Arguably one of the best restaurants in Ann Arbor (tied with Miss Kim and Spencer). I docked one star because occasionally they are really slow and the food can be a bit off for their guest chef events. Otherwise, it's solid and one of my favorite places for brunch, cocktails, and wood fired pizza. I appreciate their menu is seasonal, but one of my favorite meals there was oysters with a strawberry mignonette, hamachi crudo, and a lil' gem salad with a bottle of bubbly rose. Yum! Their seasonal egg dishes are also great when the herbs come from their garden. For dinner, you can't go wrong with one of the maple mushroom pizzas. Cute ambiance too. read more

Fantastic food and atmosphere. We went for brunch for the first time and were blown away by the food. Excited to go back for dinner soon (and our next pizza takeout). read more

Two section restaurant, standard and upscale, in great location. Standard section is hopping, busy and loud. Dishes choices are good, with most people opting for pizza. Our burger was good, not great, and vegetarian pasta was way too salty. Graciously, they removed pasta from final bill. Wine was very good, though pricey. Rich tiramisu was too chocolaty for me. Service was solid, with ample staff. Will go again to try a pizza and starter. Did not try upscale, table-clothed section that looks anniversary formal. read more

The place is beautiful and the food is lovely and artistic, but it's fine. I had the bolognese and it was fine. My husband and friends all had pizza and enjoyed it. The deconstructed tiramisu was not good. read more

Delicious food, prepared with care. Fresh oysters, cheesy focaccia, creative and thoughtful dishes, tasting menu is a delight to the senses. Elegant, minimalist fine dining room - a bit loud without mitigating acoustic features, but hopefully that will be fixed at some point. Prompt and friendly service, nice wine list. Can't wait to go return. read more

Directions at the front door misleading. We seated ourselves only to find we had to go inside to order. Pizza was very good, but skimpy. The salad was huge but lacked flavor, it was very oily. We paid $6. for a small iced tea and found there were no refills. Very disappointing. read more

The service was horrible. We waited 125 minutes for a Greece plate. And only having 2 milks for coffees??? That's bad. I hope they improve. During the pandemic there gonna need to change. The reason I gave it 2 because the Croissant was on point. Only come if you have all morning. read more

Love the pastries and pizza BUT ordered fish sandwich from The Boro for first time - it was supposed to be cod, maybe it started as cod but it was a nasty processed patty, no flavor, bad texture. Maybe they're getting too busy, they need to do some quality checks. I wouldn't normally post a public negative review but there's no way to contact The Dixboro Project. read more

Second time here. Their pizza as an appetizer was great as was the service. I had the Lamb saddle $48, can be described as a very pricey falafel about the size of a pazcki. Meat inside was cooked between rare and well done, Boro fooled me once , Shame on you , fool me twice, shame on me. Ridiculous amount of money to celebrate a bithday party of four for mediocre meals. If you have money to burn, you've come to the right place. Noise level makes Common Grille seem like a library. read more

The Boro is very nice and classy inside, with good and friendly service. The menu is pretty limited but the food is delicious and the pizza may be the best in the area. The only downside to the Boro is that it's very pricey for the type of food they offer and if you want any beer with your meal the selection is super limited and over priced (only 6 different beers to choose from all in bottles all 10/12$ each with a very unappealing selection) other than that the Boro is a great upscale eatery great for brunch and lunch dates. read more

The staff are the friendliest. I recommend Joe or Cass at the bar. Don't wait for a table when you can take a to go cup on the lawn. Yes, it's pricey, but damn it those Manhattans are the best. Pizzas are very affordable. Desserts are tasty. Don't tell anyone, but they have Van Winkles. read more

I think this place is amazing and has delicious food, but the estimated time for when your takeout will be ready is woefully inaccurate. I've been sitting in the car for well over 45min past when they said my single pizza would be ready. Please do better Boro. Everyone is short staffed, but yet they still crank out food in a timely manner. read more

I went here for my 38th birthday with a few friends and we all LOVED it! The food, the atmosphere, the customer service from the young lady at the front was phenomenal. I have to say that the young lady/host set the tone for the whole dinner. She was so sweet when she took my name down to put us on the waitlist and at my age a birthday is just another day but she really went out of her way to celebrate me. The wait was very long but the chef is really well known so this place gets packed. We didn't mind because they have a SKU on the tables outside where you can order food and beer from( it is not the entire menu but still some good options). When they sat us inside the decor was beautiful which isn't easy to find in Ann Arbor as much as bigger cities like Chicago, and Austin. This is a casual college town so it's nice when you find a place where you can dress up for( but you can definitely go casual). The food was SO good and worth the wait. The chicken was a chicken sausage but my friend loved it. Literally everything was so good. I got the tomato and yellow watermelon salad with the prawns and I would absolutely order it again. The aperol spritz and elderberry spritz were so refreshing on a hot summer day. Everything was perfect and I cannot wait to go back with my family for brunch. read more

We came here for brunch and really enjoyed it! We ordered the smoked salmon & avocado open-faced sandwich that had marinated onions and radish. It was amazing, the best thing we ordered. We also liked the French omelette, which we ordered at the recommendation of our server. The rich flavor of the butter sauce really came through. Two thumbs up for the Spanish mocha. Our friends ordered the crab toast and said it was great. We also got croissants to go. They're some of the best we've had in Ann Arbor, comparable to White Lotus's but less buttery and more flaky. We definitely look forward to coming back to the Dixboro Project! read more

The food was very very good. The issues I had were the portion size to cost for a several menu items was just sad. I mean 3 ravioli for like $30. The other thing was I got the sense they were very highbrow, our server was visibly irritated when I didn't get a wine or mixed drink and was less attentive after that for the night. Definitely go if you're not concerned about price or portions. The food is awesome. Id probably go somewhere else. read more

Went tonight and was super impressed. The goat cheese appetizer was absolutely sublime. The pepperoni pizza had these delicious, crispy pepperoni on it. The asparagus salad was full of delightful textures and was so fresh. Tiramisu was next level. Can't wait to go again! read more

Came here to try their pepperoni pizza - man, it doesn't disappoint. I've never seen anyone cut pepperoni the way they do on a pizza (thin almost ribbon-like slices) but it lends to maximum pepperoni in every bite. In addition, their service is impeccable Even though we just ordered take out and sat outside, multiple employees came up to us (w/ masks on, of course) to make sure we were satisfied with our food and drink. They really went out of their way for great service. Because of that, I will be a patron for life. I can't wait until the inside of the building opens and we can sample their full restaurant menu! read more

Ate at the Boro for the first time last night and loved it! We ordered the asparagus salad and a pizza, both of which were amazing. We enjoyed the salad in particular so much that we considered going back to get another one! The size of the salad was large which was so perfect for anyone getting take out -- highly recommend! read more

This review is just for pizza, which we ordered on site and took home. We've been twice and both times had the Prosciutto Pizza. It was delicious - perfectly cooked. I cannot have garlic and they were able to easily adapt by using a different oil. The second time, we also took home a piece of key lime tart, which was yummy. The prices are high, but the quality of what we got almost justified it. We moved here from CA two years ago, and it took us this long to find good pizza in Ann Arbor. It will be nice to try out the indoor restaurant for a special occasion when it is ready. Staff were also quite helpful and friendly. read more

First visit - Beautiful place - all new - they spared no expense remodeling/building the "BORO". When everything is back to normal it would be a one of a kind venue for a wedding or other major life event - try to take a peek inside. So the situation is you order carry out from the scan code at your outdoor table or picnic table or walk inside the carry out area. Your order will be brought out to your table. Plan on waiting and then waiting some more. Difficult times - hard to find staff. But the mushroom pizza was good, ordered without the maple drizzle, could have had a little more sauce, coke in a can and ice tea in a plastic cup. Cannolis were lemon flavored & ok. We'll return later this summer for another try out - probably for breakfast. read more

The Boro - Mushroom Pizza without maple drizzle. - Pizza Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Such good food. We had margarita pizza and the chicken sandwich. Both great options. We finished it off with a chocolate croissant!

I was very excited to try the food after seeing the hype online. I will say that overall the atmosphere and food were very good. My honest review is that nothing was extraordinary. The salmon was very good, almost like smoked salmon. Unfortunately the lamb was not cooked enough but am excited to take it home, cook it up more and try it as it looked very good. My overall favorite was the mushroom pizza - great flavor combo with the mushroom, cheese, rosemary and honey, and very good crust! I will come back and try again when the restaurant is open. read more

Excellent for a bakery breakfast! I bought a donut, cream pie, and sandwich, and would get all again (and did in fact go back for a second donut...). read more

Saying farewell to the Lord Fox was hard. Where else can you get tableside bananas foster and a mouth watering beef wellington around here? And what came after - Roger Monks just made me want to cry when I saw what they did to the interior of the historic building...and the food and drink were not good. Sava is a legend in the area. She seems to have endless funds to try anything her restaurant heart desires. Sava's is great. Aventura is fun. I still miss Babo. Everyone was waiting with bated breath to see what she was going to do with the old Lord Fox and this past weekend I got to see it firsthand. Prior to heading over, I looked over the menu and nearly choked! The prices were crazy. The entrees were okay (except for the $62 steak), but the wine and cocktails were way over-priced. I always expect to pay more in Ann Arbor for alcohol, but these prices were higher than anywhere else. What the heck, though, it will be worth paying a bit more for the experience. We were meeting another couple for dinner and noticed their car was already in the parking lot. It was 5 p.m. and the place was already buzzing. We entered the restaurant and received bored stares from the two gorgeous women clad in black at the hostess stand. We said we were meeting another couple and knew they were here already. One of the beauties responded, "Do they have names?", in way that portrayed she had already tired of me and thought I was a moron. Great start, I thought. My husband, who is a saint, responded with their names while I responded, "No, they don't have names", and got a stunned looked from one of the dark angels. I think women like that typically get frustrated, embarrassed responses that give them glee, but if I'm paying an arm and a leg for an experience in the service industry I expect to be greeted in a pleasant manner. Our friends, it turns out, had purchased a bottled cocktail and went to the outdoor area where there are a few picnic tables to wait. We met them there, sat for a bit and were texted shortly that our table was ready. A different bored women seated us. I have to say here that the chairs were amazing. So comfy - a simple chair with a velvet-like brown fabric covering it. A rare find in a restaurant. Our server was great. He, too, was a bit reserved, but when he found we were kind people with humor, he loosened up a bit. The drinks - a had the Manhattan and it was very good - still not $20 good, but very good. The wife of the other couple had the Stinger and loved it. We had the hamachi & yellowfin tuna and the tomato salad as appetizers. I literally laughed out loud when the tuna arrived in a huge bowl with the actual appetizer at the very bottom looking very sad and small. It was very good but a bit pricey for the amount. The tomato salad on the other hand, was amazing. The tomatoes were perfect and how it was dressed was delicious. My husband went for the steak as his entrée. We talked about it on the way over and decided go for it since it had been a while since we did upscale dining. I ordered the pepperoni pizza, the other wife the mushroom pizza and the other husband wanted more of the tomato salad, so he ordered that and the cauliflower side dish. I had glass of the Elizabeth Spencer Cab and as expected, it was amazing, but $23?! The pizza was okay. The toppings were top line and the outer crust so good, but the center was kind of mush.....to the point where I really couldn't pick up a slice to eat. I had to use a knife and fork. The steak was very good and the roasted endive with it was yummy, but again, $62?! We shared two desserts and had coffee. Both very, very good. In the end, it came to $450. Think about that. Yeah, a bit over $100 for each person sounds pretty good for a special night out, but two people had pizza and one had a salad and side for dinner. The drinks and the steak pushed the price up hugely. Overall, Boro will not be a destination I will go to often. For a special night out - maybe. I would recommend Boro, but with the caveat that it is very pricey. A message to Sava: I know you train your staff to be professional and maybe even encourage the aloofness, but to me, it's a huge turn off. Most of the women looked as if they jumped out of the Robert Palmer video, Addicted to Love. Same bored look and black apparel. You don't have to be aloof and basically mean to be classy. Kindness and a smile go a long way. I don't know what it is about a Sava endeavor, but the people of Ann Arbor love to wait in line for a seat at one of her tables. I really hope the Boro succeeds and I'm sure it will, but it is not at the top of my list of places to go in Ann Arbor for dinner. Let's just say if someone gave me the option of Boro or Pacific Rim, I would pick Pacific Rim every time. read more

Absolutely a delightful place for dinner. Owner Sava, did a fabulous job renovating the old Lord Fox restaurant.. group of us we started off with the tuna, oysters, strawberry & tomato salad and brussels sprout caesar, then for dinner ordered sausage pizza, chicken entree, sautéed turbot fish, green beans, cheeseburger. Other than the cheeseburger being very salty, everything else was delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

I can't express enough how impactful this meal was on my thinking of cooking. The way Josh and the crew are able to elevate the taste of a simple spice in for instance an endive to a level so spectacular is magic. read more

Looking forward to trying this restaurant we were a bit underwhelmed. The building, patio and grounds are very nice with plenty of outdoor seating. We were encouraged to use the app to order or lunch but were not told in advance that there was a service charge for this. We ordered a pizza and the wait was much longer than first told, about 40 minutes rather than the 20-25 we were told. While waiting we ordered two Cokes expecting fountain drinks they brought us two mini cans of Coke at $2.00 a piece. The pizza was good albeit overpriced but the atmosphere is nice. Not too anxious to return. read more

The Boro was the finest of dining experiences. My friend and I sat at the bar, which was set with beautiful dinnerware. The bartender provided flawless service. We shared prawn appetizer and the mushroom pizza. Food service was timely and delicious. I would recommend this restaurant is you're looking for a fine dinning experience and not so concerned about the final price. This restaurant is truly a special dining experience. read more

Sava you have done it again.. opened yet another AMAZING restaurant with amazing food. We live to visit and eat at your restaurants xoxo read more

The Boro - Pizza Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Had heard really good things about this place from friends who had eaten outside and was looking forward to trying it. Arrived btwn 4:30- 5p on a weekday, no problem with parking and was seated immediately inside as they were not seating outside that day, which I was looking forward to. Service was prompt and friendly and we ordered drinks. Menu selection is a la carte and it is easy to ring up your check with entrees and a few sides . Our meal consisted Focaccia bread with melted cheese (I think the best item we ate), Brussel sprouts Caesar salad - way too salty, potato puffs, Caramelized scallops 3 count for $38 - way too SALTY, served over farro and with a deep fried piece of kale on top(again over salted), sautéed Halibut- beautiful presentation but just OK on taste. For the meal we ended up paying $150 and felt cheated on price and taste (someone definitely has a heavy hand with the salt shaker). Once again, service was good, place was cheery and bright, bathrooms/parking all good. Maybe we should have gone with the pizza? read more

Last Friday nite, July 31, 2021, we put in our name for a table for four just before 6 pm. We were told a table should be ready in 30 to 40 min., so we waited outside for us to be texted. At 7pm, we were told that we would be the next party seated, so we moved inside to stand near the front door to be ready to be seated at any minute. However, we just waited & waited, as other parties seemed to be seated ahead of us. Finally, at 8:00 we gave up in disgust & went to another restaurant that we could walk right into. It doesn't matter how good the food might be, they should not be so unable to estimate the wait time by over an hour. -Cliff M. read more

Got two pizzas and a tiramisu from them a couple of weeks ago. Pizzas were decent, but the tiramisu was served in a paper cup and was bone dry. read more

Went for dinner with friends. The cheap flimsy "table" collapse. Made of compressed sawdust. Manager rushed over, told us to order and put it on one check. Asked what wine he could get for me. Delivered a small plastic cup of wine and vanished. Bill came. $17 for the wine that I would never have ordered had he not offered and we then had to get the 124.00 bill had to be spilt 5 ways. Will probably not be back. Not great food, cheap furniture, poor service. read more

Excellent service, venue and food!!! Took my friend for drinks and she said she felt like she was in Vermont.

Pricey food, watered down drinks, way too loud. The worst us the staff attitude that you are doing them a favor for coming! Made my friend's birthday awkward and she was apologetic. Did not match our expectations. read more

Lovely venue especially the outdoor seating by the water. Coffee and pastries are good here, but most other food is overpriced, and not that tasty. Had pizza and shrimp starter, both were quite salty. read more
