Have we REALLY been ordering BA for 25 years? Wow. As locals, we appreciate grabbing a quick to-go order on our way home from work or (as we often enjoy) on our way to the beach. We ordered a few subs and the pizza breadsticks and yes, all were delicious. The roast beef sub is still great after all these years. When did it become so difficult to order/find a grinder baked in a real pizza oven? Makes a huge difference. Wifey enjoyed the pesto chicken sub. And yes, we BOTH enjoyed the hell out of the garlicky, cheesey breadsticks. We look forward to our next pre-sunset BA run.

TL; DR: great pizza, order ahead This is a great pizza place that has great prices. Heads up - We called ahead on a Thursday and the pizza was ready in 50 minutes around dinner time. Overall this is a great spot for pizza for a group of people that won't break the bank

Gluten free pizza - so good.

The best gluten free pizza I've had! I also got a salad with ranch and it tasted so fresh and the ranch definitely tasted homemade - amazing! The staff was friendly when I called to order the and delivery driver was extremely friendly even though he had to deliver in the rain. Overall definitely recommend!

Was in town for a long weekend with my family and nothing feeds a family better than pizza! My husband and I, who have been coming to the Saugatuck area for years, had always had Back Alley on our radar but we'd never been. So we decided to order from them. We got a couple of pies, a plain cheese pepperoni and a deluxe with Italian sausage, onion, pepperoni, green pepper, and mushrooms. The pizza itself is on the thinner side, not quite a NY style kind of thin but thinner than a hand tossed round. The pies were tasty overall. The crust was sturdy, and the sauce had a weight and good flavor, the cheese on the pepperoni was browned a little more than I typically like (I like a gooey cheese) but still quite good. We'd definitely order from them again! Next time I'd be game to try one of their grinders, too!

Ordered a small Douglas Social. One of the best pizzas I've had all year!! The combination of the spinach, feta and red onions was perfect!

Grabbed a pizza and some wings here to go when in town last week and both were pretty good! We went…read morewith the deluxe pizza (hold the olives) and the BBQ sweet chili wings. Both were pretty good! A bit pricey for a large pizza tho ($29) but it was plenty of food for three people so when you break it down it wasn't too bad. Pick up was easy and I was able to get a spot in the lot next to them (tho during peak tourist time that might not be so doable) so I could run in and out. They have a larger dining room than I was expecting and it was quite nice in there. Very Italian tavern kind of style. They also had a few grab and go things like beer, wine, a bit of snacks, etc. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "market" but it had a few things that were handy if you're in from out of town.

As locals, we appreciate sitting outside in the summer and seeing so many familiar faces. Scooter's…read morescratches the pizza itch and sitting outside is a nice bonus. We jumped off the boat, made our way across the street, and sat down outside. Service was a little disjointed/slow, but picked up the pace after we ordered our drinks. Pizza is well-sauced, solid, and has a nice "fold." The (tasty) dip is exactly what you'd expect. The fried ravioli was interesting and had an unexpected crunch. Price point reflects "what you get" and the 'Tuck's summertime hustle/bustle. Our main feedback would be to "punch up" the salads and toppings (see pic). Yes, we understand that the price point will go up. Salad, pizza, and wine is a popular combo and we'd love to see Scooter's enhance their salads.
