I'm trying to refrain from using too many superlatives in my reviews. When it comes to this pizza restaurant, I'm not sure what to say. That doesn't involve any superlatives. This is really delicious pizza. We are blessed in this area with a lot of great Pizza, and obviously a lot of great Detroit style Pizza, however, this place does set the bar very high. It's obvious the ingredients are fresh and it's equally obvious that those that prepare this Pizza really care about what they're doing. They also have some really good gelato! This place is well worth it. read more

First time visiting Michigan and my friend who is local wanted to try this place. I'm not a huge pizza fan to begin with but photos looked promising. The building is super cute, staff were really friendly. Unfortunately, can't say that I'm impressed by the pizza. My friend and I both ordered the Hot Honey Ricotta-Roni, one as is and the other no meat. We both felt the pizza lacked sauce and flavor. There was more bread to eat through than toppings and that was disappointing. For the pizza where no meat was requested and they said they couldn't do a substitution, you would've thought they'd add extra cheese or whatever other sauce they put on the pizza. I did request this over the phone but the background was extremely loud, so it may have been missed. Overall, the next time I visit Michigan, I'd be interested in trying another of their vegetarian pizzas to give it a shot. Thanks to the staff for being so friendly. read more

I've seen so much hype about this place, so I had to try it for myself. The pizza is very good. Is it the best I've had? No. Is it a top 3 Detroit Style pizza? Yes. I ordered ahead of time and was shocked at how busy it was when I went to pick it up at opening. I ordered the double pepperoni pizza and a pepperoni cheese bread. My order was ready within a few minutes of when it was scheduled for so that was good. The cheese bread was fine. It was a little dry which isn't the best lol. Could have used a bit better pepperoni distribution as well. The pizza was very good. I liked the cup n char pepperoni a lot. Solid frico on the crust. Dough had nice flavor and I liked the proportions given. Would I drive 40 minutes total for this again? Probably not. I'm glad I tried it though because it is very good. read more

Their pizzas are good! They are hands down better than Jets, and a couple of slices will fill you up easily. Staff are cool too. Second time trying this place and I like how they are consistent. Be aware though, they will sell out closer to closing time, so order earlier. My biggest complaint is that the edges of the deep dish are pretty stiff so it scratched up the roof of my mouth pretty good. Which I get the texture might be a part of the appeal but my mouth didn't appreciate it the next day. Now onto what we ordered (we had a pizza party btw, didn't order this all for myself). My favorite was the Carne Supreme - great take on a meatlovers pizza. Perfect amount of meat and the marinara on top helps cut through the richness of the protein. I'm also a fan of the sausage they used, way better than the typical Italian sausage you see on pizzas. Next up is the Hot Honey Ricotta-roni - it's a good hot honey pizza. The ricotta is nice and on the lighter side, wish there was more basil, and the heat from the hot honey was spot on. My third favorite was the Maui Wowi - I like some heat and the jalapenos were just the right amount. The BBQ sauce added some sweet to it, but it felt like an overwhelming amount to the point that I couldn't taste the ham underneath. Lastly the Maui - felt like a good Hawaiian pizza. Nothing special, I did like the contrast between the acidity from the marinara and pineapples to the ham. Overall a good pizza joint. Will order again some time after the roof of my mouth's healed. Worth trying! read more

Hands down, best Detroit pizza I've ever eaten in my life. No competition. A couple things to know are that it's takeout only so no seating inside and it does take a while to pickup, but it is so, so worth it. Our group each got their own small pizza because there were just too many amazing flavours to agree. I got the pesto-roni which was just fantastic. The crust was perfectly golden and has the right amount of oil to be tasty but not greasy. The crispy edges were to die for. One member of our group has celiac disease and they took it very seriously, placing her pizza in a different box and making sure there wasn't cross contamination. read more

We ordered in advance right when the business opened up at 4pm. We were the first people there to pick up our order and by time we left there was a line out the door! The hours are very limited so it is always busy. We ordered 2 small Nashville hot chicken and hot honey ricotta pizzas. Both were absolutely loaded with toppings. The hot honey was our favorite with huge dollops of ricotta in every bite. The Nashville hot chicken was not necessarily hot but the sauce, chicken, and pickles were like a chicken sandwich on pizza. Very unique. The only downside for both was there was not a lot of sauce and they do not fully cut the pizza. Overall this place has extremely solid pizza and was reasonably priced for what you get. We liked the hot honey ricotta the best but would recommend getting an extra side of sauce. Its nice to see that they constantly switch up their menu too. I wish they would have better salad options- the pictures online look disgusting. read more

Palazzo Di Pizza - Nashville hot chicken pizza and hot honey ricotta pizzas - Pizza Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Palazzo Di Pizza hit my feed on social media with their Bad Brads collab. I love brisket and pizza, so this was a no brainer. The storefront is set back just off of 11 mile on the corner of S Blair Ave, in Royal Oak. A quaint little carryout shop with a pretty small parking lot. The sign is impossible to miss. The staff was all extremely friendly and personable. My pizza was ready when I walked in, so my experience in the store was pretty short lived. Although I noticed that it was clean and well lit. The PDP x Brad Brads was incredible. You could taste the quality of the brisket and the sausage was great. Their webpage lists the following ingredients: Palazzo Cheese Blend, Chopped Brisket, Smoked Cheddar Brisket Sausage (contains pork), Pepper Jack Cheese, 321 Sauce, Smoked Jalapeño Sauce, Pecorino Romano and Parmesan Reggiano The pizza tasted great and all the ingredients/sauces worked well together. It was a Detroit style pizza with a good ingredient to bread ratio. The crust was perfectly toasted with just a touch of char. Overall excellent pizza. My only complaint is the price. I am not above paying for good food, but $20 for a four square (small) pizza seemed a touch high, even with the collab. To be honest though, I would get it again. It was that good. read more

Genuinely, whole-heartily, the greatest Detroit-style pizza I have had thus far in Metro Detroit. It's authentic, bright, delicious and crunchy all at the same time. And I am amazed by how BOLD the service is. The co-owner Robert (I believe) was there and he was incredibly warm and polite, we had a conversation about... I forgot. But I remember feeling very happy walking out. I came into pick up my Square Margarita pizza and lo and behold, it was in the pizza-cutters hand at that very moment, fresh out of the oven! And now that I say that, I remember me and Robert's conversation. He was basically just flexing on me that they make great time, which they do, which is probably why they're top 50 in the entire country. He goes over to the gelato station after I got my pizza, and he surprised me. I asked if I could split the Pistachio and the Stracciatella, to which he grinned, and said this: "Hey bro, usually we don't split the flavors, but I gotchu." I was so happy. But I thought I'd note in this review, I don't think everyone is automatically allowed to split flavors just because I did it. Anyways, I wasn't expecting much of the gelato since I kinda just came for the pizza. When I tell you. I wish I could apologize to my great grandmother up in heaven, with a tear in my eye as I tell her she doesn't have the best gelato recipe. The first spoonful of the Italian Pistachio Gelato is genuinely a bucket-list experience. I beg anyone who's coming here for their pizza to please at-least TRY the gelato, you cannot leave Palazzo without it. In regard to the inside experience, it's very small, and they run with a very tight kitchen. I definitely mess with the system, and I also feel like it doesn't need to be super big or anything. I think the food honestly speaks for itself, which I love. I love food spots that don't prioritize flashy looks and quaintness over the actual food. Not that every good looking place is bad and vice versa, but YOU ARE going to a food spot just for the food, not to look around. Right? Well if you aren't that kinda person, Palazzo Di Pizza will change your life. The food is gorgeous to every sense in the human body, the people are ill of kindness, and Palazzo Di Pizza might just be the greatest place I have reviewed on Yelp. But only time will tell. FIVE OUT OF FIVE. EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. PALAZZO, FOREVER read more

Omg this pizza is soooo good. It's been on my list for a while now but seeing it on the top 50 pizza slices list made me finally try it! We got a small hot honey/whipped ricotta/pepperoni and some cheese bread and holy cow I totally see why it got that accolade. They give the hot honey on the side so you can control how much you have, and the sweetness and heat perfectly complements the sweetness of the ricotta and the spice of the pepperoni. I love Detroit style pizza and this is a good one!! Can't wait to come back and try other pies. As other reviewers said, I would definitely recommend ordering far ahead. I scheduled my order for that evening a few hours ahead and had no issues but there was a few people still waiting for their orders when I arrived. IMO, the cheese bread wasn't anything crazy special, but the sauce is really good. read more

Wow that's good! I can see why this place is in the top 50 pizza slice in the country! We ordered online and they sent us a message that they were extra busy, we waited about an hour and it was ready when we picked up. Small spicy sausage and pepper pizza. The chunks of Italian sausage are incredible! I like that it's sliced thick and not crumbles. A lot of flavors from the peppers, onions and sausage. The sauce is great and I like that they dollop it on top of the slices instead of soak the crust. The crust is covered in the cheese so it keeps its crisp well. The pick up area is located in a parking lot making for convenient pick up and they even have gelato as well. So many incredible pizza options! I can't wait to try the hot honey and Nashville hot chicken pizzas. read more

Stumbled upon looking at the good reviews here on a Sunday evening as soon as they open. Their parking lot was already full while we reached 15-20min post their opening time. The pizzas we ordered were one of the best we have tried in this area. Crust was thick and had a lot of flavor, toppings and cheese bend in perfectly. Definitely a pizza place to come back to for more to gos as this is a small little place only meant for take outs read more

I tried the viral hot honey ricotta pizza from Palazzo Di Pizza. The ricotta was bland and really didn't add anything to the flavor. The hot honey was unique, very honey forward with a strong spicy kick, but overall the combo just didn't wow me. On the positive side, the pizza was cooked perfectly with a great crust. Next time I'd stick with a regular pepperoni. read more

Not sure what all the hype is about. Yeah it's good pizza but not something to go crazy over. To me it's just standard.

Pizza is insane. No doubt about it. I'd highly recommend the caprese pizza to my fellow friends who don't love meat on their pizza. However, expect to be waiting another 30 min for your food even after your pick-up time. Also, the staff seemed very inconvenienced by every customer who walked through the door during the dinner rush. No where to sit down. You pick up your pizza and leave. Perfect for a movie night in. read more

What do you look for in a pizza? If it's thick, crunchy, almost garlic-bready like crust and a variety of savory toppings, Palazzo Di Pizza is the probably best in the area (and I've had them all). Unlike competitors in the area, they're consistently high quality and it's clear that they take pride in their work. The dough is well proofed, the sauce and toppings are evenly proportioned, and the specialty options are plentiful. On the basis of pizza quality alone, they're 5 stars. I'm dinging them a star because they're extremely busy and the long waits (upwards of an hour or more on gameday) can be frustrating. I hate not giving them 5 stars because I've been supporting them since they opened but the level of customer service has suffered as of late. It's one of the growing pains of being a high quality small business. I still would highly recommend you check them out if you're in the market for some Detroit style pizza. read more

The best pizza I've ever had - & quite frankly nothing comes close. I've tried many pies @ Palazzo Di Pizza throughout my time living in Michigan (pepperoni, BBQ chicken, Hawaiian to name a few) & despite how different each pie may be, they're all phenomenal. Service is prompt, lobby is clean. You simply cannot ask more of a pizza joint. Eat here - you will NOT regret it! read more

I'm literally writing this review from my car outside of Palazzo Di Pizza after tearing right into our pizzas because I couldn't wait to rave about it. My husband and I drove just over an hour today to try Palazzo Di Pizza, as we've been dying to try for a while now. 10/10 it was amazing! I could not be happier! I got the Dill Pickle Pizza which was a dream come true. I've had a few different dill pickle pizzas and none of them come close to comparing to Palazzo Di Pizza's. The crispy cheese edges all around and the depth of flavor in the sauce, the texture of the crust and the cook of the overall pizza is genuinely perfect. My husband agreed, too. He got the Hot Honey Ricotta-Roni pizza and they were nice enough to only put ricotta on one slice, since he doesn't normally like ricotta but wanted to give it a try. They don't usually do this but it was so incredibly kind that they did that for him- especially considering just how busy they were. Full disclosure: we ordered at 4:35 on a Saturday evening and were warned that it would be a 2 hour wait. Totally fine by us, as there are many places to explore and it was a beautiful evening to kill time around town. It was worth every minute of the wait and I totally understand why it was so busy. Quality was not compromised in the SLIGHTEST, and neither was the kindness, generosity, or professionalism of the staff. Everybody was very inviting, helpful, and it was just an awesome experience. We will certainly be making the drive out there again! read more

The best pizza crust in town! Since Pizza Piesano's closed on Washington many moons ago, I haven't found pesto that compared. This does it! I love the Chicken Pesto with grape tomatoes!

First.. most importantly .. ALWAYS ORDER THE GELATO!! I looked up a pizza place near our Airbnb and this came highly rated. I ordered online but went to pick up and it was quick. This is a small family owned pizza shop. Everyone there was so kind and the owner was so welcoming. Employees even called him dad. Soooo sweet. I got a Detroit style pizza with pick your own toppings and two things of gelato (banana and chocolate something). The pizza was phenomenal but much larger slices than I expected. My boyfriend and I could've been just fine with a small 4 slices! I see why this place is rated so highly. If you want authentic Detroit style pizza, this is a must try!! Gelato was a nice add on. Do not regret it lol I wish I had more! read more

I logged on to order food for my wife and I. Large pizza and a cheese bread. Total came to $29. The website told me I had to spend another $1.00 to make it $30 to proceed with the order. A minimum amount of money to spend? I've never heard of this and it's a stupid business policy. I'll spend money, no problem; But when I'm forced to spend a bare minimum for pizza, nah, I'm out. read more

This little place is clean and super busy. Make sure you know when your pizza is actually going to be ready. I had the sweet and spicy bbq chicken. The chicken was by far the best I've ever had on a pizza. A nice amount of bbq sauce, and not too spicy. It could use some pickled or plain jalapeños. The crust was the best. read more

I so wanted to love this place because I love supporting small businesses. I love pizza more than any other food; I could live on nothing but pizza for the rest of my life so I do consider myself an expert. After reading the other reviews I was super excited to carry out here. It was just ok. Even though it's deep dish, (which I normally love!) the crust was dry and flavorless. It was evident that they use quality ingredients for the toppings but the flavor just didn't hit the mark for me. It's rare that I ever meet a pizza I don't love (even Speedway pizza!) I'm sad to report I didn't love this pizza. read more
