What reviewers say elsewhere

• “This place makes a good pizza. The manager special is a good value. While I'd like to see more topping portions, it's still a good value. I'm a regular now.”

• “While in town for a concert with my girlfriend, we tried the pizza and the Italian hoagie(Sub). Everything was excellent!”

• “Good pizza and service. Unfortunately, the people hanging in the parking lot with negative activity can make businesses look bad. This is next too Henry Ford Hospital Detroit. DPD should patrol that lot.”
