Blink and you'll miss it! Tucked away in a small shopping plaza off of Palm and Nees is some of the best pizza in Fresno, hands down. Let's start with the vibe. The shop itself is small and isn't afraid of color. The warm red walls and beautiful photos of ingredients are vibrant but not distracting. There is a very chill, clean vibe about the place. Once you go up to the counter to order, you're greeted by friendly, knowledgeable staff that are more than willing to explain the menu. They say there are two styles of pizza, a Detroit-style square, thick-crust pizza and the round California style. I opted for the Pinnacle PBR pizza, Detroit style, since the staff said this is their most popular. I also got the Gilroy Garlic Chicken pizza as a round, and then of course, some garlic knots. I am not a pizza person, so I am very rarely enthusiastic about pizza, but this place blew my expectations out of the water! First, the garlic knots--buttery, soft, and the perfect pull-apart texture. I'm not huge on marinara sauce, but even without it, I could easily eat 5 of these. So addicting! Next, the Pinnacle PBR--UN. BELIEVE. ABLE!! The thick crust had the perfect charred CRUNCH on the outside with a soft, warm bread crumb on the inside. Not to mention, the red sauce, pepperoni, and ricotta cheese were already an incredibly rich and savory combination together--but topped off with hot honey? I've been changed! Finally, the Gilroy Garlic Chicken--delicious! I honestly wish I got it Detroit style since that is definitely better, but nonetheless the pizza was the perfect amount of garlic-y and salty. Loved it! Hope to come back very soon. read more

This review is kind of "hit and miss" with me. I think they're absolutely incredible and stand out among other pizza chains in the Fresno area. However, there are certain things that keep them from a 5 star rating for me. First off, on their app, they don't allow you to customize certain pizzas. We wanted to get the Margarita but it wouldn't allow to take off the basil, jess had a reaction to basil last time she had it fresh and we wanted to get it on the side for myself, but no option to do such was available. I called the restaurant to inform them i had just placed a delivery order, but before i could continue with my inquiry, i was given the response of, "ooooookkkkk", so i then proceeded to explain the situation with the basil and the tone from the woman on the phone changed and she became very helpful and even suggested i get it on the side and that she would make sure they did that for us. The customer service experience started off rocky for me, but ended on a good note, which was nice. Secondly, the California Crust is not what you think. If you're used to the thicker version from Me n Eds pizza; this is not that. It's a thinner pizza, almost like a Neapolitan crossed with your standard pie dough. Excellent bite on the crust, little flop on the slice but the pizza overall was a little soupy from the sauce and not enough cheese. This being just the margarita, I can't imagine how it would hold up if you added more than one topping to a customized pie. Third, DO NOT GET IT DELIVERED. I cannot stress that enough. We ordered through their app which happens to go through DoorDash, we were 5min away at a hotel and our order still showed up cold. I want to partially blame it on driver incompetence, cause it wasn't the first driver within a two day span in this town that brought us cold food, but for being so close, you would've thought it was going to come piping hot! It didn't. We paid over $40 to get cold pizzas. If you're gonna come here, come inside and order it. I probably wouldn't even suggest placing a pick up if you aren't a few min away heading straight there. This was the kind of place you see so many amazing reviews and its truly deserving of the praise. The only location we've had so far that has an authentic Detroit Style Pizza experience. The pizza had a great darkened crust on the edges that gave an amazing crunch with a buttery flavor. The cup and crisp pepperonis were a nice touch with a rich and hearty marinara sauce. It honestly reminded me of an elevated version of the Little Caesar version, except this one is properly cooked and tastes/has better quality ingredients. I just wish we could've tried it fresh out of the oven. If you have any heartburn or gallbladder issues, unfortunately this place is gonna be a pass. We have both of those conditions and after we each ate a slice of the Detroit, we were done for. Mind you, we got a medium that comes with 4 slices and we couldn't finish it cause of the pain it started to inflict lol. For anyone who isn't dealing with those conditions, i can absolutely see you devouring a medium to yourselves. It is around $18 for a medium pizza or Detroit Style which is reasonable for a Craft Pizza Spot. Overall, i would absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for something different other than Chick Fil A or In N Out that's just a few blocks away. They did a great job on making the pizzas for the most part. It just seems more deserving to eat it there. You get to have the full experience I feel that they are intending for you to have, rather than take the risk of getting it delivered and getting a cold pie. read more

The pizza looked good but it was just missing flavor honestly I give it a 5/10 also over priced The dessert was amazing it's the cinnamon knots 6$ worth it 10/10 I got a side order of jalapeños and they're not even fresh it's from a can from the grocery store paid a 1$ each and I thought it was gonna be like fresh pickled penos the ranch was super watery I am huge on pizza and Dave portnoy would agree no under carriage read more

Pizza is my fav! So I was really excited to try 99 Craft Pizza. The location is a little different, might be better when there are more businesses around. Currently, there is a liquor store right next door and a Sola Salon down the way. John (the owner, I think) was very nice and made some suggestions when he heard it was our first time. I asked for mine extra saucy and I wasn't disappointed. He also gave me some hot honey to try, but I wasn't a fan. The place is small, and not much seating so don't go there with a large party. I noticed a lot of pick up orders (likely Uber Eats or DoorDash). I definitely recommend the deep dish (Detroit Style). It was so good. The edges were crispy and it was definitely filling. read more

So excited to come back to the pizza joint. I got the pinnacles. I enjoyed the sweet and savory taste. The ricotta cheese on top always hits. Service was great. The owner was hand, delivering pizzas and greeting customers. He always has some wisdom to share about his business. A lot of people came into takeout orders. There was about four tables filled with people. I've got to bring a friend of mine and he loved it. Price was more than I usually pay for a pizza, but I didn't have to drive all the way to San Francisco to get a piece of this quality. The only thing I'd have to say is, I think the restroom was clean however I think cleaning supplies should be locked in a cabinet. Mostly due to children being in the restroom and having access to all those chemicals. Which is an easy fix. Thank you guys for your great service. I will definitely come back here. read more

99 Craft Pizza - Pinnacle PBR - Pizza Near Me - Fresno, California

Unreal. So good! I'm originally from the east coast and this is right up there with that standard! Try the pinnacles pbr! Won't disappoint!

I love this pizza and the first time I got it the same style and size it look bigger than this one this time. So I measure it to make sure. The description says 8 by 10 and this one it's a little bit too smaller. Maybe they didn't use the mold or something. I missed a little chunk. I love this pizza so a little missing it's a big loss for me. The flavor it's there and I really would like to keep on coming but please make it the right size next time. Thank you for making great pizzas. Staff it's very helpful and nice. I opened the box until I got home and didn't want to go back since I live on the other side of town. read more

It's so good to have high-quality craft pizza in Fresno! We got the Pinnacle PBR and Berry Dessert pizza. We had the PBR Detroit style. I'm not sure I've had a better pizza in my life. It was perfect for me. Pepperoni, hot honey, ricotta, fresh basil, cheese, fresh marinara. It was spicy, sweet, chewy, and maybe the best part, the crispy, caramelized cheese edges. It was the perfect pizza. read more

Awesome pizza and wonderful staff! I was introduced to Detroit Style Pizza when I was living in Texas, of all places. LOL. I'm glad to have a place out here. Everything I've tried here has been outstanding. The staff is accommodating the best thing - they offer build your own with other sauce options! It works out perfectly for me since I have a tomato allergy. I also have different options of sauces not just one. I also suggest the garlic knots. They are perfect. Crusty exterior, pillowy interior. Perfect amount of garlic, herbs and other seasonings. The restaurant itself is always clean and easy to get to. They also have a great reward program. read more

99 Craft Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Fresno, California

The service was amazing! The woman who was helping us was very nice and energetic! The food came out fresh and quick! The wait was only about 15mins for all 3 items we ordered. When we got there late Saturday night (7:30pm ish) it was pretty empty with only 1 other man inside with us. It was very clean and felt very well put together! The food was excellent! We got the Pinnacle BBR (Detroit style) and the Underground Gardens (cali style) along with the garlic cheese bread. Both pizzas were excellent! The garlic cheesy bread was just alright. It sounded extremely good at the time but it turned out to be much closer to "eh". I'd get it again if I were craving cheese bread, but I would opt to skip it in general. Overall, everything was delicious and the service was fantastic!! read more

THE FRESNO HOME OF THE AMAZING DETROIT-STYLE PIZZA!! For two decades, 99 Craft Pizza has been serving some of the finest pizzas and crafted dishes in the area, using quality, locally sourced ingredients and hand-crafted recipes. Their Detroit-style pizzas are among the most popular items on the menu -- and for good reason. Often mistaken for Chicago's round, deep-dish pizza, Detroit-style pizza is its own delicious creation. It is baked in a rectangular steel pan, featuring a thick but airy crust with a chewy interior and crispy, caramelized cheese edges. The sauce is layered on top -- sometimes in stripes -- and traditionally uses Wisconsin brick or mozzarella cheese. I first discovered this pizzeria during a Yelp Elite event last month and had the chance to sample several of their signature offerings. The standout was the Pinnacle PBR, which left such an impression that I came back for more. On my return visit, I ordered the Valley Deluxe, available in both Detroit-style (which I chose) and round California-style. It is their take on a classic combination pizza -- topped with pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, basil, and house red sauce. The Valley Deluxe delivered an impressive balance of flavors and textures. The salty pepperoni, spicy sausage, and earthy mushrooms complemented the fresh peppers and fragrant basil beautifully. The crust was golden brown, light and chewy inside, with just the right amount of crisp on the edges. The sauce was rich and layered with savory, sweet, and tangy notes. Each slice looked as good as it tasted -- fresh toppings, generous cheese, and an inviting aroma. Service was friendly and attentive, matching the quality of the food. The restaurant itself is tucked behind major businesses near the corner of West Nees and North Palm Avenues. Though small in size, it is a hidden gem -- one of the few spots in the Central Valley specializing in Detroit-style pizza. Every item, from pizza to garlic bread, is prepared with care and top-notch ingredients. I only wish I had discovered this place sooner. 99 Craft Pizza is a true standout -- delicious, satisfying, and one of the best pizza experiences I have had in quite some time. read more

Came to 99 Craft Pizza for the first time and ordered the Double Pepperoni and the Pinnacle PBR, both Detroit-style. The Pinnacle PBR was really good and I'd definitely recommend it. The undercarriage was nice and crunchy, which I really enjoyed. The Double Pepperoni was very airy and soft with a great texture. It was lowkey kinda saucy, so if you're not into a saucier pizza, just keep that in mind. Other than that, it was really good. Overall, I enjoyed both pizzas would come back try something else For both these pizzas Detroit style LARGE came to 61$ read more

The pizza was really tasty overall! I wasn't too impressed by the marinara sauce or the lack of flavor in the Detroit-style crust, but everything else made up for it. The garlic knots were super garlicky in the best way possible, and the California round pizza was my favorite, the mix of sweet and spicy flavors was perfect. I love how creative they are with their toppings; every slice feels like the perfect bite. The only thing that threw me off was the vibe, the restaurant looks more like a grab-and-go or order-by-the-slice spot, but the pizza quality feels more upscale. It's tucked away in a hidden location, but definitely worth checking out. With a bit more of an artisanal vibe, this place could really thrive. John, one of the owners, hosted a Yelp Elite event, but it felt like his staff wasn't fully prepared or welcoming. As Yelp Elites, we're there to support local spots and bring in the foot traffic that helps keep doors open, so enthusiasm goes a long way. I was also put off by John's comments about customer feedback. Yelp exists to help businesses stay accountable and consistent. The experience didn't feel very personal or connected; his story about 99 and Detroit Pizza came across more like a generic business concept than something authentic or rooted in passion. read more

Ambiance average & service was mixed (2 ppl, one not great as he seemed annoyed & didn't know about the Yelp Elite event despite it being late afternoon on the second day but other guy was fine). The double pepperoni Detroit was good but also really salty. Would've liked more sauce too. The regular cheese was ok but the crust, as you can see, was pretty dark to outright burned. Not a great representation of the product IMO. Appreciate their participation in the Yelp Elite event tho. read more

Fresh, high-quality ingredients paired with a friendly and overqualified staff -- many with backgrounds in top-tier restaurants. This place delivers quality, affordable pizza that actually lives up to the hype. It's the only true New York-style pizza I've found in the area, and the owner is genuinely committed to meeting everyone's taste. Whether you're after that classic thin, crisp New York crust or something heartier like Detroit-style, they've got you covered. They also excel at specialty pies and offer great options for vegetarians. The Underground looked incredible. Don't sleep on this one -- seriously. read more

When my friend Mel told me she found the best pizzeria in Fresno, I was definitely skeptical... but wow -- this place completely blew me away. From the cleanliness to the guest experience to my first bite, I could tell this was the real deal. The pizza tastes genuinely authentic, handcrafted with the freshest ingredients, and the crust is phenomenal -- perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside. I also loved that they offer gluten-free options, which isn't always easy to find done this well. The menu has so many great choices that it was honestly hard to decide, and now I'm officially on a mission to come back and try every single pizza they make. If you're searching for top-tier pizza in Fresno, this spot absolutely lives up to the hype. read more

99 Craft Pizza - Menu - Pizza Near Me - Fresno, California

Today was the day I walked in before 11am. A few minutes before they opened and Gavin was making the pies for slice sales. I had one thing on my mind since I heard about this place making Detroit style pies. I ordered a large Detroit cheese. I only ate one slice before buying a slice of round cheese to help me make a fair review. Both styles were great. With Annessos right down the street where the best pizza in Fresno is made IMO this could have been a rough score. I've eaten more pizza in my 66 years than Dave Portnoy and I lived the first 19 years of my life in northern NJ. That said 99 Craft has a very unique and delicious Detroit style pie. The puffy yet crisp crust is outstanding. The sauce they ladle over the top was so good I almost chewed my fingers off. I believe the thick crust is par baked and finished in the oven after you order. Either way I believe the Detroit style pies they churn out at 99 Craft are absolutely in the conversation of the best pizza in Fresno. I may be a retired furniture business veteran but pizza is my passion and 99 Craft is the kind of business that gets me excited. Order this pizza every chance you get. The owners name is Steve (I think) and he deserves to be successful at this daring endeavor in a town with hundreds of pizza choices. Crazy Bernie is a huge fan. read more

If you want a good Detroit style pizza, this is your spot! I had to try the pinnacles because the ricotta and hot honey intrigued me. The ricotta adds a nice creaminess and a slight sweetness to the bite. Wish they'd put more on it! The hot honey wasn't hot at all to me and some extra spiciness would've rounded out all the flavors nicely. Loved the thick crust and crispy edges. Service was quick and friendly. Lots of tables for a smaller space, but not crowded. Will definitely be back to try some other flavors, the cheese bread, the berry basil bliss, and cinnamon roll focaccia. read more

99 Craft Pizza was such a great surprise! I had never heard of it before friends brought some over to our house, and I was very impressed! The quality and flavor were excellent. We tried the Chicago-style pizza with the sauce on top, which was definitely different and fun to try! While I probably lean more toward their original style, I really appreciated how the Chicago version adds something unique instead of feeling like just another standard pizza. We loved it and will definitely be ordering takeout from here soon. Easy 5 stars! read more

This restaurant is perfect for casual dining or family outings. You order at the counter and they bring the pizza to the table; there a self-serve fountain machine for drinks. Pizza was a little overhyped and looks better than it tasted in my opinion. Don't get me wrong- still a good pizza but nothing impressive. The dough was thick and fluffy, but a little floppy so toppings slipped right off. Garlic knots lacked flavor like pre-chopped jarred garlic was used or something, but the bread paired well with the marinara sauce. read more

Decided to try this place after hearing about it on Nextdoor. I ordered Valley Deluxe to go. Picked up my pizza after about 15 minutes after placing my order online. Upon inspecting the pizza it looked nothing like the photo on their website for to go orders. I will include photos for comparison. Maybe they changed the way they make it since the sauce was placed on top of the toppings unlike pictured. The crust and sauce were delicious. All downhill from there. Cupped pepperoni was charred and tasted like charcoal. Again picture for online orders shows flat pepperoni. Hardly any sausage and no basil to be found on pizza as well. Makes me think sauce on top is to cover lack of toppings and burnt pepperoni. Really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it left me disappointed. Lots of positive reviews on yelp maybe just one off. read more
