This review is kind of "hit and miss" with me. I think they're absolutely incredible and stand out…read moreamong other pizza chains in the Fresno area. However, there are certain things that keep them from a 5 star rating for me.
First off, on their app, they don't allow you to customize certain pizzas. We wanted to get the Margarita but it wouldn't allow to take off the basil, jess had a reaction to basil last time she had it fresh and we wanted to get it on the side for myself, but no option to do such was available. I called the restaurant to inform them i had just placed a delivery order, but before i could continue with my inquiry, i was given the response of, "ooooookkkkk", so i then proceeded to explain the situation with the basil and the tone from the woman on the phone changed and she became very helpful and even suggested i get it on the side and that she would make sure they did that for us. The customer service experience started off rocky for me, but ended on a good note, which was nice.
Secondly, the California Crust is not what you think. If you're used to the thicker version from Me n Eds pizza; this is not that. It's a thinner pizza, almost like a Neapolitan crossed with your standard pie dough. Excellent bite on the crust, little flop on the slice but the pizza overall was a little soupy from the sauce and not enough cheese. This being just the margarita, I can't imagine how it would hold up if you added more than one topping to a customized pie.
Third, DO NOT GET IT DELIVERED. I cannot stress that enough. We ordered through their app which happens to go through DoorDash, we were 5min away at a hotel and our order still showed up cold. I want to partially blame it on driver incompetence, cause it wasn't the first driver within a two day span in this town that brought us cold food, but for being so close, you would've thought it was going to come piping hot! It didn't. We paid over $40 to get cold pizzas. If you're gonna come here, come inside and order it. I probably wouldn't even suggest placing a pick up if you aren't a few min away heading straight there.
This was the kind of place you see so many amazing reviews and its truly deserving of the praise. The only location we've had so far that has an authentic Detroit Style Pizza experience. The pizza had a great darkened crust on the edges that gave an amazing crunch with a buttery flavor. The cup and crisp pepperonis were a nice touch with a rich and hearty marinara sauce. It honestly reminded me of an elevated version of the Little Caesar version, except this one is properly cooked and tastes/has better quality ingredients. I just wish we could've tried it fresh out of the oven.
If you have any heartburn or gallbladder issues, unfortunately this place is gonna be a pass. We have both of those conditions and after we each ate a slice of the Detroit, we were done for. Mind you, we got a medium that comes with 4 slices and we couldn't finish it cause of the pain it started to inflict lol. For anyone who isn't dealing with those conditions, i can absolutely see you devouring a medium to yourselves. It is around $18 for a medium pizza or Detroit Style which is reasonable for a Craft Pizza Spot.
Overall, i would absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for something different other than Chick Fil A or In N Out that's just a few blocks away. They did a great job on making the pizzas for the most part. It just seems more deserving to eat it there. You get to have the full experience I feel that they are intending for you to have, rather than take the risk of getting it delivered and getting a cold pie.
