The prompt for giving a review on Yelp suggests considering ambiance, service, and food. I shall…read moredo so in reverse order. First, my wife grew up in Dearborn, and is, thus, well acquainted with Detroit pizza. So, when we were in town on Friday - living about 30 miles north - we decided to try out the Corktown Pizza restaurant. It was our first visit, but it will definitely NOT be our last. In fact, Corktown Pizza is now our go-to local restaurant for pizza. Now, to the promised review. There is not a whole lot to say about the ambiance. The restaurant has a somewhat spartan aura to it which we really enjoyed. We were able to concentrate and focus on our meal, and not on the room. The BEST part of the ambience was that the dining area was relatively quiet, allowing us to enjoy our meal and talk to each other without being overwhelmed by noise, which is the total opposite of Buffalo Wild Wings which shares the building, where you have to yell to be heard by the people sitting at your table. Now as to the food. The pizza was ABSOLUTELY the BEST pizza that I have EVER had - and I am 75 years of age, and have always enjoyed pizza. I might have had a pizza at some point that was as good as the Corktown Pizza, but I have DEFINITELY NEVER had a pizza that was better. They have several types of pizza on the menu - thick crust, thin crust, Detroit style, etc. I got the Detroit pizza and my wife got the thick crust, and both were equally good. The prices and good, and the quantity was great. I had to take half of my four slice pizza home for dinner the next day - and it was still wonderful the following night! Now, as to the service. I was really impressed with our server, Kevin, who was actually able to cover the whole room - and did a fantastic job of it. He was very attentive to our needs without being intrusive, giving us a chance to enjoy the food and our conversation. As in the movie "We Are Spinal Tap", I would like to give Kevin an "11" on a scale of "10"! I never got to meet or be introduced to Paul, the Cook/Chef, but based on the food he prepared, I would like to give him an "11" as well! We will be back, and so should you!

We will always support the restaurant and I'm looking forward to trying their pizza. Fantastic place in a perfect location so you should check them out! Have a wonderful time!

They have ample seating, booths, some high tops and about a 10 seat bar. Servers were very cordial and greeted us as soon as we came in. We each had a cocktail and those were both well crafted. for dinner we each had the Lasagna. It is highlighted on their menu as one of the in-house home made dishes. We chose well! :). The portion was generous, served in an oval iron skillet. Flavors were surprisingly very good, lasagna noodles were cooked perfectly, it comes with meat sauce and the meat had good flavor and was seasoned well. Cheese was rich and buttery. It is served with a couple seasoned Parmesan crisps. We were pleased with both the food and the service. We would definitely recommend checking them out if you are looking for pizza, pasta or a sandwich while in Gaylord.

I had the chopped brisket sandwich and a friend had the pulled pork nachos. Both were solid winners in the food category. I still say that that chopped brisket is the best I've had in a long time.

My eggs I ordered over easy for two eggs and it was absolutely done with perfection and the taste was actually good. I find a lot of times. Eggs are tasteless. This was not the case here. Also the sausages aren't just the cheap bowl links. These are two really nice delicious sausages. The coffee well, it was not the best flowed whenever you asked for it. The waitress was fantastic and friendly. The ambience I can't wait to see what they do with all the plastic grapes and fruit hanging from the ceilings. I hope that the change is going to be something impressive for our town because it's time.. we'll be coming here often and I don't know if it's on Sundays yet, but we'll find out and we saw some friends and other booths so for me regardless of the decor that equals a five star.
