Nice little small town convenience store with good pizza. It has mostly what you would want and if you're a regular, friendly people. The pizza is hit and miss but mostly a hit. I'm sure that it's hard to find good people and especially those who can make a good pie, but we do enjoy getting your pizza in our always generally pleased. read more

This place used to be awesome. Big delicious pizzas for cheap, now you order a 12 inch and it's tiny a real joke honestly. So i decided to try a "6 inch" ham and cheese sub brought it home it's more like 4 inches and all they put on it was weird ham and cheese literally no mayo no lettuce no tomato nothing... I'm disappointed in the new ownership i probably won't be going back read more

The pizza and bread was actually pretty good and the staff was friendly! I'm only giving 3 stars because all 4 employees only wore their masks on their chin. Every customer that came in did not have a mask on either. read more

Originally opened in 1837, as a fur trading station for pioneering frontiersman, The Trading Post of Croton, Michigan has stood the test of time. Located on the banks of the pristine waters of Croton Pond, this cozy pizza parlor/ice cream parlor/liquor store/gas station/convenience shop/bait shop/post office/amateur dentistry, is a one stop shop for the residents of its quiet community. In Summer months, The Trading Post becomes the life line for throngs of pond-going, partying pontooners that swarm to the Muskegon River region for boating, tubing and kayaking. Despite its versatile appeal, The Trading Post's number one draw remains their award winning pizzas (won "Best Pizza in Croton" in 1891). The Trading Post opened before Croton was even Croton. Originally called Muskegon Forks because of its position on the Muskegon River, the small village served as a home base for many French, German and Dutch fur trappers. One such German trapper, Merik Von Schmidt, recognized the need for a centralized collection point for the many animal furs that were brought back to the village. Von Schmidt would buy the animal furs from his fellow villagers and then sell them, with a handsome mark up, to larger markets in Grand Rapids. Over time, Von Schmidt recognized an area of great waste that was present in the fur industry during those times. While many larger animals such as deer and bear were used for food, the carcases of the smaller "junk animals" such as raccoons, beavers, opossums, and porcupines (the demand for porcupine pelts never really took off*), were often discarded for "tasting icky". In true entrepreneurial spirit, Von Schmidt began experimenting with different methods of serving these animals to make them palatable to the common tongue. His first attempt involved grinding the full carcases into a fine paste and then pumping the paste into sausage cases. This is often regarded as the creation of the first hotdog and many of the large hotdog producers still use an extremely similar recipe today. The "Critter Paste Pockets", as Von Schmidt called them, did not catch on, probably due to the name. After numerous other failed attempts, Von Schmidt finally found a winning recipe with the help of a local Italian fur trapper who showed him how to season the various meats to be used as topping on traditional Italian pizzas. The pizzas, with unique toppings such as Raccoon Sausage, Beaver Bits, Porcupine Pepperoni, and Skunk Strips, were a great success and The Trading Post has been dishing up delicious pies ever since. Of course today the topping menu at The Trading Post has shifted to more traditional fare, but the pizza making concepts that made Von Schmidt a success are still present today. Every Trading Post pizza is topped with a sweet tomato sauce and then heaped with a hefty helping of the toppings of your choice and so much cheese you'll be stopped up for a week. The pizza's are then cooked perfectly to a delicious golden brown and served with plenty of extra napkins. The next time you're in the Newaygo County area, which means you are probably lost, you should make it a mission to stop and pick up a delicious pie from The Trading Post. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.** *The demand for porcupine pelts took off briefly in the early 1870's when the U.S. Army experimented with "porcupine uniforms", specifically for close quarters combat. The project was quickly scrapped when irresponsible privates kept hugging each other as practical jokes. **Hogwash Writing cannot guarantee you will not be disappointed.

We needed to take a break so we stopped in here to pick up some munchies and use their restrooms. The first thing I noticed was that there were some good smells here as in food that was either cooking or was already cooked. I found the pizza by the slice display but unfortunately I wasn't in the mood for that so even though it smelled good we went with the standard road trip junk food that you'd expect to pick up from a convenience store. The young man who was the cashier was polite and friendly so kudos for that. The most surprising part for me was that the bathroom was very clean which is always a good sign for anyplace selling food. After reading the other reviewer's comments about the pizza now I'm wishing I had tried it. Oh well, if I get up that way again someday I'll have to give it a try. Overall it was a real good experience. read more

Pizza good but a little expensive. Subs needed help but were ok.
