pizza!
Tara N.

Blind onion is always a great pizza! We did sausage and pinapple after a movie recently and it was good! The ambiance is this location is fun, gritty, no frills. But good pizza!

The General, loaded with toppings. Knife & fork required

While I typically prefer thin crust, Neapolitan style pizza, there is something about Blind Onion pizza that I love! The crust is definitely thick with an even thicker edge, yet it is light and buttery, not dense like lead as many thick crust pizzas are. They have many signature combinations and you can also create your own. I'm a traditional margarita or pepperoni pizza gal but the other night my friends wanted the General, a pizza that basically has everything! Sausage, salami, onions, blavk olives, peppers, mushrooms, red sauce and mozzarella. Exactly the type I avoid, lol. But it was delicious! Although had to be eaten with a knife and fork, another thing I don't ever do. My only criticism is that because there were so many toppings, they were not cooked enough for my preference. But that didn't stop me from eating two slices! We also ordered a chicken Parmesan pizza, with chicken breast and lots of mozzarella. Of the two, I preferred the General. We did take out and the pizza was still hot and crisp when we arrived back home. And they were both quickly devoured!

Always a great place for pizza. Love adding the honey packets to the pizza! Great staff, clean building, wonderful pizza!

Completely burnt

After a long day I ordered a pizza from the 164th branch. The bottom of the pizza was black. It T was charred, check out the photos. I really miss the Orchards site.

Blind Onion Customer Service
Rick J.

"Terrible" was my first review but I need to expand just a bit. This is only related to Blind Onion level of customer service and their lack of respect they give their customers. We ordered a medium pizza and salad at 1:30pm for pick up/delivery service at 5pm. Sure seems like a good amount of heads-up time not to screw up an order. The ticket was $66.00 which is rather ridiculous but we understand, it is not easy saying open with the covid restrictions and prices have to go up. They had good enough YELP reviews so happy to support our essential businesses and appreciate what it takes to maintain good YELP standings. Just before 5pm we got an email saying our order was delayed until 5:30pm with no explanation. Not sure how 3.5 hours is not enough time to get an order ready but we understand, things happen. Just after 5:45pm we got an email saying our order was canceled again with no explanation, no phone call, no apology, no respect. This order was for my 87 year old Dad who was happy to chow down upon a pizza around 5pm but instead, he got nothing. Ok, if you want support from the community and want to claim your essential status for a pizza shop, then maybe you should not choose to be so arrogant you just blow customers off like it does not matter. Total dick move.

Ordered pizza tonight from Blind Onion. It was ok. I did like the thin crust. The crust had minimal to no flavor. I expected more for a "Gourmet " Pizza. The cheese wasn't gooey delicious, could be better.. We had the small 8 inch size i like the small servings and not having pizza toppings fall all over me. If the crust was tastier, I would give a 5 starr. Service and Process was good.

You could smell how raw the dough was

I think 2 is honestly generous, considering we paid over market price for a large pizza only for it to be uncooked... Tipped generously too only to be disappointed and threw it in the oven to fully cook so it would go to waste. I would've just gone to papa's had I known I was going to cook it at home anyways, Shame.

We ordered half BBQ chicken (added bacon & pineapple) and half Hawaiian.

We stopped here on our drive on vacation. The pizza is soooooo amazing! The crust is is own pastry - it soooo good! We are absolutely stopping here on every trip down I-5! It's worth the 5 miles off of the highway to come here for their amazing pizza!

Breath Buster up close look at that garlic
Samantha W.

We were super tired and a bit Hangry and had a coupon so decided to try their pizza. First thing we noticed was Huge chocolate chip cookies on the counter for $1.50ea. perfect for dealing with grumpy gamers. We ordered 1/2 Blind Hawaiian and 1/2 Breath Buster. I am sure that the Hawaiian was tasty but the truth is I don't know as I fell deeply in love with the Breath Buster at the first bite and other than grabbing occasional bits of pineapple off the pan I only wanted this lovely savory ode to chunky garlic. When it got to the table the first thing I noticed is that the garlic is very roughly chopped and liberally sprinkled across the pizza. It was not over powering even though it easily could have been. Now I want to try other kinds although I may have the breath buster as 1/2 and a new one each time I go in. It was our first visit but won't be our last. If you have like me driven past for years and wondered, but not stopped, grab a garlic loving friend and go for it.

Generic and bland pizza. Also took 15min longer than the pickup time given. Don't think I'll order again.

Ruse Brewing Crust Collective - Detroit Style Pizza

When I think of a great food experience, I think of Crust Collective. My husband digs the beers,…read morebut I'm in it for the gluten-free deep dish pizza. I love that you can get traditional pizza toppings or creative combinations. The flavor of the pizza is amazing and I have heard that the gluten free crust is considered better than the regular by some people. This location gets busy, so if you can swing an early dinner or a meal at a slightly off time, your wait to sit will be shorter. We came in a bit before 5 when the patio seating was open and got to sit right away. When they are busy, you might wait a bit for food, but the servers are friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu items. We ordered the "something marvelous" (bbq chicken) and a pepperoni pizza (because kids) for our pizza. We also got the beets and burrata salad to start. This was more than enough food and we always take leftovers home. The weather was nice on the patio and you can see the waterfront and river from your seats. We've been here before. We will be back. I hope the Cuban style pizza makes it back on the menu...pizza with pulled pork and pickles? Yes!

We ate at Ruse Brewing on our way down to Portland for the weekend. This was a beautiful day on the…read morewaterfront and there was no wait at 7PM on a Friday night, which we found surprising given how almost every restaurant on the street seemed to be full. We were told it would be a 20 to 25 minute wait for our pizza (I had to ask - the server didn't volunteer this information). It actually took 30. Dini Broccolini ($16) - We ordered this as an app. The dish includes a thick romesco sauce spread along the bottom of the plate. It's served cold and it's quite nutty (walnuts?) and peppery with a strong tangy umami. It's chunky with lots of small pieces blended in. On top of the romesco are three slices of crostini that are much thicker than average. They are completely dried out and crunchy like croutons. They salt the bread a ton; it's salty enough that my mouth felt like it was burning. The only warm thing on the dish is the broccolini, which is baked rather than charred. The texture is great and the seasoning level is perfect. On top of the veggies, they sprinkle pecorino and and breadcrumbs, for additional saltiness, umami, and a bit of crunch. (4/5) Now onto the pizza. Taken from another of my reviews: there are several characteristics that define Detroit-style. Firstly, the base must be a thinner and chewier focaccia dough-like crust, pillowy on the interior and with a crispness on the bottom and sides that are somewhat greasy but not overladen*. There must be flavorful Wisconsin brick cheese (or blend), buttery and fatty, melted on top and spread until it spills over the sides of the crust, creating a crisp caramelized frico ring surrounding the pie. The pepperoni must be underneath the cheese**, and the flavorful tomato sauce, typically in several wide lines, is spread atop the cheese. There must not be too many toppings to prevent the crust from compressing and ruining the texture. *Note 1: The fat/grease is very important, both to allow the crust to crisp up and to act as a hydrophobic layer to prevent sogginess. **Note 2: This is the one trait I dislike since it makes the pepperoni limp and soaked with grease. Dial 'P' for Pepperoni ($26) - As always, I start with the base pepperoni pizza, the most classical Detroit-style pizza. The pizzas here are standard 4-square size (8in x 10in), cut into 6 pieces. Pricing is pretty expensive for this size - I'm used to 8-square (10in x 14in) pricing being around this much. Starting with the base crust - it's pretty good. It's crisp but not overly greasy, thinner and a little collapsed in the area with toppings, but still light and airy without being dense. It's super bubbly from frying in high heat and the crumb, especially towards the sides, looks great. It has a tasty buttery fried flavor. The cheese frico on the sides is underwhelming. While crisp, it's a little collapsed and flattened rather than having lacy, thin, uneven tops as with a great Detroit-style pizza. The bake on the pizza is also uneven, with one side much darker than the other. The darker side unfortunately burns the frico, which gives an unpleasant acridity on one end. On top, they add an appropriate amount of mild mozzarella. It's enough to give a slightly cheesy stretch, but isn't enough to feel overly heavy or rich. They then place pepperoni on top, which cups and crisps up. Again, they don't overload the pizza, so while salty, it's not overwhelmingly so like several other Detroit-style pizzas I've eaten recently. This all makes a pizza that give a really balanced bite. Unfortunately the sauce here is a miss. It's ridiculously tangy and acidic to start with somewhat of a metallic kind of flavor. It then descends into a really heavy overly concentrated flavor of dried Italian herbs. It's incredibly overwhelming, like they wanted to completely cover up the taste of bad quality canned tomatoes* but failed. The dried herbs are followed up with a slight heat that warms the mouth, probably from red pepper flakes mixed in. On each slice of pizza, they place a giant spoonful of sauce, which is unfortunate given that I didn't enjoy the sauce. I think they should revisit their tomato sauce recipe. It's one of the worst Ive had in a while. Luckily, it's not a huge part of the pizza. (3.5/5) Overall the pizzas have some major weaknesses. My review reads very critical, but I think the pizzas are still quite tasty and will satisfy most people. Still, I personally wouldn't return given the better options for Detroit-style pizza across the river. *Note: They use Valoroso canned tomatoes from Stanislaus, which is a company many places in Detroit also use. I doubt the quality of the tomatoes are actually bad. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms

We…read morewere initially sat at a table that wobbled so bad, it could've walked out the door on its own, so we ended up moving to another table. We informed the waiter, and he said thank you and that he'd have it fixed. Another couple came in shortly after we moved, and they were sat at that same wobbly table. We ordered a medium (12") pizza, 1/2 pepperoni and 1/2 All About The Meat. Additionally we ordered a House Salad to share, and since they didn't have Thousand Island dressing, we asked for two sides of Ranch dressing. For drinks, my wife ordered a House Chardonnay and I had ice water. The wine came out promptly. The salad followed short while later. It was a small plate with lettuce, a little bit of cheese, some red onions, and three small tomato slices. No croutons, as per the menu. After about 30 minutes of ordering, the waiter came to tell us that they made a mistake and made the whole pizza All About The Meat. He said we could have that pizza at a discounted price, or we could have another pizza made, the way we ordered it. We went ahead and chose the mistake at a discounted price, rather than wait another 30 plus minutes for a new pizza to be made. Once we got the pizza, the waiter was very apologetic. The pizza, even though not made to order, mainly had sauce, meat, and very little cheese to hold the toppings on. When we got the bill, the waiter said that he was really sorry about the mix up. We reviewed the bill and noticed that the pizza was only discounted $2.00. The wine was $15.00, and the salad was $10.00. We were charged around $28.00 for the pizza, and that was discounted. Really, only a $2.00 discount?? If we would've known the cheap half glass of wine was $15.00, we wouldn't have gotten it, and the salad?? $10.00 for a small plate of iceberg lettuce, a few onions, three small tomato slices and a little cheese? At the time of the writing of this review, I looked up the pizza we ordered on their website, and it appears that a medium (12") half & half pizza containing half pepperoni and half A.B.T.M. is $13.00. Did we get scammed?? The waiter brought us a box for our left over pizza, and again apologized that we had a negative experience. Yes, it was a negative experience that could've been turned into a positive one with some basic Customer Service techniques. But all we were offered was a $2.00 discount on a pizza that was not made to order. Long story short, this was a horrible experience and we will likely not be returning.

Much has changed here since my last review, so I thought I should update it…read more They have expanded the space inside to include a larger bathroom, which is awesome considering they only had one gender neutral bathroom available when we first started coming here. There are more tables too, both normal height and high tops. They've also added a pool table and cornhole, in addition to the original ping pong table. Their menu has evolved as well. In addition to pizzas, sandwiches and appetizers, they've added a Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese, spinach artichoke dip and ice cream floats. They have a nice variety of beers and ciders. Staff is always friendly and helpful. We love their QR code ordering system. It helps you get your food faster and you can just pay your tab on your phone. Such a convenience! You can also make reservations online, which is great for large parties. As others have mentioned, it is located in an odd industrial area set back from the main road. It's easy to miss if you're not watching for their sign. There's plenty of parking and a large outdoor seating area during the summer. Their food prices have gone up, and some items seem a little steep now, but that seems to be happening everywhere nowadays.
