs that is waaaayyy tasty. It wasn't loaded heavily with pepperoni and mushrooms, more of a scattering. And the green olives were not cooked on the pizza, added as an afterthought- and cold. Overall the pizza had good flavor. Nice alternate to some of the pizza choices in the arena. AND the service was fast and efficient. She didn't effuse friendliness- just accuracy and efficiency. Not a bad spot if you can make it past the hostess stand. Go early- they have long lines. read more

Recently I went to Mike's pizza for a blogger event. Mike's Pizza is a restaurant located within the Little Caesars Arena. It is a prime location for anyone attending an event inside the arena. When I first entered the restaurant, I was a bit taken back by the fact that I had to go through a metal detector and have a security guard look in my purse. There is a good reason for this though. The restaurant leads into the arena and for safety issues visitors go through security measurements. Just FYI. We tried a wide variety of items at Mike's. As far as appetizers, the wings were my favorite and the antipasto salad was my favorite salad. We tried a variety of pizzas and I preferred the deep dish over the traditional crust. We also shared a S'mores dessert pie which was much smaller than I expected it to be. But it was so rich I only needed a small piece. I didn't play very close attention to the prices but I overheard some other bloggers saying they were reasonable for the location. I did purchase a strawberry peach margarita that was tasty but $12 (which is too much money in my opinion). Overall I think Mike's Pizza is a great place to visit before or after an event. The atmosphere is welcoming, there is plenty of seating, and it has a hip sports vibe. If you visit outside of an event, be prepared to pay for parking at a meter or in a lot. During off times, the lot is probably a better deal at about $5. read more

This is just an "upscale" Little Caesar's. They use the same ingredients. Decent menu options but horrible prices considering this is the sane sauce used in $5 hot n readys. My panini was good, but still just overpriced Little Caesar's. I can't comment on the service because I dined here Oct 18 for the Pistons inaugural season opener. While I waited WAY TOO LONG they may still be figuring out the kinks. I may consider returning with a different menu. read more

My friends and I were hungry before a wings game and spotted Mikes Pizza Bar. I was really looking forward to trying this place out but when we got there all the pizzas they were selling by the slice looked Iike they had been sitting there for a very long time. I didn't see a bbq chicken pizza out on display so I figured they would have a fresher one in back. The woman went in back and brought back a slice which looked better than the ones that had been sitting out. We sat down and I bit into it and was very disappointed, it was very tough and very hard to chew. My friend got the Margherita pizza and had the same problem. The main reason I'm giving this place a 3 star review instead of a 1 star is because the waiter brought over some garlic bread to us for free saying "compliments of the house" the garlic bread was excellent and flavorful. Fair warning to customers would be to order inside and wait for them to make the pizza fresh. I would come back and try this place again because the atmosphere was great, the staff pleasant and the garlic bread was very good but they need to do something about the to go pizza especially since the prices are $7-$8 a slice. read more

The service here was outstanding! We were in Detroit for a show on a Wednesday night and were struggling to figure out where to eat. We decided to walk down here to eat. It was empty which was nice. We took a seat and notified our waitress that we didn't have tons of time. She got it right away and was amazing at making sure we didn't feel rushed, but were taken care of timely. She got our drinks right away and refilled them often. I ordered the Antipasto Salad (they didn't have a million salad options, it is a pizza bar) and I just removed the meat from it. Nothing to complain about it. My aunt got the BLT Wedge Salad and the Garlic Cheesy Bread. She said both were amazing. We were so glad we decided to come here before our show. read more

Mike's Pizza Bar - Antipasto Salad minus the meat - Pizza Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Food was good, but not worth the lack of service. I understand being there before a hockey game is busy, however, we had a dirty silverware roll upon seating, didn't have enough plates for our 4 top and couldn't get anybody's attention to ask for another. Asked for water that was never received. The ordering being entirely online and paying AND tipping in advance made everything entirely underwhelming. I like to give a hefty tip for good service, at the end of a meal. that's not a possibility here, you tip when you order and pay for your food. Not to mention, we ordered breadsticks and waited a while (understandable) but the table next to us received them, their cookie was almost placed on our table, server went to their table to give them the cookie, took our breadsticks off of the table and brought them to the kitchen for them to be brought to our table shortly after. I watched it happen, and know from working in restaurants that it's illegal and unsanitary for food to be placed on the wrong table, then served to the correct table. I didn't even try to say anything because the service was not service but food and drinks being dropped off with essentially no words being said. 10/10 will not be returning and would most definitely not recommend to anybody. Drinks and food are ridiculously priced for the lack of pleasant experience. read more

Came to Mike's Pizza for lunch after the NIN physical world presale at LCA, as Mike's was offering 20 % off to people who purchased tickets. I actually ate inside to celebrate my sixth row victory after waiting in line for seven hours for NIN concert tickets but it was pretty nice that staff from Mike's came out to the line, passed out menus and offered delivery to your position in line too. I've heard mixed reviews of Mike's from friends but I was very happy with my experience. One of my friends said she stopped in and that service was exceptionally slow and when she did finally receive her food, they gave her the wrong order and it was even slower to replace her order with the right item and also to receive the check. Another friend went to a blogger event and tried a lot of their food offerings and raved how delicious their food was. So I wasn't really sure what to expect. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a Summer Shandy on tap and it was garnished with a lemon and orange slice. Everything on the menu seemed pretty reasonably priced. Beers on tap were $7, most pizzas were around $11-$12 for traditional thin crust, large enough to split for two. Deep dish was a little more expensive at $14-$18. They had a few apps available on the menu, like wings, bruschetta, meatballs, and cheese bread. I ordered the Mike's Pie, with pepperoni, mushrooms, and mozzarella and muenster blend. The cheese and sauce were very flavorful, had a really nice garlic flavor. Pizza came out fast and the bartender brought red pepper flakes and Parmesan and plenty of napkins and checked in several times. They also had a sour patch kids shot on special for $4, that came in a small plastic LCA commemorative cup to take home. They had a 90s bar crawl going on too so that may have been why it was on special. May also have been why they were playing Good Vibrations, Can't Touch This, No Scrubs and all my favorite 90s jams too. Received my check and a box for my leftovers quickly too. Overall, great tasting affordable pizza, fun atmosphere, fast friendly service. I'd definitely eat here again during my next show at LCA and in my opinion probably is one of the restaurants with the best tasting and more affordable food at LCA. read more

The inside-outside bar was where we chose to sit before the ELO concert at the Little Caesars Arena. We sat on the outside so that we could face into the restaurant and look at the other side of the circular bar. Service started out and stayed good even when people started to pile in. It got a little uncomfortable with people standing behind us trying to order drinks and food. I had a hard time adjusting my tall chair to accommodate. I had the meatball pizza that was equal parts garlic cloves to dried out meatball pieces. I was starving and I ate it even though I was secretly coveting my neighbor's meatball appetizer order. (Full meatballs coated with sauce.) My husband ordered the plain pepperoni pizza. He didn't have much to say about it other than "It's Little Caesars". We noticed that that bar carried a very upscale Macallan (whiskey). Unfortunately, the food did not match the bar selection. read more

I have been putting this off because I though this would be one of those "artisanal" pizza type places where a fancy pie goes for $18. Boy was I wrong. What you get here is ultra high quality, just really really good, pizza. Simple menu with classic toppings for anyone who grew up in Metro Detroit. Appetizers and sandwiches look amazing too. I got the double double and it ran me $13 and I only finished half. Took the rest home for lunch tomorrow. They have the best buttermilk ranch too! They went heavy on the cocktail and light on the wine menus which I think was a mistake. If they can switch those two around I'll give this place 6 stars instead of 5. read more

Horrible service. Me and a friend decided to a try this place out before a concert at the arena and we were not brought drinks until we physically got up and asked not one, but two different staff members for them!! (The first forgot). The pizza was cold and greasy as all hell and the website was extremely confusing. We literally had to ask a crew-member how to pay for our food. I say crew member and not server because we did not have a server. I felt like a neglected child, so if that's your thing they would be a 5/5 in that regard. read more
