    Great pizza in the village! Always busy in the summer. This is my go to for pizza up north!

    Amazing pizza and even better service! Loaded up on toppings with the Meat Galore. They were very busy and the pizza only took about 10 minutes to come out of the oven!

    Cheese

    We got take out and pizza's were made quick and were super hot! It smelled so good inside but only got take out since we had our pups with us.

    I was driving through Elk Rapids on a Sunday afternoon and this was the only restaurant open. There was a line to order food and it moved pretty slow. While I was waiting I noticed that they had a bunch of articles on the wall from local publications about how good their pizza is. This set my expectations fairly high. They have pizza by the slice so I got a slice of pepperoni and a slice of 7 cheese. The pepperoni was your standard pepperoni pizza, nothing special about it. The 7 cheese was good and they definitely don't skimp on loading the cheese on. The crust on both pizza was thick but kind of bland. I was left wishing I had something to dip the crust in. Overall it was a good local pizza place. But I won't be dreaming about the pizza I had or going out of my way to go back.

    Such a unique whole wheat crust! Love the 7 cheese. GET THE CANOLLI! You won't regret it.

    We enjoyed a dinner after arriving in town on a recent Friday evening. It was quite busy, and there…read morewas a decent wait, but we passed the time in the beer garden. It was a mixed crowd, with lots of families and young children. I had the Northwoods Blueberry Açaí mineral water while I waited and it was SO GOOD. Once we were seated and placed our order at the bar, the food came out fairly quickly.We had the hummus appetizer, the Rocket and the Three Rivers. I loved the Rocket - I love any pizza with goat cheese! This was a great spot to kick off our vacation with the fam after a long day of travel!

    Super cool brewery located in at an old train depot with a huge patio for seating!! They specialize…read morein flatbread pizzas and beers. When we got there, the hostess warned us that the pizzas were taking up to an hour to make. I appreciate that they warned us before we committed to dining there! We didn't mind the wait. There are no waiters, so you order everything at the bar then they bring your food to you with a table number. I ordered the raspberry beer and it was really good. I typically don't like beer, but I love fruit flavors. As an appetizer, we got the red pepper hummus and it was meh--I didn't really like it. It was thick and had the texture of cold refried beans and instead of pita, it was served with tortilla chips that tasted like Tostitos brand. For my flatbread pizza, I chose the Wolverine which was topped with pineapple, pepperoni, jalapeños. I've never had pineapple on pizza so I can't really be a good judge, but it was alright. I liked how thin the crust was. For dessert, we got the mini ice cream bars as recommended by the woman sitting near us. They're Ice Box Brand Ice Cream Bars by a Michigan-based company. They sell two sizes: regular and mini. I chose a mini toffee crunch and it was the perfect size. It was really good. I'd love to just buy these ice cream bars to have at home!!
