    Undercooked crust
    Albert T.

    Amar Pizza always seems to appear on the lists of the top pizzas to try out in Detroit. It's not very surprising either, as it's such a rarity to see these kind of fusion flavors in the area. It's been on my try list for years and I finally got a chance to visit the Troy location this past weekend. I ordered over the phone and was quoted around a 25 minute wait time, which makes sense for a Detroit-style pizza with minimal wait. The shop itself is a purely takeout place, with only an order window and two chairs to wait for the pizza. We went with the highly recommend Naga Pizza and started to dig in in the car while it was still fresh. Naga Pizza, Large, Square Deep Dish ($23.99) - This is an 8-square Detroit-style pizza cut into 12 squares (3x4). I found it not too spicy at the start but as I ate more, it got progressively more and more spicy. I don't eat too much South Asian food, but the combination of spices and the cheese kind of reminded me of a spicy paneer makhani, with a rich cheesiness, combination of different spice flavors, and a lighter note from the red onions and cilantro on top. The chicken breast chunks are tender and provided some respite from the spicy flavor. Overall the flavors work very well together in a pizza format. While the flavors are good, unfortunately this particular pizza is not a good Detroit-style pizza. The crust is super wan here, with barely a hint of browning or caramelization and no texture other than chewy dough, with a slight undercooked dough flavor. The dough itself seems to be typical dense and chewy pizza dough instead of the more airy and lighter focacia-like dough that is emblematic of a Detroit-style pizza. There's no cheese on the edges to decorate the crust and give an additional crunch or provide the requisite oil to help grease the crust and fry it as it bakes. (3/5) When I got home, I lightly heated up several slices in a pan with oil, which improved the crust to a crisp and ameliorated the doughy flavor. The problem is if I'm getting takeout, I shouldn't need to do any additional cooking to fix the food! Bathrooms - Amar Pizza is takeout only and there are no customer accessible restrooms. I came in with very high expectations of getting a great fusion Detroit-style pizza. While I did get an inventive and tasty pizza, I did not get a good Detroit-style pizza. The crust was undercooked and just plain not good. If I had to order another pizza from here, I would try their standard crust only.

    New look.

    Small, hole in the wall excellent pizza every time. Owners are hardworking simple people who always give good service.

    Tandoori pizza
    Margie S.

    After reading about Amar pizza in the NYT, I had to try it! We got the naga, tandoori and dry fish pizzas. They can do a half and half if you call, but there is not an option in that for online ordering FYI. We got them Detroit style and they were super flavorful, fun pizzas! The naga sauce had a nice heat and went really well with the fresh cilantro and other toppings. The dried fish pizza was good too, but if you don't like anchovies, I would skip it. We also got a side of naga wings, which were delicious. We tried a side order of the ghost sauce to see if we could handle it. Hot, but doable if you like heat. Make sure you check Amar out!

    Large Deluxe Square Pizza

    The Square pizza was good. But the Deep Dish wasn't cooked all the way. I'm guessing the dough needed time to thaw.

    I've been searching far and wide for halal Detroit style pizza and everyone told me Amar Pizza does it best! I went to the Troy location with my husband and it was small and cute, they made everything fresh and brought it to our car so graciously, what great service We started with an Amar hot dog which had a nice kick to it and then got a small half Philly Cheese steak half Naga pizza (chicken based) and my tastebuds were e l e v a t e d. I can confidently say this was the best Detroit style pizza I've ever had, 10/10 must get!!

    Small Deluxe Deep Dish Pizza
    Stacey B.

    This may be the best pizza! I've recently moved to the area and have tried numerous pizza places, looking for the one that I can call "my spot." We tried Amar last night, and I loved it! My issue with many pizza places is that they load the sauce on. If you're not a fan of a ton of pizza sauce, this place is for you! I ordered a small deluxe, medium pepperoni, and the bread sticks. I didn't try the deluxe, but my husband said it was pretty good. The pepperoni was perfect, and don't even get me started on the breadsticks, they're drool worthy.

    Ghost pizza
    Tracy F.

    I love Amar's pizza because it is unique. They have both deep dish and thin crust. I have had the Ghost pizza which is spicy. I had this on the thin crust. I had the Detroiter pizza as a deep dish. The Detroiter is representative of a Coney Island dogs with hotdogs, chili, onions melted cheese and jalepenos. Both were delicious. You must visit the menu and see what other unusual pizzas they have!

    Southwestern Pizza. Loved every bit, toppings down to the crust.
    Kim T.

    Heck of a pizza selection! If you live in Troy, definitely check it out--could be your new pizza place! I recently followed them on instagram and had to give it a try. We went for the Southwestern pizza. They do not skimp on the toppings which are fresh and for this pizza, I loved the variety from beef, jalapenos, tomatoes, onion and fresh cilantro. Friends were raving about the crust as well! We ordered through third party delivery and we were happy with our service! We already know the next specialty pizza we will be trying!

    Spinach Deep Dish Pizza
    L D.

    Ghost pizza has amazing flavor but the spinach feta comes close! With Ghost and ranch on the side of course. Might be my fav Detroit style pizza around town...

    Halal Meat Lovers - Sooo good!

Bonus points because it's a great place to take pictures -- the vibe is definitely aesthetic. Plus the staff had great recomendations. The food is delicious with tons of variety. I love all the little treats and snack options, and the beverage menu is huge -- there were so many drinks I wanted to try. It's the kind of place where you could come back multiple times and still not work your way through the menu. They even have board games you can play, which makes it perfect for a chill hangout, low-key date, or just catching up with friends. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're in the area. -- DonnyLB | IG & TikTok

However after placing our order on the screen, the two iced latte drinks came out with no espresso added? Apparently on the ordering screen you have to CHOOSE to add espresso, which is counterintuitive because then it's just sugar milk. Anyways that was fixed and my bubble fruit tea was good. I appreciate all the ways to personalize the tea and it's Good that they have non dairy drinks options! The staff person kinda awkwardly set the tray on our table and left - she didn't hand out the drinks to us, which is kind of weird? The cake we ordered took awhile to come out even though it was right there in the display - and I even inquired about it. we were done with our drinks by the time it came out - so it wasn't great timing and we were just over it. The spoons were cute but way too small to enjoy anything - my kiddo liked it though for a few bites. I feel like this was just for ambience and not really sustenance, not sure if I would come back. Maybe for the noodles or other foods but there's lot of other options nearby! They also advertise pizza on their front sign but I didn't see any on the inside menu...? Easy lot parking - watch out for the large pothole up front though!

Renee's has been a trusted spot in our home for years because they make it so easy to order safely. They clearly list all ingredients and allergens on their website, and as someone who deals with gluten and dairy restrictions, I genuinely appreciate that level of care. This time, I ordered through DoorDash and the food arrived quickly and still warm. We tried a variety of things, and one of the standouts was the deep-dish meat lovers pizza with vegan cheese. The crust had that chewy texture I've deeply missed since going gluten-free. It held up beautifully under layers of sauce, melty vegan cheese, and a generous helping of toppings. Bold, rich, and hearty. The chicken wrap surprised me--in a good way. It had a satisfying chew and was packed with toppings and flavor. I also got their cheese flatbread, which had a crispy edge and that deliciously soft center. Now, the fries? Not great. Soggy and under seasoned. My son picked at them but didn't ask for more. Definitely not their strong suit. But the elephant ears made up for it. Warm, sweet, lightly crisp, and topped with just the right amount of icing--they were the perfect way to end the meal.

    I think the most important thing to mention is that they have good ranch. As far as a midwestern…read morepizza place goes, this is a really critical credential. The food itself was very good.

Second time trying this place and I like how they are consistent. Be aware though, they will sell out closer to closing time, so order earlier. My biggest complaint is that the edges of the deep dish are pretty stiff so it scratched up the roof of my mouth pretty good. Which I get the texture might be a part of the appeal but my mouth didn't appreciate it the next day. Now onto what we ordered (we had a pizza party btw, didn't order this all for myself). My favorite was the Carne Supreme - great take on a meatlovers pizza. Perfect amount of meat and the marinara on top helps cut through the richness of the protein. I'm also a fan of the sausage they used, way better than the typical Italian sausage you see on pizzas. Next up is the Hot Honey Ricotta-roni - it's a good hot honey pizza. The ricotta is nice and on the lighter side, wish there was more basil, and the heat from the hot honey was spot on. My third favorite was the Maui Wowi - I like some heat and the jalapenos were just the right amount. The BBQ sauce added some sweet to it, but it felt like an overwhelming amount to the point that I couldn't taste the ham underneath. Lastly the Maui - felt like a good Hawaiian pizza. Nothing special, I did like the contrast between the acidity from the marinara and pineapples to the ham. Overall a good pizza joint. Will order again some time after the roof of my mouth's healed. Worth trying!
