Pizza Mambo

Truly one of the best places we ate while in town. How good? We went three times. The pizza is out of this world. They know what they're doing. The beer? Also a 10/10. So many options that really set them apart. Each time we went the folks behind the bar and out at tables were kind and really on it. Finally, the outside area is a gem.

He then proceeded to take everyone else's food order, even though they sat after us, prior to come back to take ours. We finally ordered and they pizza came out. Couple points in the pizza, it was good mind you but each topping is $2.50. If I get bacon on a pizza I'm expecting more than a sparse sprinkling of bacon bits on my pizza for that amount. If you order ham on you pizza they provide a good amount but the pieces of game are pretty large and tend to come off as part of the initial bite. They have a food runner that is delivering the pizzas so we didn't interact with the waiter again, no check in, no asking if we wanted another round of drinks. Multiple attempts to flag him down went ignored, I finally grabbed my own to go box for the left overs. I was finally able to get his attention after he made five trips to fill up a water cooler so that we could pay. Food & Drinks great. Service was dreadful.

Both were pretty good! A bit pricey for a large pizza tho ($29) but it was plenty of food for three people so when you break it down it wasn't too bad.

They have a larger dining room than I was expecting and it was quite nice in there. Very Italian tavern kind of style. They also had a few grab and go things like beer, wine, a bit of snacks, etc. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "market" but it had a few things that were handy if you're in from out of town.

We jumped off the boat, made our way across the street, and sat down outside. Service was a little disjointed/slow, but picked up the pace after we ordered our drinks. Pizza is well-sauced, solid, and has a nice "fold." The (tasty) dip is exactly what you'd expect. The fried ravioli was interesting and had an unexpected crunch. Price point reflects "what you get" and the 'Tuck's summertime hustle/bustle. Our main feedback would be to "punch up" the salads and toppings (see pic). Yes, we understand that the price point will go up. Salad, pizza, and wine is a popular combo and we'd love to see Scooter's enhance their salads.

I have not yet visited Italy but PIZZA MAMBO has to be the next best thing to being there. When you walk in through the outdoor seated area the aroma beckons you and you are instantly transported. A true Jewel of SW Mich, my host ( of the same name) graciously welcomes you all while managing phone orders and pick up orders. I had the Ultimate Carnivore and it did not disappoint. Owners Dave and Tim along with a top notch crew, clearly are meticulous and given to culinary perfection. The Italian sausage has distinct flare amid savory notes of sage and thyme and is shipped in from Chicago. The creamy melted cheeses are from Wisconsin and the stars of the show, the crust and sauce are housemade. Oh did I mention the Tiramisu and key lime pie are world class. You absolutely have to visit. read more

The murals are fun and they feature Iggy, the owners' dog, as well as his namesake, Iggy Pop. The menu is pretty simple with pizza, breadsticks, salads, sandwiches, and dips. I got a large grande pizza (homemade italian sausage, savory roasted broccoli, sweet & spicy pepper relish, red sauce) and an order of cheesy garlic bread. The food came out and I was so excited because it looked and smelled amazing. The pizza was huge and we had leftovers for days. I loved the charred broccoli and slightly spicy peppers. The crust was the perfect thinness and held up well to the toppings. The cheese bread was SO CHEESY and delicious--I love sesame so it made me happy that it was a sesame bread. The red sauce it came with for dipping was mouth-wateringly delicious and bursting with fresh tomato flavor. I chatted with the manager for a bit and he was so pleasant and kind.

When I went up to the counter to order, the prices that rang up were more than the prices we had seen, and more than the prices on their digital menu above the register. Our bread came relatively fast as an appetizer normally does, but we waited over 45 minutes for our pizza. The 2 ladies in front of us who ordered right before me, had gotten their pizza, eaten, and left. So we got up and asked how much longer it would be. The girl at the front went into the kitchen and brought out our pizza. It was warm and steaming, but compared to the temperature of the bread when we had received it, you could tell it had been sitting for at least 10 minutes. While we were eating, a lady also noticed the prices and complained to the girl at the front. The girl then stated "You have no idea how many times I've already heard that." Also, while we were eating, a customer came back in and returned his two pizzas and asked for a refund. The pizza was as expected and we did enjoy it, but it was not worth $30 ($28+tax) for a two person deep dish along with the 45 minute wait. (The receipt shows how we were charged $13 for the bread, and if you see other pictures on their Yelp page, it's only listed as $7. The pizza we got also was $3 more than the listed price on their digital menu in the restaurant.)

The onions completely ruined the sandwiches, and we ended up throwing both of them away after only a few bites. While I appreciated the kindness of the employee who took our sandwich order, the slow service, unfriendly interaction at the coffee counter, and disappointing food left us with an overall mediocre experience. I'm giving 3 stars because there was one bright spot with the friendly employee, but I don't think we'll be back.

It is, in fact, a tiny "general store" that is inconspicuous and easily missed. It sits right on a two-lane coastal "highway," barely 1/4 mile from Lake Michigan, but would just as likely be found in some backwater Alabama swamp (not an insult, just an ambience). They have a small deli in the back and the young unassuming young guy making pizzas and other baked goods. He seemed nice, albeit so what suspicious. There was also a quintessential old farmer-type playing lottery scratch-offs by scratching off the barcode without actually playing the game on the front, then communicating with the cashier woman on a first name basis (Sarah). What a weird experience. I'm always interested in the colorful characters these tiny little towns and their stores. The pizza? Some of the best I've found south of Holland. The sauce had a hint of sweetness, and the crust had a couple of semi burnt bubbles that added to the delicious crunch of the crust. The taste may not be worthy of a five, but certainly a Midwest tiny-town-in-the-middle-of-nowhere five, and certainly worth a visit for pizza, miscellaneous baked goods... or beer, wine, and lottery.
