Have not had Alibi pizza in 15 years and I remember why.... it's a very less than average pizza... Every pizza I can think of in the Troy area is better than this pizza. I would rather do Peppy's pizza, Benito's pizza,... The list goes on.... and so should you... read more

Really not happy with the service. Calling in my order the other day was told 15-20 minutes but when I got there I had to wait an additional 15. It was standing room only and the way staff were flowing the order traffic was awful. There was a wait for bread so they would hand you your order and have you step away from the counter with it. I was holding my pizzas for a good 10-15 minutes with people bumping into me. I got my hot bread that was still doughy in the middle (not cooked) and that was the only thing that was still hot by the time I got my food home the whole 5 minute ride, but it didn't matter because they weren't edible. My salad was not right, I was given a greek salad and that wasn't my order. This is not the first nor tenth time this has happened. I learned my lesson and will go to Little Ceasars from now on. It's no better dining in. On a busy night I leave my SO and kids in the car to reserve a spot without having the kids go nuts in the lobby...nope, they will not take our reservation unless we are all there. Then the wait staff doesn't bring the entire order when we order it...a side of ranch? Extra napkins? Not happening. So I guess we are not Alibi people after all these years. read more

We get Alibi carry out quite often and it's very frustrating when more often than not, there is an issue. Today we ordered pizza and antipasto salad. When my husband came home, we realized we were given the wrong dressing. Anyone who has had the antipasto knows the dressing is what makes the salad amazing. I called to speak to the manager and was told we could come pick up the correct dressing. Living in northern Rochester Hills doesn't make that an option. The manager then offered to give us 1/2 off our next salad which was not acceptable. We spend a lot of money there and we didn't even touch the salad without the dressing. After talking further with the manager, he agreed to credit our next salad. Again, we love the food, I just think they need to work on their customer service and order checking. read more

Pizza was not bad, been here many times and it's been better. The salad and bread sticks was nothing special. I honestly felt like the food was rushed because it has tasted better in the past read more

This place has the best pizza I've ever had in my life... I moved to San Francisco but I would consider moving back to Rochester if The Alibi would let me live in the kitchen. Perfection. read more

The service was horrible. It took over 15 minutes for a waitress to come and take my order. Then after my food came my food was cooked well done when i asked for medium. The waitress did not refill our drinks. It took almost 1.5 hours from sitting to completion. The waitress was very rude the entire time. We had to ask for silverware and plates. The experience was horrible. I wanted to complain to a manager and waited for one to stop by my table to ask about my exerience but no one came. read more

Alibi - This is how fast our table was cleared......NOT - Pizza Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Love the Alibi for the ambiance and of course the pizza. Salads are very good as well. Both the antipasto dressing and pizza crust have a sweetness that makes them unique and addicting. Pros: warm, comfortable atmosphere, good for families and couples alike, good bar area, consistent food, great salads and top notch pizza. The specialty is the round which has a med thick crust. If you're a fan of pepperoni this is a good place to order it - round, crispy little grease cups. Cons: I wouldn't have remembered, but as someone else pointed out here the 'no seating until the entire party is present' policy could be an inconvenience. I was burned on that once. If it's cold out I'd avoid tables near the door in the bar area. Indifference: consistently, perfectly, adequate service. I frequented the Alibi pretty regularly for a while and never had a bad service experience or one I would consider exceptional. read more

Been to the Alibi several times. I was always happy with Fish and Chips, pot pies or the other normal dishes I ordered. Then I discovered their pizza and my world changed. Man, this is the best pizza ever! I usually eat 2, maybe 3 pieces of normal pizza, but at Alibi, I devour an entire small. Sure I get a stomach ache and want to take a nap, but it oh so worth it. Service is always friendly. The atmosphere is causal and cozy. It's a fun place to visit on occasion. read more

We were a party of 18 people celebrating my nephews graduation. When we called to make reservations, we were told that they did not accept dinner reservations, lunch only. Do we arranged for a member of our party to show up an hour in advance, because we know that it is not normal for 18 people to show up unexpectedly. When she arrived, the manager, Jeff, told her that she could not be seated until the entire party arrived. She explained that it was a graduation and there were 18 people, and he would not make any exceptions. When our entire party of 18 showed up, we waited another 15 minutes for Jeff to ask if it would no ok to split our party, or we could wait even longer to be seated. We ended going to Shields in Troy, on Maple. The owner came over to our table when he heard what had happened and he personally thanked us for the business. After receiving the response from the owner of the Alibi, I believe the attitude of the staff is coming directly from the top. Having been a general manager in the past, I can say there are always exceptions in the service industry, Steven. read more

You may want to look elsewhere if you're considering hosting a banquet event here. The pros: The banquet room is really nice. There are sliding doors you can close so your group doesn't disturb the patrons in the restaurant and your party has privacy. Our waitress was great! She was so kind and did her very best to ensure we had everything we needed. Her service was timely and friendly. The cons: When I stopped in the restaurant to pay my deposit and review their banquet options, there was no manager available (even though I was told there would be). I was asked to wait. I waited for 45 minutes (I should have just left). When I was finally able to review the banquet policy, I was told they offer zero flexibility within the established banquet menu. I understand they want to run an event as efficiently as possible. However, I was simply asking for a platter of chicken parm to serve in addition to the pizza buffet. I would have gladly paid extra. Leading up to the event, my headcount changed twice. The people I spoke with about this were clearly annoyed that I was reducing the amount of people coming (even though I was still going to hit the room minimum). On the day of the event, the room had all of the extra tables and chairs shoved in the corner. It looked really unorganized and tacky. I understand they may not have another place to store these items, but they could at least make it look presentable. I was disappointed they served the pasta in three tiny little bowls on the buffet. One larger pan over a chaffing dish would have been nice. The pasta was not good. It was cold and lacked flavor (almost like a can of sauce was just poured over noodles). Luckily the salad, pizza, and bread made up for what the pasta lacked. Banquet warning: I was really disappointed at their prices. While I thought their $14.95/per person charge for adults was reasonable, they charged $10 for each child (over the phone I was told they charge menu pricing for kids, which ranges from 4.50 to 5.95). I asked if they would be willing to serve a scoop of ice cream with the cake we brought in (they wanted to charge $3 per scoop...insane). Also, they only allow you to set up 20 minutes before your event. Our event was a small luncheon, but I couldn't' imagine hosting a larger event and having only 20 minutes to set up. I feel like the Alibi only cares about their bottom line. They serve cheap food at high prices and don't go the extra mile to make their customers feel like they are getting a good dining experience (yes, I've even in their restaurant too and feel the same way). The only person I dealt with at the Alibi who I thought cared about my event was our waitress. read more

This place has gone down hill because of the manager and the way he treats paying customers as well as his staff. Used to live there carry out pizza As well as dining in. Well that won't happen again. We used to go to this place when it was a tiny house! read more

My family have been eating here forever. The food is fantastic! And the restaurant is comfy and cozy. We have never had a problem with the wonderful staff! Definitely a Troy Landmark! read more

Great pizza but even better salads!!!! This is an awesome place to go hang out with friends!

Stickers for rules. Lobby is open but god forbid you try to enter. Death stare and rude employees. The customer doesn't come first in this place. They would rather you freeze than let you in a minute early. Without customers, the food doesn't matter. Less attitude, more visits. read more

This place is always busy, but the wait isn't normally too long. I come hear for the pizza.....delicious!

We had not been here for over 2 years. We were pleasantly surpised. The salad and breadsticks were just like what we remembered.

Amazing food! Awesome pizza and bread sticks and the French dips are wonderful as my husband says, Wish there was some more gluten free options for the French dip or pizza... that would be wonderful to have that with the more popular food items read more

Haven't eaten here in a long time and its as good as I remember. I tried the antipasto salad with the house made Greek dressing. I'm obsessed with the dressing. I hope they sell it by itself to go. The pizza was yummy too. I can't wait to go back. read more

alibi is a cook place. i would love it if y'all had some good vegan options. any plans for this in the future?

Steven, Thank you for acknowledging my concern. However, the problem was really not a concern about the restaurant hours, but that of the poor behavior and response of your manager (family member?) last Sunday. I sincerely hope that you will address his rude behavior with him personally, to prevent this from happening to other customers. Sincerely, Tina and Dan W. read more

What I like about The Alibi: - Their pizza is scrumptious and reasonably priced - Their Famous Sub is worthy of the name - The Tuna Pita is a scrumptious lunch meal - The stir fry will is surprisingly delicious You'll want to arrive by 11:45 if you're going for lunch M-F because the place fills up pretty quickly after that and you may have to wait 15 to 20 minutes to get a table. The atmosphere inside is rustic and homey with a large stone fireplace in the center, open timber ceiling and antique decorations adorning the walls. If you're a person who likes lots of personal space, you'll want to request a booth because the tables lining the exterior walls are quite close together. They have a good bar and seating is available in the bar area where you can order from the full dining room menu. They also have an amply sized room available to rent for parties. read more

OH! - so many things to love on this menu! If you ever have the chance, ask them to make you a BAKED SPAGHETTI. It's not on the menu, but if you're a cheese lover, you'll LOVE this one! French onion soup and pizza are always a hit. This place is always packed (and for good reason), so expect a bit of a wait. read more

It was really busy for a Tuesday around 2. The chicken masala is amazing as well as the bread sticks! Alibi has some of the best Alfredo I've ever had! Took awhile to get refills of water and to be checked on but over all pretty good! read more

I have eaten at this restaurant for over 30 years. The last 4 times I have eaten here it has been one issue after another. I love the baked scrod with stir fried vegetables, tonight the vegetables we hard, hardly cooked, the fish was over done. The last time I ordered Chicken Alfredo, in the past I thought the best around. It was bland and watery.... Has this place been sold? Are there new cooks? The waitstaff is always great, the food has been lacking. We find ourselves when looking for where to go, we have started to avoid the Alibi. Tonight took another chance, and more disappointment. read more

Rude and patronizing manager would not allow us into the banquet room to set up before 20 minutes prior to our event. He was completely rude and disagreeable from the beginning of our conversation to the end! This will be the last $4,000 we spend on a client event here! read more

First experience and for sure the last one . We order a pizza with 4 items , the menu didn't give us to many choises :-( . When finally our pizza came I was so disappointed :the crust was sweet , the cheese was almoust invisible and of course no sauce . It's true was big for a medium size pizza , but could be better read more

I love the food...or at least used to. But in the last few times we have dined in and/or gotten carry-out, the food has been disappointing, the service has been unpleasant, and I leave feeling like I wasted my money. Receiving and antipasto salad with NO meat?! How is that possible?! Servers telling me they'll be gone for a while because "they have another section" is is just unacceptable. I was a server for 5 years in a restaurant twice the size and NEVER used that as an excuse. I've been coming here since I was a kid with my grandparents, but the disappointment lately has just completely pushed me away. Sorry alibi, but you are really not worth a good rating. read more

If I could give this place a negative star I would. All the reviews that rave about their pizza drew us in. At the time of ordering, I asked for a side of pizza sauce to be served with our small peperoni pizza. The waitress served our pizza without it, then brought it after waiting until our pizza was cool, and the sauce was so cold it had to have just come from the fridge! The crust was get this.....tasted of sugar? Yes! Egads. My Italian friend wanted to throw it back at them. When we told our waitress of our displeasure, she told us she would have the manager remove it from our bill. Here is the last disappointment, the manager never came to appologize or to talk to us. To me that is the ultimate slap in a restaurant. They obviously dont deserve their high ratings. read more

The worst customer experience ever. The place is empty we have 4 out of 5 people present and the customer unfriendly manager refuses to sit us...walked out and never going back. Their pizza is at best average. read more

The food here is Ah-mazing! If that's all there was they would get 10 out of 5 stars! However, the service is really bad. The hostess during the day is downright rude and should never have customer interaction. I think she's related to the owner somehow, that's really the only explanation I can think of. The servers are all scatter-brained and it's almost impossible to get the special prices they have listed on the menu in the lobby. We went at night once and won't do it again, we were reminded right when we got there of what time they close and then when closing time came she literally shooed us out of the restaurant, physically. The service really makes sad because the food rocks so hard. I think I'll try carry out next time I get the craving.. read more

Sunday night is always a great time for our family to sit down & enjoy some pizza. After hearing about the Alibi in Troy from a couple different people at a shower I decided to read the reviews on Yelp, I came to the conclusion I must try this Alibi! Pulling in the parking lot I couldn't help but notice how old the building was but how well kept it was. We got some chuckles over the several signs daring us not to back in to the parking spots. The landscaping offered some of springs most beautiful flowers and whisked us to the friendly hostess who was hiding behind a 4 foot hollowed out tree trunk. We were greeted by a server within minutes who had our beverages & broccoli cheese bites on the table within minutes!! We absolutely loved the Antipasto salad which consisted of rough chopped ice berg lettuce, a sweet vinaigrette that I can still taste as I write this review. The salad was different from most antipastos, in that it had shredded mozzarella and a fine balance of meat & cheese. I'm gonna try to word this right so that the pizza doesn't get hard feelings, but OMG... those bread sticks were crunchy, buttery, salty, sweet and uniquely delicious!!!!!! The pizza was as yummy as well. Crisp crust sharing the same flavor profile as the bread sticks with plenty of melted mozzarella cheese sharing the spotlight with little grease filled cup of pepperonis. The ham was slightly burnt at the corners, which is how I like it baby. We ate all but a couple slices of our large pizza and were more then pleased they we were just able to feed the whole family for around 40 dollars. Jeanne was a great server and turned her table in about an hour with no complaints from this full family. read more

My favorite place to go to sit down and have a pizza. The antipasto salad is on point as well. Only downfall is the place is always busy and sometimes service is slow, but the staff is always pleasant and you definitely get your money's worth. Definitely will be returning. read more

Pizza is fantastic--fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. Also have enjoyed the fish and chips and carryout sandwiches. Another favorite is the salads--fresh, good dressing and great combos like Chicken pecan salad. read more

Great pizza but terrible service. I really don't know why I come back here. It seems like u are bothering the wait staff when you want to order. read more

We used Alibi for a baby shower. I can't say enough good things about the staff and the service and especially the food. There was more than enough food and the quality of the food was excellent as usual. The waitstaff continuously filled beverages and any other requests. I highly recommend Alibi for special events. We are regular customers and have always had a good experience. read more

The Alibi has been around for many years. Most of my friends who grew up in Michigan have fond memories of dining at the Alibi throughout their childhood and now with their own families. The atmosphere is fun and busy with lots of family diners. The interiors resemble a large log cabin with a huge stone fireplace. Service is inconsistent ranging from great (if you are a regular) to just okay. I've always enjoyed their Greek Salad and House Special Supreme Pizza - Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Mushrooms,Green Peppers, Onions, Ground Beef, Bacon, Ham, Black Olives, and Anchovies served on request. Another favorite is their Hand-Battered Fried Mushrooms. House favorites include Fish n Chips! full slab Baby Back Ribs and Prime Rib on weekends. read more

Very disappointed in the customer service tonight at Alibi. We arrived at Alibi around 6:15 with three young hostesses at the front hostess stand. There was no wait and she took us to a table and we asked at that time for one of the two empty booths. The hostess let out a huge sigh (very annoyed apparently) and proceeded to tell me it would be a wait for the two empty booths! While waiting numerous people came and good to know we were not the only patrons they were rude to. Finally seated at 6:35 in a different both while the two booths that were opened remained open?! Food was good...service was okay...could have been better. Two stars this visit because of the customer service. read more

The service was horrid. What I believe was the manager came up to our table essentially yelling at us saying that if all of our people weren't here we can't sit. We were already seated and had begun to order and interrupted our dinner. However the food and waitress was delightful. Ergo, this man's rude behavior is not how a professional should be treating his paying customers. I am very disappointed in the service provided. read more

The first thing to be wary about is the long wait at dinner rush. Other than that its a place that specializes in pizza and otherwise has pretty generic American or Italian food. The large size anti pasto salad is pretty good though probably had a full two cups of cheese which overpowered the rest of any taste they were trying to go for. The pizza wasn't bad a little skimpy on the toppings and clearly the person who was in charge of cutting it didn't care as some pieces were the size of two and some were tiny. The other detractor from the pizza was probably that the sauce was the sweetest I've ever tasted. All in all it's not a terrible place to eat that probably not something worth going out of your way for. The hot bread sticks though an additional $2.50 are probably worth it though feel like something that should be free instead of just the pretzel sticks that come to every table. read more

I ate at the Alibi for the first time in years and my overall experience was positive. We went on a Friday night and had to wait for about 20 minutes before we were seated (it was a happening place!). Once seated our waitress was quick to approach us and we ordered from the menu, which was your standard casual dining fare, lots of sandwiches and about 8-9 classic dinner items. The atmosphere was dark wood and given the foot traffic the dirty floor was understandable. The food was late due to the rush, but our waitress was polite and apologetic about it. From the orders around our table it looked like their pizza was the main draw. Our food was ok, but not wait 20 minutes outside good. The pizza crust/sauce was nothing special but the toppings were fresh. My Reuben sandwich was again nothing special. All in all I'll give it three stars and maybe go back on a slower night. read more
