The pizza has this really good sweet-and-spicy sauce, and I loved the honey butter crust--so good. Everything was delicious and I'd definitely recommend it.

I don't know what this man's intentions were, but he could've came up to me and just simply asked "are you doing okay? is there anything i can do for you?" instead of scooping me out as if i was getting ready to commit a crime. as I spend more time being back in my home in Detroit, i'm just not understanding why it's too difficult to receive decent and humane customer service. i'm just in complete concern & dismay due to this experience, do so much better.

It was a typical Tuesday night and, as usual, I was watching Food Network when I stumbled across an…read moreepisode of Top 10 ranking the top pizza spots in the country. Coming in at #9 was Grandma Bob's in Detroit, Michigan. Since I already had a trip to Detroit coming up, I decided I had to add it to my list. I skipped the Lobster Pizza and created my own topping combination instead. Listen... I only made it through 3 of the 6 slices of this Detroit-style deep dish goodness. This pizza was amazing. Thick but not heavy, completely different from Chicago deep dish. Cheesy, buttery crust perfection. Detroit and Grandma Bob's ... you did not disappoint. #TeamFatAndHappy

Dear reader, Grandma…read moreBob's in Detroit was such a good find and very much the sort of place that makes you immediately understand why people keep talking about it. I got the mushroom Detroit-style pizza and absolutely loved it. The crust was beautifully crispy, the toppings tasted fresh, and the whole thing had that rich, satisfying quality that makes you slow down a bit and appreciate what is happening. Quite a triumph, really. I also really appreciated how many vegan options they had, including vegan pizzas and milkshakes, which feels both thoughtful and refreshingly modern without making a fuss about it. It makes the menu feel more fun and more inclusive, which is always a point in a place's favour. The prices were great, everyone working there was extremely nice and friendly, and the restaurant itself was decorated in such a cool way. It had a great vibe, stylish without being try-hard, and felt like somewhere you could happily settle in and stay a while. Overall, a thoroughly delightful stop and one I would gladly return to.

We sat at one where another group was sitting at the other end. The service was great and they constantly came outside to check on us and refill our waters and take our old plates away. We ordered charred broccoli (forgot to get a photo, but it was good), and the packard pepperoni pizza, which had pepperoni, jalepenos, and house-made hot honey. It was so delicious! I love that the center dough was a little bit soft and the edges were perfectly caramelized.

They are fried to crispy PERFECTION, coasted with some enchanted salty stuff, plus fried rosemary, and the dip they come with has a hint of lemon and it all just works fabulously. I can't get over how much I enjoyed them. I expected my egg yolk ravioli to be runny, as the server indicated, but the folks were fully cooked. Maybe that's the intent and it was just false advertising? My friend enjoyed her butternut pasta dish. The cocktail/mocktail list here is fire. I don't think you can go wrong.

My wife and I were sitting, talking about the disappointing pizza we recently had at a new place nearby that just opened and thought we would not be able to enjoy delicious pizza again, when Saint Angelo suddenly appeared bearing boxes of deliciousness!! To say we were not only thankful and pleased but overwhelmed would be an understatement. To say that they did not last long at all would not be an understatement. The pepperoni was perfectly piquant and veggies and sausage were beyond compare. We feel truly blessed to know such a kind and great chef as Angelo and cannot wait to not only return the favor but partake of such wonderfully amazing pizzas again! :-D Isn't it wonderful how life can surprise you when you least expect it? Truly, this is what pizza should be!

It was time for seat yourselves so to the outdoor patio we traveled. Not a far walk at all but more reason to get a liter of Bock Bier, a pint of Bavarian Hefeweizen and a Ghettoblaster Ale. Sandy our well named server was able to bring the two pints but not the liter since she didn't want to spill a drop. Though I am sure she didn't want to scare us with her muscle strength. Incase she was also the bouncer. All kidding aside we had a great time and the three of enjoyed the ambiance of the brewery and the Michigan sunny warm day. All the relaxing was topped off with a very tasty pizza the Bronx Bomber. Great place and thank you Sandy for making our day fantastic!

There's a good amount of menu choices where you won't feel like you're eating the same ingredients over and over again.

There's also a nice selection of beers on tap and by the bottle. That's all....

The brewery splits their offerings between Jolly Pumpkin sours and North Peak Brewing Company's variety of styles. My husband ordered a Jolly Pumpkin pint right away. I wanted to try a flight but needed time to choose. Our bartender Lenice gave me all the time I needed. When a couple of my picks weren't available, she brought me samples of other beers to try. I liked one of the samples. Jason, the manager, helped me make my final selection. I don't typically drink sours, but these weren't the kind that make you pucker. They were subtle. Definitely my kind of sours. Jason shared stories about the brewery's history and owner. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the place really came through. Lenice stopped by a few times to check if we needed anything. Both Lenice and Jason made this visit memorable. Lenice kept the energy light and friendly. Jason's passion for his work and the brewery added depth to the experience. If you're in the area and want good beer with even better service, stop by Jolly Pumpkin Brewery.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I wouldn't sit here for hours on end because the seats aren't particuly cozy, but the vibe is totally welcoming and the people that work there have always been very friendly and nice. I've been able to get good recommendations for drinks when I can't quite choose. I think the beer selection is always varied. I like a sour, farmhouse, saison, etc and the options are always pretty good. If in the area, I would not hesitate to bring a friend or visitor.
