If you're a vegan pizza lover visiting Detroit and want to experience incredible Detroit-style…read morepizza, this is the place. I've been coming here for years and am still impressed by their substantial vegan options. When I say anything can be made vegan, I truly mean it. This isn't your standard veggie pizza with no cheese--it's creative, flavor-packed pizzas with excellent vegan substitutes that genuinely stand up to their non-vegan counterparts. They even offer vegan desserts, which makes the experience that much better. As a vegan in Detroit, this spot is a go-to and a true haven for bold, satisfying flavors. Parking can be a bit tricky, so I often recommend takeout. That said, if you do find a spot, the indoor decor has a great vibe and is worth enjoying (delish pizza smells ). I also believe they have an outdoor patio during the summer, which is a nice bonus. Either way, this is standout vegan food in an ever-growing Detroit food scene and definitely worth a visit!

Buddy's pizza on Conant in Detroit…read more This is the best square pizza in Michigan, period. I order on their app, they tell me when to pick it up, and it's always ready and it's always hot and delicious. Today I got an 8 square meat. Picked it up, they show you the lie when you pick it up. Always looks delicious and it always tastes delicious. If you know Buddy's, then you know. If you don't know Buddys, then you should get to know them. They're like the prom queen of pizza. Cool location with a lot of nostalgia on the walls. Give them a try. Food network isn't wrong, they're the best!

The Wisconsin brick cheese had that enviable cheese pull and the crispy edges (and bottom) gave a great taste and satisfying bite. Threw in a local beer to wash everything down. Shout out to Anesha for taking good care of us! This is the original location. Worth the drive for me, even though my hotel was in Dearborn, not far from another. Restaurant was cozy with traditional decor. Neat mural in the lot and it was trippy looking at a painting in of the original owners dining in front of a painting...that was the painting on the opposite wall. You want great pizza?

Michigan & Trumbull is hands down the best pizza in Detroit…read more I've only ever ordered delivery, and even then, it's consistently incredible. The pizza shows up looking amazing and somehow tastes even better. Classic Detroit-style crust with crispy edges, light and airy inside, and bold, well-balanced toppings. It's gourmet, original, and just flat-out better than anything else I've had in the city. What really stands out is how well it travels. The pizza arrives hot, intact, and exactly how it should be, which is not easy to pull off with Detroit-style pizza. You can tell they care about quality all the way through, not just when it leaves the kitchen. Delivery is always smooth, and the overall experience has been great every time. I honestly can't say enough good things. If you want the best Detroit-style pizza around, Michigan & Trumbull is it.

This was my first time trying this place for their pizzas that I had heard are amazing but it…read moredidn't feel that to me. Although I may come back again to try a different pizza to judge that portion of this establishment better since it didn't feel any different to me from other chain restaurants I've tried so not sure what's the hype about. Seating is limited, service is bad. They open at 12pm on a Sunday and I had called at 12.05 to check if they have a waiting , they first refused to put us on wait list on the phone which is ok, next they mention (at 12.05pm) they already had a waiting of 45 min. While we did place the order on the phone to pick up in 20-25 min, when we arrived we did find a couple seats empty and for some reason they were discouraging us to get a seat when we had mentioned multiple times that we would like to dine in and only take togo if there is a long waiting. There were people waiting outside on the picnic style tables they have which they call "outdoor seating". They were not waiting to be seated as well and just waiting for their pizza to go when we asked. While taking the pizza we asked if we can get some water they refused they don't have water for to go! I already had placed a cola for togo so it was hard to imagine that they have colas but no water?!?!? Service is exceptionally bad for our experience and this will highly discourage us to even try this place again anytime soon

I don't know what this man's intentions were, but he could've came up to me and just simply asked "are you doing okay? is there anything i can do for you?" instead of scooping me out as if i was getting ready to commit a crime. as I spend more time being back in my home in Detroit, i'm just not understanding why it's too difficult to receive decent and humane customer service. i'm just in complete concern & dismay due to this experience, do so much better.

I remember when it was just a carry-out place before the built up the restaurant on the side, when we would just eat pizza out of a box on the sidewalk. On this day, we eat at their restaurant, and it is always so good. I have been craving a salad, and their rucola salad was so refreshing and delicious. I have been seeing people eat a kale Caesar salad, while this is not exactly like it, it seems close and such a good balance with the rich pizza. I got a limoncello drink, and an Aperol spritz, both nice a refreshing. The spritz was not the best I have had, but still worth trying. The limoncello drink was really good, definitely get this one. We also tried the red ale, very nice and drinkable. We had two pizzas. One was a red sauce cheese pizza with spinach, and the other was a white pizza, the Marguerita, with roasted garlic. The crust is so good, so thin. This place was on Food Network for a reason ( I remember so long ago seeing this place featured on TV). It is such a classic place. We always love visiting here and plan to come back soon.

There were 6 of us so we had to put our name down and it was a ~30 min wait, but so worth it. We ordered the Cashew Caesar Salad to start followed by 3 types of medium sized pizzas: Pepperoni, Meat Lovers and Sausage + Pistachio. The food came out so quickly and SO tasty. I love a good Caesar Salad and the cashews added such a nice nutty taste to it - a hefty portion as well where all of us got a solid serving. The pizzas were cut, luckily, in 6 - super hot and the cheese pulls were so satisfying. My favourite was the Sausage and Pistachio - I've never had one like this and as someone who loves pistachio, the combination worked so well. All to say, the other 2 were also delicious. The pizzas were meaty and I appreciate how they also had vegan/vegetarian substitutions if needed. 10/10 service as well, and our server was awesome! Such a fun spot with lots of seating to accommodate all different sized parties with bar seating as well. We'll definitely recommend Grandma Bob's to our friends and we'd love to return when we come back to Detroit!

First time in Detroit and had to check out some Detroit-style pizza…read more This came up and decided to drive out and give it a try. There is street parking and a lot in the back where you pay through your phone. You seat yourself. It is communal tables and about 10-12 seats at the bar. I sat down and the bartender was very attentive. I asked if the pizzas under the Deep Dish section is Detroit Pizza. The medium was described as 12"x10" and cut 6 squares. I got that thinking I'd take the rest home. I got the spicy pepperoni which comes with pepperoni, banana peppers, ricotta, Mike's Hot Honey and oregano. Nice selection of drinks if you do partake in beverages. Pizza was absolutely amazing. The crust, sauce, cheese and toppings came together well. Did I have some to take home? No. That could have been easily shared with 1-2 others too. Solid place. No idea what to compare to, but enjoyable.

The vibe was lovely and fun on a Saturday night. We started with the burrata, which was excellent. It wasn't just a basic arugula and burrata situation, it was well seasoned with a really nice olive oil, lemon, and balsamic combination that made it feel elevated. It also came with baguette slices, but those are made with their pizza dough (which contains eggs). Once we mentioned my egg intolerance, our server was incredibly kind and checked with the kitchen, and they were able to make alternative slices using their gluten-free dough. Really appreciated that extra effort. The Grandma's Pizza (we did it on the gluten-free crust because of the egg) was pretty good. The crust itself was solid, especially for gluten-free. The toppings leaned heavier on the cheese than the sauce, and I didn't love the cheese as much, but it was still an enjoyable dish overall. Service really stood out -- everyone we interacted with at the bar was friendly, attentive, and accommodating.

At the restaurant side we chose the recommendations given by the first person except we chose to keep the salad dressing that came with the salad. I will say everything was very good. Our server was very attentive. We decided to order the Super 6 Mile and added banana peppers and took out the ham. We also added the Greek salad to share. Both items were a hit. We really liked our food. The ambiance was cool they were showing the Pistons v Cavs game so everyone was entertained. The biggest surprise of the night was when it came time to get the check the waitress said that the gentleman that was next to us paid our bill and didn't want the waitress to tell us he did. That has never happened b4 we were so grateful. After posting on Tik tok they say this is a regular thing that happens in Detroit. Thank you if you ever see this.

It wasn't even the food because the pizza was okay. The service really didn't hit it off for me at all though. It was a late night and it was about to be closing time in the next hour from when I was sitting down but I only sat at the bar just to grab a bite. I didn't even want any drinks. We sat down and we waited for water for a while and then it took a while to get our order taken, which was already inconvenient. I could see that we were the inconvenience because the bartender was already cleaning up so we weren't getting as much attention as we could have gotten. Even though we didn't really want anything except to put in an order for food. The bartender acted like we were stopping him from working to close the bar, which I can understand. At the same time you're not supposed to let your customers know that you feel a way about them sitting down. The food came super late as well so that also was not really a good experience. It shouldn't take 30 minutes to get one pizza pie out of the oven especially when it's an empty restaurant, just about because everybody's about to leave so there wasn't a crowd. The only thing that I give 3 stars as a par for is just because the pizza was pretty good but for everything else I wasn't super pleased last time I was at home. It was opening day weekend the last time I was there and I am sure that everybody was taking a beating because downtown was so lively but at the same time you never let your customers know.
