This was hands-down some of the best pizza we have had! Saying the owner, Jesse, went above and beyond to make sure all went smoothly is an understatement. He and his staff (special shout-out to Rachel) were friendly and courteous. I am very much looking forward to being in the area again and dining in next time. Sounds like I will need to try the buffalo dip...along with one of the desserts!

This place is a train wreck. We ordered food to go and waited at the bar, where the…read morebartender--while friendly--was clearly overwhelmed. Despite placing a to-go order, food kept coming out with no containers ready, and food runners seemed indifferent to whether the order was correct or not. It was genuinely sad.

Wowww wow wow! I…read morewasnt sure what to expect when my friend suggested this place but I was thoroughly and pleasantly surprised. The "Detroit style" pizza really reminds me more of focaccia bread. It is SO fluffy and delightful. Unpopular opinion here but I typically don't consider pizza to be a "meal." It's something you eat when you don't have it in you to cook, and even if you get it in Chicago it's like...a last ditch effort at feeding yourself. BUT this feels like a meal. Like a treat. Like a schmancy lil indulgence you deserve. My friend is gluten free and I never in a million years would guess this is gluten free. I almost hope they didn't mistakenly put it on regular dough, for my friends sake. But if this is legitimately gluten free, I would gladly get it again even if I wasn't with a gluten intolerant friend. The artichoke pieces are massive, tender and tangy. The sausage is a bit strange, ground sausage instead of little lumps. And the mushrooms really top the "artesenal" feel. There's a cute little market with interesting delicacies and they have an incredibly diverse assortment of non-alcoholic beverages. The clerk did an amazing job of describing many of the options, took a lot of time making sure we knew what we were looking at. Definitely a connoisseur. Fabulous. A little pricey but, again, this is an indulgence. A meal. A quaint opportunity to relax and engulf yourself in fluffy, delectable fare that feels authentic and real. Not just ingredients tossed on a piece of dough for convenience sake. I look for to my next visit here!

This place is a real gem! I was shocked to find somewhere this good in small-town Michigan. I made…read moremy parents come here from Indiana and we're so glad we did. They've got a great selection of pizzas in several styles. We tried both the thin-crust Roman style and the thicker al taglio. Both were good but the al taglio was fantastic! The crust was the best part, for sure. We got vegan pizzas (with really good vegan cheese!), but they've got a ton of dairy/meat options as well. It's nice to go somewhere that can serve everyone! There's also a really good little market of Italian products and wines, so you can do a little shopping too while you're here. I didn't have a sandwich but they've looked really good too. There's a nice dog-friendly outdoor patio as well for warm days. Emma Hearth and Market is a must-visit if you're in the area and worth a drive too!

There is patio seating outside on the deck, and plenty of seats inside that can accommodate small groups.

They also do carry out as seen from the bustling pick up counter. They also carry a limited selection of craft beers and wine. Food was delicious and our server was awesome and helpful with the menu as first timers. Will certainly be back to this hidden little gem!

The drinks are great, the menu hits a lot of great areas (I haven't had anything I haven't liked yet, seriously), the servers have been attentive and so friendly, the vibe is super casual but like just fancy enough, you feel me?

Even though we had a party of 8 they were able to seat us right away. The restaurant is pretty spacious with seating available for larger groups but it is best to call in advance to check on wait times before heading out since they don't take reservations. We got the harvest pizza, the parugula and the bbq chicken pizza. We also ordered 2 salads, Cheryl and Caesar salads. We enjoyed them all. We also asked for hot honey on the side for those that wanted that extra sweet kick. Service was very friendly. The pizzas came out at a reasonable time. The restaurant does get a little loud but since we were seated off the side and in a corner table, it wasn't too bad.

Today, I decided that I wanted something different and had a drive until I was back in town, so it would be fine to have a longer wait time for pick up. I don't see why it takes 45 minutes to make a regular crust pizza with one topping, but at least they let you know ahead of time. My issue today was that I also ordered a sandwich. I picked up my food as the pizza was coming out of the oven, in which I had to wait on.. and the whole time my sandwich was setting there boxed up. It had been boxed up for quite some time. The sandwich was cold, and the pizza was bland and didn't have the extra sauce that I paid for. It's just very bland pizza. The crust is flavorless, and it seems like the cheese is too. The sandwich would have been good if it was hot and the oil hadn't soaked into the bread by the time my pizza was ready. Let me also add, that it's a pretty pricey pizza. So... high cost, long wait times, and meh flavor.
