Exceptional experience! The place is quite small that you might miss it if you blink. Pizza was a 30min wait but we had a big order! We called it in and picked up. The grinders and pizza are phenomenal. The dough and bread are made fresh daily. We ordered an 'All the Meats" pizza, a Club Grinder, 7" Philly Grinder, a specialty pizza and Quesadilla. The 16" pizzas are HUGE! It's never a mistake when you order a pizza too big. Breakfast anyone? The dough is nicely cooked and the toppings taste fresh. The grinders were crunchy but not dry at all. They were packed with flavor and the lettuce and tomato added that veggie you are hoping for in a sandwich. Much better than Quiznos. The quesadilla was ok. Too dry for my kid. But it came with salsa and sour cream which he refused to try. His loss! We will definitely be ordering for here again. Prices were super reasonable. read more

Been coming to Saugatuck -specifically Goshorn Lake -for the last 21 years and can say very comfortably that back alley pizza is the best we've had up here. It is simply outstanding. read more

The food is really good but every time I call to place an order for deliver, they say they aren't starting till a later time. And the time they start delivery seems to change every day, so I never know when I'll actually be able to order. Wish I could rave about this place but I can never get an order in! read more

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. read more

Take out only. We got the BLT pizza and a cheese pizza. Both were excellent. Also got antipasto and purple kale salads (spicy dressing). Both were remarkable good. For desert we got cinnamon bites with their cream cheese frosting which might become an addiction, but we don't close enough. read more

Called to see how long a small salad would take and when the phone was picked up she said "how can i help you.." and i asked ofc the question above and she told me an hour (totally fine i know it's that season) and i said "okay thank you so much-" and the she hung up.. i was about to order the salad read more

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 read more

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!

Awesome spot! Great people (mostly women!), solid pizza with lots of options and always quick. Love this very reliable year-round spot.

It's the best pizza around. The staff is friendly, the pizza is great, and the other food on the menu is consistently good. They get VERY busy during the summer months, so be patient! The delivery service is also convenient! read more

Service is spectacular! Food is amazing! BLT pizza and the pesto supreme are the best ! Very cool little pizza joint ! 10/10

We ordered delivery on a Friday night - they delivered on time and the pizza we ordered was hot and delicious! We got the back alley deluxe with a little modification and it was so yummy we ate the entire pie in one sitting. Highly recommend! read more

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! read more

Our take out from back alley last night was great. We went with a large half cheese half pepperoni and Italian sausage. Definitely ask for it well done to get the extra crispy under carriage. The folks working at the front couldn't have been nicer as well. We'll definitely be back! read more

Ordered takeout at Back Alley our first night in Michigan. We had a late check-in at our Airbnb and were hungry! Nice customer service over the phone. Order was ready in 20 minutes! We got the Ranch Chicken and the Just Horsing Around. Both tasty and had a generous amount of meat on the pizzas! Horseradish in the Just Horsing Around was very subtle so don't be afraid of it! Definitely can't wait to try other specialty pizzas from here! read more

Fresh made bread and dough. The grinders are a go to favorite for lunch. Pizzas are good -carry out only

Great service for how busy they were on a Monday when most restaurants were closed. Easy parking on the street.

Okay, I'm eating my way out of South Haven, kayaking in between wherever I find a boat launch, and as I rolled through Douglas I decided to find a greek salad. There were a few places that looked like I might not have the best clothing to dine in, so after reading the greek salad description on the menu in the window at Back Alley Pizza Joint, I ordered a large one with chicken. It took twenty minutes to make, so I drove into adjacent Saugatuck, and wow! what a nice little place to eat a salad! But I digress. The greek salad was intense! Must've weighed three pounds, the right conbo of ingredients, and two, not one as advertised, breadsticks and greek dressings! Yes is the answer. Go here. Also, I didn't try the pizza, but they were definitely turning them out! read more

Delicious! We had a 14" margherita pizza (well sort of - we added mushrooms and bacon) and a 14" Hawaiian pizza (build your own, red onions, pineapple, ham) and sides of ranch. Overall - very very good. Fed four adults with leftovers. Highly recommend the ranch - has dill but not too dilly. We all agreed the crust was different than what we were used to(maybe chewier and didn't tear well), but it held up really well with the toppings. Service was quick and they had the pizza ready when they said they would. We chose carry out, but they also had an option to deliver. read more

Pizza is very good one of the place in town I will get food from and the also have delivery services with good prices.

Great pizza, service and fast. They sell dough balls if you want to make your own. Nice local joint open through the winter! read more

I would say my Chipotle chicken sandwich was adequate.. The quesadilla my partner ordered looked maybe a little more satisfying but neither item is anything we need to repeat. Friendly staff, fair prices but pretty utilitarian food. read more

Every time I come to Douglas I go here! Great food and super nice employees. I recommend the chicken pesto pizza!

Love their grinders! Really friendly staff and I have always had a great meal here. It's not an eat in place but great to go pizza.

I was coordinating a bachelor party in Saugatuck near Clear Creek golf course. We wanted a quick dinner. Looked at reviews and pictures and ordered from Back Alley. The reviews don't do this place justice. Hidden Gem. The pizza is sort of a thin crust. The sauce is tasty. The cheese and topping are just the right amounts. We ordered 6 16 inch pizzas for 10 people. 2 pepperoni, 1 pepperoni, 1 sicilian supreme, 2 bbq chicken. Almost all of it was eaten. Everyone thought all the pizzas were delicious. read more

Great pizzas, sandwiches, pastas and salads. I have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered and they're open year-round which is much appreciated during the winter slow season. read more

Was staying in South Haven but made the short trip up to Douglas just for this delicious pizza! Very delicious. Very accommodating for customizations for picky eaters. Would go back again and again. read more

Best spot in town! Great prices and great food! Lots of choices. Love visiting when I'm in MI.

The pizza has so much potential. The toppings were fresh and tasted so good, but too much sauce on the pizza which ended making the crust underneath it all soggy. I couldn't pick up a slice without it flopping and drooping which then caused the toppings to slide off. read more
