Came here recently for a group lunch with my work. We started with the app, fried zucchini was good. Cheese bread was ok, but the potato skins were a Miss. The cooks did not deep fry the potatoes, the just shelled out baked potato's and topped them. They need to be deep fried after baking and shelling out. Pizza was good as always, never disappointing for a fresh Detroit style pizza. We also had a jumbo antipasto salad, it was good and huge for sharing. Service for us that day was good and attentive. Another disappointment is the restaurant itself. It is old, tired and dated. Needs a new clean fresh interior. Hopefully this will happen soon. read more

Chicken wings have too much sauce, more like wings with gravy. Maybe they should put some sauce on the side. I didn't get Detroit style pizza that they are famous for. Had Detroit style couple of times in catering and they are good. This time was a regular round pizza and it was ok. Too much cheese and not enough tomato sauce. read more

Came for a party so we had the back banquet area. The staff was on top of things, kept the food and pop refilled and were walking around regularly to pick up dirty plates and cups. The food was great as always! Their pizza is so good, I also love the antipasto salad and surprisingly the meat pasta and breadsticks were really good. Those aren't something I would normally eat but did try and was glad I did, I went back for seconds!! Also, did you know, they have a dj and free hip-hop line dancing class on Wednesday's?! I thought that was different but pretty neat! read more

Ordered some DELICIOUS food for Sunday Night Football. Everything was fresh and very well made. Service was prompt and the restaurant is clean with plenty of room to dine in. There's a bar and TV's to catch Detroit sports teams in action. Highly recommend! read more

I am from Brooklyn and I am a pizza snob this pizza Is excellent. I recommend everybody gets a slice. Autumn Pitts was my bartender and she was awesome. She said it was her first night bartending but she was so nice with a gorgeous smile and made me so happy to be there. If you want great pizza this this the place and if you want great service Autumn will take great care of you . On a scale of 1 through 10 Autumn is a 25 read more

I'm a Detroit pizza aficionado, of course, and I had never made it here but it's always claiming to be one of the best. So tonight, we did it! Took them 10 minutes to get my bf a Guinness and me a Moscow mule. Onion rings were ok, not much seasoning. Pizza was great, but I think the sauce could use a tad more seasoning. The seasonings come in small plastic containers and not in a glass shaker which is weird. Overall I would do take out but not sit in. Green lantern and Louis have them beat. read more

Let's start with the good. So I came here for a birthday party. The karaoke was an AWESOME vibe. The pizza was good but not GREAT. Bad: I ordered a simple loaded potato and salmon Caesar salad. Can't get more basic than that. The salmon was so dry, it was harder to eat than the croutons. I have a video showing how I had to poke and beat the salmon to break it up. Salmon shouldn't snap like chips. And the potato was awful in taste and came out cold. When I finally got the waitress attention she said she would tell her manager. The manager said they would take $5 off my bill instead of taking the food back. I couldn't eat the food. I just paid the bill and moved along. At the end of the day, I won't return. Detroit has too many awesome eateries with excellent customer service and vibes to waste my time spending money where I can't get basic service and food. read more

This was my first trip to Shields since my aunts rehearsal dinner over 30 years ago. I ordered a small round cheese pizza, after a recommendation from our server who is from New York, my husband ordered the ribs. It was 8:30pm on a Friday night so the place was pretty empty, but there were a few large parties lingering. The pizza was pretty good, but I wouldn't order it again. To me the sauce was gritty, but the cheese was excellent. My husband enjoyed his ribs, and they were truly fall off the bone, we would come back for those. Overall I would say the food was meh, but service was incredible. Way to go Yiesha! read more

This is favorite place to get Detroit style pizza. I haven't been here in decades & it's just as good as I remembered. My order is always the same: an order of spud skins & a small Shield's super pizza. You can't go wrong with potatoes topped with cheese, bacon, & green onions dipped in sour cream. The spud skins are like a cross between a baked potato & potato wedge. The pizza crust is has a slight crisp on the outside but it's soft on the inside, with plenty of toppings & just the right amount of sauce. In my eyes, this pizza is perfection. read more

Solid Detroit pizza!!! We were served by lovely Kim who took a kind liking to my daughter; treated her so sweet!! She's the business when it comes to service. Thursday night karaoke was going, some of these folks in Southfield got it goin' on! Great voices, people were having a blast. Bar offers full service, wasn't too busy...just right after a long flight into the DTW area. The wings were good! Solid, good crisp, good pull and a balanced sauce. 4.5/5 Pizza was great! Airy crust, good cheese pull, fresh ingredients...sauce was rich. If I could have made any changes, I would have had a bit more sauce on it and cup style pepperoni to hold that juicy grease. 4.45/5 - winning pizza and one of the best D town style pies I've had yet! You won't go wrong here. Very good food. read more

I was there on Super Bowl Sunday! The restaurant was empty and they sell pizza. I really believe the word is getting out about their high prices and nasty food. They tried to charge me $15.00 for an eight dollar cheese bread! The service was bad !!! The manager had the nerve to ask me if I read the menu! All the pizza places in that area were busy except for theirs. Horrible service! Horrible place. Over priced garbage food! read more

The kids love coming here on Fridays. They have a good selection of pizzas and appetizers. Service is usually quick and everything comes out looking, smelling, and tasting amazing! The ambiance is family oriented. Our daughter likes the kids menu w/ the games and puzzles stay busy until dinner arrives. We'll keep this place in our Friday night pizza rotation. read more

This location is worn out physically and the staff was very poor. Our server took 15 minutes to bring 5 drinks, bring each one on a separate trip. Perhaps this is why she never checked on our drinks or offered refills. Our order of an appetizer, a salad, and pizzas was not managed, all of it arrived at the table within 5 minutes. The topper was the ambience as it was karaoke night, but nobody with singing talent was there, it got so bad it drive us out. read more

Place could use an upgrade for sure; but the service and food is always really good! We went in tonight with 5 people. Ordered the large beef nacho, large pizza and salad. Service was great - food was good too! We will be back. read more

Richard and Amber were amazing servers for our family party! They were friendly, fast, & effecient. We'll be back!

Jay the gm was very rude and so was the bartender. Food delicious. Detroit location. Jay cursed at me and treated me very unkind. Owner never called me back to discuss the issue. Jay also called my gf and told me that I was poking the bear and not to call the owner. My gf gave a birthday party there. Entirely too much to type. I left and didn't eat my food. ​ read more

Best Detroit style in Michigan hands down! Sweet tasty sauce, plenty of cheese, fresh toppings and the crust is soft with crisp edges.

Very good pizza; leaves Buddy's in the dust (not sure why they're so highly rated). Extensive menu, all of which is very good. The wait staff has always been very attentive, friendly, & accommodating. The pizza is always great-very tasty pizza sauce. read more

They weren't busy at 2:30 on a Sunday 3/16. There were 2 tables plus us in our section. Our waitress was terrible!!!!!!! KyraS She brought out barely warm pizza and it was already soggy on the bottom. Gave us a drink and within 1 full hour never came to check on us. I went and found another waitress so we could get our bill paid. I tracked down our waitress. Ridiculous!!! Never going back. Buddy's green lantern and Buschemies now get my business. You had your chance Shields! Two thumbs down read more

I used to order a ton from the Troy location and was alway great. Cant say the same about the Southfield location. They couldn't even bother melting all the cheese in the Nacho I ordered, for over $16 (half order). No salsa, no sour cream, and had to pay extra for jalapeños. Website menu prices are off vs when you order. Had I not gotten there a few minutes early, my order would have sat on the counter, opened. Disappointment. read more

I'm sad yall. Aelizabe helped tho. Shields has been a family staple for years and years. My ex husband and I had our first date here all the way back in 2012 - tons of great memories here. Suddenly, I'm met with a one page laminated menu that had a "mandatory gratuity for parties of 3 or more" across the bottom of it. I am offended by restaurants that do that. Let's get into the food: - Michigan salad; Came covered in raw mushrooms with the dried cherries beneath it and chopped walnuts. Like, finely chopped. They didn't skimp on the bleu cheese but still. - Pizza; thank GOD they left that alone. Delish! - Wings; we got garlic parm and sent them back immediately. I asked for them cooked hard, they were light, and then covered with some white sauce that I couldn't even try. Naked wings got sent back with sauce on the side and then we realized.... Garlic parm wings are actually wings covered in Alfredo sauce. Our server came was 15 mins after we sat and didn't write down a single aspect of my order. As predicted, she came back to recite the order which she definitely forgot but I will say....she did what she could to make things right. I appreciate that. Over all.... Damn Shields...The thrill is gone. Update: Ok so the gratuity wasn't included on the check and Aelizabe worked super hard read more

I order occasionally from here (not close to my home) , I always enjoy the pizza, it's always properly cooked and the sauce they use is great. Did dine in here once a couple years ago, had no problems at all. Wish Shields would have a carryout place in the western suburbs (they had one in Commerce but it shut down after a couple years). read more

Where do I begin? I was excited to come here as family members are returning home so we came as a farewell date. The place is nice for a somewhat of a neighborhood spot. I hated the food. The pizza (spinach, feta, and tomato) was not tasty at all. The sauce was too sweet for me, of course I got a large (leftovers for lunch the next day) threw it out. The service was slow and it wasn't crowded. My sister in law suggested this spot but I think they only get wings and drinks This must be a good place for the regulars. read more

I'd like to preface this review with a couple positive things. This one star review isn't a reflection of the entire restaurant staff, or the food. We've been here multiple times and the experience has been good. But I'm writing this review in hopes that it will bring attention to how poorly me and my family, and many other family's were treated by one specific server tonight. Which in turn might make the management respond accordingly towards him. The server in question is a young man who clearly doesn't care to be working at a restaurant, I don't blame him I worked the industry for over a decade and know that it can be demanding and tiring. However to completely disregard your job while you're at work makes no sense to me. I know people have off days but every time we've been here we've noticed how slow and how bothered this kid is to be there. We waited 20 mins just to be said hi to. Another 10 to get water, another 20 to put our food order in and after over an hour of waiting for our food I asked about it and found out that it was never even put in. Everytime he walked past us he avoided eye contact and when he did say anything to us he was clearly bothered by simply doing his job. A family next to us had a similar experience and the large group that came in after us was treated the same. Over all they had 20 people walk out of the restaurant. They gave us a coupon for our next visit and apologized for the inconvenience. Which I appreciate, but it still doesn't make up for the lack of care. I'd say they lost about $500 in food orders and then on top of that handed out another $500 worth of coupons. To me it seems like a no brainer to let the kid go, at this point his disregard for his job has cost the company time and money, and us time and money. We walked away hungry and annoyed. I hope that they take some action and would gladly write a positive review down the road if they get their stuff together. read more

I ordered a Michigan salad and it was very horrible . It was by far the worst Michigan salad that I've had from any restaurant it barely had any of the ingredients it was mostly mixed greens This salad was $16 and did not come with chicken. This was too expensive for my salad to lack all of the other ingredients. food is too expensive now to have minimal service food with no care. read more

The greeting was horrible. We waited for someone...anyone to come to the table and take our order. Heck, a glass of water would've been nice. I submitted several hundred reviews on social media. This is the first "1" that I have given. Z We're now at Nicola's. read more

I never do bad reviews but I must be honest. We had a horrible experience here. All our food had to be sent back and the owner told us we had to pay half price for the food they messed up, plus full price for our replacement order. The customer service was very poor. Considering our Table Ticket was $125+, we could have been treated better. I can not in good faith, recommend this establishment read more

Shield's Restaurant Bar Pizzeria - Menu - Pizza Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

I had to try the other old school pizza place that has been around since the 1940s since I have always eaten at the other, Buddy's. My late mother told me she tasted pizza for the first time in the late 1950s when my late father brought a baseball team from Kokomo IN to play a tournament. Maybe it was this one instead of Buddy's. I was hungry for spaghetti and couldn't get a menu up for other small businesses Italian places so besides pizza I got spaghetti which came with a salad and garlic bread sticks. The pizza had my normal, pineapple, mushrooms, and ham with extra sauce. I got 2 meals out of the spaghetti and even warmed up in my oven it was good. I also got 3 meals out of the pizza and it ranks up there in my top 10. But the salad was terrible. Brown lettuce, too warm from being put on top of the spaghetti box and cooling half of it in the fridge for supper didn't help. I am glad I had my own dressing since so little was included. The garlic bread sticks were what you expected, good. The person who brought my order out wasn't pleasant. He told me, not nicely, that I should have paid over the phone instead of having them run my card there. I think I will go to the other location next time. read more

This is my first time here. I ordered a small create your own pizza (well done 4 square, with veggies). I get the pizza home and it has soaked through the pizza box. I mean there is oil on my car seats and on my kitchen counter. The pizza is soggy. I am not happy with the quality. I picked up one slice and the bottom of the box was attached to the slice. Pizza is too soaky to enjoy. I probably won't be returning, except to get a REFUND. I hate wasting my money on food. I'm currently waiting on a manager to call me back. This just ruined my lunch hour. read more

Ok, so I tried one more time to carry out from this location. Don't! I called and ordered a pizza was told to pick up in 30 minutes. I arrived in 20, only to be told they did not have my order.
