This is my favorite pizza in the entire state of Michigan. My rec is to get a pizza with double cheese and pepperoni with breadsticks and cream cheese dip. Is my order basic? Yes. It is amazing and has yet to fail me? Also yes. They can get busy on weekends but the service is always immaculate. Good hometown pizza joint that's the best around! read more

Great food great service Always my family's favorite Never disappointed Speedy service read more

The. Best. I shouldn't need to say more, but Yelp is picky, sometimes. This is the go-to place when we are serving friends and family from out of town. They're an Ortonville jewel. read more

Great pizza! We always have the nicest service there as well. Their pizza is a bit cheesy so I always ask for light cheese and it is perfect

This is the best hometown pizza around! Family owned & community operated. They have the best three way combo, you get 2 pizzas, Breadsticks cheese & awesome salad, that feeds at least six. Their BLT pizza is to die for, everything else is great too! Super size portions, you won't be disappointed. The owner gives back, he goes above & beyond for the students & community. Our go to for parties, they will come in early when notified in advance! Papa Bellas & crew, keep up your high standards! read more

Hands down the best Detroit style pizza I've had. Probably the 7th time I've had pizza from here. Every time I come to the Detroit area, if I'm close enough to Ortonville, I'm stopping by here for a square pizza. Ham sausage and bacon is the way to go! The sauce and cheese used on their pizzas are amazing quality! read more

Been going here for years, what happened? Everything toasted awful Greek salad was lettuce,tomatoes and cucumbers? Pizza was oily and bland,won't be going back read more

Best pizza in Oakland County. Carry out or delivery only though. Friendly employees who go above and beyond. They support the local community and are family owned. read more

Subs and cheese bread are outstanding, great small town business. Salads and the ranch dressing are a great pairing. Staff are always friendly and helpful. read more

Both round and square pizzas are great. Square is true Detroit style. Affordable prices and great to support a small local family owned business. During Covid times they had a drive up system that was nice. Now that the lobby is open you can see all employees masked and everything is clean. read more

Good pizza. Business takes care on COVID. Curbside delivery well-handled, brought out by a woman wearing a mask and handed through the car window. Well done! Think-crust BLT pizza was awesome! read more

The best people the best pizza. Couldn't say enough good things about Papa Bella's Pizza!

Delicious, they really make a great pizza! I believe they are family friendly nice little place right in town!!

My wife and I moved to Goodrich in 2018 and it took a while to find really good pizza, we tried all the chains and all the locals we could find, Papa Bella's is the best pizza we have found, don't waste time and money searching around, get your pizza from the best, in my opinion that would be Papa Bella's. read more

Great pizza. Great service Been there several times and never been in happy with the pizza salad or Bread sticks read more

Very good pizza awesome customer service. Great taste local business,I'm always looking to support local shops.

My family and I have lived in the Ortonville area for 15 years. Papa Bella's is awesome pizza for a great value! Both the round and Detroit style are super good! There isn't a better value for your money around. What I just ordered would have cost double at another pizza place named after aeroplane engines. The only thing I would change is fresh mushrooms instead of canned! They also employ local teenagers, that warms my heart as my first job was at a local privately owned non franchised pizza place. Supposed local and love some Papa Bella's! read more

Support a small hometown business. The pizza and young staff , all crammed in a quaint small old space will make you glad you did.

Easily the best pizza I've ever had, it's WELL worth the money for pizza this good. They could make the cheese stay on the pizza better but considering how good this pizza really is, I'm still leaving 5 stars. read more

So delicious!!! When near the area ... we have to get a pizza!! We love it!! And they are all so great , friendly and helpful!!

Papa Bella's is the best! Best pizza in the area, especially the deep dish with garlic Parmesan crust.

This is your classic pizza place. Pizza is always good and the staff is very friendly. Never any complaints!

Best pizza around, every time! Cheat code: Square extra sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon.

Homemade, reasonable prices, excellent service, and top quality ingredients make PapaBella's Pizza superior to all other pizza. I worked here for years as a teenager and have since moved to Washington DC. For 8 years I have been searching for something as good as PBP but nothing can be found. The owners, Mark and Joe, constantly give back to the community and on the daily strike deals for Ortonville, kids baseball teams, and parties. For years, I witnessed Mark and Joe put in extra hours, cook pizzas exactly like each customers wants. If you want something really really good go for the square pizzas with pepperoni- it will change your life! Don't bother with a cheap chain pizza store, with old ingredients, capitalize on a homemade pizza! Perfectly imperfect... read more

The BLT Pizza is the bomb highly recommend and the Cheese pizza is like no other. The crust are like bread sticks there so yummy. The bread sticks are really good tho. Make sure to get the BLT Pizza, Cheese pizza and bread sticks. read more

Tried Papa Bella's for the first time tonight after the restaurant generously provided a tour and free pizza to my daughter's kindergarten class. She raved about the pizza! I really enjoyed the pizza and the experience. The owner even helped me carry everything to my car. I love this type of small town small business touch. They clearly use fresh ingredients because you see cases of lettuce, etc. when you order a salad, it is a generous size and it has all been cut fresh - not the pr- made salad mixes that I can buy at Meijer. The dressing tasted homemade and the greek was perfectly proportioned with toppings and cheese, etc. We liked our pizza a lot! You buy 2 pizzas at a time here which works great for our family! The bread was delicious and not greasy. The mushrooms were fresh, not canned. The pepperoni was the thick yummy kind. We will be getting pizza from Papa Bella's again and again! Delicious. My advice to you if you are passing through town since PB has no tables - carry your food around back to the lovely shaded city park / playground and eat under the pavilion while the kids run around on the enclosed playground. It has no tall structures and is safe and fun for all ages! Enjoy ! read more

Some of the best pizza you will ever eat! The crust is hearty and hand tossed, the toppings are piled on, and the owners know a lot of the customers by name. Take out only. Be sure to try their BLT pizza. It's a favourite! read more

Stopped in here while in Michigan. Love this pizza. If you want a good non-chain pizza this is the place. I got a 5 wing and a large pizza deal. Both were good. Great crust, cheese and all the ingredients. read more

I'm from Seattle, WA and my husband took me to his home state of Michigan. One of the things he wanted me to try was Papa Bellas' because "it's probably the best pizza you'll ever have." So far, it's true! My husband worked here as a teenager and knows the amount of detail Joe and Mark (owners) put into the ingredients and recipes. Every time we come back to visit his family, this is the first place we eat at! My favorite is a square pepperoni pizza with extra square sauce on the side, but I love the BLT, too. I wish we lived closer so I could try more of the menu items! read more

Update: we ordered again and there was a great improvement with the phone service & they got the order correct. Thank you! Food is amazing but delivery & phone service is AWFUL. Tonight is the second time they forgot our salad dressing (even after reminding them about forgetting it last time). They also had to credit our account last time bc they forgot breadsticks as well. The girl that took our order tonight was clearly annoyed and didn't want to be working, which is unprofessional & rude, which is unfortunately the norm when placing orders. We'll still order bc pizza delivery options are limited & the food is that good, but moving forward we'll be having them drive forgotten items back to our house. Please work on manors and attention to detail. read more

My favorite pizza place! Love their BLT pizza and their Charlie bread! It's real good with real ingredients... fills my family up! Kind and helpful staff and loacted in downtown Ortonville, which I love! read more

My husband and I recently have had the spinach pizza and loved it! We always order Papa Bella's when we have company over and everyone loves it. read more

Great pizza!! Breadsticks are next level, amazing! Fresh and big portions. Fast and great customer service

We ordered a deluxe, square pizza and it was absolutely delicious. One of the best tasting pizzas I've ever had. The owner was incredibly fun and gregarious. I've heard excellent things about the subs, as well. read more

PBP beats all franchised pizzas. For us, it's between the specials (super specials get a few more toppings), veggies, and hawaiian (with extra pineapple)... Their fresh tomato paste/sauce may take a little to get used to at first, if you are used to franchised pizza sauces. Now I don't bother looking anywhere else for pizzas. read more

Delicious local pizza joint. Their square pizzas are the best. Breadsticks are always delicious along with their garlic cheese dip. A locals favorite! read more

Pretty awful stuff. Strange flavor like you never had on a pizza before. One of the owners is quite odd; you can't miss him because by the size of him he must be eating these strange pizzas 24/7 read more

Agreed. This is everything you want in a local place. They're known for their square pizza, but the round is delicious too. Try a round, light cheese with pepperoni and jalapeños--outstanding! read more
