- pizzaMy experience at this restaurant was exceptional. When I say this place sets the standard for pizza, I mean it. Amidst the many pizza places in the city, only a few can compare to this wonderful establishment.
- foodWe ran in for a quick bite during lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the amazing food. We did not expect to have such great food at a good price.
- wingsthe wings are insanely good—like maybe the best wings I’ve ever had.
- FoodFood, service and location is great!
- Detroit style pizzaDetroit style pizza is my favorite and I came here with a Michigander and a friend with Celiac - both said this was excellent pizza!
- crustThe food was incredible; we had a Classic Margarita and the Big Von. The taste is so good, and the crust is light and tasteful. These pizzas are in my top 5 worldwide, and I've been to Italy several times!
- flavorPacked full of flavor and juicybwith every bite
- pepperoniIt's my go-to among all other pizza places. My absolute favorite is THE BIG VON pizza, featuring white sauce, Italian sausage, pepperoni, and Mike's Hot Honey. I always enjoy their special hot sauce and order extra on the side to make it even more delicious!

Frequently criticized
- pizzatoo expensive for such a small pizza
- crustThe crust was lackluster in both the flavor and the texture department
- foodmake the food unacceptable
- cheesy breadthe cheesy bread was really bad
- pizzasMy experience with this restaurant's delivery service has been disappointing. On the last two occasions, the pizzas arrived cold. While the manager offered a free pizza as recompense, the follow-up was an email suggesting free DoorDash delivery instead, a significantly lower value.
- ranchCould use a better thicker ranch
- sauceI also would expect more cheese and sauce, both of which also lacked flavor
- burnt bottomcould see the burnt bottom
- burnt crust slicesCan't believe i ate the burnt crust slices
- burnt crust smellThe burnt crust smell, and taste just got worse
If you're craving excellent Detroit style pizza, delicious wings, or great gluten-free options, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Just be mindful of potential inconsistencies in cooking or portion sizes, and double-check on vegan options if you have dietary restrictions.

- serviceI’m not sure what was so complicated about my order, but it literally took 30 minutes to get our to-go box. Meanwhile, they were very quick to service more than a dozen delivery pickups while we waited and waited. The pizza was good, with a nice crust and good flavor, but for $20-something dollars and a 30-minute wait, it’s a no for me.

If youre looking for a place with generally friendly and efficient service, especially for delivery or QR code ordering, its worth a try. Just be prepared that there might be occasional hiccups with wait times or the ordering process, so manage your expectations for in-person service.

Value (4.3 out of 10)
mentioned by 21% of the guests
It seems some diners find good value, especially when snagging a Bogo deal, enjoying Happy Hour, or taking advantage of a Monday deal. Many appreciate the price for certain items, like wings and fries, and even a half-price anniversary special made the costs feel quite reasonable for the quality received. However, the value proposition is quite challenging, with customer satisfaction at a poor 22.2%, despite an average score of 4.3.
Many find the pricey pizza too expensive, leading to poor value for money. Frequent complaints mention extra charges for dipping sauce, medical fees, and mandatory minimum 18% tip. These concerns are highlighted in 23 negative comments versus 8 positive ones from 36 total opinions.

- expensiveIt is slightly expensive
- full pizzasWe tried the Big Von, which was great, though I'd suggest getting appetizers beforehand if you're dining with someone else, as it's a substantial pizza. A slight drawback is that it's a bit expensive because they only serve full pizzas and don't offer slices or half-and-half options. Additionally, parking is street-only and can be very difficult to find, so keep that in mind when planning your visit.
If youre hunting for a deal, keep an eye out for their Bogo deal or Happy Hour specials, as these can offer good value. Otherwise, be prepared for potentially expensive prices and extra charges that might make you question the value for money' for a casual meal.

Online Order Nightmare: No Pizza, No Confirmation
First time trying this place, based on an Eater article, I decided to give it a go. I ordered online for delivery and provided my credit card and delivery information. However, after placing the order, I received no confirmation email and, more importantly, no pizza.
When I called, I was told it might be a "glitch" and advised to "call my bank. " In 2025, if a business accepts credit card information online, they should be prepared to fulfill the order or investigate the "glitch" themselves. What should have been a simple pizza order has now escalated into a credit card fraud investigation.

Outstanding Wings and Pizza!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I ordered the wings and the Hawaiian pizza, and both were absolutely outstanding. The pepperoni on the pizza were nice and crispy, and the pizza itself had a perfect balance of being both soft and crunchy.
It was a truly enjoyable meal.

Favorite Pizza Spot in the Bay!
My experience at this restaurant has been consistently great, making it one of my favorite pizza spots in the Bay. I come here all the time because of the excellent food, which is rated a 5/5. They also offer vegan options, and I highly recommend them for vegetarians.
The service is also top-notch, receiving a 5/5 rating, and the atmosphere is enjoyable with a score of 5/5. While it's suitable for all group sizes, finding parking space can be somewhat difficult. I typically visit for dinner.

Food Poisoning from Pizza
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. I got food poisoning from this place. One of the workers mentioned that they had a lot of pizzas in the back to cook before they went bad.
I suspect I received one of those pizzas. Due to this experience, I will never come back here!
